Hong Kong Disneyland is located on the eastern edge of Lantau Island, conveniently located about eight miles from Hong Kong International Airport. Download the Uber or Octopus app prior to arrival and use that to book a taxi or UberX to the resort for the most convenient access. From elsewhere in the city, take the MTR to Sunny Bay station and transfer to the Disneyland Resort line.
Hong Kong Disneyland will feel like a throwback to Walt Disney World visitors. Paper tickets. No need for advance dining reservations. There is a paid "Lightning Lane"-style line-skipping system called Priority Access, but it's not often used and not really needed to enjoy the park's attractions. Note that if you buy an undated ticket to the park, you will need to make a park reservation to use it.
Disney's on-site hotel guests get 15 minutes of early access to the park. Note that Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, and Toy Story Land open 30 minutes after the rest of the park.
The characters meets typically are, by far, the longest waits in the park. Hong Kong Disneyland can, at times, seem more like the set of endless influencer photo shoots than a theme park, with all the people in cosplay posing for each other. If that's not your scene, you will get to enjoy relatively short wait times for the actual rides in Hong Kong Disneyland.
That said, an upcharge early entry pass can be helpful in getting you early access to World of Frozen. Discount tickets are available, including ones with the Early Park Entry option.
Otherwise, use your first moments in the park to buy a freshly-made Mickey waffle on Main Street, then head over to Big Grizzly Mountain, followed by Mystic Manor. Unless you have little kids who must do Toy Story, skip that and head next to World of Frozen.
Use the Hong Kong Disneyland app to find showtimes for the Festival of The Lion King show, as well as Mickey and the Wondrous Book, if you are interested in that Disney Cruise Line-style "Disney's greatest hits" production. And we also recommend - as always, where it is offered - a trip to Animation Academy to draw your own Disney character. Here, you'll find it often is Duffy, whose character friends dominate almost every retail location in the park.
Pick up the rest of the park's attractions at your convenience, but plan to claim a space on the hub 30-60 minutes early for Momentous, which is an excellent nighttime spectacular.
