Jerlene and Javier had been looking forward to this day where we visited Hong Kong Disneyland for a third time this year. Since we were here in May, they had been asking me when we can come back again. I had originally promised to come back in Oct but due to my work commitment, I postpone it till now. Anyway, the kids had been quite understanding and had waited patiently for this day to come. Jerlene was fully prepared for this trip. Early in the morning, she started changing into her favourite white dress and putting on her princess crown. She even made a princess wand to match her princess outfit back in Singapore before the trip.
As we did not stay in Disney hotel during this trip, we took MTR, which is just two stops away, from Tung Chung. They were excited to see that the train is different from the norm. The train window is of the shape of Mickey and throughout the cabin, there are statues of different Disney characters.
As we entered the park, Jerlene and Javier started leading the way. Ever since the last trip, they had been talking about the Slinky Dog ride in Toy Story Land. So that's where they were leading us to but along the way, we went for some rides whereby the queue was not long.
We took the carousel ride for the first time. We did not take this ride previously because the queue was terrible that time. This time we only had to queue for about 15mins.
Another attraction that Javier kept talking about is the Donald's Fantasy 4D show. Everytime Donald appears on the screen, he will start laughing......so funny meh?!? :-P
Finally we reached the queue of Slinky Dog ride. Throughout the whole day, we took this ride at least three times. Next to Toy Story Land is a newly open zone called the Mystic Point. There is a Garden of Wonders (below) where ancient sculptures and paintings create unbelievable 3D illusions.
And the one and only ride within this zone is inside the below Mystic Manor.
This manor is occupied by Lord Henry Mystic, who had traveled around the world with Albert, his monkey companion. His collection of fine arts and antiquities, acquired during his travel, are housed within Mystic Manor. We will be riding on his latest invention, "Mystic Magneto-Electric Carriage", that goes round the manor to have a close look at his collection.
Throughout the ride, there are many multimedia display which are amazing. This ride is very different from any other rides. Those who had not tried should go experience it yourself. It's worth it. :-)
We managed to catch the Disney parade this time. However, we can only watch from afar as we were unable to squeezed through the crowd.
After the parade, the Golden Mickey stage show was about to start. We did not manage to watch this show the last time as well. Jerlene loves the show as there were many familiar Disney characters on stage but Javier was too tired by then and fell asleep half way through.
After the show, we went to Tomorrow Land where we meet up with the mischievous Stitch. We sat in the front row and Jerlene was the lucky one who got selected to talk to the interactive Stitch. It was fun and I think it will be an unforgettable experience for her.
In the evening, we went back to Mystic Manor to take the Carriage ride again before queuing for Slinky Dog ride for one last time today.
As usual, the finale is of course the fireworks. Today is really the highlight of this trip where the children enjoyed the most. We will be BACK! :-)
