Visiting Disneyland is a bucket list item for many of us, whether you grew up watching Disney movies or you simply want to experience the magic of the happiest place on earth. And if you’re Filipino, Hong Kong Disneyland is where you’ll probably see fairy tales come to life for the first time. Located on Lantau Island, Hong Kong Disneyland is roughly a two-and-a-half-hour flight away from Manila.
If you’re planning a visit to this magical theme park, this guide is for you! Whether it’s your first time or you’re coming back after a few years, this post will help you plan your trip and make the most of your visit to Hong Kong Disneyland. We’ll take you through everything you need to know, including ticket prices, must-see attractions, food options, and some tips for your most magical Disneyland experience!
Best Time to Visit Hong Kong Disneyland
Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, so it can get really hot and humid. If you want to visit during the cooler months, the best time would be between November to April when the temperature ranges from around 10 to 20°C. Meanwhile, May to October are the hottest months with temperatures reaching up to 30°C. However, it’s important to note that these months also experience more rainfall, so if your trip will be within these months, make sure to pack not only sun protection, but rain gear as well.
Weekends are generally busier in the park, so if you can, plan your visit on a weekday to possibly avoid large crowds. Also, remember that the park will likely be crowded as well during holidays like Christmas and Chinese New Year.
Where to Get Tickets
There are different types of park tickets, but for tourists or short-term visitors, the best options are the 1-day or 2-day tickets.
Hong Kong Disneyland Ticket Rates
- 1-Day Ticket: General Admission, HK$ 849; Child (3-11 y/o) and Senior, HK$ 639
- 2-Day Ticket: General Admission, HK$ 859 to HK$ 1039; Child (3-11 y/o) and Senior, HK$ 669 to HK$ 805
Note: If you purchase a 2-day ticket, your park visits must be two consecutive days.
Hong Kong Disneyland Add-Ons
Aside from the admission tickets, you can also purchase add-ons like the early park entry pass or Disney Premier Access.
- Early Park Entry Pass: HK$ 199
- Disney Premier Access: HK$ 199 to HK$ 749
Early Park Entry Pass
The Early Park Entry Pass allows you to enter Hong Kong Disneyland up to one hour prior to the official opening time, giving you an opportunity to experience the popular areas, such as the World of Frozen and Fantasyland, before the general crowd rushes in.
During this time, you can enjoy the following attractions:
- Cinderella Carousel
- Dumbo the Flying Elephant
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- Frozen Ever After
- Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs
Disney Premier Access
Meanwhile, Disney Premier Access serves as a fast pass that will give you one-time priority entry or allow you to skip the lines at select attractions and/or give you access to designated viewing areas for select shows, depending on the package you avail. If you want to secure a perfect viewing spot for the “Momentous: Party in the Night Sky”, you can purchase a package that covers this show/experience.
Walk-in vs Online Purchase
You can purchase your tickets at the Hong Kong Disneyland Park’s Main Entrance Ticket Booths and Guest Relations, but it is highly recommended and more convenient to get your tickets in advance online. Guests are also required to make a reservation for their park visit after purchasing tickets. We’ll discuss how to make a reservation in the next section of this article.

How to Make a Park Visit Reservation
Once you’ve purchased a ticket, you need to make a reservation for your visit date on Disneyland Hong Kong’s official website. This is a requirement for all guests. However, if you book through third-party merchants like Klook or KKDay, park visit reservations might already be included in the package. So make sure to read the package details carefully when you book a ticket to find out whether or not you need to make a reservation on Disneyland’s website.
You can make a reservation as early as 90 days prior to your intended date of visit. This is Hong Kong Disneyland’s measure to manage the number of people entering the park on any given day. Once their quota is full, reservations will be closed. Those who don’t have a prior reservation may be refused entry into the park once the full capacity is reached.
Here’s how you can make a reservation:
- Visit Disneyland’s reservation website. Click “Next” to start your registration.
- Create a MyDisney HK account by clicking the “Create Account” button. Then, enter the following details: Last Name, First Name, Birthday, Place of Residence, Mobile Number, Email Address, and Password. Once you’re done, agree to the terms of use and click “Create Account”.
- Once you’re account is set up, go back to the park reservation page. Click “Reserve”.
- On the Ticket Registration page, click “Register Now”. Select the admission type and enter your ticket reference number.
- Choose your preferred date. Finally, confirm your reservation.

Schedules of shows and parades are also available. You can even purchase a Disney Premiere Access Pass for attractions on the app if you decide last minute.
- Avail Early Park Entry Pass or Disney Premiere Access Pass. If you think you won’t have enough time to explore Disneyland with a regular ticket during regular park hours, you can avail of these add-ons to maximize your time.
- Bring a reusable water bottle. As mentioned earlier, food and beverages at the park are on the pricey side. A bottled water or soda, for example, is usually HK$ 30. To save money, bring a reusable water bottle and refill it at the drinking fountains across the park.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing. Let this be your warning: you’ll do A LOT of walking. Keep your feet from hurting and avoid blisters by wearing your most comfortable shoes. If you’re visiting during summer, wear light clothing and don’t forget to use sun protection too! And if your visit is during the rainy season, make sure to bring a rain jacket with you.
