Hong Kong Disneyland is Asia's premier Disney park where classic magic meets Oriental charm. Located on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, the park offers a unique blend of familiar Disney classics and attractions. The park is on a smaller scale than the American and Japanese counterparts, but is full of unique experiences you won't find anywhere else. From the mysterious Mystic Manor to the fairytale World of Frozen, here you literally step into another world.
Location and accessibility
The Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is located at Lantau Island, just a 20-minute drive from Hong Kong International Airport. Also with the special Disneyland train (MTR) travel comfortably and quickly to the park in 30 minutes. The train's iconic Mickey windows and Disney figurines make the journey an experience in itself. From downtown Hong Kong, you can reach the park in about 40 minutes, ideal for both a day visit and a longer vacation.
Attractions and shows
Hong Kong Disneyland may be more compact than some other Disney parks, but the range of attractions and shows is surprisingly diverse and full of unique experiences you won't find anywhere else.
- Mystic Manor - An absolute must-do and found exclusively at Disney Hong Kong. This innovative darkride takes you through the mysterious mansion of Lord Henry Mystic, where magical artifacts come to life. Not a haunted house, but a visual spectacle full of humor, details and impressive effects.
- Iron Man Experience - Step aboard Stark Industries’ latest invention and fly along the Hong Kong skyline in 3D. This attraction is unique in the world and lets you experience the iconic Victoria Harbour as only Tony Stark can.
- Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars - A roller coaster with a surprising twist, where you not only race forward but also backward through the mines.
Hong Kong Disneyland also has a wonderful evening show called Momentous. When night falls, the park comes alive with this breathtaking light show. Expect giant projections on the castle, music from classics and new Disney films, dancing fountains and a grand fireworks display.
World of Frozen
The brand new World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland was the first themed area in the world to open with a complete dedication to Arendelle and the beloved characters from Disney's Frozen films. As soon as you step into the area, you are surrounded by snowy mountain peaks, colorful Norwegian architecture and atmospheric music from the films.
You'll find two major attractions here:
- Frozen Ever After - An enchanting boat ride that takes you past familiar scenes and songs from Frozen. Along the way you will meet Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff in beautifully detailed settings.
- Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleighs - A merry family roller coaster where you glide in a sleigh through the hills of Arendelle, with Oaken himself as your enthusiastic host.
In addition to the attractions, World of Frozen features regular entertainment, including short performances in the plaza and meet-and-greets with your favorite Frozen characters. For the real foodies, there are unique snacks ranging from blue soft-serve ice creams and warm cinnamon rolls to colorful drinks with snowflake decorations - all exclusive to this area.
Combining attractions, atmosphere, live entertainment and photogenic treats, World of Frozen is an absolute must-see at Hong Kong Disneyland.
Restaurants and snacks
At Hong Kong Disneyland, of course, food is also a big part of the experience. Each area has its own culinary surprises, often inspired by the theming and Disney stories. Highly recommended is the Explorers Club Restaurant, located in Mystic Point. Here you will sample international dishes in beautifully themed rooms, each dedicated to a different continent.
You'll also find creative and often temporary treats throughout the park. Think dim sum in Mickey form, churros with seasonal flavors and colorful desserts inspired by Disney characters. At World of Frozen you can feast on blue soft serve ice creams, warm cinnamon rolls and festive drinks with snowflake decoration!
The individual stalls and cafes also deserve attention. For example, try the classic popcorn (available in collectible Disney buckets) or get a refreshing bubble tea in Fantasyland.
