The Hong Kong Disneyland website got a much needed facelift.  The new site includes all the flash elements you’d expect from a Disney website bringing with it the slow loading fans have come to unfortunately expect from Disney websites, but it also adds a wealth of features and information that were missing from the previous version.
Visitors can learn about the various attractions, hotels, rates, special events and more.  There is even a great interactive park map!
You can also book your vacation through the website.  There are actually some good deals going on right now.  If you stay for one …read more

Unfortunately, Hong Kong Disneyland has been a disappointment to Disney in terms of visitors. I found a cool video on YouTube today that shows Adventureland in Hong Kong Disneyland. It’s great to see the sites, but at the same time, it’s sad that there are so few people there.

Rumor has it new attractions are slated to open at Hong Kong Disneyland in the coming years. Hopefully, that will help boost attendance.
