Hong Kong Disneyland August 2016 - Part I

I am finally starting to post pictures from my Disney Asia trip.
Now this visit took place at the end of August of 2016.

The first stop was at Hong Kong Disneyland.
I didn't take a whole lot of pictures at Hong Kong Disneyland this time because I was just here a year ago.  There are a few differences from last year's visit and this year's, but for the most part, it's still the same.

This will be Part I of II

My friend and I stayed at Disney's Hollywood Hotel, which is like the Ambassador Hotel at the Tokyo Disney Resort

Between Disney's Hollywood Hotel and the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, a new hotel is being constructed ... Disney's Explorers Lodge

Made it to Hong Kong Disneyland

The Park opened at .. 10:30 am that day I believe

At 10, they opened the gates and we entered.

Once the Park opens, it's a mad dash to Space Mountain

Hong Kong Disneyland is also doing a Star Wars overlay in Tomorrowland.
Just like at Disneyland (California), they too have HyperSpace Mountain

Not sure if Autopia is closed for good or just temporary while the Iron Man Experience is being built.
The roadway of tomorrow goes right above the Trials of the Temple stage.

The Fairy Tale Forest was being built last year while we visited, so this attraction is new to us.
Walking through, it's like Storybook Land. Just without the canal and boats
But, with updated scenes

Small World's facade was being refurbished.
But the tarp was just blank. No graphics on it like you might find at any of the other Disney Parks when they refurbish a facade

As night falls, we ..well, more like my friend decided to catch Paint The Night. I was more than fine skipping it as it is not a favorite parade of mine, either here in Hong Kong Disneyland or at Disneyland (California)

Like when it debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland, last year it did a parade stop. And you could use the light up paint brushes to "paint" the floats.
This time though, the parade just kept rolling by.

Well, that will conclude Part I of my August Visit to Hong Kong Disneyland.
Stay tuned for Part II

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.

Until Next Time...
