Caden's First Overseas Holiday Day 4

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Today marks the beginning of our Hong Kong Trip highlight. Disneyland!


We woke up early to pack our luggage as we need to move to Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. So by the time we packed up, bathed and feed our little prince, it was time for us to go. So we did not have a proper breakfast.
Once we are at the hotel, we were overwhelmed by the crowd. Some were sitting around, waiting for a room, some were queuing up to get a room but most people are just standing around. I took care of Caden while dear went to get our room keys. And dear was pretty smart to pay the hotel for early check in. If not we have to wait for another 5 to 6 hours before we can check into our room. Not a good idea if you have a little toddler travelling with you.
The room was absolutely beautiful and Caden loves it too.






Running here and there fidgeting with the cupboards, drawers, bed and sofa. The TV programs even have his favorite cartoons.
After we did some unpacking, we were off to Disneyland. Prior to this trip, Caden has been telling everyone that he is going to Hong Kong to see Mickey Mouse. Today, it is really happening. From the welcome entrance to the fountain and to the main entrance, everywhere is Mickey and his friends. Caden is so busy pointing here and there, telling us MICKEY! MICKEY! We were very happy to see him so excited. Though he might not remember he has come to Disneyland before when he grows up but it is definitely a joyous and exhilarating experience for him now.














As it is the Christmas Season, everywhere in Disneyland, it’s decorated with Snow, ribbons and beautiful Christmas ornaments. Even the Disney Characters were dressed up in nice Christmas costumes to take photo with everyone. Most of the rides here are child-friendly. And we really had a good time with Caden on them. There’s the Winnie the Pooh ride, Buzz LightYear space ride, Small Small World Ride, Mad Hatter Teapot ride and also Dumbo ride. Caden loves them a lot. He keeps saying that he wants to sit on Merry Go Round. But Disneyland is so big; we were only able to let him sit once for each ride. We spent quite a while at Disneyland before we headed back to the hotel again in the afternoon for Caden to nap.



















In the evening, we decided to go back to Disneyland again. This time, we are going because of the Fireworks. By the time we reached the Castle, there were a lot of people crowding around. So we were only able to stand and admire the fireworks. It was beautiful. Especially when we were looking through these special glasses that were given to us at the entrance, it makes the fireworks transform into small little hearts. But our little prince was a bit terrified of the loud exploding sound made. He keeps saying scared scared, but still want to look at it. After the fireworks, we headed back to hotel and packet dinner back to eat. And after that, we had an early rest.
