There was a slight humour to it and 3D was good. The queuing area was quite well themed but we walked straight through it to the ride .

What sort of thing did you want to see and I'll see if we ride again tomorrow if I can get some pics for you.
How was the rest of your time in HK?

great, thanks although it was busier on the Friday (some lines were 20 mins) and the weather was lovely - first time in 3 visits without rain

Y'know it's still one of my favourite parks as it's so small, easy to walk around and usually short lines.

Thanks for that, think we might be there either Friday & Wed or Monday & Wed. I'm getting excited now.

if it were me, I'd go Mon and Wed but I don't 'do' people very well lol!

There were lots of characters around if you're interested in them. Chewy was good and BB8 was so cute!

Photopass was around £40 for 3 consecutive days, only 2 rides on it but lots of characters and a couple of castle shots - the photographers around the castle were brilliant and spent quite a while with us.

If you're staying onsite, use the line for hotel guests for entry as much quicker.

Fast passes were very easy to get and use throughout the day for us, both days.

ENJOY!

Thanks so much, it sounds amazing.

We are staying on site one night so one day we will be able to use the entry but not the other.

Yeah i can see the mon & wed would work better for the photopass as I didnt realise it was for more than one day. Not sure I'll be able to make the kids wait till then as we arrive the wed before.

My son will love BB8 and Chewy.

which hotel are you staying at? We stayed at Hollywood again and love their breakfast at Chef Mickey (around £25 each). I'll have to find my photo's as took quite a few of the food as it's so varied (and yummy!). They also do a dinner buffet there and special 9-10pm sitting was about £25 I think but was more Asian so not really for me (veggie!). We did have a takeaway veggie pizza from the lounge bar which was about £16 and just OK.

In the park we ate at Explorer's Club as they do a couple of veggie meals and it cost us £22-26 for us both including a drink. Bottles of Coke in the park were about £3.20 and water £2.80 however we did get 4 x 500ml bottles of water in our room per day.

We've gone for the new Explorer's Lodge as they were offering a free character breakfast included.

oooh, lucky you - it was opening 2 days after we left and the press were there and in the parks. You will have to let me know if it is veggie friendly breakfast as told DH I want to stop there next time!

There is a separate photopass for character meals unless they are doing an opening special allowing you to add to your park photopass.

Wonder if they willl still be using the same bus that does a loop of Disneyland hotel - Hollywood Hotel - Park-Disneyland Hotel as that will make it a longer loop doing all 3 hotels before the park.
