Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland

In the early 1950s, Walt Disney dreamed of creating a place where children and grown-ups of all ages could have fun together. The result was the world’s first theme park, a magical kingdom of fantasy, imagination and adventure called Disneyland, which opened in 1955 in Anaheim, California, U.S.A. Now, this world of Disney fun and family entertainment is coming to Hong Kong.

Opening in 2005/2006 at Penny’s Bay on Lantau Island, Hong Kong Disneyland will feature classic Disney attractions, unique shops and restaurants, themed resort hotels, dazzling live entertainment and all the magic and imagination people have come to expect from Disney parks around the world. At Hong Kong Disneyland, you’ll leave the world of today and enter magical worlds of imagination and adventure in which enchanting stories and timeless places literally come to life right before your eyes. Here, fantasy becomes real and reality becomes fantastic. You’ll discover medieval castles and futuristic mountains, encounter jungle elephants and elephants that fly, hear snakes that hiss and bears that talk, and ride both old-time fire engines and space-age rockets. And, of course, you’ll be able to meet all your favorite Disney characters: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Cinderella, Aladdin, Buzz Lightyear, Mulan and many others. Hong Kong Disneyland is modeled after the original Disneyland in California. It will also feature some of the best design elements from other Disney parks around the world, including the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, U.S.A., Tokyo Disneyland in Japan and Disneyland Paris in France. The result is a familiar yet entirely fresh Disney experience. Hong Kong Disneyland is divided into four lands, each transporting you to another place and time. You can then continue your magical journey at two uniquely themed resort hotels.

Closest Airports and Ground Transportation Choices in Disneyland California

Disneyland

When traveling to the Disneyland Resort in California by airplane, there are several airports which are close to the theme parks. Four of these airports are within an hour’s drive (depending on traffic) from Anaheim. All of these four airports are also within 40 miles or so from the resort. Here is a list of the airports with their approximate distance as well as expected driving times (depending on traffic) to the theme parks. (I have listed them from nearest to farthest).

• John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA) – 13 miles, approximately 20 minutes depending on traffic.
• Long Beach Airport (LGB) – 18 miles, approximately 30 minutes depending on traffic.
• Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) – 35 miles, approximately 50 minutes depending on traffic.
• Ontario International Airport (ONT) – 36 miles, approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic.

The advantages to flying into the three smaller airports (LAX is the largest) are: they are closer to Disneyland, it may be faster to rent a car there and the airfare may be comparable in price. It is certainly worth checking and comparing prices for airfare before booking your flight.
