The "Official" TPR Returns To Asia Ongoing TR!

[LuxoThe Smiley Face Pizza]

Yay, thanks for the early christmas present. Is it just me, or does Adventureland look more authentic in this Disneyland? Can't wait to download Space Mountain.

[ChrisZer0They Broke The Mold When They Made Me, Thank God!]

Couple of notes:

A) Its good to see theres not a chinese child peeing in the fountains or running in their undies, at least in your pics.

B)The HKDL castle looks akin to something you'd see at a minigolf course than at a MAJOR NAME THEMEPARK.

...I will say however, that Adventureland looks great

Ok, honestly everyone it's REALLY pissing me off with everyone talking about the "kids peeing in the fountains."

We saw NOTHING of the sort while we were there and we've already commented that three times in this thread.

IMO, those reports seemed to be nothing than the media seeking out something negative about the park, found some isolated incidents of the occurrence and made a big deal out of it.

And now the park has a reputation of "people peeing in the park and being filthy dirty."

The park is nothing of the sort. And every person here who continues to comment about it, is actually not HELPING the situation any. You're only adding to the bad reputation of the park and essentially supporting the over-glamourized American sensationalist journalism.

The people at the park were nice, courteous, clean, etc. If you want to see a disgusting display of humanity, the local Saturday crowds at most So Cal parks are 100 times worse than anything we saw during our stay at Hong Kong Disneyland.

So I am going to ask, for the sake of the park, to please stop with the "kids peeing in the fountain" comments.

Thanks for your understanding.

You guys look like your having fun! HKDL seems like a very nice park even though the castle is about the same size as DL's.

First of all... since it's Christmas Eve, I'm going to wish you guys Merry Christmas and continued safe travels.

Second, I am going to say "kudos" to Robb for his comments above^... I have never believed those "reports" anyway, as I would expect a higher standard for anything with the Disney name on it.

Finally, I have to say that the Chip and Dale deelybobbers are absolutely the most awesome Elissa-friendly accessory ever. I do hope you purchased those as they are sure to be one-of-a-kind.

Looking forward to more of your trip!

[coaster_type_of_personI know more about donkeys than women!]

It is a cultural thing. Chinese/Japanese, for the most part, view going to an amusement park as a rather classy thing, like going to a banquet or ceremony of some sort, but with rides of course. The cultures over there are far more respectful of pretty much everything than we are here in the states. Some of my Asian friends' parents will make them dress nicely(not like a tuxedo, but presentable, y'know) even for something seemingly mundane like going to the mall.

[Splash_MountainI've had the same crappy title for SIX years!]

He changed my opinon last night, when I was talking with him on AOL, I just thought the whole "kid peeing" thing was common, must have just been part of the opening. My sister has something similar to the Chip N Dale thing Elissa got, but it has Jack Skellington's head and it lights up.

[DerekRxI'm the gyro!]

Hong Kong Disneyland looks pretty cool, and will definitely be something I'll consider doing in a few years once they get more rides. Thanks for sharing pictures from this park. I'm not too concerned about it, so I didn't look at any pictures of its construction, reports from its opening, hear about the fountain peeing, or anything like that, but it looks like a nice place from your report and pictures. Hopefully in a few years it will have expanded much like Disneyland Paris. How much time did you guys actually spend at the park, and did you do everything there was to do?
