Shanghai Disneyland Vs. Hongkong Disneyland

When you write something and you really into it and that's became your dream on your sleep ~ how you felt about that? I really have a dream about this but not meet with my expectations. Hahaha. I re-watch and saw my last trip video and photos on my laptop and compare both of them. I made it because I just want to share what my opinion is and my friend also asking me which one is better but I couldn't decide that because every place has their own speciality.

First Question is Which one do you prefer, attractions or performance? THIS answer will be your answer too. Hahah. Because HKG provide more children like theme park and more performance then SHA. But, the attractions at SHA is really cool. That might be not as cool as Universal Studio but the attractions is more adult like than the HKG ones.

So, I really can't decide which one is better because I love both of them, if I can find the place that combined that will be really fun with shorter queues time. So, I'll comparing both if them from my point of view. It's might be different to everyone. I came to HKG last year (May 2017) and I went to SHA several months ago (Feb 2018). My friend who also came twice to HKG she told me there is not too much change, but yes there is an additional things and maybe they renovated the building.

So, here we go to compare and let your heart decide which one is better ~

1. Food
For the main course, I think both of them offer the same thing and the price also quite the same if we use the conversion. But, the box is really cute. But who will take the box after they use that for eat.

When I was in HKG, I ate a cute waffles and buy a cute candy. But, I can't find that in SHA. My friend told me that he bought a bread, but I didn't come to that store so, I don't know what kind of food that they provide there.

2. Official Stuff
Official Disney Merchandise is really easy to find in China and the price is really cheap in the mini market or supermarket they provide with official license stickers on the food and in SHA they also has a really big Disney store near the pearl tower. They don't need to go to Disneyland to buy that stuff. In HKG there was an official store too but the goods is not as vary as in SHA.

But, in China you can find someone who sell the Keychain or "Minnie" hairband with a really cheap price outside or inside the park ~

The hairband collection in SHA also not as much and as cute as HKG collection. But, I am also not sure because the difference time is almost a year maybe they already out of stock for that kind of stuff.

3. Queue
The queue is really amazed me, I prepare myself and told my friend the que is really crazy when I came to HKG, but it's crazier a never ending line and I couldn't see the end of that line. Hahahaa. Actually, because I came during off season I didn't wait that much in HKG, but my friend who went there this holiday she said she wait an hour for one attraction but for us when we already choose the most suitable time when everyone already go back to their school and their work but we still wait for 3 hours for every attraction. I got a fast pass to tron, but only one. Because, the other already been taken by the other who run to the booth and take the paper and that's really fast and if you have a free pass you need to wait until designed time to come. It's better to use the apps if you can. Because they let you get in first if you use you phone then the one who use the paper.

4. The Castle
I love SHA castle because I can went to see what is inside the castle and there is a photo spot and an attraction like an interaction movie maybe. I am not really interested because that also will take a lot of time to wait. But the castle is really big! HKG one only like a gate, yes only a gate ~ I didn't remember anything looks like a castle beside that gate.

5. Photo Spot
If I want to take a photo with disney characters, SHA make a special place for that and maybe there are somewhere at the street but they already stand by and sometimes they change the character but still on that queue so everyone who wait will have a photo. When I was in HKG I rarely find any character because they only stay at certain times and if the queue is too long they will cut you and told you to wait for another character.

6. Fireworks
I really watched it several time, I am not sure why but in SHA the fireworks is not as much as the HKG ones. They provide a water show but I think the fireworks is not as good as the HKG ones. But, the song compilation is newer in SHA. My friend said that the HKG one is renowned now so maybe next time they will upgrade that (maybe). I am really touched by HKG fireworks shows but not when I was in SHA.

That's all about my point of view about China version of Disneyland, I hope I can visit another Disneyland soon, but maybe after I graduate from CQU.

P.S : if I can update from my laptop I'll add several photos from my trip to HKG and SHA ~

Life to the Fullest! 😘

My mom told me that I did everything that I love and I think that will be right and my mom also worried after I told her that I don't have enough time to traveling. For 25 years of my life I always do whatever that I want and I always break the rules and I really hate when I need to stay at the cage. But, my world is going upside-down now ~ What I define as PERFECT life is really hard to achieve when everything is in control everything well organized. My friend said that I am totally freak with that routine and everything in place. No No, I am not that kind of FREAK people who want everything in the right place. I also love to be messy but I think that depend on with someone that I think that closed enough with me. hahaha.

Now, I would like to write about what I think to life to the fullest if they said YOLO (You Only Live Once) I'll say just stayed to be yourself. I just read Jessica Hagy's book How to be INTERESTING and I think that I found someone who have the same idea with me about how to have an interesting life. It's not only about how much you have, how many friend that you have, and how your life in the other people eyes. No No No. It's more than that because your self satisfaction is determine by you and only you. No one will know what kind of things that will satisfied you.

This is how I tried to life to the fullest with my own version of happiness !! It's will be vary to everyone. It's only what I want to write (before China block the VPN and I can't write this blog anymore). 

1. Be yourself! YES YOU!

You'll never WRONG to be YOU. You have your own preference, your own standard and your own style. Why you need to be someone else when you are more than enough when you become yourself. I think when you brand yourself as what you want people think about you and brainwash the other what you want them to see you. It doesn't matter what people think and what people say behind your back, no one will be that perfect until no one talk about them. Everyone has their own mistakes and you can't make everyone like you, just make sure that you have more friend than enemy. hahaha

2. Never say ENOUGH

After I watched the greatest showman, it's a big mistake to always say never enough but that the truth. That a human being to say that I am not ENOUGH. hahaha. From the other point of view I think its a really great way to achieve something big and bigger than you think. It's okay to be greedy for something and have a really BIG DREAM. For me, if I say enough to something means that I will stop doing that or I never do that again. I will STOP and not getting what I want and sometime I am regret about that. I have a lot of regret but I also couldn't turn back time. The only thing than I need to set is never say enough to whatever that I want the most.

3.Everything is POSSIBLE, you just need to TRY

I remember about "What Faith Can Do" song,  -Impossible is not a word it's just a reason for someone not to try- that's what the lyrics said. You will never know what will happen if you never try. You need to try, and sometimes you need to fall down and then struggling and then want to die but you need to wake up and try again. TRY and TRY again. Everything is POSSIBLE at the right time with right people, so you need to find the right partner to be crazy with you and to accomplish that with you and has a same vision with you. I told to myself that if I don't want to fail just never try but I also never know what will be happen next if I accomplish that. Dream will always be a dream until you wake up and make it happen.

4. It's okay to be ALONE, but you won't feel LONELY

Several days ago, I talked with my friend and he said that I need to have more ME time ~ I tried this before I went out ALONE, but I look around and I felt that I am not lonely. That will be the golden time for you to realized what good and to be grateful with you have. Trust me that will be the greatest way to healing your exhausted day.

5. TRAVELING MORE, it's not about how far you go
I am not telling you to spend all of your money for traveling, you need to get some sunlight ~ Traveling is about getting something new at new place with new people (stranger maybe).

6. EAT. PRAY. LOVE
I never think before that I will think this movie title will be really good way to describe how you have a fullest life. First think that you need to remember is FOOD, and then you need to keep praying to your GOD because that will be a HOPE and the last is LOVE from the others, your family, your friends, your dogs, just anyone around you. hahaha.
