Kiong Hee Huat Tsai!!! (angpao tue lai!) :) As we celebrate the Chinese New Year, let me continue my wonderful food adventures in cosmopolitan Hong Kong. Let me start with these two food outlets that you should not miss when visiting Hong Kong Disneyland . After all the fun that you’ll surely experience inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort , it’s time to focus on the different dining options that you can avail of in and around the Park. Just like any theme park, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort has a lot of food kiosks in almost every corner. Here you can enjoy Mickey Mouse waffles, sausages and huge turkey legs. Since we were pressed for time, we made sure that dinner was memorable and so we headed to Plaza Inn an hour before the fireworks was scheduled to start to avail of our dinner that was prepared for us by our gracious hosts. This will give us ample time to enjoy our dinner and later on, head out to Cinderella’s castle to enjoy the evening display of fireworks. The organi...

Here you leave Today and enter the world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy… This message caught me by surprise and it basically prepares all visitors entering the wonderful world of Disney. Meet Leona, she was our tour guide on the day we visited Hong Kong Disneyland . Her happy disposition was very contagious that you’d end up smiling and waving as you move on with the tour. We met her at the Guest Relations Office and moved on to Main Street USA where we met cute Santa’s elves holding giant candy canes and were game enough to pose for a photo op. This section reminds us of photos of old New York with brick houses housing bakeries and photo shops for customers to visit. I love the Emporium where we found these coin pressing machines! Just put in a HKD $10 coin and out comes a flat oval coin bearing the image of a Disney character. We were later told that there are a lot of coin pressing machines scattered around the park but due to time constraints we contend ourselves wit...

Disney has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact, twenty years ago, Papa would read my favorite storybook about Donald Duck and his three mischievous nephews Huey, Duey and Louie whom he has officially renamed “Ping”, “Pong” and “Pang” for faster and easier recall before tucking me in bed. For years, I have grown to know them for the names my dad has created only to find out from my best friend T that “Ping”, “Pong” and “Pang” does not exist. Nonetheless, this funny memory reminds me of my early childhood bonding with my dad. Moving on to my pre-school years, I have always been chosen to play Snow White who later was instructed to act dead after taking a bite from the “rotten” apple. For once, my classmate saw a chubbier, Asian version of Snow White. I hope that didn’t ruin their beautiful image of faired-skin princess. Disney continues to play a magical part in our lives; no matter how old I am now I still enjoy listening to all the Disney so...
