The Chewys’ Hong Kong Disneyland 2017 Trip

PB090213

Hola chewy friends! This is gonna be a photo heavy post on our two days (8th & 9th November 2017) in Hong Kong Disneyland! I had previously reviewed the newest hotel in Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Disney Explorers Lodge, and you can read about it here.

Many of our friends thought that we were crazy beyond words to book a 7.30am flight to HK, especially since we were taking Little misschewy and Mini misschewy with us. It was actually my idea and when I sounded misterchewy out prior to purchasing our air tickets, he was totally up for the challenge. LOL. Yup, we left our house at 4.30am to head to the airport. I wanted Disneyland to be the first stop of our HK trip and planned to reach there as early as possible so that we could make the most out of our admission tickets!

PB080075

We spent a considerable amount of time in our hotel room when we checked in at Disney Explorers Lodge but luckily, I still remembered to perform my timekeeping duties. Hehe. When we reached the park, it was around 2pm which wasn’t too bad considering we reached HK airport at 11.30am!

PB080077

Plenty of “distractions” once you enter the park. Gotta focus! Haha.

We first passed by Mickey and Minnie at Town Square, Main Street, U.S.A and was appalled to see the long, snaking queue of fans, which actually shouldn’t really come as a surprise since they are Disney’s most popular couple! Just a few metres away, we spotted Donald and Daisy! There was a queue too but it looked manageable so we joined in without hesitation.

PB080086

It’s really sweet that the mascots interact with the fans. Little misschewy was shy but after we had our photographs taken, she kept saying “Daisy Duck hugged me!”

We were really lucky because the queue for Duffy and Stella Lou was quite short too!

PB080097

It is easy to miss Market House Bakery, so be sure to keep a look out because there are plenty of goodies to fill your hungry tummies!

PB080094

Just look at those Donald Duck and Winnie the Pooh donuts! Cuteness overload! We bought one and I wanted to take a nice photo under natural light but Little misschewy just wouldn’t allow me. LOL.

PB080098

It was time for the Flights of Fantasy parade but we gave it a miss because our plan was to watch it the next day. Since most people were watching the parade along Main Street, U.S.A., it was a splendid time for us to go for as many popular attraction rides as possible!

PB080106

Our first ride was Orbitron at Tomorrowland. We queued for about 5 minutes only!

PB080104

Have you seen anyone eating while on a flying saucer ride?

PB080110

PB080108

Try your hand at one of the game stalls if you visit HK Disneyland!

PB080111

I have always enjoyed It’s a Small World since my first ride at Tokyo Disneyland many years ago!

PB080126

Sing along to the classic anthem of world peace during a musical boat tour hosted by the children of the world. Climb aboard a cozy boat and set sail along the Seven Seaways canal for an approximate 9-minute journey.

PB080115

It was hard to take photos because of the dim lighting and there was plenty of movement from the singing and dancing dolls, and also the boat ride. Taking videos would be a better idea!

PB080120

Due to routine maintenance and inspection, It’s a Small World will be temporarily suspended from January 3 to 16, 2018.

PB080127

When we were in Fantasyland, we grabbed FastPass tickets for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!

PB080129

PB080163

Another highly recommended ride for young children! The four of us shared a Hunny Pot and were taken through a colorful, song-filled storybook wonderland!

PB080142

As it was quite some distance to walk to the Baby Care Centre at Main Street, Mini misschewy and I managed to find an empty bench near Mad Hatter Tea Cups which was temporarily suspended during the time of our visit. A baby’s gotta drink when a baby’s gotta drink!

In the meantime, misterchewy and Little misschewy went for the Cinderella Carousel which looks even more stunning at night.

Boy, were we famished after a long day! Early dinner beckoned at the Royal Banquet Hall.

PB080169

This medieval dining hall serves American, Japanese and Chinese specialties. Be spoiled for choice as you choose from four food stations — Grill, Japan, Guang Dong and International.

I had the Japanese Curry Pork Chop Bento (HK$139). The portion was quite huge! Food tasted mediocre but still acceptable.

PB080179

The hubs chose the Baked Pork Chop with Rice Combo (HK$129) so that Little misschewy could share some of his food which was non-spicy.

PB080148

We bought the 3-in-1 meal coupon which includes an ice cream or popcorn.

PB080146

Just look at these! How cute!

PB080153

Decided it was a good time to squeeze in a bit of shopping before the night time parade! So in love with the new Disney character, Stella Lou!

Continued shopping before fireworks began!

Called it a day after watching “Disney In The Stars” Fireworks!

We were ready to conquer Disneyland again on our second day! Dedicated about 1.5 hours in the morning for a photoshoot which I will blog about in a separate post!

Time to reward ourselves with some food and it was lunch time anyway! Love the Explorer’s Club Restaurant at Mystic Point!

Both kids were asleep so we queued for Mickey and Minnie!

Isn’t this such a sweet photo?

We skipped the night time parade and fireworks on the second day since we had already experienced both the day before. Did some last minute shopping along Main Street!

The Chewys’ Family Trip to Hong Kong Day Three

DSCF6521

As opposed to Australian Dairy Company which had been featured in my previous post, I was quite keen to try Capital Cafe at Wan Chai! This place also seems very popular and has garnered more positive reviews online.

DSCF6520

We arrived pretty early and got a table almost immediately.

DSCF6515

DSCF6517

DSCF6510

Scrambled eggs with black truffle! It was a pretty generous amount of black truffle shavings and the scrambled eggs were very creamy! It’s seriously damn good la.

DSCF6511

We also ordered the Condensed Milk Bun which was very sweet but we like!

DSCF6536

Next up we went for dim sum at two Michelin star Sun Tung Lok at Miramar Shopping Centre. We were not that hungry so we only ordered a few dishes to share.

DSCF6533

DSCF6555

Spent some time shopping at Harbour City! Seriously all the super atas brands are there!

DSCF6560

DSCF6552

At Toys R Us!

DSCF6562

Afternoon tea at Intercontinental Hong Kong! They don’t accept reservations but we managed to get a table. Be there extra early if you want a table that gives you unobstructed view of the harbour! It’s really lovely! This is the Afternoon Tea Set for Two that we had. About SGD$130 to $140. We don’t usually spend money like this back in Singapore but since we are travelling, must enjoy right!

We saved a couple of scones for Little misschewy because she loves them.

DSCF6609

DSCF6624

We wanted to try Star Cafe and thanks to the help we found online, all we had to do was to look out for this neon signboard that says Dadol Hotel.

DSCF6622

Walk straight ahead and take the stairs down.

DSCF6621

I tried the Tomato noodles with pork chop. The tomato gravy was a bit watered down but the taste was still quite robust. This proved to be quite a comforting bowl nevertheless! Highly recommended!

That’s all for Day 3! Stay connected with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 🙂
