​I spent two extremely lovely nights at the Disneyland Hotel in November and have been dying to go back ever since.  This hotel is as classy as they come with the perfect amount of Disney sparkle.  First, a couple of things to note about staying at ANY of the Disney Resort hotels in Hong Kong: all rooms come with special Priority Admission Passes for select attractions in the park along with a special entrance gate for hotel guests only.  This is a nice perk as Hong Kong Disneyland does not have a Magic Morning or Extra Magic Hours type access for hotel guests.  (I will say that lines in general seem to be rather short, so I didn’t even need to use my Priority Passes.) 

When it comes to traveling the world in search of Disney adventure, there’s nothing better than discovering a brand new ride in a country I’ve never been to before.  I love seeing how the magic of Disney is the same wherever you go but the execution is always slightly different. Hong Kong is no exception to this and there are a PLETHORA of really wonderful one-of-a-kind rides here. In fact, I think this is one of the most underrated parks in the world.

I am a notorious over-packer... for everything. I never know what I'll need and I hate being too hot or too cold.  When it comes to Disneyland I've been known to operate the same way. If I know I'm going to be in the park all day I'm usually lugging along a backpack stuffed to the brim. Sometimes this works, sometimes it's just downright annoying.  So I've made it a goal over the past couple months to see how light I can go and it's become a pretty fun challenge. ​

If you’ve made it through part 1 of my Tokyo Disney recap, then you know that (spoiler alert!) Tokyo Disney Sea was not my favorite park.  On the flip side, I LOVED Tokyo Disneyland. I mean, really really loved it, and think you can easily spend 2 full days here. Why? Because there is just so much to do!  There are tons of rides in this park, not to mention really incredible dining opportunities and shows. Both daytime and nighttime parades blew my mind (so much so, that I watched both twice). And there is just an overabundance of CUTENESS pretty much everywhere you turn in this park.
