Trip Report HKDL Trip report (LOADS of pics)- 10/10/09

[HKDLFAN]

So since there hasn't been a proper trip report for this park in ages, I took advantage of my weekly visits to HKDL and dedicated yesterday to taking pics of the resort and the park. And since there are so many pics, I'll post them in order of land e.g first main st., then Fantasyland etc... However, excuse the quality of the photos; i used my iphone 3gs to take pictures.

EDIT: Unfortunately, photobucket has this insane policy of over-posting pics on websites so I can't post any pics directly here. But, good news is you'll can view my photos through my Photobucket page (It's a bit more convenient because you can just skip all the pics you don't want to see). Here is the link:

Sorry for any inconveniences, Enjoy!

Great Pics so far. I love the openness of Main Street. They sure do use Jack and Sally a lot there. The entrance floral Mickey looks a little awkward though.

Great TR! I love viewing pictures of other Disney parks that hopefully we'll get to see someday. This proves how beautiful a park HKDL is, and hopefully the expansion will help the roster of attractions as well.

Regarding the floral Mickey by the entrance, I have to disagree, I think its huge and gorgeous. I love the cute addition of the pumpkins, something only Disney could do. HKDL's floral Mickey is a lot more grander and intricate than the other DL parks.

Thanks for the luscious photos, HKDLfan! Makes me want to return there soon! x

That's an interesting parade. Use's a lot of mediums. I loved the Pumpkin Jack centerpiece that is so awesome. But I feel Jack is so over used on Main Street. Where's the pumpkins.

Thanks for the comments. appreciate it. The park is only busy (but never as busy as any of the other Disney parks, nowhere near) on Halloween and Summer. It's 'more packed' on Saturdays than other days normally but the special events (especially Halloween) attract a lot of guests.

Great TR, adding some life to the HKDL forum. Next best thing to being there. Please though - fewer pics per post would help with browsing. Thanks much!
