Hong Kong - Disneyland

Today we went to Disneyland Hong Kong. First ride Space Mountain. Now I had heard about this ride so I had a bit of trepidation about going on it however it was one of the tamer roller-coaster rides I have been on. The one at Hong Kong Ocean World on the cliff face years ago was far more scary, this one is just fast.




Next stop we did the the boat cruise through 'it's a small world' then onto the Mickey Mouse 3D show which was very, very good.  Next stop the Jungle River Cruise which really did feel like you were in a jungle as it started to rain and got very, very humid. I felt like I was on the African Queen. This ride was also done very, very well and most of the animals look real.


From here we went to Grizzly Gulch and went on the Mountain Runaway Cars. This ride was excellent much better than space mountain, even went backwards before it accelerated really fast making a great ride. Next onto Toy Story but the rides here did not take our fancy so we headed to Mystic Point and did the Mystic Manor ride which wasn't a fast or scary ride but the effects were done very well.


We decided to go back and do the Mountain  Runaway Car and Space Mountain rides again before having some lunch and heading back to the hotel for a swim in the pool. Disneyland Hong Kong is ok and we enjoyed everything we did. A couple of ridse were closed for remodeling but the biggest disappointment was there were none of the main characters roaming around for photos or street shows like at other theme parks. The only way to get a photo with Mickey Mouse was to wait in a huge line. Nether the less I can now say at 51 I have finally been to Disneyland.


We took the hotel shuttle to the Peninsular for dinner and had a wonder around the streets before Donna, Mark and I walk back to the hotel along the promenade, Noel took the bus.

Tomorrow we spend our last day in Hong Kong relaxing around the pool before our flight home at 7pm arriving home around 5.30am and home to the boys.

Until next holiday signing off.
