A First Timers Hongkong Disneyland Guides and Tips
I have been to many different places in the Philippines but never been able to go outside of the country. But luckily, a friend of mine told me that she was going to Hongkong and Hongkong being one of the top things to do in my bucket-list made me say “Yes!” in a heartbeat.
I went there during Christmas time and got to see Sleeping Beauty Castle in Hongkong Disneyland before it will be upgraded to a new castle.
Disneyland Hongkong is a one of the 6 Disneyland Theme Park created all around the world.

PRE-TRAVEL GUIDE
Where to buy Hongkong Disneyland ticket?
I ordered in klook . All I can say is that purchases are legit. They offer great deal in every tours that are available in that country plus its very cheaper and less hassle. Their website or app is easy to use. All in one for a great price and deal. Normally costs around HK$3491 (approximately $446).
Where to stay?
I suggest you use AirBnB if you are looking to rent for houses or apartments that are affordable/cheaper yet comfortable.
Where to best exhange currency?
The best rate you can find will be through your local bank. (P.S. Do not exchange in the airport because the rate will have a big difference.)
Do I need visa to enter Hongkong?
If you are a Philippines Passport Holder like me then you do not need too but be sure that your passport is valid for 6 months counting from the first day of your travel date. For more information check it here.

NAVIGATING YOUR WAY INSIDE HK DISNEYLAND?
Of all the blogs I have read, none seems to say that it is okay to go to Hongkong Disneyland in the Afternoon. So here I am, deviating from all of them. I personally will recommend that you can go to Disneyland in the Afternoon and still can ride the exciting rides in one day but please plan ahead the rides that you want to ride so that no time will be wasted. *wink wink*
You wouldn’t want to miss rides, right?
