Double Hellos

Taking Cathay to HK with our onboard meal! All booked via Expedia together with a room (4d3n @ $550 per pax) at Cosmo Hotel Mongkok! Meiji dessert is the best!
My boy carrying all our luggage, and us taking the Airport Express Line to Kowloon station, where we could hop on the free shuttle to our hotel! 

We requested for a high room at the hotel, and while there isn't much scenery to speak off, at least we could see into the distance and not look into someone else's flat, so it was good enough for us! 



Fast forwarding to day 2... it's DISNEYLAND day! After having a vegetarian dim sum breakfast we headed straight down to Sunny Bay from Mongkok station, and changed to the Disneyland train!

From my research, I concluded that there wasn't a need to spend a full day from morning till night. Since we were staying for fireworks and the Halloween decorations, we only reached Disneyland slightly before 12, and even then the crowd wasn't too horrendous, so it was fine!
Since the tickets were booked online, it was a simple matter of just printing it out at the automated kiosk! Skipping the queue in a user friendly way!

Having a little boat ride through Adventureland, where, since we were the only English speaking tourists taking the English speaking boat, we had the entire boat to ourselves!



In Toy Story Land, as expected the rides conform to the theme too! Whilst some reviews may put Disneyland down as a place without thrilling rides, I feel that some of the rides are more than enough to give me a racing heartbeat! For example, the Paradrop (can't remember the exact name) you see above is basically a vertical drop which is slightly slower than the other vertical drop rides I've taken before, but still thrilling!
Once again, I found my Doppelgänger, so as usual, she asked me to pose as the bear... 

Next up, we went for a Mickey show, where characters from various signature Disney movies entertained the crowd in a fantastic musical. Characters from Toy Story..

After dinner we went to check out their gift shop and take more photos whiles waiting for our shuttle bus back to Disneyland..
And finally, the highlight of the night after dinner was the fireworks! Re entry was done via a chop on our hand just like a club. The only gripe I had was that we went too late, and all the good seats were taken up so we had to sit on the floor. Everyone was just sitting on the floor like schoolchildren so we followed suit! Nevertheless we still got a pretty decent spot to enjoy the fireworks. Our cameras just don't do them justice!


Awesome Disney songs we are familiar with in our childhood mixed up with the pyrotechnics didn't fail to give Sheena and I goosebumps all over, and really really good entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyable~
Since it was Halloween we decided to snap a few more pictures with the Mascots who changed into nice costumes for a different photoshoot experience. Chip & Dale as well as Goofy were our last additions to our photo collection! And with that we bid farewell to the park of dreams Disneyland!
