The queue for the rides at the Toy Story Land were very long. We decided to just go back later.

We were back at the Fantasyland. We had tried to get fastpass for Winnie the Pooh. However, it was already closed. We took the ride the next day instead.

We continued walking till we reached the “It’s small world”.

Entrance to Hong Kong Disneyland at night

It was almost 7pm when I got back to the Park. Most were on their reserved places for the night parade show, Paint the Night. I just stayed at the Main Street USA to watch the parade. Uncle and kidz were in front of the castle. After the parade, most were still on their places to have a good view of the FireWorks. I got to get through to Fantasyland area

We have a reserved area to watch the day parade, night parade and Fireworks which was included in the hotel package. We could only avail it all in one day. Since we missed the 3pm parade, we decided to use the reserve area on the 2^nd day visit. There was this colour coding bracelet to show so we could be allowed to the reserved area. We had inserted farther below the videos taken during the parades and the fireworks.

SECOND DAY AT HONG KONG DISNEYLAND

Uncle and the kidz queued for almost 3 hours to have picture with Mickey and Minnie Mouse at the Town Square. I had spent that 3 hours taking photos and videos around. Included in the hotel package was 2 days photopass. We thought the pass included the rides. Only photos with the characters.

The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Hong Kong Disneyland

I got fastpass for Winnie the Pooh. From Main Street USA to Fantasyland, my family took the Disney train to Fantasyland. They had a very good view of the park. After the Winnie the Pooh ride, we had our lunch at Royal Banquet Hall. We then waited for the 3pm parade at the reserved area near the Storybook theatre. If you come late, you may not be able to get a good view. We had a priority pass, we were there at 2:30pm and sat on the floor for a while. During peak period like December and Summer, I suggest to show up one hour before.

Flights of Fantasy Parade is the daytime parade at Hong Kong Disneyland debuted on 18 January 2011. It was shown at 3pm when we watched this parade. The parade featured seven parade units started by Mickey and friends followed by Winnie the Pooh Adventures, Disney Princesses, The Lion King and Tarzan, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, The Stitch and The Toy Story with the Buzz lightyear for the finale. The parade begins outside the Story Book theatre and ends at the Main Street.

Entrance to the Storybook Theatre at Hong Kong Disneyland

We watched the Mickey and the Wondrous Book at the Storybook theatre after the parade. Then we went back again at Toy Story Land. We took the rides: Parachute drop and RC Racer. We still have 2 sets of fastpass, we took again the Iron Man experience and the Hyperspace Mountain.

By half past 6pm, we were at viewing area near the the Storybook theatre for the 7pm Night Parade.

The Disney Paint the Night Parade at Hong Kong Disneyland debuted on 01 October 2014. The Night parade features seven creative floats opens by the Tinker Bell Unit followed by the Monster Unit, Cars Unit, The Little Mermaid, Belle Candelight, Toy Story and Mickey and friends for finale.

After the night parade, we then proceeded in front of the castle, at the reserved area, for the 8pm Fireworks. One hour before the fireworks, the place would be cleared. They would request everyone who were there to vacate the place. Only those with colour coded bracelet were allowed to go inside. We were there half an hour before and we were in the front. Those behind us with little kids were not able to enjoy the show as they were blocked when all in the front stood and filming the fireworks.

Disney in the Stars at Hong Kong Disneyland features breathtaking fireworks around the castle with lightning effects and video projections of our favorite disney stories and songs. This magical fireworks concluded on 01 January 2018 as the park carries out a multi-year expansion project expected to be completed by 2023. During the 6-year expansion, every year will launch a new themed area. Moana themed to be the first to open in 2018.
