Hong Kong Day 3 - Tsim Sha Tsui

After a super duper tiring day at Hong Kong Disneyland, we have decided that Day 3 should be Free and Easy. We were extremely wrong.

In the morning, we wanted the kids to experience Hong Kong Tramways A.K.A. Ding Ding Tram. It's cheap, very comfortable especially on second floor due to the cold winds and convenient. It goes up and down of Hong Kong Island for the same price.

We stopped a few blocks away from Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and we slowly walked there through the buildings, then along the beautiful seaside walkway. Then we found out that the ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui is there. So we took the ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Upon reaching Tsim Sha Tsui, we took a picture with Chubby Heart by renowned British designer Anya Hindmarch. Then we walked to K11 MUSEA Mall.  @BabyZacToys  offered to carry mom's bag.

K11 MUSEA is a very new mall, just opened in August 2019. The entire mall smells of beautiful sweet vanilla, very pleasant. There are many shops, many eateries, we had a sushi boat at the food court downstairs. Bought some French bread along the way. After that, we explored the mall a bit, and had bubble tea at 6th floor then we went up to 7th floor to two free kids playground, Phoenix (5 and up) and Hen (below 5 years old). Then we stumbled upon Shell's event there and had some fun activities there. Since we decided to stay for the light show at 8pm. We let the kids play at the playground until closing time at 6pm.

Then we waited outside and had our bread. The light show was....hmmmm.... music should be louder. We took the train to Fortress Hill MTR for the super famous dessert shop called Fook Yuen to get some dessert then we went back to hotel by taxi. Dessert was super good!!

You ever think about how the chain has to change their step sizes and like general gait in order to stay together as a group?

Like, I imagine Four walks with purpose. He's a focused lil guy- he's got places to be. But Time's strides have got to be much larger than his. When traveling as a group they must have all had to readjust.

Four and Time side-by-side walk animation but every couple steps Four has to do a skip hop or a lil jog to catch up. Also consider Four walking normally but Time is taking itty bitty steps.

Hong Kong Day 2 - Disneyland

Hong Kong Day 2 - Disneyland

The second day of our trip to Hong Kong was a Friday. We assume going to Hong Kong Disneyland ( 香港迪士尼樂園 | Hong Kong Disneyland ) on a weekday would be better than weekends, at least slightly less people. It's still quite a lot of people but wait times for most rides are alright except for one or two rides.

Disneyland across the world have very similar layout, whether it's Japan, Anaheim etc.,  so it's not too difficult to get around within Disneyland. Most importantly when traveling with kids, we rented a stroller for HKD 150 plus another HKD 100 deposit.

Then we started off with rides in Tomorrowland, wait times are around 15 minutes. Obitron was our first ride, perfect for kids but similar to most amusement parks. Weather was perfect, so it's comfortable. Space Mountain is scary!! I didn't know it was a rollercoaster, I was more scared than my kid @BabyZacToys. Kids enjoyed Ant Man and The Wasp Nano Battle the MOST. We went so many times OMG.... It's a shooting ride where you're given two guns to shoot targets and there is a boss at the back. Wife went to Iron Man as well, it's like a 3D show as if you're Iron Man.

Then we went to World Of Frozen, the Frozen Ever After ride was Fantastic! Perfect for kids! Now both @BabyZacToys and @BabyAsherMak are obsessed with Frozen. Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleighs is a rollercoaster. We had two Mickey Mouse ice creams as well, came with our tickets. After that we had lunch at Royal Banquet Hall. Queue was long as it's supposed to be the most popular one. Food was just ok... Should have tried other options.

After lunch we went to Winnie The Pooh ride called The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was fun, especially for kids. To save time, we took the Disneyland Train to Adventureland to watch The Festival of the Lion King. It was Spectacular! After that we stopped for popcorns, kids have been asking for whole day. Then we visited Tarzan's Tree House, nothing much to us but fun for kids. It's located in the middle of a lake, so we had to take a boat back and forth. Closes at 6pm.

Story Time! Mystic Manor is another popular ride at Hong Kong Disneyland. It's especially fun for kids. But the queue is so long. Even though we just went to the restroom not long before we queued up. When it was about our turn, Zac suddenly wanted to go to the restroom and I know it's difficult for him to keep it until after our ride because the ride may be long. My anxiety levels were off the charts because we have queued for quite long and it was our turn already. Luckily, I had a just finished mineral water bottle in my bag, I found a window of opportunity where our queue area was hidden and I had him relieved himself in the bottle and I threw the bottle away in the trash can right before the ride. That was the biggest relief I felt. So remember, keep a bottle in your bag just in case.

After that we went to Toy Story Land. The Toy Soldier Parachute Drop ride looks fun but my kids were too scared to go on it. I don't even dare to think about the RC Racer ride. So we went on the Slinky Dog Spin. It was fun for kids. After that ride, we went to return our stroller and collect back HKD 100 deposit.  @kharhyen  went to the Space Mountain ride that she missed in the morning because we took turns to take care of kids. She wanted to go to Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars but it was too far. At the same, I took the kids to Ant Man and The Wasp again, for 3 times!

The night ended with the Disneyland Fireworks Closing Ceremony. Super Awesome!

One day many years ago a man walked along and stood in the sound of the ocean on a cold sunless shore and said, "We need a voice to call across the water, to warn ships; I'll make one. I'll make a voice like all of time and all of the fog that ever was; I'll make a voice that is like an empty bed beside you all night long, and like an empty house when you open the door, and like trees in autumn with no leaves. A sound like the birds flying south, crying, and a sound like November wind and the sea on the hard, cold shore. I'll make a sound that's so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and hearths will seem warmer, and being inside will seem better to all who hear it in the distant towns. I'll make me a sound and an apparatus and they'll call it a Fog Horn and whoever hears it will know the sadness of eternity and the briefness of life."
