We stayed here for 2 nights and came here straight from HK airport. I would 1000% recommend taking a taxi (official blue or green ones can go) to and from the airport directly to the hotel, firstly it was very quick and efficient at the airport and you’re given a ticket with an approximate cost on so you don’t get ripped off. We were quoted HKD 150 (GBP 15) and it ended up costing us just HKD 20/GBP 2 extra and took about 15 mins. When we left Disney to go back to the airport to get a bus to Fanling in HK we decided to save money and get public transport and this ended up taken us nearly 2 hours (shuttle back to hotel from park to pick up suitcases, shuttle back to park, MTR to Sunny Bay, one stop to Tsing Yi and then airport express to HK airport - all required waiting for the lift because suitcases can’t go on escalators!) and it cost us more for both of us than the taxi ride - so please don’t do what we did and just get a taxi! Pros: - really friendly staff, all spoke great English - hotel really nicely themed, very Grand Floridian vibes - the grounds are really pretty and actually the walk to the park is so quiet and relaxing (less than 10 mins) - frequent shuttle bus, some look like buses and some are coaches - good restaurants in the hotel but none are quick service - nice shop in the hotel which is less crowded than the parks - Tai Chi is a must see - although if you want to take part you had to queue over an hour beforehand. We went to the 6th floor balcony and had a great view of it - room was beautiful! The bathroom was amazing and very spacious and the beds were very comfortable - good amenities in the room and free bottles of water provided each day - great view from the balcony - the sea path to the explorers hotel is also lovely and a nice morning walk if you want to get a quick service breakfast at the explorers hotel - good price for a top Disney hotel (£420 for 2 nights and included free gift which was a luggage tag obtained from the store) Cons: - the characters at the buffet was not as well managed as other character breakfasts in other Disney parks. It felt a bit chaotic and incredibly rushed and a bit clinical. We would be mid eating or coming back to our seat with food in our hands and quick stand there and get your picture and move along. I wouldn’t recommend if you wanted to go to the buffet just to meet the characters however the food and options at the buffet were good! - park tickets are not included in the hotel price. I feel like this should be a given as you probably wouldn’t be staying at the hotel if you weren’t visiting the parks. Having to make an additional ticket purchase and park reservation seemed like another way to make some more money. This is the only park we’ve been to where tickets aren’t included. - no quick service options, this hotel is missing a quick dining and the nearest one is at the explorers hotel which was about 10-15min walk. Luckily the breakfast quick service there was delicious and worth the walk in the sun! - store didn’t open until about 9am which when you are jetlagged and waiting for the park to open at 10am meant you couldn’t take a look around and buy bits - the queue for the tai chi was long, I think this may have been because there were lots of Japanese tourists but actually you could do the tai chi even if you weren’t staying at the hotel and due to limited space it fills up quickly (think there is only room for about 30ish groups per session). Personally I think hotel guests should get priority to these kind of activities as we weren’t willing to stand 90 minutes for it when we wanted breakfast. A lot of the guests we saw waiting for the tai chi were not staying at the hotel and left once they got their photo with the character. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!
