Worry mum,
we went on our own le.... transportation wise, Disneyland is near to airport; followed by Kowloon and then Hong Kong Island.
We went there by cab from Kowloon.
But you can get Hotellink's Shutter bus service to Disneyland's Hollywood hotel/other Disneyland hotel.
Alternatively is to take cab (think ard 120~150; it is around 15 minutes) or take train if u re not having lots of luggage.

Hi miao
Yes, the hotel is located at mongkok. You can take a look at their website at http://www.langhamplace.com.hk.
I am also going during the vesak holidays. We'll be staying at Novotel Nathan located at Jordan (few mins away from Jordan MTR). This is a brand new hotel which has just opened in March 2008. The hotel is also near ladies market and temple street.
You can also look a their website at http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/nov/6771/fiche_situation.shtml
Hope this is helpful to you and you manage to book your rooms. clipart{kao_smile2}

i just came back from HK last weekend. I stayed in the Novotel Nathan Road. It's very good. Clean though not very big. But it's very new and the bed is King Size bed. very seldom you can find King Size bed in Hong Kong hotels.......pillow is the feather type. and the price is reasonable. Distance to Jordan MTR is only less than 5 mins walk.
I saw that mickey luggage in the Taste Supermarket at Citygate Shopping Centre (Tung Chung). If i dont remember wrongly, it's selling for HK$790. I was so tempted to get but din coz worry that my luggage will be over weight. I also saw more designs at Ladies Street. It's at a corner shop at junction of Shan Tung Street and Ladies Street (aka Sai Yeung Choi Street). I din ask the price though.
we also stayed in Hollywood hotel in Disneyland. The room is also not bad. But then, actually if going to Disneyland for 1 day only, then actually can stay at Novotel Citygate. More convenient coz can go shopping and eating there. But if stay at Disneyland resort hotels, they have a stay and visit special promotion, buy 1 day disneyland pass can visit 2 days. so quite worth it then.

Coffee making area, they provide the usual like tea and coffee. Since hotel was just renovated, even the kettle is new and clean (not like the usual ones you see in hotels that are old and rusty looking.....)

sorry, din see the message till today. the weather is super hot in HK. the kids dont need long sleeves. we were in tees and long pants on 1st day of Disneyland and we really regretted it. it's so hot. i had to buy a visor to cover my face.........2nd day, we were smarter, shorts and sleeveless. haha.
tube top would be great.

depends on your age of children. Prudential is just above Jordan MTR. so if it's raining, you wont get wet. But for Novotel, got to walk about 2 streets away, less than 5 mins walk though. So it's raining, will get wet lor......

Is it Ramada Hong Kong hotel? if that is the case, it's on Hong Kong island side. It's not really within walking distance from Sheung Wan MTR. u are booking 2 rooms? better to stay near MTR coz anytime, if the children are tired, can go back easily for halftime break. also, if a lot of stuff to carry after shopping, can easily go back and put things and come out again without wasting too much time.
Guess the usual places for shopping will be Ladies Market, Fa Yuen Street for street shopping, ard Mongkok area. The departmental stores in Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui area. If you venture further out, it will be like Shatin or Taikoo areas. Basically all are shopping centres. Tung Chung has a shopping centre called Citygate that has factory outlets. On the way to the Ngong Ping Cable car station.
Places of interests will be Ngong Ping Cable car at Lantau island, The Peak, Ocean Park and Disneyland, Ave of Stars, etc.
and of coz, cant miss the food........cha chang ting, dim sum, etc....

cheryl,
I am not very sure about Metropole hotel. Is it the one near Prince Edward MTR? If so, then it's within walking distance to MTR and a few stops to the main shopping area.
Bel_mummy,
wow, Harbour Plaza resort hotel is a bit out of way although i heard that the hotel is very nice. But to go to town is quite troublesome. either a direct bus or a shuttle bus to train station to take train. Can be like nearly an hour to travel to town area. Better bring a big bag to dump all your shopping stuff coz you will have to lug your purchases every where you go till you go back to the hotel.
ora,
i heard dorsett seaview hotel's rooms are very small. though can still walk to the Yau Mei Tei MTR station. near to Temple Street. If with kids, maybe you might want to stay in a hotel with bigger rooms though. i stay in hollywood hotel so i cant really comment on disneyland hotel. You can check the pass rates in the hongkong disneyland webpage. If you stay in their hotels, you can purchase the 2 day pass for only 1 day price. Promotion till end of Sep 08.
End jun/early jul, there's when the sales starts but the weather is going to be very hot. I was there before in Jul. it's was very warm the whole day. keep perspiring as we walked the streets though there are many things to buy.
coz sales time.

Langham Place Mongkok is really very good.... And just across the road, there's a normal looking 'coffee shop', but it sells fantastic egg tarts!! Good for breakfast!
I'll be going to Disney 09 - 11 June, staying at Disneyland hotel and from 11 - 13 June, I'll be moving over to Mongkok to do my shopping at ladies st!! Yipeeee!! can't wait to go there. I am sure my 2 year old girl is also looking forward to the trip to see her beloved Mickey Mouse =)

If I'm not wrong, kids below 3 years old travel free on MTR. My BIL did mention that kids pay half price on buses. You might want to confirm with the conceirge of ur hotel when you are there

hi venx,
u can get the ferry tix fm the ferry point, i forgot the name le, it's Harbourcity or Harbour something... Went last nov, but memory no good liao
Try to get tix 1 day in advace 'cos we went on the day we wanted to go macau, reached around 10am and the tix were fully booked till 1 or 2pm. So we changed plan and went somewhere else for the day and bought tix for the next day.
Not sure if this happens daily but better to be safe than sorry. We are lucky we had alternative plans and still able to go macau the next day.
We went to the Venetian hotel and macau tower,tat's about it. Lugging 2 kids with us we try to keep the trip simple.
Some cabbies will come touting for biz asking u to book their cabs for the whole day at a price but most hotels provide free transport fm the ferry point when u reach Macau. Taxi back is cheap too.
For other things to see I believe u can get a pretty good idea fm the web. HTHs.

hi Venx,
no i did not stay in maccau 'cos oni there to look see look see
i think there are bus services available but am too lazy to find out. Since we hv 2 kids with us so we gathered it's easier to take a cab. It's not expensive to Macau tower.
There is a tourist information at the ferry terminal and you can ask them about the public transport.

oh talking abt the sales...wow..yummy!!
If you like LongChamp, they have very nice collection there. And they also have this limited version selling for only $100. Very lovely colours and extremely practical too. Wish I had bought a few! Visit the outlet at TST. They have a good collection.

those going macau via ferry or from zhuhai border,
there is no need to take cab/public transport.
almost ALL (95%) of the hotel have free bus service thru & from ferry terminal & the border. timing is about 15-20mins one bus...
ferry terminal buses are just outside the terminal
border buses just gotta walk out a bit further for most of the buses.
hope this helps

hello Mtan
I went there last oct and enjoyed myself tremendously! it's a great period to go - quiet and the weather is fantastic! Not too hot.
I'll try my best answer your queries.
I brought my pram despite friends' advice not to. It was quite difficult I must say because I had to carry the pram up and down the stairs. Nevertheless, the pram served me very well since I was walking a lot everyday. I brought the pram everywhere I went.
I stayed in Disneyland for 2 nights. It's a great experience. Breakfast with the characters was awesome. It gave us plenty of photography opportunities. Of course, it's also very convenient. After the fireworks, you can hang around the park then take the shuttle bus to the hotel. I can't exactly remember how much I paid for the room. I think about SGD 500 bah. I ate at the hotel for breakfast then in the park for lunch and dinner. Do make your reservation so that you dun have to wait.
If you need more info, feel free to ask...will try to answer them...

hello MTAN
I think it's abt SGD 500 for one night. We have 3 adults in a room. It might be cheaper. You can visit the website to take a look at the rates. I heard from people that if you become a member, you actually get discount off room rates. Again, you can check the website.
We did what you wanted to do. We stayed 4 nights in the city then 2 nights in Disneyland. From there, we proceeded to the airport.
Airfare was reasonable. Both CX and SQ cost abt sgd 500 including tax. I am not sure which is more expensive. Usually, I just book everything online.

MTAN,
Character buffet breakfast is served at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. It costs HK$218 per adult and HK$110 per child aged 3-11 and is served in 2 rounds:
1st round: 0700-0900
2nd round: 0930-1100
I think if u book thru travel agents their packages usu include a stay at disney hollywood, not disney HK hotel.
it may be cheaper if u book the trip yourself.
