Today we went to Disneyland! We got on a train and all the windows and hand rails were in the shape of Mickey Mouse! Also the seats were comfy.
Martha’s day
I went on these rides and I rated them out of ten:
- Mine Cart Ride 7/10
- Slinky Ride 5/10
- Flying Saucers 8/10
- HyperSpace Mountain 10/10
- Iron Man Experience 9/10
- Carousel 6/10
- Parachute Drop 10/10
- Tea Cups 4/10
- Halloween Town 10/10
We saw a show called “Let’s Get Wicked” (10/10) in which my favourite character was Cruella De Ville. I also saw a “Moana” show (4/10) and I bought a Mickey Mouse bubble machine.
Sam’s day
First we went on the Flying Saucers because there was no queue. Then we went on HyperSpace Mountain which was a rollercoaster. Then we went on the Iron Man Experience. We wore 3D glasses.
After that we went to Toy Story Land and me and daddy went on the RC Racer ride. I went on it again with mummy and daddy in the evening.
I also went on a Carousel, a Slinky ride, a Parachute Drop, a water shooting game, Mystic Manor, the Runaway Mine Car and the Mad Hatters Tea Cups.
We saw a show called “Let’s Get Wicked” with singing and dancing.
Angela’s Day
We didn’t know if it was going to be busy or not as we knew international and mainland China visitor numbers were down due to reduced tourist numbers to Hong Kong, but we felt it was reasonably busy though possibly not as much as usual.
The queues were anything from 0 to 40 minutes which was manageable in the heat. It was so very hot!!
I loved the ‘Let’s get wicked’ show and we were singing the songs constantly for an hour after. My lovely children made me go on lots of scary rides and I was petrified by most of them!
Funnily enough I would rate the Tea Cups, Slinky and the Carousel much higher than Martha did, purely because they did not terrify me as much! I managed one go on the RC Racer ride which Sam loved, and I had my eyes closed throughout – never again! (Mike had to go on it twice, ha!).
Even though lunch was the ubiquitous burgers and chips the veggie burger was pretty decent and we played a good game of i-spy in the dining tent.
Altogether a very enjoyable day!
Mike’s day
Due to the time of year, the park had a Halloween Theme, with lots of pumpkins and other scary stuff which looked good when it got dark.
Despite it being brutally hot, we were there all day and managed to get back home safely before they closed our nearest MTR station.
(Note from the parents – Given that the Year 5 learning topic was “Scream Machine” we could not pass up the opportunity to go to Hong Kong Disneyland! It took a while for us to get there with the events earlier on in our stay, and then the frequent disruptions to MTR travel but we made it! And just in the nick of time as the Disneyland line was closed the last couple of days we were in Hong Kong. Sam and Martha have been learning about the forces used in rollercoasters, and were looking forward to experiencing what they had learnt about.)
