Hong Kong Disneyland Travel Guide

If you're visiting Hong Kong then you just might as well visit Disneyland or it is probably one of the main reason why you're in (want to go to) Hong Kong, or if you are reading this then you might have already read my magical Disneyland experience (if you haven't read it yet click here).

In this post, I will be sharing the directions on how to get to Hong Kong Disneyland and other frequently asked questions.

Many budget friendly hotels are located in Tsim Sha Tsui area. In our case, MTR was just few walks away from our hotel so it was very convenient for us. We allotted our whole second day for Disneyland only so we woke up early went there just few minutes right after they open and stayed up until the fireworks display. Here's the directions on how to get to Disneyland from Tsim Sha Tsui:

The fare is HK$19 - oneway (deducted from the Octopus card)

WHAT TIME DOES THE PARK OPEN

The park opens everyday from 10:00 AM to 8:45 PM. Please take note that the schedule may change anytime so I suggest that you check the park's schedule on their official website (click here) first before going or planning your trip. Also, some attractions may open late or close early so if you want to visit them all make sure to check the schedules online. 

HOW MUCH DOES THE TICKET COST AND WHERE TO BUY

There are two types of tickets and you can purchase depending on your choice/need. If you're planning to explore the park in just a day, you can purchase a 1-Day Ticket:Standard Day or if you need two days to explore this magical kingdom you can purchase a 2-Day Ticket. 

1-Day Ticket:Standard Day Cost

HK$539 : General Admission (Ages 12-64)

HK$385 : Child (Ages 3-11)

HK$100 : Senior (Ages 65 above)

For online purchase: Standard Day Tickets are valid for one visit during a 6-month validity period from the purchase date. Standard Day Tickets are valid on all dates during the validity period. 

2-Day Ticket Cost

Where to Buy Tickets

There are two ways to purchase a ticket, first is you can purchase from the ticket booths located at the park second is through online (credit card payment). Ticket prices are the same but the only advantage of purchasing online is that you don't have to wait on the line, just go directly to the ticket booth and claim your actual Park ticket. Guests must be the authorized holder of the credit card used in the Website purchase. Guests need to present the credit card used in the Website purchase together with the confirmation number issued for the Website purchase to redeem the purchased tickets. Upon HKITP’s request, Guests need to present personal identification documents to verify their identities as the authorized holder of the credit card used in the Website purchase. 

IS IT ALLOWED TO BRING FOOD INSIDE THE PARK?

Yes, but it depends on the kind of food that you'll bring. Rice meals and meats are not allowed inside the park. You have to pass two security inspections and the guards are thoroughly inspecting the bags even up to the smallest pockets  so don't even try to sneak something not allowed.  However, water, chips and bread are allowed. There are many restaurants & refreshments and food kiosk inside the park but the food are very expensive so make sure to eat a lot before going to the park and bring a bottle of water and something to fill your stomach (like bread and/or chips) but if you have money to blow then you can eat anything you want there by all means :).




Yes there is a money changer and charging station. Just go to the City Hall located at the Main Street USA. I don't have the information about the exchange rate but maybe it's a little bit higher. If your phone ran out of battery you can charge it there for free. Just present a valid ID and bring your own charger with you. Don't worry about about the three prong adapter, they have lot's of those :). You  can leave your phone there while charging and just present your ID when claiming it. 

WHAT TIME IS THE DISNEY PARADE AND FIREWORKS DISPLAY

As far as I know there are two sets of parade, one in the afternoon at 3:00 PM the Flights of Fantasy Parade and the second one is at 7:30 PM Disney Paint the Night Parade (which I liked most and one of the highlights of my Disney experience).

Fireworks display is at the closing part which is 8:45 PM. It is a 10-15 minute display at the Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Make sure to be there in front of the castle at least 30 minutes or more before the fireworks display starts as the area easily gets crowded. It's up for you to find a very good viewing (for video/picture) spot. 

NOTE: The time or type of parade may change depending on the weather and Disney Management. Like in our case, it was kinda rainy when we went there so for the 3:00 PM parade instead of Flights of Fantasy it was replaced by Mickey's Rainy Day Parade but we were still able to see different Disney characters.

So there you go folks! So far these are the things that I think might be helpful for you as I also had these questions in my mind before.

If you have further inquiries or suggestions please feel free to write it down in the comment area and I will try to respond the soonest time possible as soon as I read it.
