[quote=\"micollh\"]okok.. one more.. mongkok better or tsim sha tsui better? the hotels? for me to go about there like ladies market etc ?

between the two, personally prefer tsimshatsui, more convenient to see places and walk around .... plus my fear factor : the acid pouring from high rise always happen in mongkok

scared scared.. for tsuim sha tsui.. for my 2d2c which one u recommend ?? i cant decide le..[/quote]it depends on your budget and your desired level of comfort (for the wallet or for the room / bed :rotflmao: )

I always recommend The Peninsula, but many people don't agree with me leh

when i book air ticket from singaporeair website, for infant, they ask to choose either \"baby meal\" or \"i will bring my own meal\" either one no extra charges right?

NO extra charge

just that they do have baby meals like those Heinz bottled meals (ready mix), and if your order it, they make sure you are served with priority

some time i an old man also order kid's meal (tired of their standard meal) and you should see the shocked / surprised on their faces --- when I said 'yes, it's me, kid's meal' .... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: they were looking high and low for a kid to be supposedly seated at my seat

but the heinz mushy food where got nice..aiyoo

just to share what i found out. this is given that u confirm going to OCean park on that day. you can book the admission ticket from asiatravel.com instead, it’s cheaper. adult only HKD225 instead of buying at OC itself at HKD 280 and child only HKD 113 instead of HKD 140…

verykiasu2010, i’ve book my tickets via SIA. really no need to fill passport wor… then, they already emailed the e-ticktes to me… should be ok i think. i’ve chosen my seats for departure day flight. the returning’s day flight, i cant book seat ? or how to ?

confused :scratchhead: u 'have chosen the seats' for departure and returning and u 'cant book seat'???

[micollh]

yeah cos there is no option to choose seats for returning wor…later i call SIA … by the way, the park royal u book, u choose 2 adults nia or 2 adults+ 1 kid? i scared not enough space to sleep… now haven book town hotel cos still not sure whether tsim sha tsui or mongkok… tsim sha tsui many good hotels not available funny lor, the date i go is off peak wor… and they dun allow 3 people in a room(my in laws coming)

[micollh]

i booked hong kong disneyland online… but funny after confirmation, no email ? need to call to check?

[mambobb]

For the royal park hotel, i book under 2A1C.. they don't allow me to book until 2kids. I looked up their website for the room pic and most of them are Queen size.. which should be enough space for 1A1C to sleep bah.


I am thinking to double confirm with the counter during check-in for 2 double beds.

Some hotels dont allow 3A to stay in a room.

Oriental Lander Hotel (Mongkok) offers Triple.
Royal Plaza (Mongkok) offers Family room.

You can check thru the various hotel online booking websites to search by 3 Adults 1 Child room.

For Disney, they will send you email to confirm. U have to wait.. their reply is slow. Must give them 1-2days to reply. still no reply then you either call or send them email thru customer service. that was what I did.. heehee.. i didnt call them up as its oversea call.. extra charge.. :oops:
