HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 33)

[prettybarbie]

Curlytops pede din yan, kaso tanghali na kayo makakapunta sa Disney on your first day, pero sabagay 2 days naman kayo.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ pag sa CTS ka bili ticket for NP, hiwalay ang pila mo, dun ka sa me prior reservation counter (sa may right side, pwede mo tanong sa staff na nag-aassist dun, pakita mo lang voucher) na halos walang pila, to exchange your voucher from CTS to a ticket. Mabilis lang to compared sa pipila ka talaga to buy tickets there. Very convenient.

Sis @curlytops, i think pwede mo pa isingit ang Causeway Bay sa 3rd day nyo, after ng The Peak. Suggestion lang naman, if nagka-extra time kayo. Pwedeng una ang The Peak > Causeway Bay > Avenue of Stars, etc.

Saan ok na restaurant sa fishing village? Yung fresh seafood then you will buy and ask them to cook?

[curlytops]

Thanks sis!

Sis, may free wifi ba sa HK Disneyland or Hollywood Hotel? I know for sure pag sa rooms baka may bayad. Pero around sa hotel meron?

Btw, kung tanghali na kami makakapunta, hindi ba maganda? or better go to other attractions na lang like sa Ngong Ping then Disneyland whole day next day?

[princess lorraine]

^sis,sa disneyland hotel no free in-room wifi. Pero sa lobby and restaurants meron. 

[curlytops]

Sis @prettybarbie, may question ako if we stay in TST or Jordan area, mas mabilis ba if taxi kami going to Kowloon Station going to Sunny Bay (Disneyland). Kasi pag sa TST/Jordan parang mas matagal biyahe dahil madaming dadaanan na station. Tama ba ako?

[prettybarbie]

^ halos pareho lang ang TST sa Jordan, 1 stop lang ang layo nila sa isa't-isa and pareho silang nasa kowloon, pero mas okay sa TST.

Kung tanghali na kayo sa Disney shempre ang haba na ng pila and dami na lalong tao sigurado. It's either i-enjoy nyo na lang yung facilities ng hotel, go swimming, go to the other Disney hotel for picture taking, go to city gate and shop, or go to Ngong Ping. Then the following day check out ka na, leave the luggage in the hotel, and agahan nyo sa disney park.

[curlytops]

Thanks sis. Yun din nga naisip ko sis. Medyo masakit kasi sa bulsa magstay sa Disney Hotel kaya talagang pinag-iisipan ko. and checking other possibilities kasi kung massira lang trip namin dahil sa haggard ng pagcomute then we better stay sa Disney. Yung ibang hotel sana malapit. Yung Noah's Ark first hotel before transfering sa TST area. kaso fully booked na . Ayun lang. Kabado much dahil first timers.

[yummieyomi]

anyone here familiar with hotel benito? anong malapit na grocery dito and masarap na restaurant around this area? we will be staying here for our hk trip next week. tia!

[prettybarbie]

^ may malapit na park n shop, then tapat mismo ng hotel benito may burger king and korean resto, malapit lang din charlie brown cafe, madaming kainan malapit don.

[ubengbaka]

@sis curlytops suggestion lang, bka pwede mo na pag isahin ang ave of  the stars and symphony since one spot lang yun.

At saka mahal ang taxi sa HK.save your money for food tripping kasi maraming ok na food sa HK. Hindi ba kayo gagala sa mga night narket? Parang wala sa itinerary mo

Btw kung mahaba pila sa Peak tram, yung iba ginagawa nila they ride a bus going up. Tapos nagtratram na lang pababa

Commuting in HK is not stressful. In fact convenient at the same time parang sight seeing na rin dahil may ilang shops sa mtr stations. Air con pa. Malayo sa mrt natin na aakyat ka hagdan, mainit,  pila, siksikan etc. The buses, trams and mtr are tourist attractions themselves experience-wise

[seven82]

hindi pa malamig by September mga sis? plan pa naman namin pumunta first or second week. mabilis pa naman mainitan daughter ko, medyo pawisin. baka hindi lang siya magenjoy. hindi naman kami pwede ng November or December kasi busy na. 

[engroselle]

hi!
malapit na alis namin. 

ask ko lang po, what po sakyan namin from Central Station to The Peak? bus po, hindi kami mag-tram. Bus 15 po ba? as in sa tuktok po ba manggaling yung bus nato or from the Lower Terminus?... nalilito kasi ako,e...
and pababa naman po, Bus 1 to Central Station? is this Bus manggaling din all the way from sa tuktok talaga?

thanks!

[bratty]

Mga sis, anyone here nakapagstay na sa Hollywood at Disney hotel? Ano po ba ang major difference? Mas mura kasi ang Hollywood, pero naghihintay pa ako ng visa card promotion nila.

Thank you.

[runbarbierun]

^ I think overall interior lang naman. Hollywood is more modern while Disney Hotel is more fairytale-ish mas whimsical ganun.

[bratty]

THANK YOU sis runbarbierun. Mag-Hollywood hotel na lang kami. Totoo din ba na mag-goo-goodnight pa ang disney characters sa mga bagets? Tipong kakatok sa room yung mga mascots para mag-good night o charing lang yun? hehe.

[prettybarbie]

Seven82 mainit pa ang september


Bratty mas elegant ang Disneyland Hotel, nag gu-goodnight lang si Mickey Mouse sa Kingdom Club lounge, only those who stay in the kingdom club rooms have access to the lounge.

[bratty]

THANK YOU sis prettybarbie true naman pala kaso may exclusivity. hehe
Awww... mainit pa pala ang September... pero ok na din, keysa sa umuulan. hehe

[sky_butterfly17]

[prettybarbie]
