Hong Kong guide (thread 26)

[byutijunkie]

^^ang dami namang versions nyan.  the one i read while i was in hk pa ha was about a malaysian couple naman whose daughters (aged 6 and 3) na nakidnap sa restroom ng disney.  kinda makes me wonder kung totoo ba lahat 'to.  sa sobrang praning ko, i put IDs and whistles on my kids and never ever let them out of my sight when we were in hk.  ang saken lang, i kinda found the security in disneyland lax. pero sa tingin ko naman, hindi rin tayo dapat pabaya as parents.   and we shouldn't forget that the reason we're bringing our kids there is for them to be happy kaya let's try not to let reports like these ruin the moment for our kids.  let's take extra care, pray and just enjoy =)

^if you google disneyland kidnapping may mga nagsasabing Disney is a satanist and the kidnapping is an inside job and they offer the kids as a sacrifice.

ang scary naman nyan sis!

Umuulan ba sa HK ngayon? Our flight is this wednesday until sat. I read in HK observatory, may thunderstorm on thurs and fri. How accurate is this? If ever, bukas pa din ba Disney if raining? Thanks.

[runbarbierun]

^

Ganyan din sabi nung HK weather app ko (na very accurate nung ginamit ko when we went there last March) - cloudy with rain showers, with few thunderstorms.

Last year, we went to Disneyland tapos umuulan, walang parade nung 3pm, pero bukas naman halos lahat ng rides Wala sigurong fireworks, though hindi ko sure dahil maaga kami umalis nun. Marami naka Disney raincoat pero kung ako sayo dala ka nalang sis, mahal raincoat sa Disneyland

hi mga sis, i need advice on this...

my family are going to hongkong on june.  includes me, my husband, 5year old daughter and 1.11 son. 
our flight are as follows:
June 27 Wednesday arrival Hongkong 730AM
June 30 Saturday     departure Hongkong 1000AM

now, my husband's wishlist is go to macau for a day para sa photography nya.
my wishlist is to take the kids to disneyland and shop in H&M

now, do-able ba ito sa short time namin in hongkong?  we only have 3 full days.  my friends who frequent hongkong tells me to forget about going to macau.  pagod lang daw tapos we have two kids with us.

kaso parang di papayag asawa ko na hindi kami mag macau.  kaya ba ng balikan ang macau?  kaya ba to see the famous tourist spots in one whole day?

my plan is this

wednesday - 730 am deretso na macau
                   530 pm balik na sa hongkong
                   night hongkong dinner and maybe a little walking around the place
thursday    - disneyland all day
friday        - go to tourist spots and H&M
saturday   - rest and go home

[cuteapril_1215]

^ sis, suggestion ko ito:

wednesday - HK tourist spots and H&M
thursday    - disneyland all day
friday        - Day Tour in Macau
saturday   - rest and go home

sympre pagdating niyo kc ng HK, hindi agad makakalabas ng airport...khit paano may rest ang mga bata sa byahe :-)

[nikki21]

hello mga sis. ask ko lang kung san pinaka convenience and cheap na mag bungee jumping sa macau?

GUsto kasi ng kasama ko maexperience mag bungee jumping. meron na ba naka try nito dito?

Btwm december this year pa naman ang hk - macau trip namin.

thanks mga sis

Hello mga sis, I have a question.  Malapit lang ba at madaling hanapin ang Exchange Square Bus Terminal from Hongkong Station Exit D?  We will be coming from Disneyland going to the Peak.  Tama ba na Bus 15 ang sasakyan namin dun going to the Lower Peak Tram Terminus?  We like to ride the Peak Tram going to the Peak. 

I have read that walking from Hongkong Station to Central Station is a very long walk.

^^ macau tower...the best

from the airport, how much travel time to TST hotel using air 21 bus?

[engroselle]

@engroselle sis mabilis lang mag navigate sa hk ...so you don't really need na mag pa book thru agency dahil mas mahal sa kanila. Ang ginawa ko I used google map and print out the pages ayun no hassle ang vacation.

worried kasi ako na baka ma-stress lang kami ni hubby,e. hehe. 1st time kasi to travel abroad with the kids. with a 2 y/o in tow pa.

and since nga may toddler, madami bitbit na gamit. and hubby doesn't want to roam around naman na bitbit lahat yun. at least nga naman, pwede iwanan sa bus muna yung gamit as we go from site to site.

easy lang ba talaga to navigate around HK? how much po taxi fare?

mahal po ba yung 60k for a family of 5, including tour and airfare?

sorry dameng tanong. 

thanks!

[ilovedlc]

airfare depende kasi kapag nag sale ang cebu pac sobrang mura na ngayon mga 2-3k na lang ang ticket RT. yung tour saan saan ang tour?  Puro MTR lang kasi sa hk.  Taxi mahal check mo sa website yung rates. yung 60k ba may accomodation na yun?

[byutijunkie]

from the airport, how much travel time to TST hotel using air 21 bus?

less than an hour i believe.  mabilis lang depending on the time.  nung kami, we rode the bus around 9am, we were in tst before 10am. 

[this_is_me]

Im sooo excited! Going to hk this may! Kahit paulit ulit, ang saya pa rin. Hehe. Feeling bata.

[em_cee]

^ May din kami punta sis.  Excited na rin ako kasi palapit na.  Maulan daw at mainit... Sa MAy 8-11 kami sana hindi umulan at wag masyado mainit.

Anyone experienced availing of the Star Recognition PACK PROMO OF Disneyland?

seriously, kinakabahan ako sa booking ko with ate yolly at taisan guest house.  another bad feedback.  nakaka-badtrip naman.  to think dapat nga mas kampante tayo since pinay sya.

i just sent an email to ken asking if he can change our reservation to harilera instead of burlington for our travel dates.  sana pumayag naman siya, tutal end of sept pa naman yung trip namin so hopefully hindi pa sila booked.  im travelling with a child pa naman so nakakapraning yung mga hassle na ganyan.

I availed of a Star Pass before for 2 adults and 2 kids kasi sa first visit ko dun, haba ng lines & August so summer time. When I re-visited on an April trip before, kumuha na ako nun, only to waste my money kasi the day we visited, there weren't a lot of people haha. But it's gonna be useful, I guess, for the days na maraming park guests.

So, when I visited the park again last June, di na ko kumuha nun.

During that 2nd visit, (wala pa nyang promo na yan), we stayed at Disneyland Hotel and we were made the Star Guests of the Day. Wala kaming ginawa for it. As in after checking in sa Kingdom Club lounge, dineclare lang na kami yun. Took our family photo and placed it in a souvenir Star Guest frame. And gave all of us special pins so everywhere we went sa park, we were greeted by the staff and when my kids rode the train, they were even given certificates, etc.

For the other packages, I haven't tried them yet.
