Can anyone help me with our itinerary? I've been to HK twice but first time to travel with 2 year old son sa September. I definitely want to bring him sa Disney and Ocean park.

We arrive at HK ng 9:55 am. Mag stay kami ng 2 nights sa Disney Hotel.

Day 1: Check in - Disney Hollywood Hotel
           Disneyland

Day 2: I definitely want to catch the Breakfast character dining and yung Dinner buffet.. wala akong maisip na gawin on day 2 but to explore the  hotel lol.. maybe shopping? Any suggestions?

Day 3: Check out and transfer to Causeway Bay
           Oceanpark around lunch time
           The peak Sky

Day 4: Early check out, our flight is at 10:40 am.

Also, puwede naman i-check in yung bottled milks ni baby diba?

[princess lorraine]

^sis, i would suggest that you get the 2 day pass at disneyland. Mas enjoy yun esp for your son. 

Hubby and i arrived in hk from guangzhou this morning. Mainit na dito. But ok lang wag lang sana tLaga uulan during our stay here.

Hi sisses, may Sasa kaya in Harbor City? We'll be staying at the Holiday Inn Golden Mile TST area. Para isang puntahan na lang sana sa mall. 

Also, do you have an idea sa recent prices ng mga pasalubong like shirts and keychains? Ano yung usual nyong pinapasalubong whenever you visit HK? We're not planning to visit Ladies Market kaya I'm wondering kung pinakamura na ba yung mga pasalubong sa The Peak.

Thank you. 

[Heatherette]

^May Sasa dun

My SIL was able to score sa Mong Kok na shirts na 10 for P900. Yung mga I Love HK to.

[princess lorraine]

^^hi sis! Sasa is everywhere in tsim sha tsui. There are stores in haiphong road, nathan road, canton road, etc. 

i'm still in hk now. More on giordano polo shirts nabili ko this time. Wala akong nabili sa esprit. We will be going to disneyland tomorrow!

^Try Airbnb instead.

[cindylulu]

arrived in hk on 16apr and took the airport express to Kowloon and got on their free shuttle bus to Jordan. we walked around 3 blocks to Novotel at Nathan road. the weather was cool then and nanunuot pa ang lamig sa leather jacket ko. on Thursday we went to np360 and rode round-trip in their crystal cabin, then went shopping at citygate and later on we went to Disneyland. it was so hot and humid! I bought a folding umbrella for around hkd200! after buying souvenirs and going on some rides, we went home and didn't wait for the fireworks. Andaming tao kahit Thursday pa lang. bought discounted tickets pala at asiatravel. then on fri we went to gc to buy single journey Macau tickets kaso they only sell round trip tickets pala. Went shopping at IFC in central and had brunch at open kitchen. went to causeway bay and shopped at ikea, sogo and forever 21. then went to Mira mall to buy uniqlo airism inner wear as we badly needed these. There are only 2 uniqlo shops in hk pala. shopped some more at Mira and at parklane. kahit maraming bitbit na, we still went to harbour city. shopped some more and dined at crystal jade. On fri, I was supposed to go to space outlet but the turbojet ticket hubby bought online was scheduled to depart at 1130am. i like the meal served in turbojet. hubby said on our next visit we will stay again at central like on our previous trips and not in Kowloon.

^Try Airbnb instead.

is it reliable? i checked it also.....

any sis here tried Airbnb?

thanks sis...

[Heatherette]

^Yes. Last trip namin nung January we booked thru Airbnb. Mas tipid kasi at mas malaki ang space than if we book at hostels. We were 4 adults and 2 kids nun. Checked the reviews first. Hospitable at mabait yung may-ari ng apartment namin. Nasa Yau Ma Tei area kami and walking distance lang sa MTR station.

[miclen20]

^thanks sis...

[hime]

@supladitang cute Tama sis, mag- Macau ka na lang.

[xnicax]

^Yes. Last trip namin nung January we booked thru Airbnb. Mas tipid kasi at mas malaki ang space than if we book at hostels. We were 4 adults and 2 kids nun. Checked the reviews first.

Yehey! Thanks sis. Buti nabasa ko to. Plan ko din kasi sa airbnb. Pero minsan may mga reviews na nacacancel daw. So worried ako sa airbnb fee na non-refundable. Pero may nakita ko sa TST area, ok na din kasi accessible and mas ok yung space and mga gamit nila compared sa hostel.

[Heatherette]

^My friend recommended Airbnb sa amin. We checked all the reviews plus yung response time nung owner (better kung 100%) and when we posted our queries, ang bilis nga sumagot nung may-ari. Mag-asawa yung may-ari nung apartment na tinuluyan namin. May passcode sa building mismo then may steel doors then wooden door yung sa mismong apartment. 2 ang keys nyan. The owner met us at 11pm na (late kasi flight namin) then sinamahan kami sa apartment. Complete amenities na except for water pero ang daming mabibilhan around the apartment.

2 bedrooms yung amin plus may king-sized na sofa bed. Pati towels, toiletries, socket para sa charger, complete talaga. Nakakatuwa nga may Opal na shampoo pa dun sa CR haha May washing machine din pero di na namin nagamit. Nagamit namin yung lutuan kasi nagluluto kami ng Quaker oats. Sandamakmak na toilet paper, plastic garbage, etc... Kaya nga pag babalik kami, sa Airbnb na ulit kami mag-check.

[sophistique]

Hi sisses, I just want to ask if this itinerary is feasible? We'll stay sa Nathan Road, TST area.

I know nakakapagod yung travel to Disney for 2 days (2 hours per way?) lalo sa TST area kami mag-stay kaso yun request ng kasama namin yung 2-day pass.  But of course, if it's hassling at hindi talaga kaya, we'll check:

May 18 – Sunday
9:00 AM                        HKIA arrival
12:00 NN                        Finish check-in at hotel
2:00 PM – 9:00 PM             Disneyland until fireworks
11:00 PM                        Lights off

May 19 – Monday

7:00 PM                        Travel to Peak
8:00 AM – 12:00 NN             Madame Tussauds, Sky Terrace, Lunch
2:30 PM – 9:00 PM             Disneyland until fireworks
11:00 PM                        Lights off

May 20 – Tuesday

9:00 AM                        Macau Arrival
7:00 PM                        HKG Arrival
8:00 PM                        Avenue of Stars for Symphony of Lights
8:30 – 11:00 PM                     Dinner and a bit of shopping at Harbour City TST


Thank you very much in advance for your help! 

[princess lorraine]

^sis, mga 30-45 mins lang travel via mtr from tsim sha tsui to disneyland. 

[iamtsina]

Hello, mga sis. Feedback sa Cosmic Guesthouse please? Dito namin plan magstay come June. Yung tickets sa Disneyland, Oceanpark, saan pwede magpurchase na may discount?
