Disneyland
-
Err... when I was in Disneyland Tokyo last year, I wasted the ticket. I spent half a day there and decided it was a waste of my time queuing in the maddening crowd. So I spent the rest of the day in the hotel room, and then went to watch Cirque de Soleil at night instead.
The last time I was in Disneyland HK, which was also last year, there were so few rides, and all of them I've tried before in another Disneyland. I got bored again. The layout of HK Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, LA Disneyland are almost the same. In HK, I was also fed-up with the Chinese who kept cutting my queue. However, I did not go home to sleep in HK, I did not waste my ticket. At least I am better with Pu Dong Hua than Nihon-go.
Will I go to either again? Hm, maybe the HK one. Because I found that the value for money factor is better lah. The rooms are better. I stayed in Okura in Japan, it's an old-time Japanese hotel and pretty high class. I had the room free, otherwise, it will be too expensive.
.
Of all the Disney resorts I've been to, I like DisneyWorld in Florida the most, but the flight there is enough to put off the trip. But I will definitely go there again for the Animal Land and the science park like land (forgot the name).
LA Disneyland is so old, but the California park is worth visiting.
Having been to so many Disneylands, I'm actually quite tired of them all. The rides are repeated in one way or another in every country. And, I'd much prefer to sleep than to queue. I find it very tiring and waste of time. Having said all that, I'd still go. Simply because my kids are young only once. I've had my chance at childhood, they deserve theirs.
And, why not? My next destination? Sentosa Universal Studios -
2ppaamm, actually Disney does upgrade their rides and shows. I remember when I was in LA, no Buzz and \"Honey I shrunk my kids\" nor the \"Pooh bear\" ride yet. Then I found them in Tokyo.
Then when at HK, I found the Lilo and Stitch one very memorable and again not seen in my previous trips to the other Disneyland..
So for me, Disneyland does hold its magic for me, either that or I am just being Peter Pan la.... :lol: -

Some differential in every Disneyland when it comes to the ride. But, I found it such a waste of time and money to queue up for those, when majority of the park is just a repetition.2ppaamm, actually Disney does upgrade their rides and shows.

Honey I shrunk my kids were in LA and Florida, mah... Trying hard to remember Lilo and Stitch... was it the talking-show kind of thing? I attended the Pu Tong Hua one!
I told myself I'll not go Disneyland for another 3 years or so. In the last 2 years, I visited Disney resorts 7 times... I had too much of an overload. Time to unload... Queuing up is really something that I don't want to do anymore, especially the Tokyo one. Goodness, where did all the humans come from? I guess it tends to get more crowded in Asia because of the population.
Anyone heard of Shenzhen's Mi Qi Yu Peng You米奇与朋友? That one, I will be more interested in visiting, sans the copyright. Heh heh... -

7 times in 2 years...no wonder.... :lol: I also feel heavy..
I don't like queuing too, waste of time. Not true only of Asia, when I went LA I needed a 2-day pass because alot of waiting to do but that was eons ago. Never heard of Shenzhen's Mi Qi Yu Peng You米奇与朋友, only been to 世界之窗 so far and this one has no rides but all the famous places in mini size. -

Haven't been to Shenzhen for more than 5 years, so not sure of the situation. But definitely want to try something different from Disneyland. -

Have you been to DisneySea? -
Went to Disney sea in Tokyo in august. Can't remember much during the 2 days there except they were spraying water near the restaurant we were eating. Then one one of rides were down . I think it was journey to the centre of the earth or something. I got pretty tired so went home half way. went to see cirque Next door instead.
I've heard rave reviews. But honestly, as long as there is a HUGE crowd, I'm just put off. Asia is so full of people... :lol: -
Re: Tokyo Disneyland
Has anyone been last week of Nov or 1st week of Dec ? How was the weather and crowd situation ? I definitely do not want to waste too much time queing up.
For HK Disneyland, end June to July are typical typhoon months so may get some rain. We’ve been in mid Nov and weather was just mildly cool and also not much crowds. HK summer sales typically July/August and those are super duper HOT months with many ROC crowds too. Avoid if possible. -
