Hong Kong Weather in the Summer

If you plan on visiting during the summer suitable sunscreen for the kids is essential also an umbrella to shade yourself is also handy which can be used to shield the sun or the rain.

Queues for Rides at Hong Kong Disneyland 

The queues for popular rides at the theme park can see you wait about 45 minutes for the rides. There are FASTPASS for some rides which means you can take a ticket and it will tell you at what time you should return for the ride. If you want to cut queues the best way is to hire Disneyland Tour Services.

Hong Kong Disneyland Fireworks at Nights  

The fireworks at night are one of the most anticipated events before the park closes each night. However, the park is very crowded at night so it’s best to find a good spot to get a great view prior to the fireworks starting if not the kids will not be able to see with the crowds across the whole theme park. Also best to keep and eye on the children as with the large crowds it is easy for the kids to wander off and get lost.
