Disclosure: I grew up near Walt Disney World (WDW) and have been there 100  times. I only recently visited the original Disneyland, and then a few days later visited Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time. Overall Impression: My husband and I really enjoyed this park, and it was our favorite when compared to Disneyland Anaheim or California Adventure. It's much smaller than WDW, but that is part of what makes it charming. Travel: We rode the Disneyland Express MTR, which was adorable. The Mickey windows and various Disney details on the train cars were adorable. That said, we opted for a cab on the way home to avoid the need for several trains. There is a cab area with clear designations about which cabs go to which parts of Hong Kong.Best Rides:Mystic Manor     I have a love affair with the Haunted Mansion, so I was surprised when I ended up loving Mystic Manor even more. One of the best rides I   ve ever done at any Disney park. There   s a lot of great story which is a nice bonus, but really the ride itself just really unique. I   ve never been on anything quite like it. It   s trackless, and the mansion just feels HUGE and grandiose in a way I wasn   t expecting. We loved it so much we rode it twice.Hyperspace Mountain     To be fair, we didn   t ride Space Mountain at Disneyland, in part because the Hyperspace Mountain elements were already removed from that one. But Hyperspace Mountain at HKD was AWESOME. There   s something to be said for rocketing off with Star Wars music blaring, and tie fighters and X Wings shooting all around you. So much fun we rode it twice.Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars     So many twists and turns with this coaster that were unexpected and a lot of fun. At first glance it looked like a Big Thunder Mountain copy cat, but it was SO much better than that.Iron Man Experience     This was a pretty classic simulator, but we enjoyed it quite a bit. Lots of fun, and not nearly as    jerky    as Star Tours. In fact, I thought the ride was pretty smooth and enjoyable, whereas a lot of simulators usually leave me feeling a little sick.Honorable Mentions: The Festival of the Lion King show at HDK. Not a ride, but a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I had never done this at Animal Kingdom, and with HK being so horribly hot and humid in summer, it was a perfect break. Food thoughts: We ate lunch in Tomorrowland. My husband got an Iron Man burger that actually had the Iron Man helmet logo on the bun. I got fried chicken, which came with little plastic gloves to keep your hands from getting messy. Never seen that before, but helpful!Lines and Crowds: We visited Hong Kong Disneyland on a Friday. We never waited more than 30 minutes for anything. For Hyperspace Mountain we walked right on the first time with barely a 5 minute wait. We did pass up some Marvel meet and greets due to 60 minute wait times though. Getting food at all three parks was surprisingly painless. No long lines for food and no stalking tables to find a spot to eat.
