Frozen. There’s no denying it has shown once again that Disney can take a story and turn it into something simply magic. It has created yet more fabulous characters just waiting to be piped in buttercream. I was beyond excited when I got a request to create Olaf in buttercream. Olaf is probably the easiest … 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 moon is full and bright in the Hong Kong night sky. Summer heat and humidity might still be dominating the Hong Kong weather but it can’t stop people from celebrating as moon cakes appear everywhere and lanterns bring colour to the night. Victoria Park is one of the main hubs for Mid Autumn Festival … Continue reading

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”. Hong Kong Disneyland has been really slow off the mark getting their merchandising for Frozen on sale but FINALLY now summer is here there are dolls in the shops and … Continue reading
Geek mum that I am I’ve never been brave enough to venture to the annual Ani-Com-Games Convention (Ani-Com as I call it) also known locally as the ACGHK. Crowds snake for hours waiting to get into the event for the opportunity to pick up rare figurines and other uniquely interesting knick-knacks and I’ve always dreaded the … Continue reading
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
Nothing like a newly opened Trampoline Park on Hong Kong Island to teach me how inept my camera (or maybe more accurately my photographic ability) is… Ryze is the latest kiddy (and mummy/daddy) sensation to open its doors right down the road from us in Quarry Bay. It’s wall to wall trampolines in a large … Continue reading
Typhoon season has finally hit Hong Kong and I’m probably one of the few crazy people here who gets excited by the prospect of one of these storms blowing in close. Rammasun was our first close typhoon, although not quite close enough to shut the city down. Out and about, a deluge of rain bucketed … Continue reading
