Hong Kong: Disney’s Hollywood Hotel

As much as possible we always travel on a shoestring but there are times we splurge on travel just like our stay in Disney’s Hollywood Hotel. It was not an easy decision and it took me several weeks before reserving a room. 

I have to think hundred times because the rate of the room is not cheap and once I reserve the room it will be automatically charged to my credit card (full amount). It is non-transferable and non-refundable so I have to think carefully.

From Thomas and Friends to Cars and now my son adores Mickey Mouse so much; I love my son so I decided to book the cheapest room in Disney’s Hollywood Hotel last August. I used to like Mickey Mouse too during my college days so I will just charge it to experience.

Fast forward to our trip, we transferred to Disney’s Hollywood Hotel after our two nights' stay in Yiu Fai Guesthouse. You have three options in going to Disney’s Hollywood Hotel from TST or Tsim Sha Tsui.

1. Disney’s Hollywood Hotel offers various limousine services from Tsim Sha Tsui to the hotel.

4-seats Mercedes Benz HK$700 (4 guests & 3 suitcases)

6-seats Toyota Alphard (MPV) HK$600 (4 guests with luggage)

2. Travel by TAXI. The cost of a Taxi would be around HK$180 per car (maximum for 4 passengers).

3. And of course the most economical way to travel is by MTR which we did.

From TST take the MTR (Tsuen Wan Line) to Lai King

From Lai King change to Tung Chung line on the opposite side

Get off at Sunny Bay and change to Disneyland Line on the opposite side

Upon reaching the Hongkong Disneyland Resort we immediately look for the shuttles going to the hotel so we could check in first but since the check-in time is 3PM, we just left our baggage.

I bought 2 day pass ticket and went straight to Disneyland. We went back after the fireworks; my camera’s battery was already empty so I just used my phone to take room photos. As you can see, my son is already sleeping; he slept on our way back to the hotel.

The following day, we woke up early to explore the hotel before eating our breakfast. We maximized our stay in our room and we left only during check-out time which is 11AM. We left our luggage and went to Disneyland again.

Likes

Dislikes

2. No free wi-fi. You have to pay HKD120 for 24 hours of use.
3. No discount for Disneyland tickets even for hotel guests.
