The park's opening hours are from 10.30am to 8pm.Do note that the park is closed on Wednesdays, except for public holidays and other designated days, so it's best to always check the park calendar for the latest info.

Remember, all guests are required to make a park reservation online before visiting, which you can only do so if you havevalid park tickets, membership cards, or ticket vouchers/confirmation.

How do to get to Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland is located in the northeastern part of Lantau Island and is easily accessible by public transportation.

On the MTR, transfer from Sunny Bay on the Tung Chung Line and take one stop to Disneyland Resort. The journey should take around 30 minutes from Central or Kowloon station.

There are also a lot of buses that take you to Hong Kong Disneyland, including R42 (Tai Wai Station), R33 (Tuen Mun Station), and 36 (Tung Chung). You can also take any 'A' or 'E' bus routes,alight at Lantau Link Interchange, and hop on route R8 to get to the park. If you’re travelling as a group,the easiest way is to get a taxi, which takes around30 to 45 minutes from Central and will cost about $240 to $300.

Where to find tickets for Hong Kong Disneyland

Tickets can be purchased online, at the park entrance, or at any of the three Disney hotels. One-day tickets are classified into four tiers, and the prices vary depending on specific dates and peak seasons.

One-day tickets prices for each tier:

Tier one – $639 (general admission);$475 (children ages3-11)
Tier two –$719 (general admission); $539 (children ages 3-11)
Tierthree – $799 (general admission); $599 (children ages 3-11)
Tierfour– $879 (general admission); $659 (children ages 3-11)

Senior ticketsare at $100 for all tiers, while guests with disabilities can receive a 30 percent discount on all one-day ticket tiers (excluding senior tickets).For specific dates that correspond to each ticket tier, refer to the official Hong Kong Disneyland website.

For the cheapest Hong Kong Disneyland tickets, though, your best bet is to go through one of the authorised travel agents such as Klook, whereyou can save close to $100 than when buying directly from Disney. On that note, wherever you get your tickets, children under the age of three are admitted for free.

Annual passes or, in Disney lingo, Magic Access, are the best value-for-money way to enjoy the park. There are three tiers: Silver, Gold, and Platinum;each offering various perks, from discounts on tickets and restaurants to additional Fastpasses to attractions. It might sound like a lot of dough to drop in one go, but if you're likely to visit more than once every year, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth withthe year-round shopping, dining, hospitality, and admissions privileges.

Rides and attractions

The Hong Kong park boasts more than 30 attractions. Like other parks across the world, you’ll start at Main Street, U.S.A., where there are plenty of great photo-ops inspired by turn-of-the-century America.

Continue walking towards theCastle of Magical Dreams, before deciding whether you want tomake a turn to meet Iron Man and Ant-Man; head straight towards Fantasyland where there are numerous low-intensity rides; orventure intoAdventureland andhop on the Jungle River Cruise – a Disney park favourite since 1955 –which brings you in close proximity to realistic, animatronic wild animals. Since these attractions are usually teeming with kids early in the day, we recommend heading to the high-thrill rides first, such as RC Racer at Toy Story Land or the Iron Man Experience and Hyperspace Mountain rollercoaster at Tomorrowland.

Also, be sure to look out for the new World of Frozen land, whichis set to make its world debut on November 20, 2023.

Where to eat at Hong Kong Disneyland

The park is dotted with eateries ranging from quick-service kiosks offering popcorn, ice cream, and turkey drumsticks to sit-down restaurants such as the Plaza Inn on Main Street, U.S.A., Comet Cafe in Tomorrowland, River View Cafe in Adventureland, and more.

Eating at the park can be stressful though, as you’ll have to battle the crowds for a table andmost likely have the sound of crying children as background music. For a more leisurely experience, we recommend fuelling up at one of the many hotel restaurants, including Crystal Lotus for its Disney-themed dim sum; the Enchanted Garden Restaurant's grand buffet; Grand Salon's delightful afternoon tea; orthe Sea Breeze Bar if you're down for some light tipples and European-style food.

Don't forget about the shows

'Festival of the Lion King' is one of the most popular shows at the park and for good reason too. Performed at Theater in the Wild, this Broadway-like production lets you sing along to The Circle of Life and Hakuna Matata as you watch the story of Simba unfold. Speaking of Disney music, 'Mickey and the Wondrous Book' is another beloved show at Fantasyland’s Storybook Theater featuring scenes and songs from popular movies such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Tangled, and Frozen. Finally, be surenot tomiss 'Follow Your Dreams', a 20-minute show starring Mickey and friends, along with singers and dancers, large-scale props, fog jets, bubbles, and more.

Parade and nighttime show

No visit to Hong Kong Disneyland would be complete without watching the parade! Head to Main Street, U.S.A. for theMickey & Friends Street Celebration, or stay until the evening for the Momentous Nighttime Spectacular.

More than just your average light show, Momentous celebrates different stages of life through six chapters and features approximately 150 beloved characters from almost 40 Disney and Pixar stories. The show incorporates a combination of multimedia elements including large-scale projection mapping, theatrical lighting, lasers, choreographed water fountains (some go up to as high as 80ft!), flames, pyrotechnics, firework effects, and a new original song Love the Memory, created specifically for Momentous.

Meet your favourite characters

Shop for themed souvenirs

The happiest place on Earth is also the best place for merch, as you’ll discover at the many stores at Hong Kong Disneyland. The shops along Main Street, U.S.A. have the greatest selection of items – think apparel and accessories to homeware and snacks – but each themed land offers its own selection of unique souvenirs that are well worth browsing through.

For example, you’ll find Marvel memorabilia at the Expo Shop, mystical trinkets at The Archive Shop, and all sorts of accessories adorned with the Little Green Men at Andy’s Toy Box. Don’t forget the hotel shops, especially The Trading Post at Disney Explorers Lodge, which stocks plush dolls of your favourite characters dressed in safari garb.
