Hongkong: Exploring the City on Day 2

Parliamentary Center - Lantau Island - HK Disneyland


Our DIY tour started at 7am.,had breakfast at the hostel, rode the MTR to TST station to have a few walks to the Harbourfront to see the morning view of the harbor and the Clock Tower.






Then we rode another line bound to Tung Chung Station with a connecting line to Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal.


Enjoying the breathtaking view of the Lantau Island during the 40 minutes Cable Car.


We opted the private Crystal Cabin to experience the astonishing view of the grassland slopes and the boundless rivers overlooking from above

We had lunch at the village before proceeding to our HK Disneyland tour



Took the return trip Cable Car experience and the connecting MTR from Tung Chung station to Sunny Bay station. Then we switch to Disneyland Resort line for our next stop.




Entrance to the Disneyland resort..yeyyy!!



Finally!!!!


Riding the Disney train at Main Street. We started our tour in meeting our favorite Disney Characters!


Winnie the Pooh: )


Mickey Mouse: )


Minnie Mouse: )


The Princesses: )


Tinkerbell: )


Now we're heading to Main Street to witness the Parade of Stars. I felt a touched of home during the parade because I came to know that most cast at the parade production are my fellow Filipinos. One even greeted me in our local language when I was trying to take a photo of him..that's so nice!










These group of musicians are mostly Filipinos..I'm really proud to be Pinoy!












After the parade, we spend the rest of the day with a leisure walk to Fantasyland, Adventureland, Sleeping Beauty Castle, Tomorrowland and It's a Small World.








These are what you will see inside the Small World..little dolls dancing and singing, each part represents the national costumes of different nationalities and the song's language differs according to each nationality.




"Goodbye" in different languages..at rightmost part includes the Philippines: )


and we watched Mickey's Philhar Magic in 3D

  

We also tried the mini safari at Tarzan's haven..









At night, we just dined and waited for the fireworks show Disney in the Stars..unfortunately, my camera's battery gone out of life so I haven't taken a single pic of the show..how frustrating!!

And we call it a day! Going back to Mongkok to shop for souvenirs at the Ladies' Market and packed up for tomorrow's last HK tour and Macau escapade.
