About joining/not joining a group

As far as one-day tours are concerned, you won’t save much money by joining a group. Generally, you will be taken by bus to Huanggang, Shenzhen to exit customs, and then A bus will pick you up and take you to the entrance of Disneyland, drop you off, give you tickets, and take care of yourself on the return trip. Friends who come to Hong Kong for the first time recommend this method to avoid becoming a blind fly. Friends who are already familiar with Hong Kong can travel freely. Take the Harmony Bus at Guangzhou East Railway Station for 75 yuan to Shenzhen Luohu. After passing the customs, there is a special bus to Disneyland. However, it is recommended to take the subway (transfer 4-5 times). It costs more than 50 yuan and you can get there. Disney Station. Another advantage of not joining a group is that you can control your own time. If the weather is bad, you can reschedule. I was very unlucky. It was cloudy and rainy on the day I went, but I couldn’t reschedule after signing up for a tour.

About departure time

Disneyland opens at 10 am. In order to make full use of your time (because the day is actually a bit tight), it is best to arrive before 10 o'clock. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen Harmony Line takes 1 hour, and it takes at least 30 minutes to pass the customs. Luohu-Disney takes about 1 hour. Therefore, going back, it is best to arrive at Guangzhou East Railway Station before 7 o'clock. If you are joining a group, you will usually gather in Guangzhou around 6:30. The time spent on the journey is almost the same as traveling independently.

About tickets

Disney ticket prices will vary depending on the time. The ticket price on "normal days" is 290 yuan/person, and the ticket price on "special days" is 350 yuan/person. There will be some special programs on "special days". For example, this time's "Mickey's Christmas House" and "Starlight Royal Ball" are only available from Christmas to the Lunar New Year. To know which day is a "special day", you can check on their official website. Admission tickets include all attractions and theater performances.

Notes on entry

Things that cannot be brought in: pets, canned drinks, food, dangerous goods, strollers (except strollers and wheelchairs).

The important thing to note here is that when you enter, someone will open your bag and check, rummage through things and pinch them everywhere. If there are canned drinks such as Coke, Sprite, etc., they will take them out and throw them away without politeness. Lose. In principle, you cannot bring food (you are encouraged to go inside and consume it), but the actual operation is not too strict. You can wrap the food in clothes, bags, etc., and then put it into a big bag. Do not hold it in your hands. on, otherwise it will be 100% forfeited. Also, don’t expect there to be supermarkets or places to eat around Disneyland. There aren’t. It’s a remote corner of Lantau Island. If you want to eat, please go in and eat - -+.

In addition, when you enter the venue, someone will hand you a map (including an introduction to all rides, as well as the locations of restaurants, shops, and WC) and a timetable (including Schedule of various music performances, theaters, fireworks, parties, etc.). Keep these two items as they are very useful and many facilities have fixed opening hours. For example, "Mickey Suits the Musical" only performs 6-8 times a day. This time I missed it because I couldn't find the schedule.

About the parade and fireworks show times

The parade is a program that cannot be missed. There are only two trips a day, at 3:30 pm and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The start time of the fireworks show also varies every day. Sunday-Wednesday: 9pm. Thursday-Friday: 8pm. Saturday: 7pm. The fireworks show will be held above the Sleeping Princess Castle, and there will be partial road closures half an hour before the start.

About the currency used in the park

If you don’t bring enough Hong Kong dollars, you can exchange them at the service center at the main entrance. There is also a "town hall" after entering the gate where you can exchange Hong Kong dollars. If you don’t have time, don’t worry. Most restaurants and shops in the park can accept RMB, but the exchange standard is 1:1. For example, if a souvenir is priced at HKD 50, and you don’t have Hong Kong dollars, you can only use RMB 50. Yuan purchase. It is said that Visa cards and UnionPay cards can be used, but I have not tried them.

About other convenience measures

There are lockers. Strollers and wheelchairs are available for rent. There is a baby care area. There are plenty of stools for you to rest on. The restroom is very nice. If you need to go out in a hurry, you can stamp your fingerprint at the door. Then, after you finish your errand, you can return to the park for free with your ticket and fingerprint for the day. After taking photos with the cartoon characters in the park, you can use the photo order coupon to buy photos at the "printing shop". However, many people bring their own cameras to take pictures, so I don’t think you need to buy them to take pictures for you (unless you are terrible at taking pictures yourself - -).

About stomach problems

Although the consumption level in the park is relatively high (a bowl of beef noodles is about 45-50 yuan), sometimes you will drool when you see others eating. There are snacks (popcorn, marshmallows, squid tentacles, ice cream), bread and pastries, coffee, noodles, hamburgers, Cantonese cuisine, and Southeast Asian cuisine available in the park. Please check the map for the specific location.

About whether the game is exciting or not

Many people are worried about this issue, fearing that the game is too exciting. But don’t worry, even my 60-year-old dad can play most of the games there. One of the most exciting entertainment facilities is the "Flying Over Space Mountain", which rotates relatively fast, so people like me who have little effort can skip it.

Disneyland can be simply divided into four areas: Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland
