Hong Kong Disneyland Revisited with HKDL Challenge Trail.

I revisited Hong Kong Disneyland again! Twice in the same year, that's magical isn't!

This time around I was invited for Hong Kong Disneyland Challenge Trail, a filming for NTV7 Breakfast Show. I couldn't say no can't I? What more this time around, I took the opportunity to play all the attractions in Hong Kong Disneyland that  baby princess(my little sister) didn't want to play when I was with her earlier this year.

What I like most about Hong Kong Disneyland is that it's relatively 4 hours away from Kuala Lumpur and it's easily accessible by all major flight. I flew in via Cathay Pacific (Yay, another airline to the list!) and the comfy flight prepared me for my Hong Kong Disneyland Trail Challenge! 

Anyhow, little that I know that I would be staying at Hollywood Hotel AGAIN and when I told baby princess, all see can said was "Y U NO BRING ME?" All I could do was just laugh and said "It's work baby" without telling her that I had loads of fun playing! You can read all about the Hollywood Hotel in my post here. 

Nothing better than starting the day a selfie! All geared up for HKDL Challenge Trail.

The Hong Kong Disneyland Trail was divided into a few challenges that involved some of the most interesting rides in Hong Kong Disneyland including the newly opened Mystic Manor.

We kicked off with a fun ride on the Big Grizzly Mountain ride! Honestly, I don't do well with high speed attractions whatmore having to focus on the challenge, which was to look for coloured cardboard and do movements accordingly. But I survived though I probably shouted some of the most ridiculous things on the ride!

The next round begins at what I thought the most innocent park in Hong Kong Disneyland - the Toy Story Land. Apparently the ride which was RC Racer we were taking wasn't any innocent, thank God I didn't have to do it. I have to thank Glen (the HKDL Challenge Trail NTV7 Breakfast Show winner!) to take the bullet for our Blue team. I did enjoyed reminiscing my childhood by loitering around The Toy Story Land - I wanna be a kid again!

After the gruesome ride, they decided that we can have a rather fun-loving ride at the Fantasyland in the
Mad Hatter Tea Cup Rides. Too bad I don't have photo on the ride, we were given equations to be solved while being spanned around! Our Blue team took it way too seriously and ended up counted everything wrongly! Talk about having engineers in our team, kidding! :P

Then the HKDL Challenge Trail continued at Main Street Usa where the Monster University(Yes, it exists people!) and the Animation Academy are for our next challenge. It all boils down to who knows how to to draw, too bad I only have hands for writing, my Mickey Mouse turned out 70 year older than he should be!

 

It then goes to the final challenge, which I had enticipated since before leaving Malaysia - the Mystic Point. It was here that that the both teams had to put our focus-brain on and focus on all the detailing in here. It was a combination of technology and tricks that gave us the chance to travel in the Antic of Lord Henry Mystic with his companion Albert the Monkey. It's such an enchanted journey that I nearly lose my focus. Definitely a MUST VISIT for anyone visiting Hong Kong Disneyland!

Discover Hong Kong Disneyland Challenge Trail!

Yes, you read that right- I am going to Hong Kong again! :D

If you have been following me, you would know that I brought my lil sister, baby princess, to Hong Kong Disneyland earlier this year. Yeah, the one my mom told me I should spent my time with my family after I went backpacking to Laos for a month. It was fun but I had the 4 days being a parent to my sister- didn't have much fun for myself but am glad baby princess had fun! :P

So when yesterday I got an email inviting me to participate in Discover Hong Kong Disneyland Challenge Trail- all I can reply to the PR was "I'm in! :D" (I was busy volunteering at Lassie Langkawi). Not only that I will be going back to Hong Kong and Hong Kong Disneyland, this challenge trail will be filmed and aired on the NTV7 Breakfast Show - a famous local morning-english-coffee-show in Malaysia!

I was also told that I will be running alongside some of Malaysia's famous bloggers- Redmummy, BeautifulNara and Bwincessnana. I feel so small! Nonetheless while tweeting them- I can see how excited we are to race among each other in Hong Kong Disneyland!

I will be flying there on the 7th October- till then I will keep you guys updated and might need your help while am racing there! Till then, keep on travelling peeps! :D

What to eat at Hong Kong Disneyland.

Yes, food is like one of the most important aspects in a trip. I’m okay with anything as long as it’s halal, am good to go. But you know mom being mom, I had to make sure that I made the right reservation for our trip.

For all you Muslim Malaysians out there, fret not, Hong Kong Disneyland has halal outlet in their park. But you can also opt for vegetarian or crustacean meals at Crystal Lotus Restaurant that is situated at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. You can take the shuttle bus from the station or from the Hollywood Hotel if you are staying there, like I did! ;)

This award-winning restaurant offers outstanding cuisine from four major culinary regions of China: Sichuan, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. Specially created Disney Dim Sum is available too! We had a really hearty Pumpkin soup with Tofu, Braised vegetable and mushroom, fried rice and DUFFY SHAPED DESSERT!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *kawaii*!

I found that in the park, there is actually a halal-certified called the Tahitian. But having a little sister who likes fast food, plus the fries were really good, we ate at (can you help with the name) in Tomorrowland. 

We had each a set of Fish Burger with Fries and drinks. The burger was delish! Simple, warm bun with deep fried fish fillet, very satisfying! :D

On the 2nd day I was there, I booked for us to have breakfast at Enchanted Garden with the Disney characters! I kept it a secret from my little sister, fun to see her shocking fast! It was a nice buffet breakfast and the best part was definitely meeting the Disney characters that close!

Even in the park, you can have some really nice popcorn (I bought some home!), ice- cream and Mickey shaped waffle! I am missing all the food at Hong Kong Disneyland! ><

It was all a great experience at Hong Kong Disneyland. I would definitely recommend it , be it for children or even adult like me! Live your childhood once again and relive it with more memories that I’m sure will leave you in Awe for ever! :D

Till then, keep on travelling peeps! :D
