Hello Hong Kong Disneyland!!
The residents of Danau Kaseh had so much fun in Hong Kong Disneyland last week! What a great way to de-stress after so much pressure at work!! Good family FUN! We went at the right time as the weather was perfect: sunny and cool springtime! School holidays in Hong Kong hasn't started yet, so the Park was not congested. We didn't have to queue up for almost all the rides & shows! Perfect timing!
Here's a short summary of our favourites at Disneyland:
Of all the rides, the Space Mountain roller-coaster was the most exciting! The whole ride was in pitch darkness, full of surprising drops, twists & turns. Fortunately there wasn't any loop-da-loop! Images from space like planets, novas & comets flashed by as you go past them in a fast, thrilling ride! We were so proud of Anas as he went on his first ever roller-coaster ride without crying at all! Adlan actually went on the ride 3 times (crazy!) & Adlina went on it twice!
It's A Small World, the world famous boat ride was charming. Lots of effort must have been put into all the colourful & beautiful miniature houses, famous landmarks, figurines, dolls & animals from around the world. It was such a relaxing ride after Space Mountain! Adlan, Adlina & Anas went on the spinning teacup after that, but the rest of us gave it a miss. I felt dizzy just looking at them spinning!
Spinning Teacups - not for mama!
Adlina loved the Autopia as she got to "drive" her own car! I didn't enjoy it too much as Anas drove the car I shared with him and the ride was extremely bumpy. His steering was totally out! Thank God he has 10 more years before he can get his "L" licence :)

Another interesting ride was the Jungle River Adventure. We had to ride through crocodiles, wild animals, head-hunters, piranhas & even a fiery volcano! Don't worry, none of them bite ;) Tarzan's Treehouse was on an island right in the jungle & we climbed up the Treehouse (which was high!). Right at the top, Anas said that he needed to pee immediately (Yikes!!). Thanks to Adlan's empty mineral water bottle, Anas became the first ever person to pee at the top of Tarzan's Treehouse :) I hope no one saw him!
Tarzan's Treehouse - no toilets at the top :)
My personal Favourites are the Live Shows: The Golden Mickeys & Festival of the Lion King. They were superb! The Golden Mickeys was like an Award show which showcased some of Disney's best loved characters like Mulan, Tarzan, Ariel, Woody & Jessie and Beauty & the Beast. The actors were fantastic singing familiar Disney tunes which we sang along. We went for the show twice & still enjoyed it tremendously the 2nd time!
The set of the Lion King was so colourful & impressive!
Festival of the Lion King was set in a circular theatre, more like an arena. The singers were brilliant & the set impressive! Giant elephant and giraffe figures were wheeled in together with Simba the lion. There were flame throwers breathing fire and acrobats suspended from the ceiling! It was such an amazing experience. True Disney magic!

The highlight of Disneyland was the Fireworks set in the background of the castle at 7.30pm prior to closing. I heard about the fireworks before, but it was far better than what I expected. As aptly put by Adlan: the Fireworks were Beyond Awesome. Hakim was at a lost for words when I asked him what he thought of it! The Fireworks were launched in synch with Disney's music and the timing and positioning were all perfectly choreographed. I've always loved fireworks but the one we saw at Disneyland was without a doubt, the BEST one ever! It was Beyond Awesome!
Sleeping Beauty's castle at night was truly breathtaking
Time flies so fast when you're having so much fun. Two days in Disneyland went by too quickly. We checked out of Hollywood Disneyland Hotel and left for Kowloon with a heavy heart on Saturday.
The grounds around Hollywood Disneyland Hotel
was beautiful & perfectly manicured
Goodbye Hong Kong Disneyland! Thank you so much for such a magical experience. So many warm, fuzzy moments & happy memories... (^_^)

Puan, U takde record the fireworks ke?

Raha,
Agaknya diaorang allowed us to bring in food sebab nampak sangat sekeluarga yang tembam-tembam & cepat lapau! I packed sandwiches & hot dog buns for everyone. Belum sempat 12 tengahari dah habis!!
The popcorns were delicious!!! Caramel tebal...
Tati, masa Airasia ada Offer free seats or cheap fares, you book la! I did everything online, even hotel bookings. We made reservations about 3 months ago, memang dapat murah. Kalau tidor kat Hotel in Disneyland (Hollywood Disneyland Hotel is cheaper of the 2), boleh dapat free entrance to the Park on the 2nd day. So, 2 hari la berjalan2 dalam Disneyland!!
Your kids will LOVE it :)
Hasanah,
Doc ada ambik video fireworks tu. You ask him for it. Memang cantik. Tapi kalau tengok real-life lagi BEST! So, better kumpul duit dari sekarang... heehee :)
waaaa.. cuti lagi.. and still tak dapat ikut.. he he... Puan.. Ade penambahan sket kes semalam.. kalau die budak sekolah.. and kaki die patah.. still tak leh claim for the insurans kan??
Hi Aida,
Of course boleh claim insurans kalau dia ada insurans coverage. Ada tak?
Budak sekolah ni accident on the way to school ke?
Insuran coverage die sy tak sure puan.. Maknenye die claim insuran die le eh..tapi.. nape die nak claim atas kereta tu nyer insuran eh.. and the loyar promise can win till 50thousand.. Ha ah.. way to school wore his uniform..
Cuba check dengan sekolah jugak. Sekolah pun ada insurans. Siapa lawyer yang janji tu? I will tell u whether ok ke tak.. Email pada saya ok Aida..
Wow, bestnya....how lucky you are to spend time with your family in Disneyland. FYI, we met before when I was in practice in Malacca for 2 years. May be you dah tak ingat I, it was a long time ago.
Hello Azram,
Which firm were you in masa kat Melaka? When did you leave Melaka? Are you still in practice now? (So many questions! Sori..). Trying to recall..
Thanks for dropping in here ya :)
Kak Dilla,
the teacups, as a long as you dont turn the middle bit, goes at a leisurely pace. It's when the overzealous turn and turn tu yang pening!
Am glad you had a good break. Everyone looked really happy! (mana taknye.. DISNEYLAND!)
Hi Amy,
Sitting in the teacup with OVERzealous Adlan would have been extremely hazardous for me! The teacup was spinning madly! Haha :D
Hope you had a great time-out in Melaka.. Naik beca tak? My kids LOVE the beca ride!
Wah...bestnyer Kak Illa. Happy for you & kids coz dapat pergi sana ramai2 for holiday. Miss u lah!! Lama tak borak2 kan! Will call u once of this days k.
Hello Linda,
Ya lah dah lama rasanya tak jumpa! Nanti akak singgah butik Kaseh some time this week ok?
Wah, orang tu, Rizalman singgah di blognya!! Siap tinggalkan salam lagi :)
K Dilla,
U pargi HK free & easy ke atau ada tourist agent tunggu kita di sana? Berapa hari K Dilla di sana? So excitedlah espcially on Disneyland ni!
Thanks!
Hi Corelle Lover,
Akak pergi hari tu semua booking sendiri melalui internet, tak pakai agent. Adik tunggu masa Airasia ada buat Special Offer on ticket. Tak mahal sangat, tapi kena booking awal. Your kids will love it!
Have fun :)
Previously, I worked in Messrs Andrew T S Goh & Co (may be you know Khairil Aznan & Asha Patel). I was in Malacca for 2 years until 1997. Now, no longer in practice.
Yes, I think I remember you. We met in court right? But you were in Melaka briefly.
Khairil is my batch. Asha is a couple of years our senior. We hardly meet these days actually. I used to live in the same Taman as Khairil.
Anyway, take care. My ultimate dream is to be a stay at home mom :) Seriously.
