Hong Kong : Disneyland
From Ngong Ping Village, we are literally running to get to Hong Kong Disneyland. We booked for 5 days for our Hong Kong and Macau trip, but I guess for us, 5 days is still not enough to go to all the touristic places of Hong Kong. At Tung Chung MTR Station, we proceeded to Sunny Bay MTR Station to Disneyland Resort Line, just 2 stations away and we will be at the happiest place on earth, Hong Kong Disneyland.

Hong Kong Disneyland is located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. It is the first theme park located inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and is owned and managed by the Hong Kong International Theme Parks. The park had its official opening to visitors on September 12, 2005. Disney attempted to avoid problems of cultural backlash by attempting to incorporate Chinese culture, customs, and traditions when designing and building the resort, including the adherence to the rules of feng shui. For instance, a bend was put in a walkway near the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort entrance so good qi energy wouldn't flow into the South China Sea.
Foods and drinks are not allowed inside so we ate our lunch that we bought at Mcdonalds in Tung Chung outside Disneyland. But we were able to hide some burgers and fries under our camera, hahaha =). The food inside the theme park is quite pricey but we still bought coke in can inside the theme park at HK$22 each, noodles and ordinary meals were priced at HK$50.
Ticket prices are at HK$450 for adults 12-64 y/o and HK$350 for kids for 1 day ticket. There's a 2-day ticket with HK$585 and HK$415 rates for kids. When we got here in 2011 it was only HK$350 and HK$250. For more promo packages with Disney's Hollywood Hotel or Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, click here.
Hong Kong Disneyland currently occupies 22.4 hectares (55 acres); it will be expanded to 27.5 hectares (68 acres) when three new themed areas are completed. After the expansion, the park is expected to handle 7.92 million to 8.92 million visitors annually. The park capacity will increase to handle up to 10 million visitors annually over a 15-year expansion period.

Dedication :
To all who come to this happy place, welcome.
Many years ago, Walt Disney introduced the world to enchanted realms of
fantasy and adventure, yesterday and tomorrow, in a magical place called
Disneyland. Today that spirit of imagination and discovery comes to
life in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Disneyland is dedicated to the young
and the young at heart - with the hope that it will be a source of joy
and inspiration, and an enduring symbol of the cooperation, friendship
and understanding between the people of Hong Kong and the United States
of America.
