Child Once Again

Disneyland has always been the best theme park for both children and adults. Children will enjoys all the Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Goofy etc… while the adults will became a child once again when they get onto those rides.

We set of to Disneyland after our short breakfast and taking the Disney train was such an amazing moment for our little Faith who simply loves Minnie Mouse. She was all excited to meet the characters and was asking me who she will be meeting in Disneyland. When we arrived, there were millions (I believed) of Mainland Chinese tourists and I am prepared to fight… hahaahahahah
The moment we stepped into Disneyland, we queued up to have pictures taken with those characters as Faith was really excited when she saw them at their designated places for photo-taking. While I went ahead for Goofy’s photo-taking, hubby queued up for the famous mouse – Mickey & Minnie.
I would say that that was the first time for both of us queuing up for about one hour thirty minutes just for the photo session with Mickey & Minnie. After that photo-session, we went to check out our pictures and bought a few that were really nice.
By then, we were super hungry and went to the nearest restaurant for our late lunch. We hopped into Corner Café, ordered roast chicken and pasta to share. Though we were hungry but the portion was rather big for us to finish. The food was pretty tasty for a Disney café and considered not too costly too.
After luncheon, we continued our journey to the fairyland and Faith was overwhelmed by the castle! She was so happy and told me that we will be meeting all her princess friends in the castle. We went ahead to take the carrousel which is Faith’s favourite ride and as we moved around the place, we managed to take photos with Pluto and Pooh Bear which we did not managed earlier.

We went ahead to take the Small Small World ride and man, it was fantastic. I remembered taking the ride at the Disneyland in USA and this was very pretty as well. Though it was a boat ride but the colours, the theme and the songs simply made it so beautiful!


After the ride, we continued our journey to search for the princess and finally we spotted the queue for Snow White. Thank God we were the first few in the queue and it was quite a brief photo-session as both hubby and I were really tired.
When we were planning to leave Disneyland, we realized that there was a parade going on and it was really beautiful to see all the characters parading and some were walking around taking picture with the audience. Totally fun and yes, I felt like a child all over again!

We decided to have Italian food for dinner since we had steamboat last night. We went to Pacific Mall as I recommended Grappa’s to hubby. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a small crowd of people drinking at the bar area and without reservation, we were given an hour to dine.

After settling down, we ordered the baked eggplant as our starters, spagehetti with smoked salmon cream sauce and mushroom risotto and baked cod fish as our main. I would say that the food was really tasty and the portion was really scary too! By the time we finished our food, we were too stuffed to try their desserts. Totally thumps up for this restaurant and am sure to visit again when we visit Hong Kong.
