Disneyland has a very good business model. They have very good service. But they know how to squeeze every cent off visitors. I spent my whole time there on a hot June weekday and found some ways to save money and enjoy more on weekdays. Here are some reflections as I felt cheated by the business model after my trip:1. The park tends to very crowded in the late morning and early afternoon. This is because most tour groups arrive in the morning and families and youths on holiday tend to go there during these hours. It is hence hardly surprisingly that all the exciting rides or plays take around 20 to 30 minutes waiting time. It is very frustrating when the weather is hot and you will waste a lot of time waiting.2. But I notice something after 4pm. From 4pm, I notice the wait times for the exciting rides were reduced to 5 to 10 minutes for most stations. This is because most of tour groups and students have left. You get a chance to enjoy the stations. More importantly, you avoid the queue and the weather is better around that time. 3. At around 5pm, I notice new entertainment appears. They are people singing on the streets and some new disney characters will suddenly in the evening. Moreover, there is a fireworks display at 7.30pm. I think they are trying to encourage people to spend more and stay in their hotel. Hence, they provide a different set of entertainment to attract this customers to book their overpriced hotels. 4. Another reason why Disneyland has a good business model is the over priced food. A single scoop of ice cream can cost HK $50. Their concept diners and self run fast food chains serve bland burgers at exuberant prices. The taste is not unique from food you can buy in other areas in Hong Kong. Moreover, the queue is very long and frustrating under the hot June weather. As a result, perhaps it is better to go after your lunch. You can avoid the queue and save money on food.5. I made a terrible mistake to buy the tickets online before I go Disneyland. I notice the ticket prices are cheaper when you buy at the Disneyland counter. 6. There are many souvenir shops to attract you to buy more. Some of the shops sell items not found in other souvenir shops. My advice is do window shopping first at the 2 main shops near the entrance. You take note of the prices of things you are interested in and don't buy first. Reason is because you have to walk pass those shops again before you leave. So you can buy later. Moreover, it prevents impulse buying because you may find nicer souvenirs at other souvenir shops in Disney theme park. Please bring your own plastic bag as plastic bags in shops are chargeable.7. There are many areas you can take photos with your favourite characters. But each photo is around HK $200. There is an unlimited package at HK$298 that is recommended and worth it. You can go for that as you can print unlimited photos. Through my learning experiences, my recommendation is to go around 2pm after a heavy lunch. You buy the tickets from the ticket counter at Disneyland. After you reach around 2pm, you avoid stations that are popular among youths. You visit performances like Mickey Mouse Awards as there are air con and can hold more people. At around 4pm after you watch the performances, buy sourvenirs and take photos with your disney characters, you will then visit all the exciting rides. This will allow you to save a lot of time on waiting as wait time will be cut around 5 to 10 minutes for most rides. You should complete all the rides by 7.20pm and appreciate the evening activities propping up. After that you can proceed for the 7.30pm parade and fireworks. That will end your day and just in time for dinner outside Disneyland. This programme will help you to save money and time. It will also beat the well crafted Disneyland business model.
