A 'Magical' Time

So what did Kari do today? Hmm..

SHE TOOK HER FIRST TRIP TO DISNEYLAND! =D HONG KONG! WITH ZOEY!

Lol, it's actually my first trip to any Disneyland (unless you want to count that time I went to Disneyland Paris)! It was a very 'Magical' (as the MTR station would say) day! Zoey says it's because we're magical people. Which really can you deny? Zoey is magical in all good aspects and Kari is magically annoying & immature! :3

Highlights! Step by step! ^^

[Pictures & Videos will be available as I force Zoey to locate her USB]

1) WENT IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

Maybe it's only us that have EVER done this. (Because we're magical)? But when we walked into Disneyland (off the MTR) we just followed a huge crowd of people, who we believed were entering the park early. We were WRONG. We followed them into a deep right turn through bushes (which now that I think about it why would they pick such a hard place for their customers to go into and follow?) and thought we were going the correct way. It wasn't until we reached an ID check that we realized we went the wrong way. We thought it was to gain admittance into the park. The man didn't tell us otherwise, as he thought we were tourist and wouldn't understand Chinese (since we kept speaking English) and just mumbled the entire time (I guess not being to confident in his English) and failed to tell us that the path we followed was a way for WORKERS ONLY to get ready for the park to open. So we of course were a little embarrassed at our mistake (but seriously it's a hilaroius first memory to have of Disney) but laughed mostly because of the guy who just kept speaking gibberish. :)

2) NOT REALIZING THE PARK OPENED @ 10

We had bought our tickets, which now we realize should bring a Hong Kong Citizen ID Card [or Student ID like Zoey] to get your ticket cheaper! And we had arrived at about 9 and didn't know the park opened at 10, so yeah, we had lots of time to kill. But on the way the BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT of our day was found! :3

3) STITCH & ANGEL HATS

We did take pics of these hats and us wearing them! (3 Lucky people shall recieve an autographed copy from Zoey & Kari! ;D) Originally we were just waiting around the front of the park looking at shopping carts. And DANG! Everything was so expensive. The Stitch & Angel hats Zoey found were $195 HK ($25 US). I first persuaded Zoey not to get the Angel one she really wanted, as it would be a waste of money that we could spend on food. (Which I kind of regret~). But we both ended up getting the hats. Zoey = Angel. Kari = Stitch. Were there any doubts in the choices? xD They are adorable and looks like they are eating our heads and we're giving them piggy back rides (on our heads)! (Well at least Stitch looks like he's eating my head xD;;)

4) RIDES! RIDES! && MORE RIDES!

In Order Of Best Rides:

1. Space Mountain - Mostly because we rode it 9 times without getting bored. It was the most fun ride out of the entire park as it was the ONLY rollercoaster! But seriously, the parts with going down (skipping a heartbeat) and the posing for pictures was something to look forward to in the ride! We rode in front twice, 2nd row 3 times, 3rd row 3 times, 4th row twice? (Wait..that'd make it 10 times we rode...Oh well, I forget exact numbers -fails at being Asian-) It was super fun even after we memorized the track! xD;; Making other people scream is funny, && I'm super proud of Zoey for getting over her short-lived fear! ;D

2. Buzz Lightyear - Fun shooting game that takes up time and you can get on really quickly! It's fun to check out your score and try and kill Zoey! ;D -shot- There was a moving Buzz Lighyear & Etch-A-Sketch you can see while lining up! (You are not the boss of me)! So this entire ride just plainly isn't boring, but after you know where to shoot, you're going to wish for something new.

3. Winnie The Pooh - This must've been the most adorable ride, in the history of amusement park rides! It tells the story of Pooh (which we really didn't listen too) but the effot people put into building these cute scenes that would pop out and you and make you admire the beauty is just amazing. It's pretty much a one time ride, but I highly recommend it as it is a MUST! (For girls)! Plus there's a cute picture you can take at the end! (As mentioned before 3 of them with our Stitch & Angel hats)!

5) FAST PASS!

Okay, I seriously wish we learned about fast passes earlier. But if we had, we probably wouldn't have killed as much time. (Unless we decided to ride Space Mountain & play Buzz Lightyear some more)! Fast pass is something you can get with your ticket, using machines located outside right next to the ride itself. The fast pass works within the hour of --:45 to --:45 (Ex: 3:45 - 4:45). It's great because you don't have to wait in line as long and reach the ride faster! But the problem is you can only hold one fast pass at a time. We had tried to cheat by getting both Buzz Lightyear & Space Mountain ones (which we didn't think was wrong at the time) but you can't have a fast pass for one ride, and then another. (As that would be unfair to other customers). Truthfully, the wait for rides (or at least Space Mountain) were durable, so we had gotten 2 fast passes to Buzz Lightyear and 1 to Space Mountain!

6) DRINKS

We only drank coke, and then Zoey bought herself a Fanta at Disneyland. OMG! Seriously, we should've snuck in our own drinks, because I swear we lost 10 pounds walking through that park, not eating anything, and barely having anything to drink for 9 whole hours!

7) PICTURES WITH THE CHARACTERS

We only did when we first entered the park to take a picture with Stitch. The line was very short, but the wait took forever, and it was in the burning sun. Not something I'd recommend considering we didn't even end up getting the picture not having enough time and finding it pointless. Though, I wish we got the people in costume's autographs! ;D

Really it was an amazing experience! :3 It was also Zoey's first time at Disneyland too! So even more fun! ^^ We got to experience all the fun of Disney together! x3 I guess we're juts magical (?) that way that we can have fun wherever together! xD (Because the rides at disney are really baby-ish). Love hanging out with this kid! :3 She is super awesome! ^0^ MTR ride was tiring after hanging out at the park all day. But at least Zoey will be able to say today was NOT boring! ;] ♥
