4-day Hongkong Vacation with 2 kids

by Mau
(Philippines)

Hi!

We'll be going to HK for a 4-day vacation on Nov. 16-19. Below is our tentative itinerary. Can someone please help us polish it to save time and make the most of our short vacation? =)

1st day: Arrive in HK airport at 7am. Go to Disneyland hotel to check in. Can we go to Lantau Island (to see Big Buddha probably or pls suggest other places we can go to) and just get back to Disneyland park around 3pm?

2nd day: Disneyland whole day, then go to Novotel Hotel (Nathan Rd.) 7pm. We are planning to just get a cab from Disneyland to Nathan Rd. Around how much is the fare (so that we know if the cab driver is not charging us too much)?
Then Ladies Night Market around 9pm

3rd day: We want to go to Madame Tussauds, Victoria Peak & Avenue of Stars, Stanley Market. Is it possible to visit all these places in 1 day?

4th day: Snoopy's World 10am, then go back to airport at 4pm (our flight is at 7pm).

Any input will be greatly appreciated =)

4 day hong kong vacation with 2 kids

Your hotel in nathan road is quite near to the avenue of the star. Do you want to go the peak in the evening or during the day? Either way, after you visit the peak n madame tussaud (it is in the peak complex), you can go to the star ferry to cross to tsim sha tsui and you can enjoy the victoria harbour while crossing with the ferry (at night it is better with all the lights). Avenue of the stars is near by in tsim sham shui, but you must go at night to enjoy the symphony of lights. Stanley market is so out of the way and there is not much to see there. Check the HK tourist board website.

Hello Mau :)

Here is my suggested itinerary to maximize your stay.

Day 1: Check in at Disneyland Hotel. Spend the whole day at Disneyland Park. Don't miss the "Disney in the stars" fireworks at 8pm.

* Taking a taxi from Disneyland Hotel straight to Novotel Hotel will take about 26 minutes drive at HK$165. Also, consider a charge of HK$5 to HK$10 per piece of luggage placed in the taxi luggage compartment.

Day 2: Check In at Novotel Hotel. Go visit the Ocean Park until late afternoon then the Ladies' Night Market in the evening.

Novotel is located at 348 Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Take MTR trains at Jordan station, Entrance / Exit B2, look for the Tsuen Wan Line trains heading towards Central but you need to get off 2 stations from Jordan which is the Admiralty station. Only 6 minutes train travel, HK$8.1

Once at the Admiralty MTR station, take Exit B. Upon exit, get on the special CityBus No.629 for about 25 minutes, HK$10.6, an express bus travel between Admiralty and Ocean Park.
