The Happiest Place on Earth

Finally... my first Hong Kong post!

Moments after landing in Hong Kong, our first stop was Disneyland! It actually worked out really well because we were able to get night tickets and since the park is so small it was the perfect amount of time to do everything. It was also the kick off to their Halloween themed park! All of the characters were dressed in Halloween outfits, there were zombies roaming around Main Street, special 3-D fireworks, and the most evil villain of all time, Maleficent, took over the park.

Gretchen used to be a character at Disneyland and one of her lifelong goals is to visit all of the Disney Parks in the world. Gretchen to Maleficent is like me to Elphaba. She's obsessed. Hong Kong Disneyland had all of the classic rides like It's a Small World (my favorite!), Space Mountain, Dumbo, the Teacups, and the new Buzz Lightyear ride. The best part about it was that the park was nearly empty so we never had to wait in line. I had a great time and it was the perfect start to our Hong Kong journey.

Welcome to HK Disneyland!
