Amongst the best family attractions, Hong Kong Disneyland has plenty to offer; while you may know all about its many rides and experiences you should keep in mind certain other aspects too and the insights below will help.
Getting There
This famous theme park is on Lantau Island and is easy to reach for those at a Tsim Sha Tsui-based Kowloon hotel; Hong Kong Disneyland can be conveniently accessed by taxi from properties like Park Hotel Hong Kong, an ideal accommodation choice for families. Alternatively, there’s the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) with connections on offer from the Sunny Bay Station as well as the Kowloon and Hong Kong MTR stations. Bus operators like Citybus, Long Win Bus and New Lantao Bus also provide access to this attraction.
Ticket Options
Check the official website (https://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/) for updates on entry requirements which may sometimes require you to utilise valid tickets to make park visit reservations. You can look to purchase tickets online from this website which apart from one-day tickets has other options too; these include a “Disney Premier Access” pass with priority access to certain popular rides. Another option would be to check ticket deals on websites like Klook (https://www.klook.com/) that provide great discounts too.
Time to Spend
While some may suggest that you can do a half-day visit to this theme park, ideally, plan to spend at least a day here. This way, you won’t be too rushed and remember, there’s plenty to see and experience; additionally, certain rides may have long queues, so you need to keep time for those as well. Depending on your travel schedule, consider spending two days at the park to leisurely enjoy what’s on offer and maybe go on repeat rides of your favourite attractions!
When to Visit
While you can head to Hong Kong Disneyland whenever you want, some periods are better than others; November to April is an optimal time with pleasant weather and temperatures. Meanwhile, during the summer season, you will find more crowds and the temperatures and humidity will be relatively higher too. Weekends and public holidays also see an influx of people, so weekday visits are worth considering. Additionally, keep in mind that during certain special periods like Halloween and Christmas, the park has themed elements that add to the fun.
