We did not need a fast pass (we went during a slow period), though we did do early entry (which cost extra) but probably could have accomplished everything without it. I am a former Disneyland pass holder and have been to the parks in Florida a few times. In comparison, HK Disneyland is very easy to get to since they have an MTR station that stops right at the park. We stayed at the Explorer's Lodge and were able to use the free shuttle bus to the park. With early entry, we were able to do the Frozen Ever After, Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleds and the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride all before the park opening. My daughter wanted to do a character meet and greet, which we queued up for as soon as we got into the park. The Disney parks in Asia have a set of characters unique to these parks and the character meet and greet waits can go up to 2 hours, so this was a bonus. We made sure to ride Mystic Manor, Frozen Ever After and the Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway MineCars twice since we don't have these in Anaheim. Food was a mixed bag. Some places were closed so we ate at the Explorer's Club, which had a semi-buffet. Food was ok but it was nice to have a sit-down lunch. The snacks were better - like the Lotso waffle sandwich, Korean grilled squid and the HK-Style Flavored Tea Slush with soft serve. We even caught a couple of shows - Festival of the Lion King and Mickey and the Wondrous Book. They are both good, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Mickey and the Wondrous Book. If you are a family with small kids, this is probably the easiest of the Disney parks to visit!

I came on a Saturday and was very pleasantly surprised by the wait times. The longest lines were…read moreonly 30 minutes, the average wait time was only 15 minutes. It's a much smaller park than the California Disneyland that I grew up with, but that was really nice as well; nothing felt rushed. We arrived at opening and by 2:30 had gone on just about every ride. They had a lot of character interactions and many shows around the park. It's not as expensive as US Disney parks either - that's a huge perk!

It seems like every time I come back and visit Hong Kong, this place is a must on my list. The new…read moreaddition this time, was of course the baby panda twins. Even with a timed ticket, there was a wait and crowds of people. Ocean Park is a whole day adventure. I absolutely love riding the cable cars from one end in Aqua city to the other end in Marine World. The waiting line can get very long for the cable cars, and we were fortunate enough to have our own. What I love most about this park is how it feels like a mini Disney World, a mix of looking at animals and also having theme park rides like roller coasters and the raft ride (which you will very possibly get wet!). While my motion sickness limits me from riding theme park rides, I enjoyed the ocean park tower overlooking most of the area, offering spectacular views from the top and the different fun animal exhibits with penguins, meerkats, aquatic creatures like mini jelly fish and sea dragons. Old Hong Kong was a nice walkthrough displaying the 50s to the 70s. The antique shop fronts were beautiful to look at. Usually I would ride the cable cars back to the entrance to leave but this time I rode the Ocean Express which felt like an underwater submarine.

Ocean Park is a classic to Hong Kong. I have heard a lot about it growing up and I always have the…read morementality that everyone should visit at least once when they are in Hong Kong. I am glad we brought our young daughters, 6.5 and 5 years old, on a Thursday in November. The weather was in the mid 60s (approximately 18 degrees Celsius), so we thought it was very comfortable. We went on the carousel and some simple rides. The park was not crowded at all so there were no waits. We also checked off several exhibits: panda, red panda, sea otters, walruses, sharks, and penguins. The panda exhibit was probably the most popular and we had to wait in line for approximately 10 minutes. For food, we really enjoyed what they had to offer at the Old Hong Kong. We shared soy sauce stir-fried noodles, fried fish ball siu mai, fried chicken leg quarter, egg waffles, and iced milk tea. They are very standard, classic Hong Kong street food. I was a bit disappointed that two of the food kiosks were closed because I wanted a bowl of cold tofu pudding. We would consider revisiting when the girls are older because there are several roller coaster rides for older kids by the North and South Pole sections. A few other positive notes: The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The MTR is super convenient.

Snoopy's World is conveniently located within a shopping mall. There is a huge bus that kids can…read moreboard, a large playground with slides, and a small boat ride. The boat ride is short and sweet but unique. I think most shopping mall play areas do not have a boat ride. For each child to ride the boat, parent supervision is required. There was a line during our visit and our wait was approximately 20 minutes. The ride itself is probably two minutes long but the kids enjoyed it and saw different characters along the way. The whole play area seems a bit dated and could use a refresh.

I would never have come here had my cousins not asked me to go with them. I have always believed…read morethat growing up in an international city like Hong Kong is pretty difficult as unlike other countries, we do not have much space for kids to run around, chasing after each other in the woods. Instead, we have kids staying indoor learning piano, violin, etc as young as 5 years old. So I always appreciate outdoor activities for kids and this is one of them - Noah's Ark. Opened in 2009, Noah's Ark is a rather new tourist attraction and it mainly caters for family and kids. How can you call itself Noah's Ark without the actual full-size simulation of Noah's Ark? I was pretty surprised when I first saw it as I thought it would be a much smaller scale but as the park's centerpiece, it does not disappoint. As an informative and religious place, this place allows visitors to learn about nature, family value and also the harmony. The highlight of this place to me is the "Ark Expo" where you can enjoy multimedia entertainment, for example, you may have a look at the short movie in the "180 degree Theatre" and see how Noah's ark came to its being. And I really do love the Ark Garden where you can have pictures with the replicas of the animals. Nevertheless, there are a few things which sort of put me off a bit. First is the religious theme is everywhere. I should not be surprised being coming here but as an atheist, I really do believe they have over-done it a little bit and you can almost feel that they are shoving those beliefs down your throat; second it the location, it seems like this place is too secluded, being located in Ma Wan, Noah's Ark is the only thing you can be here and the trip to here takes up most of your day already... regardless, I still love this place for kids to run around.

But when I came here I was impressed. It must've been the lobster night because a lot of the dishes had lobster. They had a really good salad bar with plenty of options. And they also had a really good selection of desserts. One of my favorite dishes was the marinaded lobster. It was bomb. They also had crab, shrimp, oysters, grilled vegetables, Dragon fruit. The Dragon fruit was pretty good. It was nice and sweet. I would definitely come here again.

As a fan of Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland I was excited to try HK Disneyland's version…read more Abandoned mining towns are oddly things that have appealed to me, probably due to a lot of road-tripping in the American Southwest during my childhood, and the great flashback scene at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Some good world-building sets in the queue areas help push the theme, although there was not a line when we went on a weekday evening. Expecting a straight HK "port" of the Anaheim version, we were definitely set up for some grin-inducing surprises. Recommend not reading spoilers if you do plan on riding this at some point; see rating and know we enjoyed the heck out of it. [Spoilers follow] If you've ever been on Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom, you'll find some very familiar elements on this ride. One difference is that for those in the front seats of Everest, the backward drop is telegraphed immediately when you see the broken tracks; where else can you go at that point? On Big Grizzly during the second part of the ride, the train goes up an incline slowly, not unlike the scene with the dynamite goats in the Anaheim version. Like the Anaheim version, I just expected a short curvy descent with some twists and turns. As you almost begin to crest the hill, you can still see the top of the tracks and there's no indication anything is different. A cable snaps with a twang, and a wooden swing arm attached to the machinery pulling up the cart twirls from some unseen recoil. This ride goes backward?! The twisting of expectations alone made this so much more fun that the mild no-loop ride it really is. We had no expectations beyond riding the local variant of our beloved Big Thunder and were surprised by the post-Everest upgrades. We loved it. Along with Mystic Manor, this ride was tied for our favorite experience while at HK Disneyland and shouldn't be missed.
