   ll preface this with admitting that I love all things Disney. I am an American and I have been to both Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World many times over multiple decades. I   ve also been the Disneyland Paris (but that was 15 years ago   ..). I was traveling for work and had the opportunity to spend 2 days at Disneyland. This review is of the park itself without taking into consideration hotels, transportation or other things that may exist at one of the USA resorts. It is strictly a review and some comparisons to other versions of the Disneyland park or the    Magic Kingdom    as it is called in Florida. When you arrive, it   s very similar, you go under the train station and you are on Main Street. It looks very similar to the USA parks where there is Town Hall and a Fire Station on the left and the Emporium and some different stores on the right. To me, the castle is identical to that of Disneyland in California. I found the guests do not linger in stores or on Main Street like they do in the USA, the queue for rides was moderate, yet the Main Street area seemed empty. HK Disneyland was missing some of the classic attractions I love from USA parks   Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, People Mover, Mr. Toad, Peter Pan and surprisingly, Pirates of the Caribbean (would have thought with the international success of the movie they   d have this one). The classics that do exist are Hyper Space Mountain (which is FAR superior to either USA version); Small World (same exterior as Disneyland in CA), Railroad, Festival of the Lion King (which is at Animal Kingdom in USA) and Mickey   s Philharmagic. These rides are pretty much the same as in the USA with the exception of Space Mountain, which is a lot smoother and is themed to Star Wars. The Haunted Mansion is repurposed as    Mystic Manor    and was in my opinion, a totally different ride. It was a track style moving ride through a museum using the same type of ride vehicles as Toy Story Mania in USA. It was cute   but definitely not in any way the same as Haunted Mansion. Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine car seems like a cross between Big Thunder Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Expedition Everest (from Disney World). I really liked this ride. Toy Story Land was my favorite part of the park in part because it does not exist in the USA parks. The attention to detail was amazing. It had a small roller coaster for young kids that looked like a slinky dog; a high drop ride based on the parachuting green army men and a few other things. Really well designed. For people worried about a language barrier   there isn   t one. Signage is predominantly in English with Chinese underneath. All cast members spoke English. All the narration I heard was in English too (ie: Mickey   s Philharmagic is entirely in English   there is zero difference in the ride in Hong Kong versus USA). I was sort of surprised how prominent English was (being in Hong Kong afterall   ). The food definitely had more of an Asian flair, which is not to say you couldn   t get a hamburger or hot dog. Each restaurant had a covered cart out front that had a sample of each meal prepared. I liked this option because it gave me a better idea of a food if I wasn   t familiar with the name. I loved the nighttime parade      Paint the Night   , very colorful, lots of lights. The fireworks show was good too. Overall, the park itself can easily be done in a day, not sure the square footage but it seemed about the size of the Magic Kingdom in USA   maybe a little smaller. I definitely felt like the crowd was a bit younger. Didn   t see a lot of families with teenagers. Mostly kids under 10 or so. I was pleasantly surprised with how well behaved the kids were   almost never saw anyone crying or having a temper tantrum. All in all, I enjoyed Hong Kong Disneyland and if you are a Disney fan in Hong Kong and can spare a day   I recommend a visit.
