Hong Kong Disneyland Tickets And Annual Passes
It’s best to organise your Disneyland tickets in advance. Currently, you can book a week to three months in advance by booking online. All guests are also required to make reservations prior to their visit date, that applies to Valid Park Tickets, Membership Cards and/or Ticket Vouchers/Confirmation holders. Reservation is subject to a quota assigned to each Ticket type/Membership tier and is on a first-come-first-serve basis generally. Reservation will not be accepted once the respective quota pool is full, so make sure to reserve your spot!
Hong Kong Disneyland One-Day Standard Tickets
Adults: Starts at $669
Kids (aged 3 to 11 years): Starts at $499; Kids under three – FREE!
Seniors (aged 65+): Starts at $499
Hong Kong Disneyland Magic Access Passes
If you think your family will be enjoying multiple days out at Disneyland then it might be worth investing in a Magic Access Pass. Choose from Silver, Gold or Platinum passes; the main difference being the blackout dates. Generally speaking, with a Silver pass, the perks don’t apply on weekends, public holidays and for a couple of weeks over Chinese New Year and in the summer. The Gold pass only restricts you over Chinese New Year. There are no blackout dates with the Platinum pass.
There are other benefits too, including dining and retail discounts, free parking (with gold and platinum) and other special offers. Be sure to check the fine print — some dining offers are only available for certain months of the year, with certain outlets excluded.

Food At Hong Kong Disneyland
It will take all your willpower not to indulge in some of the famous Mickey-themed treats. Some of our favourites are the Disney-themed dim sum at Crystal Lotus (in the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel) and Mickey-shaped doughnuts and waffles at the Main Street Bakery, as well as the famous Mango Dole Whip, found at Jessie’s Snack Roundup in Toy Story Land with some piping hot churros – the perfect amusement park snack! You can check out all the Disney dining options right here.
Dietary needs and allergies? No problem. Check this guide out before you go and find out more about how all of your family’s needs can be managed and accommodated before you head off to the Magic Kingdom, including requesting special meals.
Sassy Mama tip: Make use of the Disneyland app to order your favourite treats so that you can skip the long queue!
Can You Bring Your Own Food To Disneyland?
The good news is yes, you can! If you can’t bear the thought of spending unnecessarily, want some healthier options or have some particularly fussy eaters, don’t fret. You’re allowed to bring your own lunch, snacks, fruit and baby food from home. Another good tip would be to bring your own water bottles before heading to Disney as a bottle there can easily go for $24! There are refill stations located around the park (usually near the restrooms).
How To Get To Hong Kong Disneyland
MTR to Hong Kong Disneyland
This is probably the most convenient way for most families to get to Disneyland. Take the Tung Chung line to Sunny Bay and switch to the dedicated Disneyland train — complete with Mickey-shaped windows and various Disney character installations!
Catching the bus to Hong Kong Disneyland
The R8 bus runs from the Lantau Link Toll Plaza (via Inspiration Lake between 9am and 7pm) and costs just $7.
Taxi or Uber to Hong Kong Disneyland
If you prefer to travel on your own schedule, an Uber or Taxi from Central Hong Kong will take about 30 to 40 minutes and cost $250 to $350. Please note though this is highly dependent on traffic and where exactly you are travelling from.
Hong Kong Disneyland Car Park
There is a large, open-air car park right next to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, along with additional parking available at each of the hotels and Inspiration Lake. There’s also a drop-off/pick-up zone if you want to drop the kids (with a responsible adult of course!) closer to the gates. Parking lots at Hong Kong Disneyland are open from 8:30am to two hours after the park closes.
Disneyland’s car park rates: Disneyland Park – $280 per day. Guests staying at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort hotels may park their cars at the hotel or the Hong Kong Disneyland Park private car park at $190 per vehicle per night during the hotel stay period.
Other Disneyland car park rates: Hotels – $50 per hour (free with hotel booking); Inspiration Lake – $55 per hour.

Weather And When To Visit Hong Kong Disneyland
Our favourite time to visit Hong Kong Disneyland would be from October to January. Hong Kong’s winter isn’t too severe and even little ones will be able to handle it with the right amount of layers. Plus, the decorations for Halloween, Christmas and Chinese New Year are stunning and the ambience of Disneyland during the holidays is simply magical!
During the summer months, the heat and humidity can get oppressive. Be sure to pack your sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and water bottles.
Sassy Mama Tip: If you are visiting in summer or over a long weekend, consider treating yourself with a stay at one of the hotels. You can then hit the park as it opens, retire for a siesta and swim in the heat of the day, and return late in the afternoon when crowds have eased.
Visiting Hong Kong Disneyland During A T3 Typhoon
We’ve all been there, the tickets are booked, the bags are packed and that notification comes up on your phone that there is a T3 Typhoon warning. In all likelihood, there might only be a hint of a breeze but unfortunately, it does mean that many of the rides at Hong Kong Disneyland will close.
Only indoor rides will operate while the T3 signal is hoisted. This means no Mad Hatter Teacups, Cinderella Carousel or Dumbo The Flying Elephant in Fantasyland (only Winnie the Pooh and It’s A Small World stay open). But don’t worry—you can explore the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough and step into scenes from classic Disney princess tales! For more adventure, head to Tomorrowland for epic rides that older kids will love, or check out Mystic Manor, which will also stay open. Rain or shine, the magic continues!
Our verdict… if you have an annual pass and don’t mind the limited rides you can still have a fun day out. If this is your only trip to Hong Kong Disneyland or you’ve been saving this special family day as a treat for the kids, try and reschedule so you can get your money’s worth from your ticket. The T3 warning might deter visitors, but the ones who do visit will all be vying for the same few rides so you can still expect queues.

Hong Kong Disneyland Hotels
In true Disney fashion, Disneyland hotels are decked out with all kinds of fun paraphernalia, making it an absolute dream come true for your kids!
There are three hotels on offer: Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, Disney Explorer’s Lodge and Disney’s Hollywood Hotel. Special offers change from time to time, so make sure to check out the website for information on promotions and vacation packages – you can usually find good deals if you plan ahead and keep up with its seasonal and special offers.
The Disneyland Hotel is very traditional with that old-school Victorian grandeur. It’s got a great pool, a playground, an outdoor maze and an indoor kids’ room. There’s often entertainment to get you into the Disney spirit from the moment you step through the door and you can treat your little princesses to a Disney makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Make a booking for that here!
Sassy Mama Tip: The Disneyland Hotel of the hotels to the park (about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the entrance) and a free shuttle is offered. Explorer’s Lodge is a little cheaper than the Disneyland Hotel, but also more modern while the Hollywood Hotel is the most affordable of the three options, but also looking a little tired these days. But here’s the best part — you can use any of the hotel facilities across the properties no matter where you choose to stay!
Remember that all seasonal specials are always accompanied by dining and staycation deals! Plus, be sure to check out rooms that come in various themes. Book a stay at the Frozen suit where guest can immerse in a picturesque winter landscape and the little ones would be greeted with a large Olaf plush toy in the corner!

Family-Friendly Facilities At Hong Kong Disneyland
They always say to travel light, but if you’ve got little ones to take care of, packing light isn’t exactly an option. Luckily, the park offers a variety of family-friendly services for your convenience.
Luggage Valet and Storage Lockers
Travel light at Hong Kong Disneyland with convenient storage options! Use the Luggage Valet near MTR Disneyland Resort Station to store any size luggage for $150 per piece per day. Alternatively, self-store items in Storage Lockers on Main Street, USA, for the same fee, with unlimited access during park hours. Lockers measure 45cm x 35cm x 43cm, and both services are only available during operating hours — so make sure to retrieve your items before the park closes. For assistance, visit Lost and Found at City Hall.
Baby Care Facilities At Hong Kong Disneyland
The Baby Care Center located on Main Street, USA is the spot to feed, change and nurse your tykes. It’s staffed in case you need an extra hand and there are two nursing rooms with chairs (although the park is definitely breastfeeding-friendly everywhere!), a feeding area with high chairs, and a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and sink! There are also six companion restrooms conveniently located all over the park. Click this link for deets on The Baby Care Center.
Strollers & Stroller Rentals At Hong Kong Disneyland
Strollers can sometimes get in the way. Don’t worry, stroller parking is available all over the park and outside every ride (keep your valuables with you though!). However, if you want your kids to run free without a stroller throughout the day, storage lockers are available for rental. You can always rent a stroller for the day ($150 per day plus a refundable $100 deposit). Rental informations here.

Extra Hong Kong Disneyland Tips From Sassy Mama
- If you have enthusiastic kids, plan to arrive at 10am. Not only will you be at the front of the queue, but entry to Main Street, USA will start around 10:20am, so you can get to your chosen “land” by the time the rides start operating. That, or grab a well-needed coffee before the chaos!
- Speaking of timing, if you’ve made the early start you should be able to get on three to four rides by 11:30am and maybe two more by 12:30pm. After 5pm, the lines are normally shorter again.
- If you’re visiting in the summer heat, plan to watch the shows in the afternoon. This will give everyone a chance to rest tired legs and restore a second wind.
- If you have a young child who still naps, take your own stroller. They’re far more likely to relax and have a snooze if it is familiar.
- Plan to leave the park at least 20 to 30 minutes before closing. Though you’ll miss the fireworks show, you’ll beat the transport crowds and save yourself time for the journey home when you’re all sure to be tired.
- If you plan to visit more than three times a year, invest in the Gold Pass. If it is just a one-off visit, be sure to check for the best deals on KKDay. Tap the link for deets!
- Our favourite hack to date! When your little one is napping in the carrier, sit back and relax on the Disneyland Railroad as the train loops around the park. It’s the perfect way to recharge while keeping your LO cosy and undisturbed. Plus, it’s Sassy Mama-approved — they won’t kick you off!
- Have you seen the fireworks countless times? Why not try a fresh perspective by watching them from behind? Arrive near the entrance of Frozen World (or right in front of the Cinderella Carousel) 15 to 20 minutes before the show starts, and you’ll experience the fireworks in an entirely new way!
