Yao Liang & Hui Sin's Footsteps

Disneyland, Hong Kong

Wednesday 12 July 2006

We went to Hong Kong Disney land on the second day. Even though a lot of people including my dAr says that the Disneyland in Hong Kong is not as good as the ones in the US, I still look forward to it very much as this is the first time that I am going to a Disneyland. Yup, I did enjoy myself very much.

The journey there is already an eye-opener already. The train stations are so beautifully designed that they don't resemble anything boring like Singapore's MRT stations. (But I admit that they are trying to change, that's why we have the more interesting ones like Expo and Changi) Being someone who likes observing buildings, i enjoy it. Other then that, another interesting thing is the placement of barriers at the platform edge to prevent people from falling onto the tracks. Singapore should adopt this idea too.

The train to Disneyland is also amazing. They are so beautifully designed to the theme. As in the cover photo, me and dAr is in front of a mickey- shaped.. guess what? A window!!! Even the handle is mickey-shaped and they have couches instead of normal MTR seats.

Disneyland Hong Kong is really nice. I think they are the nicest place. (Ok not until I've been to Disneyland Tokyo or USA) The buildings there are so intrinsic and delicately designed. Loved every bit of it. We were lucky to be there on time for the parade of music and dance which goes around the whole parade square. Shutter happy again, we took a lot of photos!

After that we took the tram to the other location and we stopped by one of the 4D magix show where other than 3D view with super cool glasses, we are treated with the additional 'D' of senses. It's a really good 4D show and after that we helped ourselves to all the soft toys at the exit shop.

The next stop is an adventure boat ride which is cool with a lot of visual and sound effects. Its interesting that we can queue up for the different languages.

After the boat ride we went on another free shopping and photo- taking spree at the so many shops that line the main streets. Everything there is pretty. Felt like buying everything home. Me and dAr bought a lot of things from there too, including her carriage and my Must Have keychain to add to my collection.

All disneyland always have their fireworks at night at around 8.00pm sharp and we decided to wait near the Main Castle. As we still have some time until 8.00pm, we decided to explore Tomorrowland which we did not in the day. We decided to try a ride together and dAr suggested trying some 'harmless' ride and so we went in. But it turns out to be a indoor rollercoaster which is really scary for me and everyone else. But its so memorable for me and I think for dAr cos' she thought its something harmless.

Fireworks!!! the moment to remember too even though i don't have photos as my camera couldn't capture them. But I do have the videos so do check them out!!
