After a relaxed first day (or rather half a day) which we spent just checking into the hotel and walking around nearby areas, we were ready to explore further. Today we were going to Disneyland. You might wonder why two grown adults would find Disney exciting. But Disney is Disney. We just needed to experience it having come this far.
We woke up later than when we'd have preferred and walked into the breakfast buffet lounge at around 10 in the morning. The spread was elaborate but we were a bit cautious about identifying vegetarian food. To our surprise there were even a couple of Indian dishes (idly and sambar was available pretty much everyday. Sometimes there'd be poori chhole, sometimes rotis). I was not really keen on eating Indian in HK so I filled my plate with fruit muesli, brown breads, fruits, yogurts, veg sushi, tofu and various other veg offerings. My mom loved the spread as well and we ate to our heart's content. We needed all that nutrition because we would be expending all our energy.
Around 11 we left the hotel and headed towards the closest MTR station (East Tsim sha tsui) and took two trains that took us to Sunnybay on Lantau Island. From there we switched to the Disney line and reached Disney around noon. We had already got our tickets online which they just scanned (from phone) and let us in.
Disneyland in HK is a much smaller version of the original Disney in the USA. Not that I have been to the one in US, but this is what I have read and I can confirm that this one is quite small.
We did have a good time going around the place though we didn't wait for the parade. We went on a ferry ride (where we saw these realistic looking animals lurking around) and to Tarzan's tree house which were both probably the highlights for us.
Lunch at Disney was just a cheese filled croissant which was seriously yummy. Not much choice for vegetarians at Disney but we were happy with this.
We were ready to leave Disney before the clock turned 4. Once again we took the same route back home (taking 3 trains including the Disney line) and reached the hotel.
Next on the agenda was to activate Big Bus tour. All that and more in the next part. Click here to read Part 4
