Local Holiday

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Before we left Hong Kong, we always wanted to stay the night at the Hong Kong Disneyland. So before we left for Singapore, we packed up and headed out to Lantau Island. It got off to a great start. They upgraded our room to a suite for free. We then had dinner with the characters, watched the nightly fireworks and then one of the Castmembers read the girls a bedtime story. We woke up the next day and headed off to the park. It was not crowded at all and we hit the new Small World ride and there was no line at all! Beautiful. After a great day at the park, we packed up and caught the subway home. A real good time. Highly recommend it if you have little ones.
