For this school break, we headed back to Thailand and then went to Japan for a few weeks before coming back home to work and doing it all over again. We recently heard that Disneyland Hong Kong has newly opened World of Frozen or most likely to be known as Arendelle Castle or Elsa's Ice Palace. This new Frozen theme land in Hong Kong Disneyland is apparently the first and the only in the world 'at the moment'. While we flew with Cathay, we made a short one night stop purely to visit this place. We also stayed at one of the Hong Kong Disneyland resorts for a convenient and easy access to a magical journey.
Their airline food wasn't that bad actually. Especially, with this pork congee for breakfast, it was a little too salty but otherwise nice for rejuvenating from a jet-lagged syndrome.
With Cathay flight, we arrived Hong Kong airport at dawn. So, we kinda have a full day and half until our next flight to Bangkok tomorrow afternoon. From the airport, we catch taxi to take us directly to the resort. They have a few taxi zones at the airport, just making sure to get to the right stand. To go to Disneyland resort, you need to get a taxi from Lantau stand. The taxi ride took around 30 minutes and we paid HK$ 197.
As we arrived extremely early, we just dropped our luggage then washed our face and got into our costume ready for some fun and good time. I will come back with more review on the resort itself, what is look like inside our room and surrounding. It will be on my next post, please stay tuned.
Ok, so now, back onto Disneyland story. From the resort, there is a free shuttle bus to take us to and from Disneyland theme park. We bought our park entry in advance from Klook. Totally recommended and keep looking out for some discounts from time to time. We bought the exclusive World of Frozen ticket. Just a little extra but it is including an early entry permit. It means we could get in into the park an hour earlier than regular ticket holders. It was absolutely worthed it. Even though, there were lots of people with early entry already queueing in front of the entrance gate by the time we arrived. Once we got through the entrance gate, we headed straight to Frozen Ever After ride. I can't believe my eyes that people were actually running toward places they wanted to go. However, when we were there at the ride, it was still very little queue, nearly nothing. But not long after the park opened for everyone, we saw the line was massive and it would take about 1 hour wait minimal. Phewww... It made my day. Not only that, but we were able to take lots of pictures on important landmarks with hardly noone too.
After the ride, I just remembered that we haven't got a proper breakfast this morning beside that flight meal. We spotted this restaurant just outside Frozen Ever After. It is called Golden Crocus Inn restaurant. Although, it would not be my first choice to start with. I am more like a person who looking for a theme food in a theme park place. But we were really starving, so no fuss and I can just have anything for now. Their menu comes as a set. So, you will get one cookie and a drink as well with your main meal. Everything tastes yummy when you are super hungry.

| Chicken roll with ham and cheese HK$218 (around A$43) |
 |
| Braised lamb shank HK$ 238 (about A$ 47) |
After that, still in Arendelle area, we grabbed a few sweets from Northern Delight shop. They make all these cute little goodies, like cake, muffin, donut and also soft serve.
There is a clear window where you can see how they make their goodies. So enchanting...

| Olaf soft serve HK$ 65 (about A$ 13) |
 |
| Olaf donut HK$ 50 (about A$ 10) |
 |
| Mickey Mouse waffle with drink HK$ 90 (about A$ 17.75) |
I don't understand why everytime we come to Disneyland, we need to get this Mickey Mouse pancake. Their taste is pretty mediocre yet it comes with a pricey tag. But still, without them, a trip to Disneyland won't feel completed.

| Steamed corn HK$ 30 (about A$ 6) |
Always a happy moment when meeting with your favourite characters. Brings back the inner child in me.
We missed the parade because by afternoon, we were really exhausted and drained out from not having a good night sleep on the plane. We went back to our hotel room and had a nap. What worst was by the time we got up it was already nearly 8pm when the fireworks about to light up. We ended up miss that firework show as well. At first, we planned to stay at Disneyland Resort because it will be convenient to travel back and forth to the park, but we really screwed it. What a shame!!!
Stay tuned for the next blog about Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel:
