Glampackers at Disney’s Hollywood Hotel
Wednesday, June 05, 2013Last March, I traveled to Hong Kong with Sole Sister Steph of Satori to visit Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time. If you haven't read it yet, here are the previous posts:

But we still haven't written about where we stayed- Disney’s Hollywood Hotel. Here's our experience:
As backpackers, Stephanie and I are not used to staying at hotels. But we didn't complain when they told us we were billeted at the Disney’s Hollywood Hotel for our whole stay in Hong Kong. It wasn't so bad to feel like glampackers- for a few days at least.
It’s nice to be spoiled every once in a while, right? First of all, getting to this hotel is very convenient. It’s only a few minutes away by cab from the airport if you take the blue or green taxis. It would cost you approximately 130 HKD to Lantau Island where the park is. It’s also accessible by train since Hong Kong Disneyland has its own train stop. If you do take the train, there is also a free bus service that goes around the resort on a regular basis.
We did manage to go out and explore the amenities. They had a souvenir shop and 3 restaurants where we had a wonderful buffet breakfast. There was also a garden, park and even a heated swimming pool! The garden is the perfect spot for photo shoots or just for walking around and being close to nature. It was definitely well maintained and we even saw some chipmunks and geckos walking around.

Noice! We stayed at the other one, the more "romantic" hotel. Nice to see the inside of the neighboring hotel as well. And oooooh on the mickey train! I've only ever seen it from outside!
ReplyDeleteWould love to go there again when maybe the Happy Meal is around 7 or 8 years old so she'll be more than a toddler with a gaping mouth at the sight of a real Mickey Mouse :P
Disney Hotels are always fun! Especially for kids! I'm sure the Happy Meal will want to keep coming back Eileen.
