Hey,
Need your advice. If I am arriving there on a evening and staying in Disneyland itself for 2 nights, do you think I should then purchase the tickets for the next day instead of the arrival date ? Then I will have the next day and the following day (check out of hotel) to play in Disneyland
Does anyone know about Royal Plaza in Mongkok ? Is that a good family hotel ?

Hi Encounter85,
The park closes at 7.00 pm with the shops at about 8 pm. Do note also it is more crowded on Sat/Sun. If you are staying at Disneyland, and the promo of 1 day ticket for 2 days at Disney is still on, utilise it. We went on all rides (3-5x for those we enjoyed)and shows, except the roller coaster due to height. Go into Disney early before opening to have breakfast, the Disney characters will come mingle with you and take pictures. If you are on time, may also catch the parade of characters coming out. Do also plan yr dinner at the park before returning to the Disney hotel as there is no room service only some cafes. Enjoy yr trip!

Encounter85,
u can purchase the tix on arrival at your hotel reception, and utilize it the next day and then next next day (must be consecutive 2 days). not sure if this promo is valid for the weekends though. check the disneyland hk website for furhter details.
einstein,
really depends on your budget and criteria (gotta balance quality-location-space with budget).
to stay comfortably, you would need a more spacious room (which HK hotels are notorious for having small space). disneyland hotels have 2 queen beds so will fit you four nicely - but go during weekdays more economical.

Thanks for all the advice.
wow, seems many mommies going to HK ah.
if u plan to go disneyland, then stay 1-2N there which u can get 30% off with value annual pass (for weekday stay Mon-Thu). plus they have 2 queen size beds in a room (which you can hardly find in any hotels in HK) so can sleepe 3A+1C comfortably.
otherwise, in HK, find those hotels that have family room (i.e. have 3 single beds). for those with proper 3 single beds (rather than an extra rollaway bed), perhaps you can put 2 single beds together and sleep 2A+1C.

carole,
both hotels are practically at the doorstep of disneyland (you can check the hotel locations on the disneyland HK website).
the diff is that disneyland hotel is priced as higher grade (5 star vs 4) hence more expensive then disney.
check out the hotel reviews here (fyi, this is a good forum to check hotel reviews):

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g294217-d583733-Reviews-Disney_s_Hollywood_Hotel-Hong_Kong.html
think hollywood is good enough unless u dun mind spending (frankly i prefer hollywood room decor which is more modern).
btw, anyone know if taka or robinsons having 20% sale on Pigeon as i wanna get the baby food packs for travelling?

you can try langham place hotel , they have a kowloon triple and quad rooms. Go to their website to book and can even opt for an early bird 10% discount( book 30days before and if want to cancel must do so 14 days before to avoid 1N hotel penalty)
BTW, anyone knows what the weather will be roughly like in december 2nd week onwards....seems like it is either autumn or winter.
Also i heard from my friends that the disneyland parade is at 3pm and the fireworks is at 7pm

ino,
yes, both hotels have 2 queen size beds in their rooms (call it the twin or doubl beds room). if u wanna save money and dun mind squeezing a bit, 4 of you can take the room as you can request for bb cot (provided your bb can sleep in the cot cos mine needs to sleep with me on the bed)...but i'm not sure if the hotel will strictly enforced the 4 pax (incl bb) to a room..

Hi working mom,
Am gg HK next week, wonder if it's necessary to buy ticket on line if i go during weekday ? Will there be long queues at the ticket counter on weekday?
Hi Carole,
Can try booking hotel thru Jetabout. I'll be staying at Prince Hotel at TST. Have booked thru Jetabout holidays at the rate of S$222. They're giving me a room with 2 double bed with a baby cot. Juz nice for 5 of us.

hi dtyg,
if you mean the park visit tix for a day, i doubt you need to buy online esp for weekdays (and it is not a public holiday or the dec school holiday period). u can just get it there at the entrance...
fyi, a double queen bed room at disneyland hotel works out to less then S$180/night (30% discount - only for Mon-Thu booking if you get the Value annual pass) if you get one annual pass to book the room....

Working Mom or anyone else,
I will be staying at Ashley Apartments at Tst this mid dec. Want to go Tung Chung Factory Outlet from TST? If you did go there, how did you travel there? Should I be using the Airport Express ticket? Or normal ticket since the Tung Chung station is not an Airport Express station? TIA!
Also can anyone advise how (cost and time-effective) to get to TST from airport at 930pm for 2 adults and 1 2y/o boy? Wondering if I shld take airport express to kowloon and then take a taxi or just take a taxi straight from the airport. Will be quite expensive for the latter option, right? TIA.

just got back from macau + HK disneyland.
the air pollution (+smoking environment in macau) quite bad a few of us got cough and running nose when we came back....
prettycloud,
to go Tung Chung Citygate outlet mall, you can take the MTR train (on the Tung chung line). if u take the airport express, you will need to change to MTR train at Tsing Yi.
i think for the night, you might as well take the taxi straight to the hotel as you would be tired and dun wanna have to lug luggage to train and then catch a cab still...would be about the same time (as should be better traffic at night), cost might be just slightly more (i think cab to kowloon is prob HK$200+)

Thanks for the pointers, Suelee.
suelee,
Is it getting cold now? Wondering , cos will be there next week and as disneyland is in the open, wonder how warmly i must dress my kids?
Did you manage to get rent a stroller at disneyland hotel?
Is tung chung citygate outlet worth going? Cos someone said that now there are christmas sale is normal shops as well

it's only colder (10+'C) at night but a warm fleece jacket and long pants would do. daytime when the sun is out (quite harsh so bring a hat/sunglass) is actually fairly warm still.
yep, rent the stroller for HK50/day. but both my kids wanna be carried so it became our bags trolley instead.
yep, if u haven't been to Citygate mall it's worth going for just a few hours (esp if you are staying at disneyland). u can take the train there (only 2 stops away about HK15/pax one way), and a cab back with your purchase (about HK$100). i didn't shop in HK island as no time so dun know if there are any x'mas sale going on....

the chef mickey breakfast no biggie (we were too full to eat too much)...but since u can get 30% off with advance booking as hotel guests, you can book for one morning breakfast. best to eat at the park where there are more options/variety and ala carte menu. unless u are a big eater, a buffet is quite a waste (and quality was not to my expectations).
we didn't do any character breakfast as the characters will have appearance at our hotel lobby (check their timing) and at the park - though need to Q up 15-30 min just to take a pic with them. we managed to take pics with goofy and pluto. chip and dale, mickey and minnie are very popular characters.
if you intend to spend some time at citygate mall, you can have your lunch/dinner at the food court there. also, the mall has a big supermarket so you can buy some stuff there (e..g extra diapers, fruits, bread, etc) if you need....

u can get the events time schedule at the hotel or park (or even at their website). fireworks is at 8pm. u can see it at the pack in front of the castle, or even at the hotels itself (if u dun wanna rush with the crowd back)....
dinner can be at hotels or park (but close at 8pm)...

yep, we got 2 annual pass since we need to book 2 rooms, but the rest of the group got the day tix which means they can only go in 2 days consecutively (i.e. we went in during day 2 and 3 of our stay)...did u buy one annual pass? because then u can get 30% off your room rates which is very worth it esp since u are staying 2 nights...
go to the disneyland park website and you can see they have quite a few cafe and restaurants inside the park...we had one lunch and one dinner there

do visit citygate outlet mall at tung chung...just 2 MTR stops away from disneyland park
disneyland park has 1 chinese restaurant that is not bad as we had dinner there (the Q can get very long if u go after 6.30pm) - think it's plaza inn or next to plaza inn.
u can spent a little time to explore around the hotel...i heard they have a nice big swimming pool with slides for kids....unfortunately we didn't have the time....
