Let me tell you about our Disney trip...last year. :D

Last year the bu and I went on our first out of the country trip together. Yes, it was the first time we left the country together. Why? Because these two lazy people finally decided to get up off their lazy bee-hinds and have their passports renewed. FINALLY.

SO for our first trip we went to Hong Kong. I love Hong Kong. The food, the sights and of course the shopping. :) Who could go wrong with Hong Kong?

Of course our itinerary was packed. We shopped at all the secret bargain places, we ate at hole in the wall restaurants, we went to Madame Tussauds and of course we went to Hong Kong Disneyland.

The happiest place on Earth! :)

Since it was just the two of us, we had to rely on kind strangers to take our photos for us.

With barely 3 hours of sleep, off we go to Disneyland. Everyone keeps saying that HK Disney is so small we'll probably be done in half a day. Challenge accepted. After a day in the park, we get home famished and tired but oh so happy. :)

Of course everyone had a list of things we had to do. My aunt said not to miss the shows, particularly the Lion King one. So as first order of business, the Lion King show it was. :) I would recommend it to other people too. Good show with lots of effects. Here's a photo of us before the show started.

And then of course we had to go on the rides. Most of the rides were kid-centered, I wonder why? but the bu and I were sport enough to try them out. :) Here's a photo of us on one of them. The ride was actually pretty calm. Just your typical booth attached to an arm that goes up and down as well as round and round. No topsy-turvy spins. Just your typical calm, your-five-year-old-can-ride-this-forever, kind of ride.

One of the other highlights of Disneyland of course are the characters who walk among the crowd. How often do you see Princesses all decked out walking around where you live? It was quite funny that they would all greet me with, "oh, is he your Prince Charming?" every time the bu and I would approach them for a photo. Has your copywriter not been able to come up with better lines? Or at least give you options? :P This is a photo of us with Rapunzel, sadly the last Disney Princess.

What is a Disneyland Theme Park without a castle? Because we stayed there the entire day and waited for the fireworks we saw Sleeping Beauty's castle all lit up. :)Isn't it a sight to see?

And finally, the fireworks.

We did it, we stayed a whole day in Disneyland and loved it. :) I know this post is a tad bit too late. If you think a year is late. But I still thought it would be awesome to share. That and I couldn't come up with things to write about Universal Studios just yet.

I heard there's a whole new section they recently opened. I can't wait to go back. :D
