Hong Kong Disneyland Tour Tips

Visiting Hong Kong Disneyland is indeed one thing you want to do in Hong Kong unless you are more of a shopper and/or a person who wanted to learn new culture. Here are the things I can share as tips when going to Hong Kong Disneyland.

An umbrella for a change of weather.

It is important to bring your umbrella around just in case the weather changes. I remember arriving at Hong Kong Disneyland without it and it was way too hot. So we just take the heat of the sun and enjoy instead. Best thing to do is check the weather before heading to Hong Kong Disneyland so you could further prepare.


Bring as much cash as you can especially when kids are with you.

Having kids with you may have you spend more than what you have planned for the day. Especially when they saw goodies or things that attracts them. Remember, you’re on a kid’s paradise which means greater stuff kids love are just waiting around the corner. Also bringing extra cash is always a good thing to do when going out. In cases you would need money for any unwanted fees, you have yourself all primed.




A bottle of water or drink per person might help quench your thirst.

The guard informed us that we are not allowed to carry more than a bottle of water inside the theme park. And being inside a theme park, prices of goods typically is twice as much as what it is outside, so bringing a bottle of water will save you bucks. There are drinking fountains around so you should be good refilling your bottle of water whenever you wanted. I betya'll be thirsting yourself up after riding and walking around Hong Kong Disneyland.

A snack or two might save some penny.

Just like the latter you are not allowed to bring too many bags of chips or bread, etc. when you’re inside a theme park. Therefore, you may want to bring just enough and also you might want to taste some of the food Hong Kong Disneyland offers such us Mickey waffles, sausage sandwich, and weird pumpkin designed doughnuts, etc.

Wear proper clothes and shoes.

You should know what are the dos and don’ts when visiting a theme park. Just like any other theme park, Hong Kong Disneyland offers lots of rides which your clothes might either get wet or flown or worst get torn. I would suggest you wear comfortable clothes and shoes so you can walk around and ride without any other things to bear in mind. Wear something that will not bother you. You don’t want your feet starts killing you in such short time else you will ruin the fun.

Extra clothes just in case.

Some rides might get you wet or sweat so having an extra clothes with you will make you feel comfortable at most. You know kids as well, so better be ready.



Meds for headaches and motion sickness.

Most people enjoy the rides but you would not know how long you can stand those fast and head turning rides. Just keeping a tablet or 2 for headaches and motion sickness might save the day.

Take lots of memories.

Not only experiencing all the best things in Hong Kong Disneyland but taking pictures might help you saving up some memories which you can share to your families and friends. Get yourself a good camera, point and shoot are what I could suggest for non-prof photographers, to capture every magical moment you have in Hong Kong Disneyland.

Enjoy some rides or as much as possible all rides.

Hong Kong Disneyland is a theme park and your ticket says “a day pass”. So what are you waiting for, enjoy all the rides and ride ‘em all till you drop.  Enjoy!




Plan your tour around the vicinity.

When going to any kind of park you might want to have your route planned for the map you have. Deciding where to go first then last is the best way to make sure you will be able to do all things and got no problems on the way out. Also, this is a theme park so you might want to not go with the flow as people stack up per ride.

Know what’s new.

It is a must to know what the theme park’s new attractions are and their monthly theme. This might help you in getting dressed or maybe there are some contests or freebies you can get if you followed their set theme. Which I will be sharing on the next article – “Disneyland’s Halloween Celebration”.


Hope this helps out. The next article is about Disneyland's Halloween theme which I actually took some photos and hope you like them as well.

Zai Jian Macau! Ni Hao Hong Kong!




View from my seat inside the Cotai Water Jet.


Touring Macau ended as quickly as we stepped on our ferry ride to Hong Kong. We paid for 149MOP for the Cotai Jet ride to Hong Kong <They have trips every 30 minutes but it is still best to get your tickets booked ahead of time>. It was a good experience riding the ferry even we cannot see what is going on outside. It was a little bumpy but a safe trip after all. The whole Cotai Jet gives you a feel of an airplane traveling on a cloudy weather. The stewardess was not as helpful as I expected especially when we asked for a copy of the disembarkation slips, she just waived her hands at us to wait and screamed “I’ll get back to you!” and did not get back at all. I no longer want to waste time arguing with this kind of scenario. I have been walking my feet against the ground the whole day and I don’t want another discomfort. So I let myself to have a quick nap <it’s my way of not to feel sea sick… hehehe> and woke up about 30 minutes before docking. So I quickly fill out my disembarkation slip and noticed that the format they wanted for the date was ddmmmyyyy (28JAN2013) so I need to re-write everything and it’s not only me. Ikhay and Kambal did the same thing.


Upon arriving at the Tsim Sha Tsui/Kowloon Ferry Station or the HK-Macau Ferry Terminal we walked past the immigration and find ourselves wandering around the Shun Tak Centre and China Merchant Tower then lead to the UG1 and took a cab to Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
You should always keep a copy of your hotel reservation so the cab drivers will be able to read the address and drop you to the right place.

Some passenger keeping themselves busy while traveling.
We rested in our hotel after finding a cheap place to eat which our hotelier informed us “The cheapest food here is in McDonalds!” Yes indeed McDonalds is the cheapest fast food restaurant around our hotel but we rather ate at KFC and tried something different. I ate a bowl size of baked chicken on rice with extra chicken leg part on the side and a cup of soda. I was all starving as there has been no food served during our voyage.

Once we get back to the hotel, we cleaned and readied ourselves for the next day’s plan. Checked what stations we should ride from Tsim Sha Tsui to Disney Land. Indeed, Disney Land day is next and I will write more for you tomorrow.  

Thanks for reading this one. Please do visit my blogsites at http://travelingwithyu.wordpress.com and http://travelingwithyu.blogspot.com, or like my webpage at www.facebook.com/travelingwithyu .

Goldwyn, I did not forget your request. I’m still working on my articles and will get back to you with the budget.

If you have any questions please let me know and I’d be happier to help.


I would like to take the advantage on thanking Ria for giving me a passport holder/jacket. It was very useful! Also, thank you Ate Eileen for the bull cap. I did use it and will still be using it. I had some pictures wearing the cap you gave me and I really like the colour! Again thank you so much for the gifts!
