Mickey and Minnie
...and Hannah, Jen, Fiona and JillToday was filled with the commercial escapism that is Hong Kong Disneyland!!
A day filled with Disney magic and show tunes! The MTR train to the park even had Mickey mouse shaped windows!
It was a brilliantly sunny day, so we were in good spirits walking round the park, meeting Mickey and Minnie, trying on lots of Disney merchandise/being silly really!
There were all the usual rides like Mad Hatter tea cups, a carousel, and Space mountain, and we watched the 'Golden Mickey's' and the Lion King show. Not a high thrill ride kind of park, but a fun day out, to remember all the songs from years ago, and the characters we used to want to be!
The fireworks show at the end was really good, and a fitting end to the day....it's all about the 'magic of Disney' and I was lulled into that false sense of 'Disney' where everything in the world is perfect, and everybody is happy and smiles all the time! It was very stereotypical Disney, and aside from some Chinese subtitles/shows, and a Chinese Merlin, I probably could have been anywhere. The main street was still called 'Main Street USA', and the
Disney MTR
Only Disney...yes this is a train! others were 'Tomorrow Land' 'Fantasy Land' and 'Adventure Land'.
Regardless, I had a brilliant day and fully enjoyed the magic of Disney!!
Back to reality, I'm now back in crowded Mongkok, and have to go to work tomorrow!
Love Jen x
