Hong Kong Day2 Night 2

Hong Kong Disneyland was our first destination. Took the MTR(no i didnt make a mistake..its not MRT) from Tsim Sha Tsui to Sunny Bay station which was touted to be the most futuristic station but there nothing special AT ALL!! maybe thats what the future is about..then from there changed to the Disneyland Resort line which takes us directly to the Magical place.



The train is very cute and special lor..mickey mouse train..ahaha. The windows are Mickey shaped as well the the handles(i forgot the name..the thing you hold on to when you standing in the train). Then for small statues of disney character all in the trains also. Good idea lah the train. When you reach they will say "Have a Magical Day".

Then we reached the place and went on the buy the tickets..HK$295..about S$60. Not cheap. But fortunately, it was all worth it! Went in and pleasant disney music greeted us! the atmosphere was great. Took many pictures.


Just like Grumpy Donald


Honey and Me!


"HERE YOU LEAVE TODAY AND ENTER THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY, TOMORROW AND FANTASY"

First we saw a marching band parading and playing disney music...very nice..they got move in formation and stop at some points to do some change of formation and play some special tunes before moving on. Den we met tigger! haha..queued to get our pictures taken with him!


Then we went to TomorrowLand and AdventurLand. TomorrowLand is mainly rides and all. But as we wanna catch a show in AdventureLand, we went ahead to there first. It was the home to Tarzan..rivers, forests, treehouse, and all..got tribal people dancing also. We queued early for the show. Right choice! FULL HOUSE and its just a weekday. Managed to get good seats..3rd row in front. Its a Lion King show. It was damn impressive lah! The actors dancers play stunts and props were World Class. Simba and his girlfriend, scar and many other characters. There was also giant props of cliffs, lion, giraffe etc..the show was very well done man. Impressed to the Max.


Giant Characters and Floats


Tarzan's TreeHouse Tribal Dancing!!

After the show we went on to catch another show in FantasyLand which houses all the Mickey and Pooh thingys. Anyways..we went to queue for the show and we thought we were early..but when we got to the door..WOW..i think about 1 million people there already. But nonetheless..we manage to go in but not so good seat..first row by the side..couldnt see the stage very clearly. By the way the show was called "the Golden Mickeys"..trying to imitate golden globes lidat..something like an award show..in this case..got a host..which pratically shows up in every other scenes thats gonna be put up later in the show. Then at first they show like stars walking into the place on big screens..you know..the atmosphere of big award presentation shows. Then Mickey and goofy and donald etc..all walked in.

Then they talked and then finally the introduced the nominees for the 1st award..which is i think the most brave or best hero thingy...then the nominees(the hunchback of notre something, mulan, tarzan,incredibles, etc) came out and each perform a scene relating to their respective cartoons. Very interesting and nice.
Lilo and Stitch!
Tarzan is damn macho and came swinging in. Mulan fight some soldiers. Then the next award is most romantic i think..got mermaid, cinderella etc. Den still got toy story oso...Toy Story
many cartoons lah..in the end you don't really care wat award thing or wat nominees thingy..you just enjoy the wonderful play the put up..very impressive also..very quick change of backdrop..frm castle to forest to sea etc...In the end everyone came in and dance a finale with mickey and co. very very nice.
Cinderella on Far Left!

Then we went out and began hunting for all the characters to take pictures with! I mangaed to get Minnie, mickey and pooh. The queues were really long and the character goes to toilet from time to time..haha..they are very cute!! They are really professional minnie and mickeys man..very very cute one..you'll fall in love with them(i cant believe i'm saying this man..i'm not really fond of them at first one k)
Mickey and Me!! Cute!!

Then we went to this Starliner Diner to eat which was in TomorrowLand. Bought burgers and fries..not very nice though..and ex! (stop saying wat "you should expect this at this kind of place" kind of things..so wat..its still ex k!) Then we went to the souvenir shops to get some stuffs..bought a t shirt and some stuffs..my gf too. Then at this time..a parade passed by..a big scale one k..all the characters got a float and was on it and paraded around the whole place..very interesting to watch.

In the end we didnt manage to do a lot of things....all the rides especially! All of them looks very interesting man..too bad! and got night show oso! fireworks and all i think.. argghh..wanna try all those if got another chance.

Can;t help but take a few more shots before i left


ok..thats all for our day..we went back to Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok to try to find those famous streets that you always see on TV. haha..


But before that, we went to the Avenue of stars. Xing Guang Da Dao..built to commemorate HK's achievements in the movie industry. Its really nothing one lor! Got a show called Symphoney of Lights. Where looking across the bay..you can see many tall building..like their CBD lidat..then the builing got lasers lights..and light all over the building lah...then there will be music and the lights are suppose to dance to the music..but f**k lah...its really messy and the music sucks..lousy!


Then we managed to find Temple street, Ladies Street, Sportswear st. walk a bit only cause too late( why? cause took too much time to find the places..not lost k! just took a longer time)..most starting to close already. haha



Temple st not called for nothing k..its just behind this temple!
