Disneyland Hong Kong

Friday September 16, 2011

This morning we could of slept in, but no we were all awake by 4:00am with no alarm clock. UGH!! So we got up and got ready for the day, and went down stairs and ate a very expensive buffett breakfast (599.00HKD) about $84.36 US dollars. We won't be doing that again! I guess you live and learn when you go to a foreign country. We then learned how to ride their Metro train at morning rush hour, you    realize very fast how spoiled we are to have the luxury of our own cars. The first thing we noticed was all the young children that ride the train by themselves to school. It really is very sad because you know their day starts out so early and they don't get home till very late. The other thing we noticed was the mass population. Hong Kong isn't a very large city, but has a population of around 8 MILLION people. WOW!!

We then arrived at Disneyland Hong Kong at around 9:30am. The park didn't open til 10:30am. Needless to say we rode the metro with all the workers. We stuck out like a sore thumb in Disneyland. This time we were the foreigners. I'm so glad the Chinese were so nice and helpful and especially that they could speak English pretty well. Disneyland Hong Kong has been open for five years. It is pretty much the same as Disneyland California, just on a smaller scale. It was already decorated for Halloween. It was a very nice day but it was extremely hot and humid. Oh! We did get on Space Mountain. WEEEEEEEEEE! Coleby has really been a trooper, but by the end of the day he is wiped out!  It does really feel weird traveling with only 3 of us. Oh how I miss my other 2 boys and wish they could of came with us. We love you Cody & Collin!!
