The grand opening of Hong Kong Disneyland was today (actually...yesterday, because of the time difference).
Well, ever since I heard that Hong Kong was gonna have a Disneyland, I was so excited. You see, I go back to Hong Kong around twice a year, once during Christmas and once in the summer. I think it was around 1996 that they announced it, and being the happy 6 year old that I was, I couldn't wait. And it's here, now! Although it hasn't exactly been the recipient of rave reviews, I believe that things will improve over time. To think that the opening of a new theme park would go perfectly isn't reasonable. Lalalallaa. What are your thoughts? Quote from www.bigwhiteguy.com: QUOTE Disney Dissatisfaction
Newspapers are having a field day pointing out the problems at Hong Kong Disneyland after it held two dress rehearsals in the run-up to opening. Articles are filled with negative comments, such as: “Disneyland does not have that many exciting rides. I hope they will cut down the maximum capacity for visitors.” “The entertainment is just suitable for kids.” “The staff are rude and lack smiles, and the customer service is unprofessional. Disney says it always brings happiness to its guests, but how can its staff tell my child, ‘you are not allowed to eat candy here’? Disney said its staff here are well-trained, so I don’t understand why they are so rude.” “The waiting time is long - and I wonder what will happen if there are more people.” “It is even worse than queueing for rice handouts during the Hungry Ghost Festival.” “This kind of thing will only happen in Hong Kong. It’s the impatient and rude attitudes of Hong Kong and mainland people which steal Disneyland’s relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.” Too many people and rudeness? That sounds like a typical Saturday afternoon in Mong Kok or Causeway Bay. But the reporting is unbalanced; where are the quotes from people who enjoyed themselves and had no problems? The truth is somewhere in between. Regardless, as with all new theme parks, Disneyland will have plenty of bugs to fix in the months to come — count on it. Expecting everything to be flawless is unreasonable. ·Daily BWG· © 1998-2005 Randall van der Woning |

Oh yeah. I heard about the Hong Kong Disney Land too. But too bad, I can't
afford to go. |
