The first time we went to hk was almost 4 years ago..we booked everything thru a travel agency,  not the usual package na inooffer nila na may compulsory city tour pa etc, bale customized kasi your choice of airline, hotel etc..convenient to kasi ibibigay na lang nila plane tickets, hotel saka tickets ng disneyland etc plus of course with airport transfers saka coach na susundo/hatid sa inyo from a tourist spot back to your hotel saka di na kami pumila...but definitely mas mahal kesa sa diy..we will be in hk again next month.. We initially wanted to book thru agency again kaso when i compared, sobrang layo ng prices nila sa mock booking ko sa hotel, airline etc..i was surprised na may sneak in fee pa yung kid ko considering na max of 4 pax naman sa disney hollywood hotel..so ending, didnt avail their services na, diy na lang kami sobrang laki din matitipid, panshopping na lang 😀

Hi kindly check po our itenerary for our hK trip

disneyland

Day 2 - check out disneyland hotel at 11am

Day 3 - Ocean Park

Day 4 - last day since ang flight namin to manila is 6pm pa.. Okay po ba na mag macau kami? Or masyado na gahol sa oras? TIA!

[chinablue]

not to rain on your parade sis, pero di na kakayanin kung magmacau pa kayo on your last day. travel from hk to macau pa lang is mga one hour tapos may immigration pa. tapos you have to be at the hk airport pa 2-3 hours before your flight so it means at least mga 1 pm dapat umaalis na kayo ng macau. pagod, sakit ng katawan, at gastos lang aabutin ninyo. macau can't be enjoyed in a half day. kung mahilig kayo sa gardens, why not visit nan lian garden? o pwede din naman magfood trip or last-minute shopping na lang kayo sa umaga. just a suggestion sis.

[aleng_maganda]

Oo nga sis naisip ko din yun. Mag shop around na lang siguro kami on our last day. Ive been to hk twice na kaya lang di pa ko nakarating ng Macau.

It was hot sa disney nung Thursday. Around 21 degrees medyo pawisan yung anak ko, pero nung gabi malamig na ulit mga 16 degrees. My friend, na naubusan na ng fund used her BDO debit on our last day and she said mas mababa yung conversion so mas nakatipid daw siya. On one of her receipt, I think i saw 6.2 yung exchange rate, pero nung Friday pa yun, i think mas mababa na ngayon.

Yung Happy Valley race track ba okay ang location? The hotel Im looking at is near that place kasi. Okay naman kahit walang tourist spots, etc. Basta may food/shopping?

[anniegurl]

Is anyone in hongkong now? Hows the weather?

[donya_dyosa]
