Ultra Cool Mama

We left for Hong Kong on Wednesday. Had ‘Ju-pa Bao’ (pork-chop burger) before we left for the ferry. It absolutely a must try when you are in Macao.*check my food blog*The journey to Hong Kong was an adventure in itself! Greg and I felt like we were on The Amazing Race All the getting on and off the ferry, going to Immigration and travelling on the MTR is no joke. And we did this all the two kids,2 prams, 1 check-in case and baby bags. By the time we were finally in Disneyland, Greg and I were so ready to pass out!When we checked-in at was about 5pm. Thought we will get into the park to scout the place and grab some dinner so that Aiden can get a preview of the park,since the package that we bought (Hong Kong Disneyland Stay and Play Package) includes free entrance for the following day when you buy the first day ticket and staying for two nights. To our dismay we found out that the park closes at 8pm and only opens at 10am. So it’s really no point going in that day and we are checking out the day after already(check out time is at 11am). Which means we’ll only have time for 1 day in the park. We were quite disappointed and there was nothing much we could do then as we already bought out ferry tickets back to Macao. I think their timing is a bit weird.Check-in time – 3pm onwardsCheck-out time – 11am (anything more they’ll charge accordingly)Park opens- 10am Park closes- 8pmSo anyone of you out there thinking about going, make plans accordingly to save you any inconvenience.So in the end we had dinner in the hotel (we were at the Hollywood Hotel), walked around the hotel and went back to our room. The room is okay, we asked for double beds, so there were plenty of room. Caitlyn had a baby cot for herself,so that’s cool too.Aiden was delighted to find the TV programs had all his favorite Disney Playhouse in 4 different languages! We were very amused by the Banana in Pajamas dubbed in Cantonese…very cute. We had an early night… charging up for tomorrow.The next day we got up bright and early. Even Caitlyn was all charged up! We had breakfast on Mainstreet in Disney. The pancakes and waffles were all in Mickey and Minnie’s shapes. First stop was Tomorrowland. The ques weren’t too bad that day. *phew* Greg and I took turns to take Aiden for the rides. He even went for the Space Mountain rollercoaster ride! (his first) Well…he will surely remember his Disney trip now. I was so worried..he only just made it above the line..like 2mm! (Aiden is taller then most kids his age) Even the attendant had to measure him twice to make sure. I went for the ride before in other Disneys..it’s quite scary ok. When I asked the attendant if it’ll be ok for him,if there were any loopy-loops? She answered me casually “Oh, no, but there’s a part that charges down from 6 stories high.” Ah.. too late, Aiden and Greg was already inside. I was worried for both of them now…Greg is not too good with rollercoasters as well. Ha! Ha! True enough, when thay came out Aiden’s face was quite pale and Greg was feeling sick.

So no more rides with ! on it from then on. The rest of the park was ok. Aiden really enjoyed himself that day. Even Caitlyn went for some of the rides too. Both of them were sooo tired, around 6pm, both of them were sleeping in their prams already. Aiden slept through the parade and we were parked next to the loudspeaker! Guess he must be really tired. Because it’s already Christmas theme when we were there the Sleeping Beauty’s Castle was lighted up with fairy lights. It’s really gorgeous, and with the finale of the day, they had a fireworks show over the castle. Very, very nice Even mommy and daddy enjoyed it very much.

It’s was a perfect day indeed… Aiden thanked daddy for taking him to Disneyland… so cute. We all had fun.
