Alam niyo po ba kung pwede ipa reschedule or refund yung sa golden crown? 
Hindi na pala kami matutuloy ngayong JUly

[rocky]

^nasa conditions nila nakalagay "deposit are non-refundable for rescheduling/leaving earlier than your confirmed check-out date upon arrival". sis, try mo na lang email sila

Anyone who has been to HK recently? How much ang rates ng HK Disneyland sa CTS?? TIA!

[MedChic]

Sis ember_sky, last year di din kami natuloy sa HK, golden crown din kami, pero may refund. Depende sa weeks or days from your reservation, may corresponding % ang pwedeng isoli, definitely di marerefund ang buo. Pero ok na din na may bumalik. I got mine via paypal, tapos pwedeng ikeep na parang bank and pwede mo magamit sa ibang online transactions.

any reviews sa hotel benito?

[rocky]

mga sis na nasa HK. maulan pa rin ba? TIA

[princess lorraine]

^^ok daw location ng hotel benito sis. Nung first stay ng friend ko dun ok daw talaga lahat. But during their second stay, they found some insects on the beds of the family room. Nagcomplain sila and they were immediately transferred to a new room.

[rocky]

^yes location maganda talaga. paglabas mo puro foodchain & jan kami kumakain sa area na yan kasi malapit lang din sa GC

[Diane]

Any recommended hotels near airport?this time we have 2 toddlers and since night yung dating namin, we plan to get a good hotel near airport or disney area. then will transfer either disney hollywood / disneyland hotel after. Apprecuate your feedback TIA!

[mama squeak!]

^why not go straight to your preferred hotel na lang? Tutal malapit lang naman sa airport yung Disney hotels. With two toddlers better to settle in na on your first night para easy-easy na lang kayo the next day. Compare that to unpacking for the first night then gathering all your stuff the next day to check in to another hotel. Parang andaming movement.

Yey! Mukhang ok na ang weather sa hk. Next week na trip namin.

[roxyhart]

I was there last weekend until Monday night. It was raining almost the entire weekend, but we were able to go around and shop, shop, shop naman. Hehe. And then, last Monday was a beautiful sunny yet cool day! I miss all the fresh dim dum and the shops na. Haha.

ano po ang best time na magvisit sa hongkong disneyland?

[swtgrl_bee]

Finally, makakarating na din kami ng Hong Kong. Next year pa naman for my daughter's 7th birthday. Travel dates March 26 to 30 2017.

May hotel kaya na PHP 5,000 around TST? I tried to mock booked some hotels kasi unavailable pa yung mga rooms. Masyado pa sigurong maaga.

[runbarbierun]

ano po ang best time na magvisit sa hongkong disneyland?

Personally, Nov-March pinakaokay kasi malamig hahaha went there ng Weekday din, walang masyadong tao and walang pila sa mga rides 

[orangepulp]

Going to HK in July pero downside lang mainit.

[yanah12]

Sino na naka pag stay sa Golden crown? Okay ba duon?

Then duon din ba cheapest ang tickets like DL and OP? May iba pa ba nagbebenta ng tix?

[angelyum_18]

Sis, i'm torn between hotel benito or golden crown? which one can you recommend?

[rocky]

^sis, kung may budget ka hotel benito or holiday mile inn. pero kung tutulugan lang naman & mura, golden crown

^^sis yanah12, kung magbabackread ka sa previous thread halos lahat ng sis dito nakapag-stay na sa golden crown

here's my TRAVEL REPORT

APRIL 27 (Mongkok & The Peak)
10am nasa HK na kami, natagalan lang kami sa baggage claim kakahintay ng stroller. yon pala nasa gilid lang hindi nilagay sa carousel so sayang 1 hour namin bumili kami octopus card, 2 yrs old free pa. sakay kami bus A21 pa-TST then check-in sa golden crown. since hindi pa ready room namin, iniwan na lang muna namin luggage namin sa reception then nag-lunch. after lunch balik kami sa GC para mag-ayos. nasa yiu fai guesthouse (same owner) kami nilagay, mas ok sya kesa don sa room sa 13th floor na napag-stayhan ko dati. sakto lang yong room parang bago pa, ok din CR & malakas wifi. sa labas may water station na may hot, cold & ice. nakatipid kami ng malaki dito. punta kaming mongkok bili ng powerbank sa MI, yong 10,000mah nasa HKD99 lang may free engrave pa. then meryenda sa cafe de coral. after that the peak na kami. dito mahaba pila kasi almost 6pm na kami nakarating, hehe parang palengke sa taas tapos malamig. ginagawa yong avenue of stars & clock tower kaya wala kaming pic hindi na rin namin naabutan yong SOL sa harbour kaya nagdinner na lang kami then balik na sa GC. lumabas pa ako bandang 11 naglakad-lakad para hanapin yong cotton on & prizemart kaso sarado na. may nadaanan akong masarap na pork bun sa kimberley road, sayang nga 2 pcs. lang binili ko

APRIL 28 (Disneyland)
10am picture2x sa labas then pila sa mga daga. habang nakapila kami umambon. next philharmagic buti paglabas namin wala ng ulan. then lunch sa royal banquet hall. lion king, flights of fantasy parade, it's a small world, sakay ng mga rides & train, paint the night parade & last fireworks. since 3rd time ko na sa disneyland hindi na ako masyadong excited. saka iba na yong fireworks nakulangan ako. mas bongga yong dati

APRIL 29 (Giant Buddha)
dito sayang din 1 hour namin sa pila ng voucher. ako na lang umakyat sa buddha habang hinihintay ako ng mga kasama ko sa baba. then kain ng streetfood malapit sa ngong ping village. wala ng pila pabalik. hindi na kami nakapunta ng citygate dahil gahol na sa oras, need namin mag-checkout then tawid ng macau. soli yong octopus card para makuha yong refund. bumili na lang ako ng perfume sa bonjour baba ng GC
