Christmas is a magical time of year and a great excuse to venture out to the Hong Kong house of mouse aka Hong Kong Disneyland. Unfortunately Hong Kong Disneyland doesn’t seem to embrace the festive season like the American Disney’s. There is less and less happening out there as each year passes. This year Main … Continue reading
The new night parade at Disney has been going for a few weeks now so we thought it was high time to head back out and see how it is fairing. Despite a downturn in crowds as mainland visitors stay away (which co-incidentally makes the park a joy to visit with short queue times), the parade … Continue reading
Disney has a new night time parade premiering October 1st 2014. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at the parade during one of the Magic Access Appreciation Nights last week. It’s called Paint the Night and as you’d imagine it’s full of fun, lights and LCD screens. Visually it is simply stunning. … Continue reading
The Iron Man Experience is well and truly under construction, having blocked off a whole corner of Tomorrowland from the Buzz Lightyear ride all the way over to the entry of Autopia.

Frozen. It’s gotta be the biggest Disney success in a long, long time. Bethany is STILL belting out the songs unable to “let it go”.

Hidden in an obscure little area of Hong Kong Disneyland between Adventureland and Grizzly Gulch is a small, simplistic but fun little display for the new Disney movie Planes Fire & Rescue (coming out in Hong Kong sometime in August). On display are Dusty Crophopper, the hero of the original Planes movie and Blade Ranger … Continue reading

With fantastic music and inspiration to borrow from their animated movies the evening firework display “Disney in the Stars” is well worth hanging around for. Even after over 5 years of visits to Disneyland and sitting through the fireworks show countless times, my … Continue reading
You knew this post was coming. It’s Chinese New Year. It’s time to venture out to Hong Kong Disneyland and join in the festivities with Mickey and the gang. It’s a sky high celebration. So C’mon, c’mon, c’mon… take a flight of imagination, so c’mon, c’mon, c’mon … Ok – so maybe I’ve been to … Continue reading
Once upon a time in 2008, Bethany met Stitch for the first time at Hong Kong Disneyland … He doesn’t come out often these days for photos, however yesterday (over 5 years later) we were in luck … Isn’t it funny how some things (ie my sprogs) change, and some things … well at least … Continue reading
Recently I have had a few people ask me what we are going to do when Shanghai Disney Resort opens. This question is often followed by the comment “Hong Kong Disneyland will have to close because it won’t have visitors anymore.”. I’m a little shocked by the totalitarian view that this region of Asia can … Continue reading
