Hongkong & Disneyland

Finally my holiday started. We had to catch 7am flight and reach the airport at 4am. Huh so early and Aaron still sleeping in the stroller. After checking the bags we decided to have Big Breakfast in Mc Donald. My hubby managed to do his Subuh(Dawn) prayer before boarding the flight. Aaron sleep the whole journey (thanks god!). I told my mom to keep Aaron wake as late as she can the night before. 4 hours journey with AirAsia is horrible. Not sure if other liner good but for sure we not booking with them if the journey more than 2 hours. IMG_0051Express boarding doesn't really make any different in LCCT. I got backpain as the sit can't recline so much. Even our bus sit can recline much more. Oh well you pay cheap ticket so you get cheap service. I can't comment so much.

When we arrived, a bit clueless on which IMG_0050transportation to use to get to the Disney Hotel. But we took the cab as it is easier even thou it cost us HKD 150. Our room is magnificent and comfy. I love the view and very happy with the service. It was raining when we arrive so we rest a bit in the room before we start our journey to Hongkong Island via MTR. Aaron was fascinated with kid bathrobe and slipper.

Our main focus going to Hongkong is to take Aaron to Disneyland so he can meet Mickey Mouse personally. It was fun to see him get IMG_0117 very excited when he saw Mickey Mouse. But he was puzzled when we  enter the souvenir shop as he sees too many Mickey. Some people commented that Aaron too small to enjoy Disneyland but honestly he enjoyed the day. He really have fun watching the Parade and see most of Disney characters alive. On the street he was dancing away enjoying the day and I don't feel trip is a waste. He don't even want to leave the place. So in future plan, we want to ensure we bring him to Disney World in Orlando before he start primary school. It will not be problem to us as my hubby been there and know way around.

Some people know that I'm good in shopping. We do buy a lot of stuff in Ladies Market, Temple Street, Western Market and the IMG_0074alley (LOL). We manage to go to the Victoria Peak but unfortunately it was raining and very cloudy. Barely can see the sunset. We made time to find Chinese Muslim Restaurant and enjoy the food there. We do travel with MTR and thumb up with their MTR system. If you ever get lost in Hongkong than you must be a fool. Being in Hongkong is something like going to Singapore. Their transportation is  very good especially their MTR station. The instruction very straight forward and it is impossible for you to get lost. But you must have a lot of stamina as you need to do a lot of walking. They have Central like our KL Sentral but better system. Everything in one roof. You don't need to go outside to catch another line train like ours (we had to go out of KL Sentral building to catch Monorail). But lack of public restroom. Even in travel guide did mention Hongkong lack of public restroom. If you have to go, please find Mc Donald.

Overall the trip was great but tiring. Aaron barely want to walk so we taking turn to carry him. The trip back is worth while using the express boarding as we are given priority to be in the flight early than the rest so we can get better seat.

I will be downloading most of the pictures at Facebook. The link will be mention below.
