Make sure to watch my World of Frozen video too where I go more in-depth about this new area at Hong Kong Disneyland! ua-cam.com/video/z6RZeW37Hdo/v-deo.html
Hong Kong Disneyland is one of the most underrated parks in the Disney Parks lineup. Although it still only has one park, and they couldn’t even expand their second gate because of the quarantine facilities; they still have managed to improve their rides, activities and shows to keep the park alive. World of Frozen is still a big hit, and Momentous is just outstanding and phenomenal. Besides, they have the one and only Mystic Manor, which is one of the top Disney dark rides! As always, what a great vlog of showing Hong Kong Disneyland’s glory✨✨ Great job Chris!
I think they made it into quarantine site because Dinsey did not purchase the land by the deadline, not the other way around. The HK gov reserved the land for Disney to purchase at $2.6 Billion (might have increased due to inflation) for 20 years since 1999, but because of the park's low attendance, Disney didn't feel like it was a worthy investment and did not get the land when the time come. So by 2020 when the offer expired, it was used for quarantine just because it was a huge empty land (extremely rare in HK). But these quarantine sites really are just glorified sheds that could be taken down easily in a week, and I think the fact that the HK gov did not turn the land into anything more substantial even after the deadline has passed shows their willingness to work with Disney still. So if Disney wants to build a second gate there, I don't think they would run into any problem (so fingers crossed!)
@@MaHelena The Hong Kong government has a greater power to make decisions that would impact the park’s future. For what I know now, the government doesn’t seem to care about the land anymore, and they are giving more effort on political and economic matters. They just put those facilities there, and they said that they may use them if a pandemic strikes the city again. I don’t know why they do that, but I definitely think that giving the land back to Disney is better than using it for the quarantine facilities.
Tiana in Mickey & the Wondrous Book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Her segment is my favorite in the show. Thank you for the great video! It's bringing back so many memories
I was feeling a little low after hearing some sad news - this was just the thing to lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories. I’m totally digging the uplifting Christmas entertainment in front of the castle!
I need to go to this park and Tokyo and will then have visited all the Disney parks in the world - can't wait to visit someday soon! The prices of food and snacks there is a bit eye opening!
Imaginerreing went with the Anaheim plan, instead of the world Plan. the castle received a major update during COVID., and became the "Princess Castle" before it looked like Anaheims.
Very excited to watch your vlogs about Hong Kong as I am taking my daughter to visit her first Disney park and thought HKDL was the perfect place to start! I visited HKDL back when it was very new in January 2008 so I’m super excited to be seeing it again and experience the wonderful expansions to lands and rides they’ve made since then!
Hi Chris, I think you just accidentally called Stella Lou as Lina Bell in some of the merch? Anyway, I'm coming to Hong Kong in May this year because of the World of Frozen. Been binge watching your disney vlog ever since. All of the information I'm looking for are available in most of your vlog videos. Love your walk through and I'm so excited about my time in HK Disneyland this time since my last visit in 2017. Aside from the World of Frozen, I'm also looking forward to see the new Disney castle. Hopefully during my visit, the park is not full with people so I can really enjoy my time there. Keep up the good work Chris. I always looking forward to your other vlogs for sure.
Most things are Hong Kong Disneyland are in English to a certain degree. Hong Kong is the most accessible Disney Resort in Asia for English speakers in my opinion. I loved the sweet potato ice cream, I want more! Thank you for watching
I just wanted to tell you that you have such cozy vibes and I really enjoy your videos! Idk why but watching your videos at the end of the day make me comfy ❤
@@BondforgedSky Just like “It’s Wondrous” was written for California Disneyland and “Brand New Day” was written for Tokyo Disneyland’s 35th anniversary, “Happily Ever After” was written for Hong Kong Disneyland’s 10th anniversary back in 2015. I can see why Florida would use it though since it’s so good.
As a fellow Canadian, just wanted to drop by and say Hi and thank you for sharing all your theme park adventures. We love all the food and merch that you shared. Also, we were just at the HK disney 2 weeks ago. We saw almost everything except the Mickey Wondrous Book was closed. Guess it closes during the slower times right after Chinese New Year.
I watched the whole video with a friend on video call just a couple days ago, and I noticed you were at the parks November 17th -- I was on vacation in HK 27th-29th! I missed you by, like, 10ish days. But man, it would've been so cool to have met you at the park
I have that Monsters Inc wreath got it on clearance at Character Warehouse here in Florida for like $20 - I use it twice once at Halloween and then at Christmas
I'm going to visit around the same time in November this year. But isn't there a Lion King performance in November, the early days of preparing for Christmas?
Thank you for watching! Yeah, Duffy and Friends are at Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland! The merchandise is different from Tokyo DisneySea.
@@tdrexplorer TDR to me still reigns on top imho. but thank you for the content now i know what to expect if i make a detour to the hong kong and shanghai parks
To be honest, I dont know why the filming and the upload time took 4 months. If one of the goal was to provide an update of HKDL, quite sad that this is 4 months outdated from filming to upload/release. I think you can do much better on content upload real time. Just saying. Still, I watched the video though.

Yes, that’s another good one. Plus, you get the cute costume Disney bounding full effect. ;)
I still can’t believe how quickly they added height to the castle and have put so many new rides into the park.
I live in Hong Kong and literally I love HK Disneyland like this is so beautiful and magical
I love what they did with the Castle, it's so unique. I did a video a while back showing the castle in detail. ua-cam.com/video/Xd8dB-h91Lc/v-deo.html
@@tdrexplorer so true are you still in Hong Kong ,I wanna meet you so bad
@@tdrexplorer thanks!
@@tdrexplorer I didn’t realize the HK castle transformation was done in time for the 15th anniversary. Thanks for the link and info.

These uplifting holiday sights were just the thing my dreary, rainy March day needed to make everything feel better and bright!

how cute how hong kong disneyland and CA disneyland look so similar from the front! so excited for this video
I love Hong Kong Disneyland so much! Thank you for watching
I was just going to comment this, it surprised me so much!!
Imaginerreing went with the Anaheim plan, instead of the world Plan. the castle received a major update during COVID., and became the "Princess Castle" before it looked like Anaheims.
Perfect timing, I'm going to HKDL for the first time next week so this got me extra excited! I love all of your park day videos!
Have fun! Thank you for watching

I always look forward to your videos!! Such a delight to watch, and your joy is contagious. Greetings from Bosnia! 😊
I soooo love the rides at the World of Frozen and the soft serve ice cream too😊
I never realized the shows were in English. I'm glad the sweet potato ice-cream was good, it looks delicious!

I love how everyone waits to see the characters. ❤❤❤ We all need that magic. Agree with you 100% about Mystic Manor.
I love hkdisneyland. It's not as big as the other parks but there's a satisfying feeling of being able to complete the park in one day.
I just wanted to tell you that you have such cozy vibes and I really enjoy your videos! Idk why but watching your videos at the end of the day make me comfy ❤
I love cozy vibes! I agree! Such a sweetheart ❤
One of my favorite Memories of Hong Kong Disneyland was the "festival of Lion King" show. That was in 2011.
That's a fantastic show. I saw it on one of the days I wasn't filming this trip. Always a must.
Either I never notice but I love that you put the temp & date on the top right of the video for a sec, thank you for doing that.
Went there with my mum for a full day back when we were in Hong Kong in November
A super fun and nostagic trip, and I had a great time!
Stella Lou! 🐰 Put some respect on her name 😂 It’s all good I know it was just a slip of the tongue, thank you for showing us. 💖
hi Chris I love all the Duffy and friends merch the sweet potato ice cream looked good too is good to see christmas videos in march 🐇
Thank you for your beautiful vlogs! Love getting them!
Thanks for coming to Hong Kong! Come back anytime!!!!!!!!!!!!😊
Thanks! 😃
Was not expecting to hear the theme from Happily Ever After in that Mickey show
Happily Ever After first appeared in this show in 2015 before it was at the Magic Kingdom! Fun little fact. The song is so good.
@@tdrexplorer Really!? Did not know it was that old

Was there the same day! HKDL was great, really miss it. Nostaglic for those Duffy Doughnuts
awwwww amazing video i havent been to Hong Kong Disney . Aww amazing .
8:32, I need that water bottle so bad, it’s soooo cuteee😞❤️🩹

Gonna watch this video .. We are planning to visit HK and Macau at this Dec 2024 .. Can't wait to experience Christmas in Disney HK

Oh no! I'm sorry we missed each other. Hopefully next time you're at the parks I'm there at the same time!
christmas time already is crazy like whattt easter hasn’t even passed
I believe the stitch card holder you showed before the snow globe, the front "present" area is probably for airpods :P or honestly anything
I have that Monsters Inc wreath got it on clearance at Character Warehouse here in Florida for like $20 - I use it twice once at Halloween and then at Christmas
I have been to Hong Kong Disneyland before with my children
I'm going to visit around the same time in November this year. But isn't there a Lion King performance in November, the early days of preparing for Christmas?
omg the songs are in english ?! I thought they will be in cantonese, amazing!
I went to HK Disneyland before COVID and loved it. I still think about the dried squid and bottled watermelon juice from the snack stands.
The watermelon juice is heavenly. I got some at the hotel.
I’m gonna go there on my birthday! 🥳 🎉
I love the Christmas decorations so cute !!!
Thank you for watching!
Now I have to plan a trip to Hong Kong.
Cool. I didn't realize Duffy merch is sold outside of DisneySea.
Thank you for watching! Yeah, Duffy and Friends are at Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland! The merchandise is different from Tokyo DisneySea.
i live in orlando and yes ive seen alot of those ornaments here at wdw.
Can I just ask.. do you get splashed on the Forever after ride? Not sure if I wanna explore Disneyland with wet shoes >
you said it was 73 degrees in November (when you were filming) is that because China´s summer our Winter? (on the east cost USA)
You keep calling StellaLou as Linabell 😅 but I love all those merchs, so adorable.
The music for the magical book show is similar to the happily ever after fireworks show. Was it always like that? And WDW copied it?
I’ve seen a lot of the same ornaments in California Adventure at the World of Color store!
Nice! Thank you
Is everything in English at HK Disney? I know in Japan it’s all in Japanese
For HK Disneyland, do we need to download any apps to navigate around the park like the one in Tokyo?
no~ it’s relatively small i believe, summary is a bit too hot, better come in Autumn
I’m thinking of going in December. How busy is it compared to Tokyo’s Disney parks?
Hong Kong is almost always more quiet than Tokyo. So you should be fine.
Hong Kong is my FaceTime live
$70HKD is about $10 USD
Wow food there is more expensive than the US parks!!
Had no idea how English friendly this park is!
How is it christmas already?!
Hong Kong is where I live
Shanghai disneyland please
Chris did two videos about Shanghai Disneyland in December:
ua-cam.com/video/TZjniKN4bvY/v-deo.html

My brain is confused 🤯 why is it Christmas in March?
It says in the video this video was filmed in last November
Why is there christmas stuff allready ?
My aunt got me jasmine Christmas decoration
Awesome!
Will you go to Disneyland in California again?
Yep!
@@tdrexplorer ok, just wondering there’s a new big hero six section at DCA just wanted to let you know
HKD100 = USD12 as of Q1 of 2024
Have been on juge case
👌👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
the food is shockingly expensive for being an asian disney park. quite interesting. will keep that in mind.
Yeah, Hong Kong and Shanghai are quite pricy (closer to US Parks).
@@tdrexplorer TDR to me still reigns on top imho. but thank you for the content now i know what to expect if i make a detour to the hong kong and shanghai parks
bro orderd hot chocolate and was upset it tasted like hot chocolate 🤣
oh, mystic manor..... I would give anything to go on that stupid ride lmao id absolutely go there just to experience it! 😪
Hong Kong Disneyland? More like Hong Kong Duffyland. Just too much Duffy it's ridiculous lol

It’s long overdue for a Pokemon/Nintendo Store video 😁😁😁
