Here we are wearing our Disney Shirts. Rome in Mickey Mouse, Me in Daisy Duck, peanutbutter♥ in Tigger, My sis who calls herself Anney in Arielle and Ykaie in Winnie the Pooh.

At Around 3:30pm, the Flights of Fantasy Parade started on Main Street

Ykaie was so amazed to see the Disney Characters in their floats…

Winnie the Pooh Characters and dancers…

I was able to capture a photo of ykaie with one of the floats..

There was a part there where the parade stopped and they danced. They pulled some kids from the audience to dance with them and Ykaie is one of the kids who danced. Who would have thought she had tummy ache?..LOL!

The Disney Princesses…

Of course, Ykaie’s favorite character of them all—Tinkerbell!!

After getting settled in our rooms at the Dorsett Far East Hotel, we immediately changed into our “Disney shirts” and left for Disneyland. peanutbutter♥ was wearing Tigger, I wore Daisy Duck and Ykaie has two outfits — Winnie the Pooh and Minnie Mouse outfits.

Dia, Joff and Rome

“Mommy, let’s get the tickets…“

Ykaie was very excited. She wanted to see Tinkerbell!

Tickets costs HKD 350 for adults and HKD250 for kids

Be sure to bring extra moolah as the exchange rate is HKD 1=P6. I’m sure you’ll be buying lots of drinks and snacks inside.

at the entrance..We went our separate ways with the group because everyone wanted to go to the different parts of the resort. Ykaie has tummy ache and was still jetlagged from her first flight. We have to take it slowly for her.

Disabled in Disneyland..LOL!

We decided to rent for a stroller but they said she is already too heavy for it and it will be unsafe for her if we let her ride one so we opt for a wheelchair instead. It will be too heavy for peanutbutter♥ to carry her all around Disneyland…LOL!

Whenever we are going to take a picture and Ykaie is feeling up for it, she goes down her wheelchair to pose. The wheelchair was actually partly for tummy ache, jet lag, sleepiness and tiredness.

We have so many photos so I decided to divide my posts into a few parts…

Arriving HongKong Airport

June 6, 2011 / Filed Under: Hong Kong, Out of the Country, package, tips, tour, travels

When we arrived at the HongKong Airport, our main concern is to meet the tour guide who will take us to our hotel. Good thing there are designated meeting spots so we immediately located him.

I know I looked pretty banged up for a 2-hour flight..LOL!

Since we were planning to go to a lot of places, we purchased Octopus Cards at the airport. The colorful ones are for peanutbutter and me {priced at HKD 150} and the pink is for Ykaie {priced at HKD 70}.

Octopus Cards are magnetic cards which you use in the MTR or Mass Transit Railways {Like LRT and MRT here}. It can also be used to buy food and products at the 7-11, McDonalds and other establishments. It is like a universal card. If it runs out of money, you can have it reloaded at the MTR stations and if it still has money when you’re leaving HK, you can return it at the airport and get a refund with what’s left.

I didn’t have it refunded, though. I used the leftover load to buy some “pasalubongs” {travel gift}.

This is our first out-of-the-country trip as a family {peanutbutter♥, ykaie and me}. It was a very exciting experience….this one of the {little and big} adventures that I wanted to experience with peanutbutter♥ and ykaie. Everything is just more fun and more exciting when I do it with them…
