on the road to sleeping beauty's castle by: Juliana Ibay Disneyland -- the happiest place on Earth that everyone deems it to be. Most of the of people I know have dreamed or have already been to Disneyland. To them, it is where their princess dreams come to life. But what exactly can one do in Disneyland? Aside from the thrilling rides and the overpriced food, Disneyland comes with Sleeping Beauty's (Princess Aurora) castle. A trip to Disneyland is never complete without snapping a photo at Sleeping Beauty's castle.
The castle is located in one of Disneyland Hong Kong's sub-divided lands which is the Fantasyland. This map will help one figure out which path to take in order to get to Fantasyland the fastest. Of course, it is up to the adventurer whether he/she wants to proceed to Fantasyland once they step into Walt Disney's fantastic creation, but once you do, make sure to bring extra clothes as the heat can get to you. And don't forget to bring extra cash because outside food and water is not allowed and will be confiscated by the security guards. Once you are there, enjoy the rollercoaster ride that awaits! 5
Assuming that we were to be in Main Street USA, the first two places we could go to is the Adventureland and Tomorrowland. Main Street USA to Adventureland would take 300M, whilst Main Street USA to Tomorrowland would only take 100M. Right of the bat one can already tell that Tomorrowland is 240M aways from Fantasyland which makes going from Main Street USA -Tomorrowland Fantasyland = 340M. Whereas Main Street USA - Adventureland - Fantasyland = 600M. Now the top choice one would have in order to shorten the walk would be going from Main Street USA - Tomorrowland - Fantasyland. But how many meters would it take for one to go to Fantasyland if one were to choose the longer distance? If one were to pursue the longer distance. He/she would have to go from Main Street USA - Adventureland - Grizzly Gulch Mystic Point - Toy Story Land - Fantasyland = 1,230M. That would also amount to an estimated value of 1.2k just to get to Fantasyland. Given all the data from this journey, one could easily say that the shortest path would have to be Main Street USA - Tomorrowland - Fantasyland which only takes 340M. This magical adventure awaits those who seek for it. Enjoy!

fastest way to
toy story land by Faith Ibay
There are a lot of attractions which can be a bit overwhelming, especially if it's your first time visiting a Disneyland Park. One typical behavior when it comes to Disney guests, is that they go around the park in a uniform way. After walking through Main Street USA, they usually go to Tomorrowland first, then Fantasyland, followed by Toy Story Land, moving on to Mystic Point, they Grizzly Gulch, with Adventureland being the last.
With a majority of the people going the same way, it usually results unbearable long lines On busy days, it's recommended that people should make it a priority to go on the rides they anticipate the most. If Toy Story Land is one of the top areas you're looking forward to the most, here's a guide to make sure you get there as fast as possible before people start crowding that area. Rides such as Slinky Dog Dash are one of the most popular attractions in that area. The waiting time goes as long as 90 minutes, so it really is ideal to go there as early as possible to avoid waiting that long. 7
There are three ways to get to Toy Story Land. The park entrance going to Main Street USA is just one way, so let's make the starting point Main Street USA, where the paths will soon be divided. The first way to go to Toy Story Land is to first walk through Adventureland, then Grizzly Gulch, then Mystic Point, and finally walk from there to Toy Story Land. This path will take 830m in total. The second path to go to Toy Story Land is to simply walk straight to Fantasyland, then you'll make your way to Toy Story Land. In total this will take 750m, which is already a shorter path compared to the first way to go there. The last path is to walk to Tomorrowland, then Fantasyland, and finally make your way through Toy Story Land. In total, this will only take 730m. 8
Of all the paths, the last path is the shortest path to be able to go to Toy Story Land. Following this will take you to your destination the fastest, and give you the benefit of enjoying the rides in this area with little to no lines. On your way there, you can also take the opportunity and stop by Sleeping Beauty's Castle to take a picture while the area isn't as crowded yet. 9
There is a lot to explore in Hong Kong Disneyland. It truly is a magical place where you'll get to make a lot of good memories with your loved ones. As long as you plan your trip well, no doubt will you be able to fully enjoy your day at Disneyland to its fullest extent. Wishing you the best of luck and hope that you have a wonderful trip to the happiest place on earth!
