Hey ya'llDo you know, since I was a child I always had this amazing dream!!! I always wanted to go to Disneyland, I mean if you think about it, Disneyland is a pretty amazing place for any child; a land where all their favourite TV characters are real!!! A place where, for a moment magic and mystery seem as possibly as ABCs and Mathematics!!!! And you know, I guess for most of us its just another theme park, but I guess for all this while I have still managed to retain that wonder Iused to have when I dreamed about going to Disneyland some day because although personally I'm not a fan of theme parks, my trip to Hong Kong Disneyland really brought me back to a time when monsters lived under my bed, a time when I used to threaten my sister with made-believe goblins, when I'd say "You had better behave, or Impety will fly in the window and pluck your eyes out!!" and she would believe me.
But most of all, it made me believe, it gave me hope because, after 15 years of waiting, my dreams finally did come true.
We went to Macau and Hong Kong sometime last year, in November - December. This is us in front of Hong Kong Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle. I remember shouting and jumping with joy. It was nothing big for my sister because she'd already went to Tokyo Disneyland but for me, it was magical.
The thing I remembered most and found most ammusing about the whole experience, was how once I stepped into the gates of Sleeping Beauty's castle, I became a prince!!! That's right, it seemed everywhere I went, princesses were coming up to me to play with my clothes!!! Sleeping Beauty took my scarf away and wouldn't give it back !!! :(
On the other hand, some of the princesses were more polite. Belle kept insisting that I pick my "special princess" from among them. I politely declined by saying I already had a special person. Hahahah sorry princesses, this prince is taken!
But what is a Disney Moment without a little adventure? We took the river cruise to go see where Tarzan lived in his treehouse. This is me with our captain, Ardie, who tried her best to explain everything to us in English. Good job for conducting a tour in a language that's not your first!!!!!
The cruise was fun, but Qing, that's her in the picture, was quite nervous because those elephants kept spraying water towards the boat - even when Ardie assured her it would be alright!
So the river cruise was fun! We encountered man-eating spiders, a snake-temple and cannibals along the way, but we finally made it to Tarzan's tree-house! Its an interactive tree-house so that meant we could do some exploring.
Ran into a little leapord trouble along the way, but I sure showed him!!! Rawwwr!!!!
But at 2pm we had to make our way back to civillization to catch the Disney's Snow parade featuring some of Disney's greatest stars!!! Well...not her, she's just one of the dancers from the show.
But of course not all the dancers were ladies, Disney provided some manly toy-soldier dancers with their Toy Story float to impress the ladies as well :)
And last, but not least, the procession of the Disney Stars!!! This is Ariel on her Under-The-Sea float!!!

If I had to choose, she would be my special princess. Sorry Prince Eric ;P
Snow White also made an appearance, along with Cinderella, Aurora and Belle. They sang to the sparrows and other birds that seemed to flock around their float.
When the parade was over, we decided to explore around the main-street of Disneyland. Qing was very taken with this signboard!!! I think she plans to set up shop here as well. Good luck!

Since I was a prince today and my sis a princess, we thought of giving it a go as well. Brother sister ballroom team yeah! XD
Outside we were greeted by Merlin!!!! He seemed to be looking for a boy to pull the sword out from the stone. Too bad it wasn't me eh? XD
We also managed to meet with some of the elves from the parade!!! They gave us cookies which were quite tasty to eat.
The rest of the day was spent watching the shows. The Golden Mickeys and Simba's Lion King show were especially memorable. Winnie the Pooh came to greet us shortly afterwards and then wouldn't leave us alone. I think he's found himself a new hunny in my sis XD

As we were about to leave for the day, both Pluto and Goofy came to wave us goodbye. I never understood how they could both be dogs when one can talk and the other can't. But this wasn't the end, we did not manage to do everything so we decided to come back for a second time the following day for the ride and the night-time fireworks. After all, we were staying at the Disneyland Resort, just a few minutes down the road and had free 2-day passes.
And so ended my Disneyland dreams, a magical day I shall never forget!
PEACE OUT
