Hong Kong Guide (Thread 38)

^they give out the passes at 10 am, the moment they open the gates to the castle (Main Street is open before 10am so come early). The cast members who give out the passes stay outside the restaurant behind the gift shop near the castle (sorry im not sure how do you call that area). Just present your park tickets to them. nung 2nd day kami nakakuha ng passes. my husband did a "buwis-buhay" run to get ours. our daughters were able to have their pictures taken with Elsa (sayang wala si Anna. on our 1st day present sila both). we actually had 5 passes but my son fell asleep. I gave away our extra 2 tickets to a mom and daughter.

Thanks for the tips, sis!

Does GC have hair blower? Hehe, just wondering. 3 days na laaang! Hope the weather is good next week.

[ellyrem]

^ Yes meron yan sis blower.. standard yata yan sa kanila na meron. 😊

[friendlyneighbor]

Subscribing. We will be there on Feb 5, 3D 2N lang kami pero exit namin sa macau. We want our 1st day in DL, then 2nd day, OP and The peak. Worth it bang pumunta ng the peak sa umaga? as in early AM? Want to see kasi the night shows sa OP, so will be in the Peak mga 8AM then alis kami before 11AM going to OP. Ok ba yung ganung itinerary? Thanks

Hi sisses!

Currently here in HK, staying in cosmic guesthouse, so far ito advise ko sa mga papunta pa lang dito:

1.) Malamig na dito, di na biro ang lamig. Haha! Di na talaga pwedeng mag-shorts, napabili tuloy kami ng leggings dahil nanunuot na lamig esp sa umaga and papagabi.

2.) Ok namam ang cosmic guesthouse, i stand 5'6 and my companion 5'8, comfortable pa kami sa room size and bed. Ang hindi lang talaga ok eh ang cr, ang liit talaga. I mean, maliit na nga size ang laki pa ng size ng sink and bowl nila kaya lumiit cr. May free hot water dito na nasa common area same with tissue kaya kuha lang ng kuha and may hair blower din sa common area.

3.) Mas malamig sa hong kong island kumpara sa kowloon. Nasa central kc kami kahapon and grabe talaga lamig tas pagtawid namin ng TST bearable ang lamig.

4.) Sobrang lucky namin nung Friday kc nag-hotel hopping kami sa disney hotels, sakto nasa gift shop ang team kramer. Was able to have a pic with them. Kami lang pinoy dun so kung talagang di maganda ugali ng mag-asawa eh pwede nila kami tanggihan na magpapic pero sobrang accommodating nila, nakakatuwa! They even talked to kendra to have a pic with me kc nagta-tantrums kendra dahil di binilhan ng toys, naghihintay na kasi car nila for their tour. Ganda ni kendra lalo na sa malapitan. Mukhang manika! Basta super down to earth ng mag-asawa. Nakakabilib! Hehe!

Yan muna sisses.. hehe!

Btw, may nakatry na ba sa inyo bumili sa Godwell, Sasa, Bonjour, and the likes using credit card? Ok po ba and wala naman kayong na-encounter na problem?

Thank you! 😊😊

[minnie99]

Thanks sis ellyrem.

Another question, does anyone know if GC allows early check-in kapag may free room? Otherwise iwan na lang namin kasi luggage while we shop and wait for 2pm. Hehe.

[rocky]

oo nga pala, di kami bumili sa GC ng tickets kasi may mura daw sa central sabi ng friend ng tita ko. share ko lang yung nabili namin tickets ng pinsan ko. sa central kami bumili sa worldwide plaza nakakatuwa toh parang lucky plaza sa singapore. so nag ikot kami dun nakita namin yung TRAVELEASY LTD 3/fl yun we bought disneyland tix - HKD400 adult/ hkd280 kid; oceanpark - hkd265/ hkd135. hope this will help you too. hehe dahil sa kagustuhan namin bumili ng mas murang ticket.. haha nakagala na din kami sa central..

jan din kami bumili dati. pero nong gagamitin namin CC may additional charge. saka kung yan lang sasadyain nyo sa central eh plus pamasahe pa sis mas ok pa rin rate ng GC

[Heatherette]

Thank you sa tip kay Anna and Elsa

My daughter is a frozen fanatic. We 'll be there in march and we will be staying at disneyland hotel. Sana mamigay din sila ng passes dun.

Hong Kong tomorrow! 

Sissies, may mga schedule time ba sa Star Ferry going to TST? Manggagaling kami sa The Peak then ride Start Ferry going to TST for Avenue of Stars.

[omneecka]

^yes sis, almost every 10 minutes may schedule, no need to know the interval. Since you will watch the Symphony of Lights, be sure to be there at least 30 minutes before 8 PM, they start the show at exactly 8 PM. Once nag-start na show, stop muna Star Ferry.

Just to share, we were there last night. Ganda ng view namin, perfect na and nakaupo pa kami pero nung magsisimula na ang show, ayun, tumayo na sa harap namin mga bastos na Chinese (i'm sure of their race, sorry po sa iba) as in pumuwesto blocking our view, nung una considerate pa yung iba and umaalis pag sinisita pero yung iba, choice talagang maging bastos and inconsiderate kaya tumayo na lang kami kesa ma-high blood kakasita. Since its my 3rd time to watch SOL, di na ko disappointed with my expectation kasi di na maganda and di na lahat ng buildings nagpa-participate.

😊😊

[seven82]

excited na for our trip next week 

thanks for sharing info regarding Elsa and Anna. kailangan maaga!

anyone went to Ngong Ping? kamusta ang cable car ride?

[minaco_aino]

^yes sis, almost every 10 minutes may schedule, no need to know the interval. Since you will watch the Symphony of Lights, be sure to be there at least 30 minutes before 8 PM, they start the show at exactly 8 PM. Once nag-start na show, stop muna Star Ferry.

Thanks sis. Ilang minutes usually ang ride ng Star Ferry to TST?

[hunny_ally]

My daughter is a frozen fanatic. We 'll be there in march and we will be staying at disneyland hotel. Sana mamigay din sila ng passes dun. 

we stayed at the hollywood hotel pero sabi sa park lang talaga ang distribution. plus it is limited.

[princess lorraine]

^thanks for the info sis. Kelangan talaga agahan. 

[omneecka]

@sis minaco_aino - less than 10 minutes sis. Don't forget to buy Egg tart sa Tai Cheong Bakery sa right side pagka-akyat going to the ferry kaya dapat sis sa upper deck kayo sakay going to Central. Mas type ko yung plain egg tart which costs 6 HKD than egg tart with bacon yata yun or ham na 7 HKD naman.

@sis seven82 - maganda sis matry nyo ang crystal cabin papunta then standard cabin pabalik para mas mura. Pag mahangin sis ramdam sa loob like mejo uuga ang cable car. As much as possible, before 5.30 PM balik na kayo kasi malamig ng masyado sa cable car pag late na tsaka last week by 5.30 PM nagtatawag na for cable ride. Til 6PM lang sis ang Giant Buddha kaya akyat kayo agad if plan nyo umakyat.

@sis beijhing - 2 friends ko in different trips ang nag-stay na sa Merryland and ok naman stay nila. Wala naman silang naging reklamo. Tsaka mabait si Bruno sis yung caretaker dun.

😊😊

[seven82]

^thanks sis  last time we got the crystal cabin and enjoy daughter ko kasi kita niya lahat. nung pumunta kami June, so medyo mainit pero mahangin nung cable car ride. since malamig weather ngayon sigurado mas malamig sa cable car. baka kasi foggy and wala na masyado makita.

[beijhing]

^^thank you sis omneecka. would you know how the rooms are at Merryland sis? 6 adults + 1 6year old kasi kame. yung family room for 6 naman pina-book ko, naisip ko pwede na kami magtabi sa bed ng daughter ko. worry ko lang din kasi baka masyadong maliit yung kwarto para sa aming lahat.

baka may iba pang feedback mga sis.TIA

off topic: admin sorry sorry sorry po talaga. hindi ko napansin na puro text speak pala yung post ko kagabi. i was using husband's phone po kasi. please don't ban/remove me from the forum 

[glacy_rein]

pressured ako sa pagaayos ng ITI namen ng friends ko.. anyway sa Macau ang baba namen and we've decided na puntahan derecho ang HK paglapag namen from Macau airport..

now I've been back reading and Cosmic Guesthouse at Golden Crown Guesthouse yung lumalabas dito and from what I understand may derecho na ferry na malapit dito?? tama ba mga sis?

alin dyan sa 2 yung mas comfortable kame? hindi naman nagkakalayo ang prices nila..

thanks!

[luvko23]

^ For me mas okay Golden Crown. Yes, yung China Ferry Terminal is near Golden Crown. Around 10-15 mins walking distance.
