Yep, I spent one of my 4 Hong Kong days NOT visiting famous temples, I spent the day in HK Disneyland. I can’t help it – it must be the kid still lurking in my soul (and not very deeply hidden either). HK Disneyland is smaller, and lacking a lot of the standard Disney rides, but it was worth the $30 USD and the $100 USD I spent on souvenirs. I went early so I didn’t have to deal with any major lines except for the noon Lion King show. Space Mountain was smaller so not as thrilling as the Florida one. I have decided the Buzz Lightyear ride is really “It’s a Small World” ride in disguise. Your slow car winds it way past lots of different scenes with different creatures from different places on either side. (sound familiar?) Only difference is that instead of listening to that awful mind permeating song you get to listen to the sound of laser fire as you shoot the creatures you travel past. The Jungle Cruise was EXACTLY the same with the same elephant shooting water and the same rhino poking the guides in the butt up the tree. And the guide told the same dry jokes as in the US but with a Chinese accent. (They had separate waiting lines for either English or Chinese language version.)
Food was mostly Chinese and I had to look hard to find a nice American Hamburger, but the famous Mickey Mouse head shaped ice cream bars were easy to find.
