My Hong Kong Diaries: Round and Round We Went

Dinner. Not too bad.

Dessert (NOT at where we had dinner)! I LOVED dessert! hehehe.

I did not include 1 day in my trip because we spent the day shopping and playing in our hotel, AND didn't take pictures. So this was kind of our last day in Hong Kong (excluding our morning flight home).

and yes, we spent it at Ocean Park.

As compared to almost 3 years ago, I would say they have indeed revamped parts of the place, and there are now more roller coasters for theme park lovers. BUT, I'd have to warn you that none of the roller coasters scared the dickens out of me.

Like Disneyland, the queues were so short that we did not have to queue for quite a number of rides. So, we ended up sitting everything we wanted to sit. Bad thing, though, is that so many of their rides go round and round (and round), so I was a little dizzy at the end of the day.

Nonetheless, being someone who LOVES theme parks and rides, I thoroughly enjoyed my day in Ocean Park (albeit some underwhelming rides).

My Hong Kong Diaries: FEI HEI! FEI HEI! (translated to: Fly High! Fly High!)

There are two things you have to do in a Disney Park:

1. Watch the parade in the Disney Park (the parades are unique to every Disney Park)

2. Catch the fireworks (especially the 'arc' over the castle)

It's mandatory to do the above two because they emanate everything Disney is about. 

Fantasy. Dreams. Believing in yourself.

It's why I love Disney so completely. They teach kids to dream, to believe, and to work for their dreams.

So FEI HEI.

ps. I do realize my blog is more of a photo diary than a written journal. But a picture speaks a thousand words right?

My Hong Kong Diaries: The Happiest Place on Earth

 Breakfast before making our way down to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland.

Like most restaurants in Hong Kong, food is pretty decent (ie. quite good), so I did enjoy my breakfast. Nothing better than to start the day with a hearty breakfast, right?

 It's ADORABLE. Even the MTR line to Disneyland Resort incorporates Disney elements (and is more comfy than the usual MTRs)

HK Disneyland's newer attraction (since last year?), Toy Story Land!

Being someone who grew up with Toy Story, I loved how the design and layout incorporated so many aspects of the show. Some of the rides here do make HK Disneyland a bit more attractive to the youth  (with their slightly more thrilling rides), so I do think it's been a good decision that Disney decided to build this new attraction!

I forgot its name, but you HAVE TO take the ride here! 

 BALLOONS!

 Lunch! We were so hungry, everything tasted awesome. LOL.

 Tarzan's home

The Sleeping Beauty Castle

I swear, after visiting Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, This castle cannot compare to the grandioseness of the Cinderella Castle. Not complaining though. Disney Parks are my favourite places on Earth. 

I was in a dilemma while drafting the post. I had so many photos of Disneyland that I realised it would simply be INSANE if I included them all in one post. So, while this post features most of my time in Hong Kong Disneyland, my next post will feature the Flights of Fantasy parade.

Anyway, for some bizarre reason, the queues were really short (by Disney Parks standards), and we managed to take almost all the rides AND catch a couple of shows. 

Tip for Disney Park goers: Always try to find live performances in the Disney Park. We caught two live performances (with live singing), and were blown away by some of the talents of the performers! 

(Fine, I was ogling the guy who played Tarzan too)

I love Disney. It always reminds me of my childhood, and that dreams are wishes our heart makes.

and sometimes, all you need is Faith, Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust.
