Overview
Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in 2005, is one of Hong Kong’s two major theme parks (the other being). Despite being the world’s smallest Disney theme park, Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, and Toy Story Land provide families with a full day of Disney fun.
How to get there
Hong Kong Disneyland is located on Lantau Island, not far from Hong Kong Airport, and is less than an hour’s drive from the city center. You can also arrange an airport transfer ride to ensure a smooth transition from the time you step out of the airport. Along with this you also need to know about the Hong Kong Disneyland park tickets for your best journey.
By MTR
The Disneyland Resort Line travels numerous times every day, every few minutes, from Sunny Bay Station to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (the unique Disney-themed trains are a terrific way to start the day!)
By Public Bus
Routes R33 and R42 run between Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Downtown Hong Kong during peak hours and after the ‘Disney in the Stars’ Fireworks show each night.
Take any A or E bus route to Lantau Link Toll Plaza, where you can change to Route R8, which travels frequently throughout the day to Hong Kong Disneyland.
By Taxi
The taxi fare from Hong Kong International Airport to Disneyland is approximately HK$145. You can simply mention Hong Kong Disneyland to the driver without providing the address.
Operating Hours
The hours of operation for Hong Kong Disneyland vary from day to day but are typically between 10:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Check the hours and parking for the most up-to-date information. Stay until the very end to see the ‘Disney in the Stars’ Fireworks Show, which begins daily at approximately 9:30 p.m. Arrive early for the concert and reserve a spot on Main Street, United States of America to ensure a good view!
Ideal Time to visit
As one of the country’s largest theme parks, Hong Kong Disneyland is bound to be crowded on any given day with both residents and foreigners. However, like with most theme parks across the world, the golden rule is to avoid going on weekends because that is when the locals go!
Although we cannot guarantee that weekdays will be less crowded, shorter lineups are more likely!Main Attractions in Disneyland
Tomorrowland
The Iron Man Experience and Ant-Man are just a few of Tomorrowland’s attractions. Hyperspace Mountain has the drops and violent turns that every roller coaster promises, but with a twist. Because this coaster is entirely indoors, guests will have no idea what to expect, making it all the more exhilarating!
The Iron Man Experience is a 3-D motion simulator attraction that is one of many Marvel-themed enhancements planned for Disneyland. Did we also mention that this is the world’s first Marvel-themed rollercoaster to be housed in Disneyland?
In Iron Man Experience, you can get a close look at Tony Stark’s latest inventions and even try your hand at flying in an Iron Wing flight vehicle. The Iron Man Experience also incorporates local elements, with passengers able to “fly” above Hong Kong’s prominent locations such as Tsing Ma Bridge, Victoria Harbour, and more!
Adventureland
Adventureland is home to the Lion King, Tarzan, and river cruises, and, if you haven’t guessed, it’s jungle-themed! Also, Jungle River Cruise is one of the most popular rides in the park and is a must-see even if you don’t like laid-back attractions!
The Jungle River Cruise will take you through the world’s biggest rivers, including Asia’s Mekong Delta, the Amazon, and others. Keep an eye out for cannibals and headhunters along the road! A Disneyland cast member will also lead the voyage, providing a hilarious and engaging narrative!Grizzly Gulch
Grizzly Gulch, Hong Kong Disneyland’s rendition of Frontierland, has a wild west theme, complete with 19th-century-style architecture, mining mountains, gold nuggets, and even a town jail!
Guests will also be greeted by their favourite Disney characters dressed in authentic wild Western-style outfits. The Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, where tourists can climb on board and twist and turn around the Grizzly Mountain, with surprises awaiting them along the way, are notable attractions in the land.
