Vika's B-Day at Disneyland

For Vika's birthday we took the whole family to Disneyland in Hong Kong. This was to be a princess birthday for Vika with the real princesses. The park didn't open until 10:30 but we weren't sure how long it would take us to get there because we had to take a taxi to the border, cross the border, then either take a bus or taxi to Disneyland. You never know how long it will take to cross so we left at 8:00 in the morning. We decided on taking a taxi to the park and it was way faster than we thought. It only took us about an hour and a half to get there, so we had plenty of time to spare.
Once we got in the park it was almost exactly like Disneyland in Anaheim. The layout was the same which made it easy to get around. The park is much smaller though, they don't have nearly as many rides but it felt like we were back in California.

Of course, the signs in Chinese were a give away that we were actually in Hong Kong.
