Just need your insights since most of you here have visited Hong Kong a couple of times or have lived or currently living there. Which is more convenient to bring to Hong Kong since we will be travelling with a toddler & we want it to be convenient for us as parents plus it is a known fact there is going to be a lot of walking literally; 
1. Stroller
2. Backpack carrier
3. multi position soft carrier
Thanks!!!

Mga sis mas ok bang to purchase sa CTS ng Disney ticket with meal coupon. Mas practical ba sya?
 

[ficklemind]

thanks sis! yup ganyan nga mga trip ko, people watching lang LOL. may mga buses pa pala, let's see kung maaga-aga pa, kung maligaw, baba na lang at sumakay ng taxi! gusto ko lang mamaximize yung time namin sa HK even sa gabi after magclose ng mga shop.

Disneyland na din kami over OP.

***
day 1
arrival ko is 10:30AM while bf naman is 9:30AM, meet na lang kami sa Burger King sa airport (as recommended meeting place sa PEX) (Immigration and flight delays lang naman makakapgtagal samin sa airport since we have no checked-in bags.
if we can leave our bags as fast as possible sa hostel in TST then hopefully by 1-2PM ready na kami for our Day 1.
baka mag Macau na kami agad nun (maximize our time na lang there by taking the last ferry trip pauwi ng HK)

Day2
Macau or Disneyland (depends on Day 1)
pag dito kami kami mag Disneyland, makakapag Ngong Pin muna kami then Disneyland around 1-2PM then dun nga sa Lan Kwai Fong

Day3
Central, Causeway Bay, The Peak, Avenue of Stars
-ride the HK Island Tram and Star Ferry

Day 4
TST
?? (maghapon na lang kami around TST?)

Hinde ko pa nabobook return ticket namin pauwi but most likely hapon or evening yun.
konting shopping lang, bahala na kung may makita ako while namamasyal, yung pasalubong naman alam ko na bibilin ko and nabigay na din ng friend ko yung instructions where to buy them.

baka may macocomment kayo mga sis sa Itinerary ko, thanks

pampam2 tama si little princess prioritize nyo yung mga shows like Lion King and The Golden Mickey show, if ever you have to choose between the two, choose the The Golden Mickey. If winter pa pag punta nyo sa hapon nyo na lang panoodin yung parade, para habang nanonood yung mga tao sa tanghali tapos na kayo sa shows. Must see yung Mickey's PhilharMagic and Stitch encounter, okay din yung It's a Small World, you can skip the The Adventure of Winnie the Pooh, mas mahaba pa ang ipipila mo dito kesa sa makikita mo. Regarding characters, pagkatapos nyo na puntahan yung mga shows at rides na gusto nyo saka nyo na lang ubusin ang time nyo sa pagpila sa mga characters dahil pag inuna nyo yon wala kayong mapapanood mauubos lang time nyo sa pagpila. Usually hanggang 6 or 6:30 PM lang ang picture taking with the characters but most people dont know na lumalabas lahat ng characters sa Fantasy Gardens (#17 sa map) between 7-8PM. Hindi nila kasi masyado kita yung loob, kaya maigsi lang ang pila dito, within 30 minutes makakapag pa picture ka sa lahat ng characters pag don mo sila inabangan.

Thanks Princess Lorraine & Bagaholic_chewy.  Ok sana arranged shuttle service with Holiday inn, problem is 6 persons lang naka declare samin so sneak in yung isang adult, di kaya kami ma question? Sana nga may mahanap kaming Van to drive us from airport.  If wala, airport express na lang siguro. Where exactly kami dapat bumaba na malapit sa Holiday Inn Nathan rd, if through free airport express bus? TIA

[mama squeak!]

^No worries, the bus driver will announce kung stop na ng HI.

[little_princess]

bangenge, mag airport express na lang kayo if sneak in yung 1. some hotels aren't strict but then don't risk it na lang. if 6 kayo, may promo rate sila lumalabas 60hkd each one way. pwede na yun kasi that's what we did

ficklemind, i suggest not to do macau or disneyland on your first day. you would need the whole day for both.

[vanekski]

Hi po ask ko lang kung may naka try na sa inyo sa new yiu fai guest house? Iba ang rate nya compared sa yiu fai guest house (650 hkd  per night sa new vs 450hkd) same location lang kaya ito? Sa pictures kase parang newly renovated ang new. Magkaiba din ang email at contact person ng reservation ng dalawang hostels.. Hoping for your advise mga sis thanks

[pampam2]

Thanks prettybarbie! I'll take note of your advice. big help for us

Mga sis mas ok bang to purchase sa CTS ng Disney ticket with meal coupon. Mas practical ba sya?

hi sis. alam ko wala ng disney ticket with meal coupon. 388hkd sa cts ang disney ticket then 75 meal coupon. magkahiwalay na pinagbebenta ng cts. pero til march 31, 2013 nagooffer ang disney ng 3-in-1 meal coupon. (same as 3-in-1 nung cts before) 170+hkd yata. kindly check hk disney's site na lang.

[pampam2]

^ ok sis thanks I'll check na lang 'yong website nila.

[midnite_sun]

Hi sa lahat!

Question lang... I want to buy those special Octopus cards na available online, how do I go about that? Pwede ba for pickup na lang ng item when I get there or for delivery only?

Thanks!

[prettybarbie]

May promo ang Ocean Park HK sa facebook page nila, HKD 480 for 2 adults and HKD 240 for 2 children, offer is from Jan.8-Feb.7,2013

[omneecka]

^sayang, di umabot samin..

[vanekski]

Mas ok ba pumunta sa the peak pag hapon or night time? Initial plan ko kase sa morning eh pero since sa mga itinerary nyo by night, i'm having second thoughts.. Thanks mga sis

[little_princess]

^ mas maganda from sunset tilnighttime

[midnite_sun]

Question lang...

From HK going to Macau... estimate 1 hr yung travel so around 9AM na kami dadating nun. We plan on riding the gondola at the Venetian Hotel. Ano mas maganda gawin... AM yung Venetian Hotel/gondola then PM yung Senado Square, Ruins of St Paul's Church, etc... or baligtarin namin?

Thanks!

[little_princess]

^ indoor yung gondola ride so better do it pag madilim na so you won't miss out the sights that needs sunlight

[prettynvain]

^1hour yes, pero you cannot estimate the time kasi depende sa maabutan nyong oras ng ferry na available or yung ticket na available. mostly pagpunta mo sa ferry wala na ticket for next available ferry. bette rto purchase in advanced. meron dun sa mga agencies dun pero ganun din minsan wala na for the next earliest.
