About 2 years ago, we went to Hong Kong Disney’s Halloween event and it was really awesome. The highlight was of course the night parade with all the spooky floats and then the fireworks display which they now branding it as “nightmare in the sky”. The best vantage point to capture this at the front [...]
The fireworks at hongkong disneyland is quite different compared to 4th of July fireworks. The aim of Disney’s fireworks is to tell a story. So the fireworks must be precisely controlled up to the last millisecond. Tip: Bring a tripod! I didn’t bring my tripod so I have to make sure of what I have. [...]
Next stop, adventureland at Hongkong Disney. One ride in adventureland is a river ride through amazon jungle. They have giant spiders. And huge crocodiles. And a spectacular ending with volcanoes spewing out fires.
In the afternoon, the highlight was this High School Musical Parade. The kids simple love it. The kids were given a basketball (more like a beachball) and ask them to shoot hoops with the highschool musical dancers. Then they get to learn a few steps from high school musical too.
Another favorite spot for kids in Disneyland is the water playground. Just be careful with all your electronics as it may get wet. Kids playing with bubbles. Watch out for the water spray. All these made us hungry. Want some hotdogs?

The centerpiece of every Disneyland is the Sleeping Beauty Castle. At Hongkong Disneyland, the Sleeping beauty castle is quite elegant and picture perfect. The above is the view of the castle from the back. Front view of the castle.

It was halloween when we went there and some where in halloween costumes. I remember Donald playing with one of the girls before us who was wearing a headband with devil horns.  Is he just [...]
Remember to take lots and lots of shots when you’re with the Disney Characters.  My DSLR can save up to about 1000 shots so I just fire away taking as much pictures as I like. Take full body shots and also closeup shots. I bet your kid will love you big time once he gets [...]
One cannot go home without having a picture together with Disney characters.  Here’s our first one with Minnie Mouse. I can’t imagine somebody working 9-5 inside that costume. I later found out that after a while, all these Disney characters go for a 3-minute break every now and then. We’ll that’s how they wanted it [...]
