The Quetz Travel to Hong kong - Disneyland - At Midday


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.


Our faces while waiting for our food (Mr. Quetz is the one who took this photo, reason why he is not on the frame).


Yummy food " We love it".

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.

After the ride look ..
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.

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.

The Quetz Travel to Hong kong - Disneyland - in the Morning


The main purpose of this trip was to go to Disneyland
as per the Celebrant's request.Because she wants to see the Disney Princess 
on her birthday. Going to cut this blog into three,
so much had happened and want to share with you all the happiness we felt on this place.

And our day begun, we took the train from Tung Chung line 
to Sunny Bay station before transferring to Disneyland Resort Line.
MRT,I guess it's the best way to get to Disneyland as you get to ride the Disney theme train.

Remember  the Harry Potter Movie, is just like that as if you're going to a whole 
new world of enchantment.
The handles,the doors, the windows are of Mickey mouse's head shape 
and it has figurines of Disney characters all over the train.







Transferred in the Disney theme train to Disneyland Resort  Off we go.....


Only Happy faces

Siblings Happy Peg look

Got to have a photo here too..

And we arrived ..


Entrance photo (we gotta have one)

Hey Mister move a little out of the frame pose

We are going there pose

Memes asked, Hey Mommy are we supposed to look down? pose


We took all kinds of pose at the entrance for remembrance  and it's time to go inside the theme park.
Memes at this time doesn't want to walk, she always asked somebody to carry her. 
Then we saw at the entrance that there are baby strollers for rent. Baby strollers and carriages are allowed in the theme park (it's just that we didn't bring hers). However you have to park them on designated areas.Just be cautious,not to leave personal belongings on the strollers as it is not monitored.





Hong kong Disneyland 

The park consists of seven themed areas namely Main Street,USA, Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland,Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point and Toy Story land. However when we went there last April the Mystic Point still not complete, it was open to public only late May 2013. Disney characters has timings, they walk around on their designated park,we are lucky to see first Mickey and Minnie once we entered so we queue and wait for our turn.

High five with the fairy, lucky Memes.

Jessie and Woody

Super Happy face watching the Parade



This what happened to us on one Morning while on Disneyland, the moment we enter the train we feel like we went inside the enchanted World. Everyone of us,remember how this Disney characters helps us or been with us during our childhood.
The happiness they had brought us back then is the same feeling today.

As for my munchkins, mixed emotions overwhelmed with joy seeing the Disney characters becomes alive (life size) and shocked especially for Memes how it happened.
So much excitement, energy was pumped out, I know it's just the parade we saw, what about the rides and the different themes on this park. Still we got a lot more to see and explore. Let me leave you a quote from Mr. Walt Disney " Our greatest natural resource is the minds of the children". In my own words, it means that the children is the future generations, if we guide them to the right path or let just say we allow them to dream, use their imagination to be creative, do good deeds, and make the right choice, we will have a better world. So protect the children physically, spriritaully and mentally.

Flying our hugs and kisses to you all.. Wait there is more of our Disneyland blog.
See you at Midday.
