School’s out and you know what that means? A proper family holiday! It’s time to load up on tickets and don your Disney merch for a long overdue visit to Hong Kong Disneyland. Enjoy exciting theme parks, magical theater shows, and iconic attractions. What’s more, you and your family can finally enjoy a Disney-filled weekend by staying at a Disney resort!

After a year of lockdown measures and travel restrictions, you deserve more than a day trip to the ‘happiest place on earth’. Good thing Hong Kong Disneyland Resort has three accommodation options for all kinds of visitors: Disney Explorers Lodge, Hollywood Hotel, and Hong Kong Disneyland.

The exploration continues at Disney Explorer’s Lodge, a 4-star accommodation perfect for curious minds. Discover the tropical havens of Asia, Oceania, South America, and Africa in its 750 guest rooms filled with lost artifacts and unique specimens. The tropical feel extends to the hotel’s four themed gardens: the African Savannah Garden, the South American Garden, the Oceania Garden, and the Asian Garden. 

Characters from The Jungle Book, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Up fill the recreational areas, inspiring excitement, and adventure in every corner of the place. Join these beloved icons for some poolside fun at the Rain Drop Pool, where cast members host activities and games fit for all ages. 

With the amount of fun you’re sure to have at Disney Explorer’s Lodge, it’s important that the family is fuelled with good food. Don’t stress! Head on over to the second floor to see what’s cooking. If you like hearty, homemade provincial cooking, then Dragon Wind’s authentic Cantonese cuisine is the restaurant for you. But if you’re an adventurous eater who likes to try anything new, then the World of Color’s diverse set of cuisines and flavors is a must-try. Then again, there’s Chart Room Cafe, the resident fast food eatery serving up Western breakfast food and made-to-order pasta dishes.

Step into the limelight and experience glitz and glamour like no other at the Hollywood Hotel! Inspired by the golden age of cinema, this art deco wonder’s 4-star service makes it unforgettable. With over 600 accommodations, you can choose a guest room with a garden view, sea view, or park view that overlooks Hong Kong Disneyland Park! And since connecting rooms are available, it’s time to treat the entire clan to a Disney holiday.

Get your cameras rollin’ because Hollywood Hotel’s garden area is filled with vintage classics. From classic cars from the 1930s in roads akin to California to the famous ‘El Capitan’ theater sign and ‘Hollywood Hotel’ banner, you won’t run out of attractions to take family pictures with. Keep your kids on their toes by pointing out Hidden Mickeys scattered throughout the property.
