HK Sojourn Day 3: Finding Mickey

Since Patrick and Elisha were both off to work that Monday, it was up to me, Cassey, and Jhun to figure out how on earth are we gonna get to Disneyland Resort. Mind you, we were all first-timers! Luckily, we made it in one piece, thanks to some useful instructions from Tita Minda before we left the house.

After purchasing our park tickets, we immediately got busy with lots of photo ops beginning at the entrance all the way to Main Street, where most of the souvenir shops were located. Following Main Street, our trio was off to Fantasyland and, at this point, I was about to commit one serious offense in photography – I didn’t charge my camera battery that night thinking the battery would last the entire day at the theme park. Well, you can only guess what’s bound to happen next. With all the posing and clicking, my camera eventually gave out by the time we were exploring Tarzan’s Tree House in Adventureland. Jhun’s camera died out as well, and the last one standing was Cassey’s ever-reliable pink digital camera. Oh, the tragedy of the dying battery!

Now what can I say about Hong Kong Disneyland? I’m a bit disappointed, actually. I was actually seeking out more thrilling and daredevil rides (Save, maybe, for the Space Mountain ride in Tomorrowland.), plus the fact that there were no shows nor a parade somehow made the experience a bit less jovial. The fireworks display was a bit of a consolation toward the end, though. And yes, the MTR Disneyland Resort Line was one fun experience as well – very Mickey Mouse-y!

(Thanks to Cassey for the fun pics) When you wish upon a star...

At this point, I only had enough HKD for the Macau trip the next day. You think it will get me through until our departure back to Clark?
