Day 5
It smells like smoke everywhere. Either people smoking or a scent to hide the smoke.
Mr Orange car pick is up at 5.10am and off to the
airport. Nice car, good service.
Arrival at Hong Kong, we had booked the Disney shuttle,
significantly less expensive than a car $150HKD for all of us. We go to the
desk, they say it will be ready in half hour at 12.20. Concerning because we
have a 2pm booking at the Crystal Lotus, hopefully check in is smooth, and
crossing fingers our room is ready so we can head to the Disneyland hotel. Long
walk to the shuttle, shuttle smells like smoke. But we have it to ourselves.
Disney Explorers Lodge
Cast members give that same US cast member experience. Beautiful theming. Angela who checked us in gave us some pixie dust when we went back to pick up our room key and had pins made up for each of us with our favourite character and our name on! We explored the grounds, did the stamp game where you collect a stamp from each part of the ‘world’ in the hotel and take it to the front desk and receive a gift, it was a bunch of stickers.

The beds are firm, a tiny bit more firm than I would like,
but still good. The shower is amazing, loved washing my hair under the
beautiful water pressure. Rooms are a good size, complimentary water bottles
every day. We love it. The children say it is their favourite Disney hotel, this is crazy, Aulani has got to be the one!
We were still quite full from dumplings at dinner time so
we grabbed some bits and pieces to go at the charter cafe. It is EXPENSIVE
here. Around $10 for a fruit or veg cup, which we needed. I am feeling that
Disney dollars situation!
Crystal Lotus at the Disneyland hotel
A quick shuttle over, ten minutes on the dot to walk home to the Disney Explorers Lodge, a
decent amount of shade on the walk.
It is best to book this in advance, they give you a character dumpling menu and you pre book the ones you want. On arrival we found that they had fake meat and a couple of veggie dishes to add to the charcter dumpling menu that we had pre ordered.
The service was amazing, the meal both delicious and cute!
