Hi! My family and I are planning to go to Hong Kong soon, I checked the hotel website and found that the maximum capacity is 4 people per room. I just wanted to ask if anyone has firsthand experience exceeding this max capacity? As in having 6 people per room or something like that. Would the hotels allow it for free, would there be a fee, or is it strictly not allowed? We're quite a big family so we're trying to save on accommodation :)

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

i would love to connect with other pass holders,, i know that there are many online pages/groups for the other Disney parks, are there any for Hong Kong Disney or is our community too small :(

Is there a discord server for hk disneyland that would be nice to hang around?

I am a Japanese who will visit Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time. There are almost no Star Wars goods sold at Disneyland in Japan, but how about at Hong Kong Disneyland? I heard that there used to be a facility where you could assemble your own lightsaber. Also, I heard that Hong Kong Disneyland used to sell popcorn buckets shaped like Iron Man's head. Is that still available? Do you have any other recommendations for enjoying Hong Kong Disney, or any other merchandise that Star Wars or Marvel fans should definitely buy?

I am excited about my first trip to Hong Kong!

Hi! Planning on heading to Disneyland today, are most rides still operational today and how is the weather? Is it still worth it to go if you can tuff out the rain?

Does anyone know if we are able to use the recreation areas after checking out at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort?

My mom is an avid fan of Disneyland and we decided late to go to HK. the ticket starting on May1st doubled the price compared to last days of April. Was thinking to book April tickets via Klook and just change the dates in HKDL app. Will that work without extra cost? thanks for the help!

Hey all! Husband & I are visiting HKDL this weekend. We’ve heard that the weather has been very gloomy lately. Is that usual during this time at HK?

Also, are we expecting a crowd this weekend given the weather forecasts? Still thinking about purchasing a fast pass but given the weather, we were thinking we might not need them…

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, me and bf are visiting Hong Kong from Canada and between May 26-May 30. It will be his birthday on the 27th so I would love to surprise him with tickets but was wondering if there’s anything I should keep in mind such as longer wait times on certain days, whether or not we should get the fast pass during this time of month, etc.

I’m open to going either on the 27th, 28th or 29th. Preferably 28th or 29th so we have some time after he lands to settle in.

I’ve been to Disney in LA and Florida so am familiar with the environment, however we can only really commit one full day to Disney in HK so I was wondering if there’s any tips and tricks + do’s and don’t do’s that anybody had to help me navigate this surprise better.

Thanks a bunch!

This group was so helpful so I thought I’d pay it forward and give my trip report.

Who - Myself, husband and two toddlers (3.5 and 1.5). We’re Americans who live in another South East Asian country, and we’ve been to many other Disney parks around the world but this our first time at HKDL.

When - We went on a Friday in April. Crowds were extremely low, in part I’m guessing due to the fact that rain was forecasted for that day for the whole week. We had two brief showers in the morning and twenty minutes in the afternoon but that was it so we lucked out!

Length - we just did one day at HKDL. We did three nights in Hong Kong total because this was a quick long weekend trip for us. I could have done another day, because I love Disney and we really took our time, but one day was probably enough for the rest of my family.

Top tips

• If renting a Disney stroller, bring cash for the deposit (will explain below).
• bring something to cover your stroller and umbrellas for yourselves. If you are going in rainy or shoulder rainy season, prepare for rain. One second it was sunny and the next it was raining - so cover your stroller when you leave it if it looks at all like rain in the forecast.
• get your standby pass on the app for playhouse in the woods asap if you want it - they ran out. Also, honestly, it was kind of chaotic. The standby entry process was a mess, being herded into the tight corridor was overwhelming to my kiddo. And then the show itself, while innovative, moved a bit too quickly for the kids to get I think. Or most of the adults - everyone seemed confused. I’d only do it if you have a diehard Frozen fan. My three year loves Olaf but not Elsa and kept asking to leave.

We stayed in Kowloon and took the MTR to Disney and back. I mention this because most of the YouTubers etc that I’ve seen stay at Disney, but with only three nights in Hong Kong we wanted to stay in the city. Changing hotels with small kids takes forever, so I’m glad we didn’t do a split stay. I think if we were in HK for four nights then I would do two at Disney and two in the city, but for three nights it was fine to commute back out to Disney. Yes it took about an hour, but it really went by quickly and wasn’t a big deal since the park opens so late.

We didn’t buy premier access because it didn’t seem like the right fit for the ages of our kids and the price. Instead we did early entry. We got to the park around 9, which is when they opened up security. Early entry was let into the park itself at exactly 9:30.

The first thing we did was rent a stroller. We didn’t want to bring our double stroller on this trip because it’s a hassle to travel with (and I’m glad we didn’t!). When in Hong Kong, we relied on a combo of older our kid walking/riding in our single stroller/soft sided carrier on our back for the younger babe. But for Disney we opted to rent a stroller so they both had one, which was well worth the money because it saved my back. I still brought the carrier for the one year old for lines. HOT TIP - bring cash for the stroller rental. I can’t remember how much the rental was, but they wanted me to pay the 100HKD deposit in cash so that it was easier at the end of the night to get the deposit back. I didnt have any cash on me (my husband had it and he was getting coffee), and I didn’t want to waste early entry time dealing with it so I told her to put it all on my card. She pushed back that it would take longer to return the stroller at the end of the night, but I was like it’s okay. She kept insisting I go to an ATM but she finally put it on my card. At the end of the night when I returned it, it took all of five minutes to process the return, it wasn’t a big deal at all. Granted, we left before fireworks so I imagine if you stayed til close it would take longer. You can rent a rain cover from them as well if you want.

Early entry was great - we got coffee, took castle pics, and rode frozen ever after and my husband and three year old did wandering oakens. He really enjoyed the fact that the lap bars are individual on it but said it was a very short ride and he was glad they only waited a few minutes.

Before lunch we did Dumbo, Pooh, slinky, and mystic manor, which was INCREDIBLE.

Against advice here, we did book Explorers Club for lunch at noon. Really it seemed like there was no need to book ahead if going on a weekday at least. We were warned it would eat a chunk of our day but with toddlers in tow this was just what we needed since they’d been up since six. It was a bit pricey but the food was good, it was great to get off our feet and recharge, and our three year old actually ate a lot since she could see what she was picking out. The cost was offset a bit by the fact that our one year old was free. We were not trying to do every ride in the park with kids this young, so this strategy worked for us because it helped reset.

After lunch we walked around a bit. We did the railroad, took pictures with Mickey and shopped, small world, playhouse in the woods, watched the cavalcade, tea cups, carousel, fairytale forest (this was a huge hit that I wasn’t expecting). Taking pictures with Mickey ate up a large amount of time - about 45 min. All of the ride wait times were less than 20 min all day but the character lines were pretty long (for a toddler).

Edit to add - for dinner my husband and I weren’t really hungry still because of the buffet (and we all had ice cream mid afternoon). The kids split a waffle from the cart on mainstreet and one of the fruit cups. They actually had that fruit cup twice (split it both times), and I felt like it was a good amount of fruit for the price. We got it in Toy Story land and also on Main Street.

We left before fireworks because we were exhausted, which I was sad about but sometimes you need to know when to call it with kids.

Overall, it was an amazing Disney day. I loved the atmosphere at the park - everything was so well maintained. Waits were low, and if you were go with the flow it was just a really easy day.

If anyone got this far, bless you 😅 but if you’re also exploring Hong Kong with toddlers, I highly recommend Victoria park. It has FOUR great playgrounds just in one park.

As of posting it has been officially announced by HKDL half an hour ago

Hi I'm about to book a stay at one of the hotels here. My wife, 22 month old toddler and myself will be visiting soon.

We plan to make a short trip from Singapore to Hong Kong and stay all 4 days at the Disneyland but I just had a couple questions.

Which room type is the best for the Disneyland Hotel? Deluxe, Sea View, and is Kingdom Club worth it?

I'm thinking of Kingdom Club as we might just stay in the hotel a lot if our toddler is too difficult to bring to town. (It's our first overseas trip with our kid so we don't know what to expect) Also. I work at a travel agent so I have additional 20% discount for this so that's why I'm considering it.

Any help appreciated!

Hi everyone! A few questions before our one day park visit next week!! Answer one or answer all 😂 any help appreciated.

-Can you get food delivered to the hotels by food delivery apps etc??

• favourite treats in the park?
• best value western lunch/dinner in the park itself?
• any tips for the best order to tackle the rides after completing the rides available with early entry? Does it matter?
• what time should we get to the gate prior to early entry? 15 mins early? 30 mins early?
• do you think it's feasible to do both frozen rides plus the other 3 available in early entry within the one hour?
• I have a small merch budget, better to shop in the park or at explorers lodge where we are staying?

Thanks for all and any responses/tips!!

Hi! Mom and I are planning to go to HK Disneyland next month. I plan to buy tickets on the website, and noticed that for ages 65 above, the cost is 100HKD only. Does that apply to everyone, even foreigners (we are not from HK), or for HK residents only? Thank you!

Edit: thanks to everyone who answered my question!

Hello, we are visiting during the Duffy and Friends Play Days event and wanted to get some opinions on whether the premier access passes are worth it for:

• Stella Lou's Wonderful Wishes Ballet show
• Duffy and Friends Joy of Sharing stage show
• Duffy and Friends Playhouse

Thanks!

Ive just spent the day walking around HK Disney without finding a popcorn bucket. Are they sold in a particular store or not in HK Disney at all?

People might not answer the question you have because they might not know the answer, but you can contact HKDL through email or phone here

We are looking at purchasing the “Three Magical Days” package which includes two nights accommodation and two days park entry. If we check in on a Tuesday and Check out on a Thursday, does anyone know if your park entrance is valid on those days? The park is often closed on a Wednesday.

Hello! I have some miscellaneous questions that I can’t find answers to online. I’m going in a few weeks with my husband, three year old, and 1 year old.

• Does HKDL have rider swap like the American parks? (Where one parent waits in the line and then afterwards other can go up the premier access line without waiting in the standby - thus allowing parents with small kids to ride a ride that their kids can’t ride.)

• Thoughts on the explorers club for lunch? In past Disney visits, it seems to really help our crew to sit down in the AC for lunch so I’m looking for a good table service.

• If doing explorers club, does the 1 year old cost money? I feel stupid asking that but under three in the US at buffets is free, but I know this isn’t the US and isn’t a full buffet.

Thank you!

Is there pin trading with CMs at HKD?

I'm calculate how much I have to set aside, thanks if anyone have any info!

I think everyone can agree that Stage Shows are some of the best things to do in HKDL. I am trying to reserve dates that has the most shows. Does anyone know which days usually has the most shows or is it just random?
Another question is I am trying to book tickets 3 weeks in advance. Today is 28 March - I am trying to book tickets between 16 - 25 Apr but it is showing only 1 show, worse still some days are showing no shows at all. Is it because this is too early and DL cannot update the park calendar that far ahead? I am hoping more shows will get updated later on their website.

I'm hearing conflicting stories where some/most rides are still closed an hour before opening; making the early pass not worth it. Is that the case? Am planning to visit early May

Does anyone know when they put up the Christmas tree in Hong Kong last year?

Hello does anyone know if free early entry into the park is included for hotel guests? I will be going next week. Thanks in advance!

As the title says,

also, we will be arriving at HKIA on March 24, and will be going straight to disneyland. Any tips? optimal routes? We already purchased the 3 attraction pass for our kids.

I'm having trouble changing the calendar on the ticket purchasing page. It will only let me purchase March. Cannot change month beyond that. Anyone else?
