Hong Kong (part II)

 
For our last day in Hong Kong, we took Eliana to Hong Kong Disney. It's mercifully smaller than the American Disneys and one day was about all we needed. We took the subway out to the Sunny Valley station and then transferred to a tricked out Disney train car for the last leg of the trip.

Rather than Cinderella's castle, Hong Kong Disney features Sleeping Beauty's castle...a not very important distinction unless you take a bunch of pictures of it.

Eliana's got her princess fix.

 

She even got pictures with them as they stood in awkward poses beside her.

We also posed in old-timey cars and in front of cartoon candy cane homes and fairy tale statues.

Shane alternated between sleep and overstimulation.

We went on rides, like the Mad Hatters' Tea Party.

 

Dumbo.

The Orbitron.

 

Eliana went on Space Mountain, her first roller coaster, and didn't seem to like it. Here's the 'after' shot.

 

Carousel.

 

Small World. Shane seemed simultaneously enthralled and disturbed.

 

We played bongos.

Eliana ate cotton candy.

And Shane was transfixed by bubbles.

Finally, we finished the night with some fake snow on Main Street and the fireworks show.
