HK 3/12/13 DISNEYLAND

8AM out of hostel for breakfast. undecided kami kung saan kakain so naglakadlakad kami. saw Australia Dairy Co along parkes street, read about this online and its a popular breakfast place along jordan. sa dami ng taong nakapila, naengganyo na rin kami kumain dito. got a table for 3 and ordered what everyone else were ordering - macaroni soup with sides of toasted bread & eggs. when I tasted the food, i was quite dissappointed. it tasted bland, need to put pepper and other condiments to taste good. i guess kanya kanyang trip talaga, pero medyo naghinayang ako sa binayad ko dito. when i read about it online, it seems that comfort food ito ng mga taga HK, parang champorado siguro sa atin. hehe hindi siya sumakto sa panlasa ko. oh well, charge it to experience. at least na try namin.

rode the mtr to sunny bay after. dami na kaagad tao pagdating namin. mahaba na ang pila. they started letting people in at 10am. since we've been to disneyland before, inuna na namin yun new rides nila (toy story land & grizzly gulch). "grizzly runaway mine car" was a joy to ride. its different to other rides in that at one point, the cars would go both forward and BACKWARD. Pretty exhilarating and  not too scary for most people. paglabas namin, nakita namin si mickey and minnie mouse na nagseset up for photo op so pila kaagad kami. they used our camera and meron din photographer from Disneyland but siyempre may bayad na yun. 130hkd yata per pic if sa kanila ka nagpaprint so di na lang. dito na lang sa manila namin paprint lahat hehe went to geyser gulch din, a play area for kids.

sa toystory land naman, we tried slinky dog and parachute drop. RC racer was under maintenance so disappointed brother ko hehe di bale may next time pa naman. parachute drop was nowhere close to the "Abyss" of ocean park pero for a kids' ride ok na rin ito. you'd get to see the full view of toystory land from the above with a bit of thrill. toy soldiers also walk around the park a lot to entertain tourists and perform. what i like about the place though is ang daming mo puwedeng picture-an like lots of lifesize disney toys. meron din shop sa loob if you want to buy some souvenirs. went to barrel of fun to take pics with jessie. sayang lang wala si woody pero ok na rin.

we had lunch at the royal banquet hall. medyo mahal yun food pero gutom na eh so me and bro got the 98hkd beef, porkchop with rice combo and mom got the 70hkd ramen soup with chicken wings combo. mukhang kukulangin sa rice so we ordered extra rice, 15hkd per order. coke was 22hkd.

next up, we went around the other rides & shows like tarzans' treehouse, buzz astroblasters, space mountain, winnie the pooh, philharmagic, golden mickeys, its a small world, disney parade, etc.

didn't get to see festival of the lion king and stitch encounter this time so meron na namin kami babalikan. yehey!!!

at around 7:30PM, nag umpisa na pumunta ang mga tao sa harap ng castle so sumunod na rin kami. got a nice spot in front and naghintay. maya maya pa nagstart na ang fireworks. it was really really nice. iba talaga ang disneyland, it makes you feel like a kid again. hehe after, nag alisan na yun mga tao. kami naman we went to the souvenir shops to check if meron magandang mabibili. lots of nice toys/souvenirs pero ang mamahal naman so di na rin kami bumili. diretso na kami mtr and went to mongkok to buy i love hk shirts (pansalubong). got a deal for 6shirts for 100hkd. puwede na rin, lumalabas under 100pesos/shirt. saktong pangsalubong lang. at least magagamit talaga ng pagbibigyan namin.

diretso na kami hostel after, bumili ulit ng rice toppings for dinner and rest na for the next day.
