Hong Kong Disneyland Resort – Overall Opinion

Now, onto my overall opinion of the Hong Kong Disney Resort.

The two hotels are wonderful and the service is outstanding. The ONLY complaint I had with the resort is that you cannot charge purchases made at Disneyland to your room. This policy needs to be changed.

The surrounding grounds and roadways are beautiful – just like you’d expect from a Disney resort. The walkway between the Disneyland Hotel and Disneyland is very pleasant and the bus transportation is efficient.

Hong Kong Disneyland is a nice, LITTLE park. From what I’ve read, it can be expanded and I hope this is correct. It definitely needs some more attractions. But it doesn’t need “off-the-shelf” rides.

I believe that Disney built “Disney’s California Adventure“ and the “Walt Disney Studios Paris“ as cheaply as they could. I don’t feel that way with Hong Kong Disneyland. This park has much better “bones.” Nothing looks cheap here as it does in the two afore mentioned parks. Over the years, if Disney continues to add good attractions, this park can take its place as a top-notch Disney destination, but I don’t think it’s quite there yet.

Hong Kong is a magnificent city! I would highly recommend visiting this fascinating place. And if you’re reading this blog, you’re obviously a Disney fan. So if you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong anyway, you should definitely add and extra day to see Disneyland. But I would not recommend the 14 ½ hour plane trip (Chicago to HK) just to see Disneyland.

Here is MY raking of Disney’s eleven parks:

1. Tokyo Disney Sea
2. Disneyland Paris
3. Disneyland California
4. Epcot
5. Tokyo Disneyland
6. Magic Kingdom
7. Animal Kingdom
8. Disney’s Hollywood Studios
9. Hong Kong Disneyland
10. Disney’s California Adventure
11. Walt Disney Studios Paris
