We had a blast!
Day 1We got on the plane (as per Jill: ca-thay pa-fi-sic, we are still trying to correct her on this) and 3hrs 50 mins later, we arrived in Hong Kong. Took the transport to Disney Hotel, dumped our luggage, freshened up and rushed down to Disneyland, just in time to take photos with the various characters, played Dumbo & Winnie the Pooh, dinner & then fireworks! It was a hectic day & we crashed into bed at about 11pm.
Day 2Slept in a little today as the Park only opens at 10am. Took our time with our buns in the room, then wandered round the hotel a while. It was windy & chilly. But it was good. For people living in hot Singapore, we welcome a little cold with a long sleeve shirt and a sweater. Perfect weather! No queuing in sweltering heat made the day alot more pleasant. The queues were manageable and most rides we got away with at most 10 mins of queueing. The worst ones was probably at Autopia and Slinky Dog where we waited for about 30 mins but that's still considered okay by my standards.
Jilliane had a field day with the rides and a bonus to her was when the gorgeous prince kissed her hand. Oh yes, he was so handsome that even mom and I swooned. Needless to say Cinderella quickly became Jilliane's favourite princess.
Staying in Disney Hotel was simply a fab idea! It didn't come cheap, but at least it allowed me to have a Disney experience for the 1st time in my life, complete with Disney bedtime stories and Disney breakfast.
Day 3And so for Princess Make over, she naturally chose Cinderella. She was damn damn excited about the whole make over process, the make up, the nail painting, the dress, the tiara and all! This is like every little girl's dream come true!
It has been 3 weeks and Jilliane has the memories still firmly etched in her mind. Everyday it's always, "mummy, i want to go disneyland again. I want to sit the small boat and see the baby dolls. I want to sit dumbo. I want to go round and round in the teacup. I want to sit in the dog and chase the tail. I want.. blah blah blah." It just goes on & on. Oh, but she hates the Light Buzz Year ride. Says she's scared of the monsters!
And yes, I tell her we will definitely visit Disneyland again soon, when didi is old enough to join us. Or if she's lucky enough, I may just decide that both mother and daughter will tag along when Dw is in Tokyo for his worktrip and we will head out to Disneysea & Sanrioland! Yipee! Can't wait!
