I know in the future they will expand, but for now, it seems awfully small. I got there at 10 AM, and people were leaving at 1:30, right after the parade. There just aren't enough rides/attractions open yet... and some of the real classic attractions are missing: no piraes of the caribbean, no Mr. Toad, etc., etc. It's a Small World will be opening soon... I hope they dug the water channel deep enough to accomodate all the overweight people who were making the rides in the U.S. get stuck.

The food choices were acceptable, mostly fast food, and not too expensive. Bottled water, however, was VERY expensive. The parade was pretty good. The staff were friendly, public transportation to get there is easy and fast. It's in a beautiful setting with mountains nearby.

Admission was pretty expensive, and there just aren't enough attractions open yet to justify the price. If you have a week in Hong Kong, you might want to go... if you're there for a short stay, I would probably pass on Disneyland.

i was there in November 2006, and is the perfect place for the young children, sadly it is smaller than the other Disneys, however there is room to expand later if needed, the whole experiance is enhanced with its own train full of Disney charecte figurarines and trade mark Mickey mouse windows, very comfortable not like the packed London underground.

Be warned however having a ticket does not guarentee entry, especially the Chineese New Year, where they have to close the gates so safety reasons, a tip passed to me by friends in Hong Kong.

still there is everything you come to expect from Disney with the higher prices than you would find outside in the Markets of Hong Kong

No, this isn't the biggest and most spectacular Disneyland park, but our children thought it was the best place on Earth!! Granted, they are only 2 and 4 years of age, but still... Their little faces were just full of wonder and delight.

We were extremely lucky that there were no queues when we visited, and our children were often the only ones on the rides, and got to spend alot of time with Micky, Minnie etc...

The staff were extremely friendly and very generous when handing out the stickers to the children. It's been nearly 3 months since our visit and our children still have a huge stash of Disney stickers.

The parks facilities are great and it's also spotlessly clean... It was a fantastic day out.

Experience all the fantasies that you have ever imagined in Disneyland! Disneyland Hong Kong consist of Adventure land, Fantasy land and Tomorrow Land. However, i spent most of the time in Fantasy Land. I arrived there at 11 am and only departed after the fireworks show at 9 pm. I am indeed fortunate to be there during Christmas Season as the decorations there were splendid.

I spent the whole afternoon watching various shows presented by the Walt Disney animation . The shows were fabulous! 'Let it Snow' parade was fine to me. The climax of the day was the firework presentation! It's beautifel;p

Having been numerous times to other Disney parks in Paris, Orlando and Anaheim, I didn’t hesitate to add Hong Kong to the list. If you go knowing in advance that this is a much smaller park, then you shouldn’t be disappointed. We found it a beautiful park, and we had a super day there.

Unlike other Disney parks, there’s no need to be there especially early, so we casually made our way from Kowloon by MTR, which includes a changes before getting on Disney’s very own train from Sunny Bay station. The detail in the train alone is worth seeing. We arrived not long after midday, and bought tickets there and then without having to queue.

We went on a midweek day at the end of November, and were pleasantly surprised by the number of people there. It was quiet enough to get on most rides without much of a wait, but busy enough to have a great atmosphere. The Christmas festivities that were in full swing may have added to the attendance.

The park was spotlessly clean, and all the staff were very friendly, chatty and smiling – just like you always want to find at Disney. We first went over to Adventureland, and across the raft to Tarzan’s Treehouse, which was as good as other parks. Next, we went on the Jungle Cruise (offered in three languages, including English) which has a great surprise at the end. This is a really neat version of the old classic ride.

We then headed over to Fantasyland to see the 3D Philharmagic show – having only seen this in Orlando a few years ago, I was delighted to see this superb attraction attain. We then got a fastpass ticket (not that any were needed throughout the day) for Space Mountain before heading to see the 2pm showing of Festival of the Lion King. The show seemed similar, from my memory, to that in The Animal Kingdom, and it is amazing – personally, I think it’s worth the entrance fee alone. IMHO, this is one of the best short, live, shows that I’ve seen at any of the Disney parks over nearly 20 years of going!

The parade had a Christmas ‘makeover’ and was excellent. Every performer was so professional and kept their smiles going throughout.

After that we went onto Space Mountain (as good as ever), Winnie the Pooh (good fun for the young at heart and similar to that in Anaheim, I think) and a round trip on the Disney Railroad.

Mid-afternoon we wanted something to eat, and went to the Royal Banquet Hall. We were astonished at the value of the food here at the park. For just HK$50 (approx £3.50/$7) we had a bowl of mushroom soup followed by a plate of bratwurst sausage, fries and vegetables. I really think food like this would have been double the price, or more, at Paris or the American parks.

We went to see the 5pm showing of Golden Mickeys – a live, broadway-like musical performance. Again, this was very well done, although not as impressive as the Lion King show, to me. We then walked down towards Main Street, where the parade was going again, and was delighted to see it ‘snowing’ all down the street – a great touch.

We finally headed over to Tomorrowland again, to do Buzz Lightyear and my first ever go on an Autopia (I’ve always found other things I’d rather do in the other parks, but since there’s less choice here, we thought we’d give it a go, and it was really rather fun, and extremely well designed). After that, there was just time for another walk down Main Street, to buy some gifts and souvenirs, and a quick look round The Disneyland Story before ending the day watching a super fireworks show that is on each evening throughout the year – a great end to the day.

As I said at the start, the park is small at the moment. Many of the ‘usual’ great Disneyland attractions are not here yet, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a wonderful day. There are other attractions in the park that we didn’t go on, and noticeably plenty of photo opportunities for the youngsters with lots of Disney characters throughout the day.

We paid just HK$295 (approx £18.50/$37) for the one-day ticket – which is considerably less than the Paris and American parks. As well as the food and snacks, we also found the gifts and souvenirs to be markedly cheaper. So even though there’s ‘less to do’ you really do get a great day out for your money.
