Day 3 is a trip to the happiest place on Earth, The only one outside Japan and probably the Cheapest among all location. DISNEYLAND and also the smallest.
We brought the tickets for about HKD375, which works out to about S$65. Mum and Dad decide not to tag along and prefer to visit their Friends in HK.
We have our Breakfast at this Congee cafe near our hotel called 海皇粥店. I t is located @ Lai Shing Building, 497A Nathan Road, Kowloon, just about 5mins walk from our hotel.
Ordered You Tiao, Their Version with You tiao wrap by flour. This version can also be found in Restaurant in Singapore, though is may not be as widely available in our coffeeshops.
A Bowl of Hua Shen Porridge, Yummy!!. I prefer Cantonese Porridge to the Teochew Version. Their Rices is so much smoother.
and a Cup of Soya Bean Drink
Porridge is a standard breakfast staple in the Hong Kong Menu, but it hard to find a good one without spending time to look for one....luckily we manage to find one so near to our hotel which is off a reasonable standard.
One thing I notice in this cafe is the amount of sauce they have for their porridge. Usually it is just Soya sauce in Singapore. Here in HK, we even have Peanut, BBQ, Sweet and sour. I personally like Peanut sauce.
Typical practice in HK is that, the waitress will come over and take order, and put a piece of paper like the one above @ your table. Once u finish your meal, proceed to the counter for your bill....(Similar to singapore in some ways..lol but alot Louder and might be ruder in someways)
It's a rather big contrast in terms of the amount of activities on this street in the daytime as compare to the night time. Gone now are all the stores being setup selling from toys to food much like our Pasar Malam.
We took the MTR, which is the more econmical way to reach Disneyland them to go by their shuttle bus provided by the Tour desk which charges a surcharge for a one way trip there. Took from Yau Ma Tei and change at Lai King towards Sunny Bay for the Disneyland line to Disney Resort
The Train (MTR) at Disneyland line is a very special Train. It really depict the Happiest Place on Earth Feeling, all their train have mickey Mouse Windows Design and even their Handle Bar are of a Mickey Mouse shape. No wonder this is the happiest places..in the World...I use to have this dream to visit Disneyland when I was a kid...those day coming here is so far-fetch....Kid nowadays are so fortunate.
It's a rather hot day in HK for this time of the year (Dec), temperature is like in Singapore, just less humid. 30C....unexpected really.
There is quite a crowd, took some photos before we cross the gate into Disneyland.
The Landmark Monument from the Cartoon Fantasia.
Even before entering the park, Xuan already feeling tired. At her age...afternoon nap is a must...Let see how long she can last here..lol
The Entrance to the Disneyland Park Resort. There are a couple of Hotels within the Vicinity, We didn't choose to stay here mainly due to the cost of paying for a 5star hotel....
I have been to a number of Disneyland Park, mainly in the States, must say...the model is all the same..it is only a matter of the size of the park. It was say HK's version is the smallest....Baby Xuan is really excited by her first visit to the Park.. Afterall, Disneyland is definitely more Child-friendly than Universal Studio which will open in Singapore next Year.
This First Place when we entered the park is the Main Street, USA, here various building depict a typical Street in USA.
We went into this place called " Art of Animation" and was treated with a surprise by this Toy-Story illusion display. Pretty interesting, about your eyes play tricks on you. The Idea is that the turning of the stage cause the whole animation to come alive. Got to see it live to really explained...it...basically, everyone inside this picture comes alive...
Photo of me with Baby Xuan before proceeding to take the DisneyLand RailRoad.
With Mummy and Daddy, child at this age always have problem looking at the camera. She must be wonder what is there to look @...lol
The First Ride in the Park, To take the Train for a round the Park Ride. This Excursion stlye train will bring you for a grand tour of the Park into the 3 lands, namely Adventureland, FantasyLand and TomorrowLand.
It wasn't really a very long queue though....but thought it is a good way to see what to expect from the park.
Frequency of the Train Arrival is pretty fast, didn't wait for a long time, the next train arrived.
It is quite a long wait to departure as the staff confirm every single one is seated properly. There are a couple of "China people" who refuse to heek their advise...resulting in the long delay.
Xuan starting to feel cranky as the afternoon nap time is near.
As expected, Xuan need her afternoon nap afterall, she fell asleep shortly after we alighted. As it is around Lunch time already, We decided to stopby this Fast Food Restaurant to settle our Dinner. It look like the Disney's version of Macdonald....
There is quite a Crowd inside the Air-conditioned Restaurant, but we managed to find a seat @ the non-Air con area outside the resturant though.
This must be one of the most unsatisfying meal I have so far in HK, The food tasted bland. But there is really nothing much to expect from a Theme Park Fast Food Restaurant. Wonder Why MacDonald din want to setup a outlet here...(Must be due to the copyright or Disney's high rental rate)
But there is really nothing much to expect from Fast food as how good can they get....lol Their Fish Burger though really need improving ...
Xuan Rested for a while just in time for us to enjoy our lunch and rest for a while. Rented out this stroller for small fee or about 45HKD. She can be lazy to walk if she is tired. Anyway...she wasn't very good at it yet....so Renting this is a definite Need.
Wonder what is the big occasion that have the Local TV station Presenter, likely from their News Department at Disneyland Reporting news...!!!
The Queue at Disneyland can be quite long, though they are comparable to everywhere else in Other Disneyland, Lucky, most of the rides in Disneyland are child-friendly. Got on the "merry Go Round" Ride.
Got on the Flying Elephant Ride as well.
After going on a couple of rides...the baby is hungry for her milk...
There is this mobile Shop selling Buzz lightyear bubble gun that spray out bubbles. Baby have a fun time catching the bubble.
We later went over to The Ride " It is a small small world" boat ride. It is a really kidish ride, with lot of puppets singing. Below are some shots during the ride.
The Ride is basically a Visual Spectacular. Lot of moving puppets singing.
Took a rest after the ride watching the World gone by. 
Got an Ice-cream for the kid to enjoy!!!
A photo @ the Castle.
As this is a Weekend, there will be a Disney Parade and Fireworks and there is this super talk Christmas Tree at the Entrance of the park and I am sure it will be magical at night when all the lights are lighted up..
