The Beautiful Fireworks Display in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle

My family loves watching fireworks displays. So the second time we visited Hong Kong Disneyland, we made sure that we wouldn’t miss the fireworks display that takes place every night before the park closes.

It was a bit tough for my middle aged parents to stay the whole day in a theme park. Most of the time, we would find some restaurants and buy some overpriced snacks to let my parents unwind for a while. We had spent more than HK$800 just on food. What sucks is that the foods aren’t very palatable to us.

Anyway, before the clock stroke 9, we hurried to the sleeping beauty castle and found a nice spot in front of it. The castle was very pretty. Its color changes – from green to red, from red to yellow, and from yellow to green again. I would catch myself taking pictures of the castle again and again. I fell in love with it!

The fireworks display was jaw-dropping. I haven’t seen the fireworks in other Disneylands so I have nothing to compare it with. But I am very pleased with it! I took some pictures of the castle during the fireworks. Hope you like it!

Going to Hong Kong Disneyland for the Second Time!

Our travel agent told us that a lot of Filipino tourists will be flocking to Hong Kong this year. We got lucky for booking our tickets early. Plane tickets are fully booked weeks earlier.

We visit Hong Kong every Christmas. So what’s special this year? We’re going to Disneyland for the second time! It’s Hong Kong Disneyland’s fifth year anniversary. Plus, a new area has been opened to the public – the Toy Story Land! The new “land” offers new attractions, new merchandises, and new food items. Being a huge Toy Story fan, I can’t wait to see the park.

Since Hong Kong will be expecting lots of tourist, it’s important to buy your Disney tickets as early as possible. There are two types of tickets:

1. Standard Day Tickets – You can go to the park on any day within six months upon purchase.
2. Designated Day Tickets – You can go to the park only on the designated date stamped at the back of the ticket.

With the Designated Day Tickets, you automatically have a reserved admission to the park on the selected date. On the other hand, with the Standard Day Tickets, you cannot go into the park once it has reached its full capacity. The park can only hold around 34,000 guests. Both tickets cost the same.

Check the ticket prices on HK Disneyland’s official website.

On a side note, I’ve liked to share a great tip from the Anderson show: The best time to buy plane tickets is on a Wednesday on 1 am (U.S. Time).:)
