My 1st Day & 1st Visit to Hong Kong Disneyland

Outside Disneyland, we take some pictures at the welcome archway as well as the fountain, before heading into Disneyland itself.





Then it is onto the Disney theme park. We have to stop outside & get all our bags checked before proceeding through the gantry into the park. After heading into the theme park, Daddy & Mummy grab some maps & a time guide on the show times. Mummy decides to catch the 11.30am Golden Mickey Show. On the way there, we pass by Main Street & I help to navigate by looking at the map too. We stop in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle to take some pictures.

After taking the pictures, it is off to the auditorium to watch the Golden Mickey Show. We settle ourselves into the comfortable seats, & soon the show begins.

After the exciting show is over, our 1st stop is the Mad Hatter Tea Cups ride in Fantasyland. We queue for about 5 minutes & get on the tea cups pretty quickly.

After this, it is off to the Cinderella Carousel ride. Mummy & I queue for about another 5 minutes. Then Mummy puts me on a white horse before climbing up behind me herself. I ride the carousel together with Mummy.

After the carousel ride, Mummy gets a fast pass for the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride. Then we head to Royal Banquet Hall for lunch. Although the name of the place is impressive, but it is actually a food court! My lunch is ramen with pork bone soup & sliced pork, shared with Mummy. Halfway through lunch, I am very tired with the day's activities & take a nap in my pram. I find out later that after lunch, Mummy took the opportunity to shop while I am sleeping. Mummy utilized the package service to have all her shopping sent back to the hotel. I woke up in time to utilize the fast pass that Mummy got for the Winnie the Pooh ride. So off we go.


As we have the fast pass, we queue for less than 5 minutes & manage to get on the hunny pot to take a ride through the hundred acre wood.

After the Winnie the Pooh ride, we are just in time to catch the 3pm Disney parade. We plant ourselves in an ideal spot to catch the parade.


The balloon sellers take the opportunity to sell their balloons to a captive audience.

Finally the parade starts. Here are 2 videos taken by Mummy of the parade.


After the parade, we take some pictures at the Snow White Grotto.


After that, Mummy wanted to bring me to the Dumbo The Flying Elephant ride. But as the queue is too long, we ended up taking some pictures at the stationary Dumbo.

Then we head to the Fantasyland Train Station & take a train ride around Disneyland.

After the train ride, Mummy stops by at a souvenir stand to buy some Disney souvenirs. I amuse myself by playing with & hugging Mickey Mouse.



To infinity & beyond! Yes, it is Buzz Lightyear, we are off to the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride at Tomorrowland. I ride with Mummy while Daddy rode in front of us to take pictures & video of us.

After the ride is over, I help Mummy to read the Disneyland map.

I get tired of reading the map and decide to explore Tomorrowland.



It is time to call it a day as Daddy & Mummy want to go outside of Disneyland & Disneyland Hotel to have dinner. Hence, we make our way out of Disneyland. As Daddy did not bring his sweater along & it was getting colder in the evening, we have to make our way back to the hotel 1st. On the way out of Disneyland, I get distracted by my surroundings.




It took a while for Daddy & Mummy to get me to leave Disneyland. But we finally got onto the shuttle bus & made our way back to the hotel. That's the end of my 1st day at Disneyland!
