mga sisses help naman on making reservation @ disney hollywood hotel.

may questions (more on confirmation) ako for those who have experienced in booking via email.
1.  yung payment form nila is only for reference purposes just like other hotels?  yung actual payment will be made sa checkout?

2. planning to get the early bird promo, accommodation w/2 day pass tickets for two.  i don't like sana to get an additional 1 - 2 day pass child ticket as an additional item thru email reservation .  advise kasi sa kin, bili na lang ako ng 1 day pass ticket sa Golden Crown Guesthouse then ipa-upgrade ko na lang sa 2 day pass sa park entrance.  that way daw makaka-save ako ng HK$40. For those nag stay sa disney hotel, may nakagawa na ba ng ganito?

3.  we're also planning to get a breakfast buffet sa enchanted garden.  pero plano ko sanang huwag ng ikuha ng reservation si bunsoy (3yo & 1 mo by then).  sorry pandadaraya pero feeling ko naman di masusulit ng anak ko yung ibabayad na P1K plus no.  lugi din naman ako . now ang question ko, humihingi ba sila ng passport to validate the age?

[princess lorraine]

^hi sis. I'll try to help you on some of your questions ha.
1. We stayed at hk disneyland hotel last yr. same lang naman sila ng policy ng hollywood hotel. I made the reservation thru phone. They asked for my credit card details and charged it for one night room charges upon booking. Then i paid the rest of the room charges, park tickets and dining at enchanted garden upon check in.
3.  Hubby, i and our 3 yrs and 4 months old daughter then had breakfast and dinner buffet at enchanted garden. They did not ask for my daughtet's passport naman but i paid for my daughter also. I declared that my 3 yr pld daughter will be dining with us upon booking. But i think they won't be asking for your child's passport naman. Sayang din kasi eh konti lang naman kakainin ng bata.

Hello girls!

We're going to HK this 2nd week April and staying at Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. I booked our rooms and park tix online including our character breakfasts. They charged me one night stay accommodation upon booking to confirm. The kids are excited already.

Anyone there in HK now. How's the weather? I read it will be 19-26C during our stay. Do we still need jackets for that or I should pack summer wear na like shorts and shirts. We're going to NP360 also. Medyo low ang tolerance ng mga kids sa lamig...

Thanks!

hi travelling_daisy, very timely ang post mo.  i'm also about to book their early bird promo for hollywood hotel.  question how did you make your reservation? mine kasi pina-pa-email or fax nila yung reservation form pero yung payment form dapat thru fax.  im having a hard time to find fax services catering international. 

[johan827]

^^^ @ princess lorraine.  thanks sis for the info.  i was trying to fax the payment form last friday pero the given fax no.  doesn't give a fax tone kaya til now di pa na-co-confirm ang reservation namin.  ill try to call them na lang. 

thank you sis.

[princess lorraine]

^much better to call them sis just to be sure.

Sis, I made my reservation online ( directly thru the Disneyland website). It was easy and fast. Got my confirmation via email. Yung credit card details binigay ko din and they charged me one night booking.

Hi everyone! okay ba ang weather sa Hongkong ng April?

[princess lorraine]

^pag daytime parang baguio weather but sometimes it gets cold at night but wearing light jackets will do. Hubby and I will be in hk on April 19 to 22. Wag sana maulan. Excited! 

[doglover]

^wow thanks ha! yun din worry ko wag sana maulan. First time namin, with hubby and 3 yr old son Super excited na din!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ April last year, nasa HK kami, 2nd week yata yun. Me one day na umulan ng tanghali hanggang hapon, medyo malakas at matagal din. Nasa Ngong Ping kami so napabili ng raincoats dun. Then sa gabi around dinner time, umulan ulit habang nasa dinner kami. 3rd or 4th day yata namin, me konting ulan din, pero ambon na lang so keribels. Buti nung nasa Disneyland yung mga kasama ko (di na ako sumama, sawa na hehe, nagliwaliw na lang ako mag-isa) tsaka nung nag Peak and Ocean Park kami e di naman umulan. Malamig-lamig ang hangin especially sa gabi kaya napabili ako ng jacket, wala kasi ako dala nun, hehe..

[sweety_paige]

Grabe yung isang Immigration Officer sa HK, tinanong yung katabi naming pinoy "Where do you stay?" Sagot naman nila "Manila"... Nagalit pa yung IO eh mali naman ang tanong niya dapat "Where will you stay?" 

@doglover - check hk weather forecast usually tama naman, tama nga sila, biglang umuulan...

[doglover]

thanks mga sis!

second week of april pa kami, i'm just crossing my fingers wag naman sana umulan!

good day everyone!

[doglover]

^ april 10 to 13 sis. 1 night stay kami Hollywood hotel and then transfer kami sa Kowloon kayo?

[cindylulu]

^na confuse na ko sa excitement hehe. sa 3rd week pa pala kami sis. 16-20 apr. 3 nights kami sa Novotel in Kowloon then last night namin sa Sofitel Macau. dun na sa Macau ang exit namin. hopefully hindi maulan sa April no?

[doglover]
