All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Disneyland never grows old. The sayings “Always young at heart” and “Never lose your childlike wonder” is apt in an enchanting place like Disneyland.
It’s true when they say that Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth. It is an escape from the bustling city lifestyle, or that 9-6 job, and all the stress and worries stemming from it. It gives you the chance to feel like a child again. Especially for those who grew up watching Disney movies, it is nostalgic to see the characters come to life before your eyes.
Recently, I had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong Disneyland with Klook travel and I had a magical time with my best friends there. Although I’ve been to Disneyland several times, and in different countries, it is still as enthralling as ever.
Read on for more about my experience going to Disneyland with Klook, as well as dibs on the latest additions to the theme park and a special PROMO CODE for my readers at the end.

We had a lovely stay at Hong Kong Disneyland hotel – the rooms are elegant, comfortable and service is outstanding. Some of the highlights include having breakfast with Disney Characters and dining at Crystal Lotus Restaurant. It was also a bonus that we could head back to our rooms to rest right after a long day at the park.
6. Check out the latest Disney Hotel – Disney Explorers Lodge
The attention-to-detail in the design of Disney Explorer’s Lodge is amazing. The overall ambience is one of warmth, earthy patterns, and dark timbers.

Those who love collecting Disney memorabilia have to check out their Disney store for an incredible selection of merchandise unique to this hotel.
