We had a Hong Kong Disney adventure last weekend! It was great.
I had all these excursions planned to Hong Kong and Kowloon. We were going to see the giant Buddha, hit a sandy beach, go on the tram ride up Victoria peak, and do some shopping. INSTEAD, we took an extra long MTR trip to the hotel (Paul wanted to take the Taxi, but I thought the MTR would be easier). Ugh. Anyway, we stayed at the Hollywood Hotel and swam the first day. The second day was ALL disney. Hong Kong Disney is smaller than Disneyworld, which was perfect with two small children. We alternated between humid outdoor rides and air conditioned indoor shows. Both were great. The lion king show was an amazing song/dance performance (fire eaters included). The parade was also magnificent. Both kids held on to the end, we went back to the hotel, ate, napped and headed back to Disney for the fireworks.
See, Paul and Jessi are both amazed.
Sam was in top form again, dancing for the locals. Its funny. It was like travelling to LA from Seattle. We'll go again and do the peak tram and Kowloon Park. Maybe the Ocean Park and the Giant Buddha at the gorgeous monestary. This, though, was again, perfect.
