Moving on to another favourite on mine, GRIZZLY GULCH!
Grizzly Gulch is Hong Kong Disneyland’s version of Frontierland which mirror’s the 19th century Wild West. It is small and the only ride is Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, which is a roller coaster similar in style to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. It differs by featuring a few backwards portions and a cool launch. The rest of Grizzly Gulch is quick to walk through.
We went to try this Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars and it was so fun!!
Ok after few rides involving quite an adrenaline rush, it’s time to fuel up and EAT!
We have done our study on the Halal Restaurant here so we didn't pack our lunch for this trip. We directed went to the Tahitian Terrace, where they provide Asian cuisine and also HALAL.
Once filled up, we continued our walk and back to the Fantasyland. Fantasyland is at the heart of the Disney fairy tale magical moment experience. It features the most prominent Disney trademark, Sleeping Beauty's Castle and many of the classic fairy tale characters from everyone's childhood find their "homes" here.
Among the attractions in The Fantasyland are :
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Cinderella's Carousel
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Mad Hatter Tea Cups
Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
It's a Small World
The Golden Mickeys Show This show has been replaced by the Mickey and the Wondrous Book Show
Mickey's PhilharMagic
All roads lead to the Sleeping Beauty Castle which located in the centre of the park. It is a replica of the original Disneyland Anaheim's own castle with the blue tower roofs and light pink walls.
This is one of the classics, after all, what theme park wouldn't have a merry-go-round. You find the Carousel as soon as you go through the Castle.
There are stationery horses as well as the ones that move up and down, and different sizes to accommodate all ages.
Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Also could be enjoyed by visitors of all ages!
Another show we watched here. This time a 4D movie animation, the extra dimension is for the added effects coming at you in all directions, and I'm not saying any more, you just have to watch it.
After the show, still in the Fantasyland, we went to another souvenir shop, Merlin's Treasurer.
Honestly all the items are so interesting despite the expansive price. But for once, considering U might not have a chance to visit another Disneyland, and of course this Disney's souvenirs are exclusive which U cannot purchase it anywhere outside Disney, so I bought few fridge magnets which cost around HKD10/item.
Next we reached the Fantasy Gardens where you can meet your favourite Disney Characters here and take photo together. You can either use their professional photographer or give them your camera and they can help you to take photo with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Winnie the Pooh and many more.
After photoshoot, we went to It's a Small World. It is a water-based dark ride ,inside a building where you will be taken to wander around the small world of children. The ride features over 300 audio-animatronic dolls in traditional costumes from cultures around the world, frolicking in a spirit of international unity and singing the attraction's title song, which has a theme of global peace. It was so exciting.
After the tour of Small World finished, we went out from the building and reached back at Main Street.
It was getting dark, chiller and merrier!!
Souvenir shopping is fun here! However the price tag wasn’t.
Last section we went here, turn right after leaving Main Street USA and you’ll land in Tomorrowland.
Rides and attractions:
Autopia (currently closed)
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
Hyperspace Mountain (Space Mountain, really)
Iron Man Experience (Opening in January 2017)
Orbitron
Star Wars Command Post
Autopia
This is a very popular ride and one of our favourites. You get to help Buzz defeat the evil Zurg, armed with Laser Astro Blasters which you use to shoot at the targets as you go through the ride.
Along the way, you meet some of Buzz's old friends from Star Command and the Little Green Men, the aliens of course. It was very entertaining!
Next ride also was so much fun!! At Autopia you get to steer, accelerate and brake your own electric car and cruise in the highways of tomorrow.
The Space Mountain is one of the most popular rides at all Disney parks and here at Hong Kong Disneyland is no exception. Before the arrival of Toy Story Land, it was the one of the few rides where most older kids spent their time and the only roller coaster-like ride. It is a fast, thrilling ride, in the dark, with sudden turns, drops and bends. However, it was not our luck to try it as it was closed during our visit there. Other's attractions like Ironman Experience and Star Wars Command Post are also not opened yet that time.
So now, it was the highlight of our Disneyland visit. It is a must to stay until nightfall for this event!
Disneyland looks totally different during the night, and of course that very one reason people stay until night in Disneyland Hong Kong: The Parade & Fireworks!
One of the best highlights at Hong Kong Disneyland is the "Disney Paint the Night" Nighttime Spectacular. You should get there about 15 minutes in advance to secure a good viewing spot along Main Street USA.
At about 7.30pm, The Disney Marching Band and all the favourite Disney Characters make an appearance, with Mickey and friends in the leading float...
It’s not just about the floats though; there is also music, the Disneyland Band, dancing, acrobatics and various performers coming together to put up a continuously entertaining parade.
The show took about 20-30minutes before the fireworks were lit into the sky above Sleeping Beauty Castle, where breathtaking light and colour sparkle to classic Disney music. The street-to-sky extravaganza, featuring breathtaking fireworks and an all-new animated light projection show on Sleeping Beauty Castle, promises to warm your heart and fascinate your senses like never before!
We really had a wonderfull day at Disneyland, and I felt so lucky that day because one of my wishlist had come true. This place is really magical.. It brushed off all the negatively feelings and what I had in mind was just happy. Definitely one of the place you need to visit while in HK!! Once the firework show finished, we went out from the Disneyland to our final place of the day. It was our last night in Hong Kong, and what is the best activity to do here rather than shopping right!!
So end of my DISNEY experience, to be continued next.
