Yeah!!
If you are following from the last post - you likely guessed it!
We went to Disney!!!
We had visited this park two years ago when we were bringing Meisi home,
but this was a different experience in so many ways.
We didn't ride the train there last time.
It adds such anticipation. :)
Arriving at the station near the main entrance gate.
We are here!!
It took us about 2 hours from the time we walked out the door to getting here.
Very similar to Magic Kingdom (only a smaller version).
As you can see, it is being refurbished, so Main Street and the Castle looks a little funny.
But it is similar right??
This is my favorite part of the park. :)
Quite likely because we don't have "Toy Story Land" in Orlando
AND I just love Woody, Buzz and the gang. :)
Sooo cool right??
Last time I didn't ride this as we weren't sure Meisi would ever trust us if we put her on this - haha.
Ummm...still not sure she is gonna trust us after this, but she didn't cry.
My eyes did leak a little.
I am terribly afraid of heights and this went MUCH higher than it looked from the ground.
Aren't they cute?
Look at those amazing blue skies too!!
We didn't wait more than 10 minutes for any ride.
Amazing right??
These were little holes you could look through and it caused "mystic" changes (aka - optical illusions).
Lunch at Disney HK looks significantly different than it does at WDW.
We had a taste of Indonesia with Nasi Goreng, Chicken Satay and then some Japanese cuisine with a bento box.
It was pretty tasty.
Our little cutie is missing her nap time.
Thankfully her Daddy doesn't mind carrying her. :)
Jungle Cruise - it was even in English!
Nearly the same, just not as strong of punch lines as some of the skippers we've had in the states.
You pick your line based on what language you'd like your cruise to be in. :)
We believe the options were English, Mandarin and Cantonese but aren't completely certain as we haven't gotten to the point to be able to read the other two.
Look who was here!! They even had them outside for pictures!!
We didn't wait in the line for pics but it was fun to be this close.
Aili still says they look nothing like the "Real" Princesses, but I think these are closer than the ones we saw in a parade in Florida.
These are the moments I cherish when we go to Disney - the look on our kids' faces. :)
This was the afternoon parade and she was watching Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Donald. :)
REAL ice cream!!
Yep, it is messy, but it is still tasty. :)
We didn't see the characters last time, so felt we must this time.
Besides there was no line for Pluto and Goofy!
Isn't his outfit cool??
Brian took the big kids to see a couple more things while Meisi and I waited to see Mickey.
While waiting, we saw what we'd never see in the states...
Mickey and Minnie had a break/switched people..
When they returned they came out and started kissing each other, over and over,
Then they did there little giggle covering their mouth.
I wasn't quite sure what to think but a little surprised that the nationals around me kept saying, "Oh how sweet!"
"Sweet" wasn't exactly what was crossing my mind.
When I told Brian he said there was a t-shirt there that said, "Disney after dark" and had different pics of them kissing and things. :(
So, I was already a little creeped out by the kissing episode and more uncomfy as we got closer because Mickey was repeatedly kissing every child and every adult that came through.
Don't get me wrong - I'm a touchy feely type, it was just strange for a character interaction.
Nonetheless, seeing Mickey brought joy to my little Mei, whose smile melts my heart.
I've never been more thankful for a short character interaction though. :)
I really like "It's a Small World" here too...
They have the Disney characters in each of their countries/continents, along with all the things we know and love in the Orlando version of this ride.
Even cooler - While we were eating the fireworks began!
It was a great spot to watch them as it wasn't too loud (Ian has a serious dislike for the noise fireworks create).

After this we got to watch the light parade.
I think it is my favorite electrical light parade.
It was great to hear the music in English but completely added to the experience when the characters spoke Chinese.
All the Princesses spoke English but the other characters did not. :)
We had dinner there too - isn't the rice Mickey cool??
It was a great spot to watch them as it wasn't too loud (Ian has a serious dislike for the noise fireworks create).
The park here has much shorter hours (10-8:30), but we were ready to go.
It had been a long, fun filled day.
Oh, Mickey and friends, so so good to see you again... looking forward to next time. :)
