Day 11 Part 2 and day 12, Hong Kong Disneyland

Meanwhile, back in Hong Kong…

It’s just so teensie weensie!

Rested and refreshed we returned to the park. We were determined to close out the place since it closed at 8:45pm and featured a fireworks show at closing time. It was time to do a few rides we hadn’t done yet like…

…It’s a Small World. Unlike Anaheim Small World this one lets you cue up inside in some high powered air conditioning. 

The ride is very similar to it’s Anaheim twin. 

Can anyone tell what these blue creatures are?

What the heck are these things?!

And why are the Tahiti dancers being burned? Mike and I made up a story that the are witches being burned at the stake.​

Mike wanted to stroll through The Garden of Enchantment which is kind of like Storybook Canals on foot.

They had these cool metal frames with which you could line up a good picture.

After doing A few repeat rides we ended up in The Main Street Cafe and had some terrific burgers as we waited for the abomination that is the Paint the Night Parade to pass. (We both just hate that stupid parade.)

Then it was time to scope out a good seat for the fireworks. We opted for a location close to the exit so we could beat the crowds out of the park. The fireworks were ok (nothing like the ones at home) and the fact that they projected stuff on their cute little castle was sweet. 

Day 12

Not much to add here. We pretty much did the same things at the park with the exception of seeing Mickey and the Wondrous Book show. Fun live show where Mickey and Goofy have to help Olaf find his way back to snow before he melts. Olaf was played by a fun puppet. 

We rode the Mine train one more time. Here’s a video of the full ride.​

We also rode Mystic Manor reveal more times. Clearly our favorite at this park. Here’s a video of the pre-show before you get on the actual ride.​

​Cherie, our Jungle Cruise tour guide from the previous day, was hanging out and recognized us (probably since we gave her one of the gifts from California Disneyland) so we got a picture with her.

If anyone is planning on going to Hong Kong Disneyland staying at one of the resort hotels gives you the perk of using a sort of VIP security screening and entrance to the park. No wait to enter after 30-45 minute waits in Shanghai felt heavenly. Finally, here’s a bunch of videos of us just strolling through various parts of the park. Enjoy!
