After the activity in the morning we are all famish, the nearest restaurant we could find is the Maxim's. Actually there was a long queue and we have to wait for our table, however we didn't mind as we are too tired to walk and to look for another place.
In addition to that, queue means people love their food so we got to try this restaurant.
And when we finally got our seat, energy low and really hungry.This is the time that we found out it's a Chinese restaurant, food is similar back home and to our taste bud likings. Their presentation of food was nice,there was somebody with the small food cart going around and you can take what you want, we took all kinds of dumplings there. However as we are hungry and excited to eat ,we are unable to take pictures.We enjoy our meal and our tummy satisfied.

After a sumptuous lunch, we continue to explore. Energized and ready for our afternoon adventure. Next stop will be the FantasyLand. We have to go through the inspired Sleeping beauty castle, which is the gateway to FantasyLand. Guests can be of any age and height.

The Cinderella Carousel ride was amazing, yes I know looks like for children however when you are in the carousel you will relive your Disney animated film Cinderella through the hand painted vignettes around the core of the carousel. We felt like we are royalties.
Next ride is Giant tea cups a.k.a. Mad Hatter tea cups ride.
You get to choose from the pastel colors of the giant tea cups to ride. The teacups holds 4 people and you can control how you spins it. The cups swirl atop, three separate turn tables which are mounted in the middle of the cup (see photo below).

It's a Small World
It is actually a boat ride where children around the world singing the song "It's a small World". Travel to the 7 continents, see and experience a rainbow of diverse cultures of
locales children from the North Pole, Europe, Middle East, Africa, America, Asia, Pacific Islands and the Rain forest.At the end of the journey you will see for yourself that indeed it's a small world after all. During your travel look out for some of the Disney characters as well. The Hong kong Disneyland score features four Chinese instruments namely the Xiao, the Guzheng , the Pipa, and the Erhu. This version adds four new languages to the song like Cantonese, Putonghua, Korean and Tagalog. The Cantonese lyrics were originally written more than 30 years ago by the lyricist James Wong for a Disney musical in Hong Kong. Original composer of the song 'It's a small World" is the award winner Robert Sherman.
