No flame war here. I am glad you enjoyed the park and it is obvious I am in the minority. At least Elissa agrees with me! :Pr

In the end, we are all very blessed to have been able to even visit such a place. Life is fantastic! Thanks again for the updates.

A private tour in Hong Kong Disneyland. Must have been awesome... Not for Disney (and their bank account)... but for you guys... I should try to go over there before they start filling it up with awesome rides so I can enjoy it empty.... Even in Disneyland Paris you can't find days like that anymore...

Thank you for the report

@Ghost, after spending some (has it been 13 days already?) in Hong Kong, it would probably make an excellent stopover destiation in a holiday itinerary.
ie, allow 4 days in Hong Kong. You could do the Disney park and Ocean Park on your first day, the big Buddha and it's surroundings as well as Victoria Peak the second day, third day spend getting any shopping at the various markets you want to do and then finish up on the fourth day doing whatever you may have missed or wanted to do more of.

I'm sitting in the HK airport now waiting for a flight home and thinking back on the time i had here with the missus. There really is not a whole lot to do unless you love shopping or getting your hands dirty in the local culture (there are a bunch of old style towns further out from the main islands).


Edit: Needed more punctuation =P

In that picture of the girl playing the piano--it looks like the piano's attached to a bicycle-like contraption. If so--does she ride the bike AND play the piano at the same time?

Great TR; I know next to nothing about HKDL and it's really neat to see it, especially from a perspective different than typical "brochure-perfect" shots. Looking forward to Japan pics!

If a picture's worth a thousand of 'em, this one describes TPR craziness in a 1000-word essay. :lol:

Disney around the world = awesomeness.

That pic of Main Street is truly awesome! It actually appears to be the Land of Disney, high amongst the hilltops of so and so..!
