Our family of 4, including our daughters ages 7 and 12, payed HKD a visit in the worst time of the year but still worth the laughs and memories. The summer is scorching hot and muggy so one should strategically plan their trip. I did not find a trip planner as I did for Disneyland in California so a lot of research and planning was done to come up with our individual itinerary. We have previously been to the Disney parks in California and Tokyo so HKD would be our third. We avoided the ticket line by purchasing online via Klook.com which was cheaper than onsite. We also purchased meal vouchers from the same website and found this to be a huge benefit. Each individual meal voucher was $35 which got us a lunch meal between noon and 4:30 p.m.; a dinner meal between 4:30 8:30 p.m. and a snack (ice pop or popcorn) anytime during the day. The meals are very Asian infused and not typical for Westerners so be open. For lunch we stopped at the Riverview Cafe where it was served in Chinese fashion (food shared amongst the table). Tea is served instead of any other beverage which you would have to pay for. We had dinner at the Royal Banquet Hall where they had various styles of food. I stuck with the Asian sushi meal (delicious!) whereas the family stuck with the American burger (not good). This was actually sufficient for our entire day. The only other thing we purchased was a water bottle or two (we used camelbaks for our water source).We decided to experience those attractions and areas that were not found in previous Disney theme parks that we visited. Based off the attractions available in Fantasyland, we decided that we would not waste our time with the majority of these attractions. We also did not waste much time with character meet and greets since. Although it was the summer and we expected huge crowds, we went during a weekday which was perfect for crowd control. The longest wait time we experienced was about 30 minutes for Winnie the Pooh (fast pass not available on our day). With our itinerary we were able to do the following: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars x 4  Mystic Manor x 2 Toy Soldier Parachute Drop RC Racer x 2 Jungle Cruise Lion King show Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster Space Mountain x 2 (fast pass) It's a Small World Winnie the Pooh Mickey's Philhar Magic Meet and greet with Minnie and Pluto Fireworks showThe order of the areas we visited were: Grizzly Gulch Mystic Point Toy Story Land Adventure Land Tomorrow Land Fantasy Land Toy Story Land Mystic Point Grizzly GulchNotice we decided to not do the street parade. First, it's too hot to be watching the parade, even in the shade. Second it's the same parade as in California. Third, since the Chinese are big into the characters, this allowed us to visit more attractions. Plan the Lion King show and Philhar Magic show (both highly recommended and in English) so that you can use them as a break to get away from the heat. Get your seats for the fireworks right after the Disney Paint the Night; about 8:30 p.m. Watch for the workers setting up the tape (boundary lines) and establish your spot. If you go during the summer, the ground is still ridiculous hot at this time so take something to sit on.7 year old daughter's review: it was fun and you would really like it. Top 3 attractions: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars (similar to Thunder Mountain in California), RC Racer, and Space Mountain.12 year old daughter's review: it was fun because there were things for kids my age to enjoy. Top 3 attractions: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, RC Racer, and Space Mountain.Wife's review (Disney fan): it was fun but it lacked the magic you expect. She felt that this was because of the workers almost seeming to not enjoy being there. Top 3 attractions: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, RC Racer, and Space Mountain.My review (Disney fan): do your research early using various sites so that you can at least get a general idea of what your day will look like. Just as in the states, try to get to the rope drop at least by 9:45 a.m. however arriving at 10:00 a.m. will not be too bad. The park is small compared to others but if you focus on this con, your day will turn out the same. Top 3 attractions: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, RC Racer, and Lion King show.
