Charter On Demand

One of the most memorable things we can do as a family is when we do things together. We eat at the table together, we go to the park together, we watch movies together, etc. There's nothing like spending time with your family. And speaking of watching movies together... we do this very often. Both my husband and I try to watch movies with our kids, especially on Fridays because then the kids can sleep in the next day because it's a Saturday.

Sometimes, it's hard to get movies though. It's very challenging to go to a dvd rental shop just to browse which movies you wanna rent. And we can't afford to buy movies in original dvd's sometimes. Good thing there's this Charter onDemand where you can choose and watch thousands of movies. The exciting thing about charter ondemand is that you can pause, rewind, forward, the movie. So when you're out there preparing for some snacks with your family, you won't miss anything. If you're interested with Charter onDemand, you can learn more at charter.net/ondemand. You can also get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page. Why don't you check it out?

Hong Kong - Disneyland

I took a lot of photos when the family visited Disneyland. In fact, I took hundreds of them. SO it's pity if I don't show even just a small portion of it. Here they are:

Entrance to Disneyland

We visited with our friends. It made it more fun because we were with other people.

Micky skateboarding in the background.

Disneyland Band

At Tomorrow Land

We took the "space shuttle" ride.

We were treated to a High School Musical show.

Samantha danced with one of the dancers

This is sleeping Beauty Castle

The kids had a blast going through the Winnie the Pooh Adventure house.

Of course, the parents had fun too. It was magical inside.

Cinderella Carousel.

We went to see the Mickey's Philhar Magic. The kids loved it. When the show was over, Samantha said "One More Time! One More Time." So we stayed back to see one more time, ignoring the staff that told us where the exit was. LOL.

Went to a river cruise and truly enjoyed it.

After the river cruise, we went to see another show: The Festival of the Lion King. It was an awesome show.

Went to another show called "The Golden Mickeys, Storybook Theater"

The kids saw Micky and Minnie performed and other cartoon characters like Goofy, Pluto, etc.

The Toy Story performed as well.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Tarzan

Beauty and the Beast. The beast here has changed features already.

The Finale, everyone joined in.

Then we visited "It's a Small World After All" where they showcase the children from different countries by continent.

Of course, there was Philippines as well (Did I tell you every country in the world?). :D

Hawaii and a lot lot more.

Our Disneyland Trip ended with Magical Fireworks show at the Sleeping Beauty Castle. It was truly magical. Now Micky and Minnie are very famous in the household. LOL.

How much is the entrance fee to the Disneyland?

One Day ticket for adult = 350 HK$

We wanted to go to The Ocean Park - Hong Kong but they said it's more for adults. So we missed that one. We will go there when the kids are grown up a little. :D

I have more photos to show next time. SO watched out for them!

Our Family's Hong Kong Trip

The next leg of our trip to the Orient was in Hong Kong. It takes about an hour to reach Hong Kong from Macau by Ferry. We took two MTR (rail) rides from the Ferry Terminal to Shueng Sui, in Kowloon, the place our friend put us in. It's not the most convenient to be staying there because it would take an hour to get to the center of Hong Kong, but we didn't have a choice. Our stay there was for free. So we embraced the offer gladly.

So what are the things to do in Hong Kong? There are just too many and I was glad we opted to stay there for 5 days.

1. We visited the Harbourfront show at Victoria Harbor, near Star Ferry. The Harbourfront show starts at 8 pm.

2. We visited Walt Disneyland Hong Kong. We wanted to visit Ocean Park Hong Kong too but we didn't get to do it.


3. We went to the Peak by The Peak Tram and went up the skyway to witness Hong Kong's night life.



4. We walked through the Heritage Trail in Fanling, Kowloon.



There are other things you could do while in Hong Kong. You can:

1. Visit Stanley Market and shop there

2. Visit the Ladies' Market

3. Visit Hong Kong Museum of Art



4. Take the ferry ride (or MTR ride) to visit Hong Kong island from Kowloon.
