Hong Kong: Disneyland

Living abroad you know that your children are going to be missing experiences that you had as a child.  This is hard, but the trade-off is they are having adventures that you never dreamed of when you were young. Lucky for us, Disneyland is not one of those trades.  Being the main reason of us to go to Hong Kong, it was the perfect American experience I had a child. 

For gifts we are finding that giving an experience means more then a physical item.  It is also a lot easier to give to someone who is not living in the same timezone.   That is how our adventure began.  Wade's parents knew HK Disneyland was on my must see list, so they made it happen.  The kids knew we were going to Hong Kong, but they had no idea what was there.

Once we got off the subway stop at Disneyland it started to click with Amelia.  We thought for sure would figure it out before, but the surprise never revealed its self.    We started walking towards the entrance and she stopped and says "Are we at Disneyland?"  With our yes, the smile didn't stop for the two days we were there.

Poor Liam was not allowed on some of the ride because he was too small.  Here he is waiting for Amelia and me to get off Space Mountain.

HK Disneyland is the smallest of all the Disney's, but the most perfect for young kids.  It was not too busy, we made it on all the major attractions and the kid's little legs were able to navigate through the different lands.  Liam's highlight was riding Dumbo and the Winnie the Pooh ride, while Amelia's was seeing the Princess and riding the roller coasters.

Toy Story was also a hit for Liam.
