That would be quite remarkable, considering that it's only been open about 500 days total and for most of them there was no annual pass. And you stay 6 to 8 hours each time and don't get bored? Wow - that's quite something. I would caution anyone relying on your advice that you have got to be in very tiny fraction of percent of guest opinion on the park, and I think it's much more likely than not that others asking for advice here will have a different opinion. <<< You are so right, noisy people, pushy overcrowded streets, polution so bad you can't see the other side of the street. HK has SO much more to offer. >>> And on top of that, you have only bad things to say about Hong Kong the city. <<< Just my two cents worth. >>> And to that you're certainly entitled.

Live in a city of almost 7 million that's this small and see how many nice things you have to say at the end of a long working day. It's 1 am and right now, after a gloomy wet drizzly day, I can't think of one thing. I know I am in the minority with regards to liking HKDL, but the negativity written about here sickens me. The best things in life are the small things, watching the clouds go past, laying in the grass and feeling the breeze...you fill in the rest. HKDL fits into this category for me. It's a great place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.

If you can't enjoy life without being heartstoppingly thrilled every moment, you won't enjoy any disney. If you like to enjoy the simpler things in life, you'll love the park.>> LOL, listen, as SuperDry just said, the fact that you been there 100 TIMES in a park that has been open less than 2 years tells me you are NOT a typical patron. I'm really glad you and your daughter enjoy the park, but my point STANDS! For the AVERAGE Disney fan or just guest, HKDL loses interest much more quickly than the other MKs IMO. IF you can go 100 times out of a year lol, more power to you, go for it, but sorry, I can take the best Disney park on the planet (TDR great example) and will be sick to death of it after my 10th visit in a year, but that's just me . There are waaaay to many other interests and places to see for me and to be frank, a theme park is honestly not the best place to 'relax' in the way to go so often like other places are for me. But I will say I went to DL in L.A. last winter about 10 times in two months, but that was just a fluke, but loved going . <<You are so right, noisy people, pushy overcrowded streets, polution so bad you can't see the other side of the street. HK has SO much more to offer.>> You just described 95% of Asia ;D. I love living here nevertheless (Originally from L.A., so sort of use to it anyway ) Yeah, I didn't say Hong Kong is for EVERYONE, but again, pleasssse, no one should go to Hong Kong JUST for this park. Maybe some people, but its a tiny, tiny margin in my book. You should definitely spend some time in Hong Kong city before if you never been before, agree? But, I admit, that's one great thing about HKDL, its SUPER clean and you never have to worry about it being overcrowded....or just crowded . I know Disney doesn't exactly like it, but it works out for the rest of us .
