I'd heard mixed things before coming to HK Disney and as a big fan of Disney parks  we've done Florida and Anaheim in the last 18 months, I was worried that this small park would fail in comparison. But to my delight this was not true.There is enough familiar to be Disney but enough different to delight. I loved the it's a small world that includes Disney characters. Where we in other rides spot the country, here we were hunting the characters! Look out for our favourites, the 3 cabelleros! We were so lucky the Iron Man ride had just opened and this was awesome. As fans of Star Tours, we were familiar with the concept. But still found the ride a thrill!Apparently the park is always quiet til lunchtime. We certainly found this. We queued for nothing till around parade time 3pm. So arrive early as you will feel like you have the park just for yourself.The shows  Mickey book and Lion King were up their with the best Disney park shows I've seen. The Lion King is different to the Animal Kingdom one so not to be missed. The parades  again, up there with the best. I particularly loved the Electrical Light show just before fireworks. We had no problem having good viewing even for my 4 years old. He danced the whole way through!I was surprised that the retail experience was not as huge as I thought. Ok, I might be comparing to WDW but I had thought the Chinese would be up on the whole Disney merchandise?! What was really different was an absence of Disney t shirts other than on western visitors. I feel out of place without my Mickey T in a US theme park. Here I didn't see a princess,pirate or personalised family party at all!I love Chinese food. But my one suggestion, and my one fail was to try traditional Chinese food on my family at Disney. This is not the place to experiment on them! Stick to what you know they will eat   to boost up their energy levels and hit the park!And consider doing 2 days if you are a real fan. We were there all day and missed a few rides that we went back a second day to do, even though there were no really long queues.
