Day 3 in Hong Kong

This morning, I wake up & Mummy gets me ready to go out. I wait for Daddy & Mummy to be ready & we are off to Disneyland. Once we reach Disneyland, Mummy & I go to Adventureland to get the Fast Pass for the Festival of the Lion King. Daddy looks around for breakfast. Breakfast is hotdogs & sandwiches. I share the sandwich with Daddy. After breakfast, we make our way to Fantasyland. Some pictures taken enroute there, with Sleeping Beauty Castle in the backdrop.

In Fantasyland, our 1st stop is Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride.

This is my Dumbo Flying Elephant video.

Next, we are off to....where else....but the Mad Hatter Teacup ride. On the way there, we see Alice in Wonderland with the Rabbit & the Queen. Daddy didn't realize there was a queue to take photo with them & unknowingly jumped the queue! Hence, Daddy & I got to take a photo with them without queueing.

After photo-taking, Daddy & I went to take the teacup ride. Mummy got into another teacup to take a picture of us & a video too.

When the teacup ride is over, we make our way to Tomorrowland to see if we could ride the Orbitron. But as the queue is too long, Mummy suggests taking a slow stroll over to Adventureland. I make noise to indicate that I am hungry. So Mummy feeds me my biscuit.

We reach Adventureland!


We make our way to the entrance for the Festival of the Lion King & wait there for the show to start.

After the Lion King, we take the Rafts to Tarzan's Treehouse, which is on an island. Pictures taken on the raft.


Mummy decided not to lug a sack of rice -ME- up Tarzan's Treehouse. So we just took some pictures of the treehouse & took the raft back to Adventureland.

Back at Adventureland, Mummy realizes it is time for lunch as we are going to Causeway Bay to meet Aunt Wylis for tea later. We have lunch at Plaza Inn -chinese food-. Then Mummy changes my diaper at the baby changing area -yes, there is one & only one baby changing area in Disneyland-, then we are off to catch the MTR to Causeway Bay.

Dinner At Tsing Yi City

We reach the hotel & get Daddy's sweater. It is then time to head out for dinner!

Mummy checks to make sure that I have enough clothing, & we are off with me in my pram.


We take the shuttle bus back to Disneyland MTR station. Then from there, we take the MTR to Sunnybay station. Then from there we change train lines to take the MTR to Tsing Yi station. Daddy takes some pictures of my 1st MTR ride.


At Tsing Yi station, we make our way to Tsing Yi City. It is a shopping mall with basement up to level 3. As it is just after Christmas, there are still Christmas decorations on the ground floor. We make our way to the basement where there are lots of restaurants. Mummy wants to eat at Spagetti House. We make our way there & find that there is a queue! We queued for 20 minutes & finally get a table. Daddy orders a spagetti bolognaise, while Mummy orders the seafood angel hair pasta with lobster sauce. While waiting for the food to arrive, I play with cutlery set.



I share Mummy's yummy angel hair pasta & fill up my little tummy. After dinner, we walk around Tsing Yi City & finally head up to the 3rd floor supermarket. While there, Mummy takes some pictures of the Christmas decorations.


We head back to the Tsing Yi MTR station & take the MTR back to the hotel. Back at the room, Mummy prepares me for bathing & notices that my bottom left tooth from the center is out. This means I have 9 teeth. After this amazing discovery, Mummy quickly bathes me & puts me to bed. And that's the end of my 2nd day in Hong Kong.

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!
