It's finally to the best part of our trip :D
The disneyland part, that is!
But, the weather wasn't in our favour.
And I'm sure most of you know the story by now..
Yes, we were affected by Typhoon Nesat.
In the night, when we were still sleeping in our hotel room,
we could hear the howling winds, branches breaking, and bins tossed about.
Both Jx and I couldn't sleep well at all.
When the morning came, we turned on the television.
And was shocked to hear that the typhoon signal had hit scale 8.
Looking out of the window, there were no cars in sight,
and the floors were in a big mess.
We got dressed, and went down to the lobby.
It seems like some of the other occupiers didn't know what is happening.
They looked all ready for a day of fun in HK.
The hotel manager told us it's not safe to check out and to brave the weather.
But we figured that we have a room waiting for us at Disney,
and we didn't want to extend another night in Cosmo..
Hence we decided to just get out when the rain was smaller.
It was one big adventure alright.
Two girls tugging their uber heavy luggage,
took a cab to nearest MTR and from there,
took the MTR to the Disney Resort line.
Our backs nearly died, and I injured my thumb. lol.
The weather was indeed scary
cuz the trees' branches were breaking and tumbling like nobody's business.
The winds were too strong, and with the rain pouring on,
having an umbrella was kind of useless.
But we MADE IT! :D
Here we were, at the Disney Resort line!
Upon reaching Disneyland, we took the shuttle to our hotel.
Checked in our items, but the room wasn't ready yet.
So we chilled around, and even went to the souvenir shop.
The saddest news we heard was that the Disneyland Resort wasn't gg to open :(
There goes our one-day pass and the dining coupon...
Well, the only consolation were the shops in the hotels.
Look at the pretty mugs :))
Decided to lunch at the cafe in Hollywood hotel.
The food is expensiveeeee. lol!
After lunch, we walked to Disney hotel to explore as well.
Disney hotel is much prettier, and more princessy like!
I'd like to stay here the next time I come back :)))
Isn't Duffy bear the cutest thing ever? :))
This was the maze thing that was facing Disney Hotel.
Just look at those trees....
We bumped into Donald!
We got lucky cuz he was going to rest already,
and we jumped upon him just before he left. hehe.
Yays to our hotel too!
Hotel Hollywood! I love this picture :D
Finally, we could check in..
At around 4pm+, we got news that the Disney Park is going to be opened afterall! :DD
We were so freaking exciteddddd! :D
But it will only be open from 6.30pm onwards,
just in time for the Halloween Celebrations! haha!
So cool! We were so happy that we were practically leaping in joy! :D
My first picture after I stepped inside Disney Park.
The thing was that even though Disney Park was open,
most of the rides and attractions weren't open.
Festival of Lion King, Cinderella carousal were some of the attractions I was looking forward to,
but they weren't available :(
oh wells, nevermind!
At least we could walk in the park, instead of sleeping in the hotel room!
Ultimately, we spent our time on watching the parades,
checking out all the souvenir shops and being chased by the zombies. lol!
The winds and rains didn't deter our determination to make the best of our situation.
It was such an adventure, alright. lol!
On a side note, we managed to go on the Winnie the Pooh ride, and the "It's a Small World" ride
Kiddish rides, I know :))
But definitely better than nothing! hahah!
*self consolation
Bought a lot of loots from Disney though :D heh.
