1	alisserae Thu 3/20/2008 9:57a	I am flying to Hong Kong for a quick visit (4 days/3 nights) since my husband is working out there for a couple months. Since we'll be at the HKDL Hotel, i'll make time for HKDL. The question is, how much time? Is it a half day or full day experience? I'm planning my itinerary, and just want to know how much time I should alot. Thank you!

If you are then you will need a full day to see The Golden Mickeys, Lion King, Stitch Encounter, parade etc. Also try and take lunch at the Plaza Inn - it is a beautiful restaurant and the Cantonese cuisine is delicious. If you have concierge try and see the fireworks from the lounge balcony - it is one of the greatest spots in any Disney location. Please promise me you will eat at the Crystal Lotus in the HKDL Hotel. The food is exceptional and the decor wonderful especially some neat WDI R&D tricks that are in the entrance, bar an dining room.

This was before Stitch and Autopia, so there is more to do now, but I would be surprised if you could not fit everything in during an entire day.

8	Mr X Fri 3/28/2008 9:40p	A day is more than enough. I wouldn't try to squeeze it into a half-day though, even though it IS doable. Take your time, relax, and see everything. Plus since your staying there you can always go back to the hotel for a swim or a rest mid-day if you wish. Have fun! :)

10	Mr X Sat 3/29/2008 6:45a	Dave, which attractions would you repeat? Space Mountain, Buzz, and Jungle Cruise, sure. Philharmagic is repeatable (actually that's the only attraction I DID repeat), but you've already experienced that at WDW right? After that, what? Pooh? Ride the cars more than once? Spin around on Dumbo or Astro-jets a few more times? I think you would be bored spending two days there. A day and a half I think would be max...I was bored after four hours frankly (and I'm the kind of guy that could spend DAYS AND DAYS just hanging around Epcot or DisneySea...but not HKDL!). The only live entertainment we caught was the extremely sub-par Jammitors group, which rather than being a bunch of Americans with drum corps experience as in all of the other parks, was a bunch of Chinese guys who frankly didn't know how to drum. FWIW. They were mildly entertaining and enthusiastic, I'll give them that...as and WorldDisney can attest they had trouble performing a good show with so many rude guests (kids and adults alike!) walking right up to them and ruining things (a very unique Hong Kong phenomenon, I think). But I think they missed the memo when it came to Disney trash can drummers actually being GOOD DRUMMERS as a part of the appeal. Those guys just sucked. Didn't catch anything else except for the Hong Kong Disneyland Band which was god awful (but, in fairness, the Tokyo Disneyland Band is also god awful).
