HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 34)

[ThePurpleCoffer]

^sis here o:

There is a shuttle bus service from the park Public Transport Interchange for the short journey to both hotels. Both hotels can be reached on foot from the park entrance by following Park Promenade towards Disneyland Resort Pier. Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is the nearer of the hotels, which are 10/15 minutes walk from the park entrance.

Mukhang may malilinis at mas magandang accommodations sa Jordan. Okay ba yung place na yun mga sis?

[yapeegurl]

^The only hotel we've tried that's walking distance sa Jordan MTR is B P International which is at Austin Road. I think the closest hotel around Jordan MTR is Shamrock Hotel. Pero hindi ko sure if OK ang hotel na ito kasi sa website pa lang, I am guessing hindi sulit.

When we walked from Jordan MTR to Austin Road (where BP International is), hindi naman super dumi ng streets. Wala lang nice na scenery na makikita while walking. Luma mga buildings na madadaan and some are under construction.

But perpendicular to Austin Road ang Nathan Road where TST MTR station is.

[smoothie]

^^I've stayed in Shamrock Hotel. This was our to go hotel before we discovered Dragon Hostel. Maganda
naman dyan. Usually may kasamang breakfast voucher yung package namin. The room is kind of small but may bath tub sa room.
The restaurants at the top floor and down below are yummy. Pero mahal na ata siya ngayon.

[m_lim]

mahigpit ba sa Holiday Inn Express? kasi may kasamang sofa bed yung room. pwede kaya sneak in 1 tao?

[kittycat228]

Sana hindi super humid, sa sept. 11 na alis namin.

[prettybarbie]

Sa Jordan maraming Indian and Pakistani don.

Yung shuttle bus ng disney hotel nasa left side sya pagkalabas ng disney train, yung long walk kasi papuntang disney park nasa right side

[msrain]

^ thanks sis prettybarbie, akala ko kasi doon na siya malapit sa papuntang entrance ng park.

until now nagdadalawang isip pa din ako kung kukunan ko yung anak ko ng ticket. kasi 2 weeks after ng 3rd birthday niya e hk na kami. sayang at di na siya free. huhuhuh.. gusto ko i-try na baka pwede pa siya libre kaso baka pag nasita kami e nakakahiya naman. hay....

[smoothie]

^Train you child para pagtinanong siya sabihin niya na 2 parin siya. hehe. Nakalusot kami dun sa eldest namin
sa Disneyland ata ito. Maliit din kasi siya and nung tinanong siya sinagot niya 2 pero 3 na siya talaga.
Hindi naman hiningi passport niya.

[msrain]

^ tlaga sis? may nagsabi naman na isakay siya sa stroller. sumasakay naman yung anak ko sa stroller pag nagma-mall kami. pero i think lang she's big for her age. kasi right now, sa likot niya some assume na she's 4 years old dahil sa body built niya. pero yes, pagtinatanong siya kung ilan taon na siya, she says 2.  kaso baka hanapan ng passport bigla. 

[prettybarbie]

^ hindi hinahanapan ng passport or whatever, 4 na yung anak ko pero libre pa din sya sa lahat. Sa MTR di pa sya abot don sa minimum height requirement kaya wala pa din sya bayad.

[smoothie]

Oo. Haha.

Pero hindi na namin naulit kay bunso. 3 yrs old pero malaki for his age tapos madaldal din. Ang alam niya 3 yrs old na siya.

[msrain]

^^ano po ang height requirement sa mrt at sa bus? lagpas ng kaunti na sa 3 feet ang anak ko. sana hindi nga siya tanungin kapag dinala namin siya sa disneyland, oceanpark at ngong ping. malaki din ang matitipid namin. pero kung pagbayarin naman magbabayad na lang kami.

[prettybarbie]

Height should not exceed 95 cm pag sa mtr, pero sa disney di naman sinusukat ang mga bata

[runbarbierun]

How hot is it in October? Pwedeng light jacket or shorts weather siya? TIA.

[prettybarbie]

^ no need to wear jacket, super hot and humid pa din!

[bratty]

Mga sis, kung group of 6 adults and 2 kids, best ba na mag-airport shuttle kami o MTR pa din? Gaano ba kasulit ang octopus card?

Next week na kami magkikita sa HK ng family ko. Sana wala ng dumating na bagyo and praying for a good weather

[miranda]

Any nice restaurants in hongkong? Kahit mejo mahal. Pero syempre wag naman super mahal basta maganda lang ang ambiance pag gabi tsaka masarap food. Magdidinner sana kami for my mother's birthday. Thanks.

[prettybarbie]

^^ mas okay pag bus kasi madami kayo atsaka diretso na yon di na kayo magpapalipat lipat.

^ chinese resto ba? Kung hindi, maganda sana yung sa Bubbagump sa Peak, overlooking kasi kita mo yung skyline ng Hong kong, maganda lalo na sa gabi. Pede ka din don bumili ng maliit na cake, nasa dessert menu nila, bulong mo lang sa mga waitress don na meron kayong birthday celebrant alam na nila ang gagawin don. Lalagyan nila ng Happy Birthday with name then ise-serve with candle plus kakanta yung mga staff. Aliw lang! May mga pilipinong nagtatrabaho don and nakakatuwa sila. You can download the menu here http://www.bubbagump.com/locations/hong-kong/ anjan na din ata pati price.

Hi mga sis,

I am drafting our itinerary for travel to HK for 3D/2N. Hope you an help me out by giving comment if the list and directions are okay as well as the time allotted for each spot. This is a very relaxed itinerary as I do not want to be rushing here and there. Actually Disneyland langtalaga ang ipinunta namin but I have included Avenue of Stars and NP360 na rin. I have 2 small kids with me plus the hubby so I want it really to be a fuss-free and relaxed trip lang. we do not intend to cover much as our kids might not be interested pa sa ibang tourist spots like Madame Tussauds. I also omitted Ocean Park as we've been there in 2010.
