  • I don't really have a potty obsession, but I do happen to have a favorite bathroom at Hong Kong Disneyland. As you walk down Main Street if you take a right turn just past the Corner Cafe there is a secret entrance to Tomorrowland via the lavatory for the Starliner Diner. Not only does this water closet magically transport you from Main Street to Tomorrowland, but it has possibly the coolest restroom signs anywhere. Check it out and it might be your favorite loo too!

  • When Hong Kong Disneyland opened in 2005 it was by far the smallest Disney park. Opening with just 22 attractions compared with 44 in Paris, 45 in Florida and Tokyo, and 65 in California, the first impression of the park was underwhelming. Since then they've added a number of new rides and the park is slowly catching up in size with the other parks. In 2011 they opened Toy Story Land.

  • Whoever decided to put Hong Kong Disneyland and the new Hong Kong International Airport on the same island is brilliant. The result of this little nugget of transportation planning means that making the trip from downtown Hong Kong to the House of the Mouse could hardly be easier. The trip to Lantau Island takes a little over 30 minutes, which is about the same amount of time it would take to drive or take a cab and costs $24.50 hkd for adults and $12.50 hdk for concession (rates even lower if you use an Octopus card).

  • The original Disneyland Submarine Voyage ride opened in 1958 and ran for 40 years before being shut down in 1998. After 9 long years of sitting empty, it was finally reopened in 2007. In April of 2006 I was lucky enough to catch these shots of the Submarine renovation.I've always enjoyed taking pictures of construction when at the parks. Sometimes you have to hold your camera above fencing to take these kinds of shots, but in this case I was able to get a nice view of the submarine lagoon while wating for a ride at the Disneyland Monorail station in Tomorrowland.
