Hong Kong Disney

Carousel ride....MK's choice and the whole family jumped onboard.
Not Cinderella's castle.....
Sharing sugar....
This ride was fun for all....so much like our Disney but different all the same.
Not the first ones to enter the park, but certainly close!
I love these little benches.....cute little Mickey seats.

Bright and early this morning, our crew awoke. Much to our dismay, there was no sleep to be had past 5:00am so we all got up and began our day early with Pop Tarts. Yum and healthy. Seeing as the park did not open until 10:30, we had time to kill and we spent it doing some schoolwork - I am thinking the boys will sleep in tomorrow being that they learned today that when you are early to rise, you are early to do schoolwork even when in Hong Kong!
Alas, the time came and we began our day at Disney. What a wonderful day we had. The boys both thanked us for bringing them and thoroughly enjoyed every minute, every snack and every ride they experienced today. MK, well, she said two things. One, she was not impressed seeing as, in her opinion, they did not have enough princess rides and, two, she was scared of the Toy Story ride. Now, in between her dislikes, we saw some big smiles, lots of twirling as she danced to the numerous Disney tunes we heard and we heard her squeals of delight when she spotted a character she knew. Space Mountain topped the list of favorites today - quite different than the one in Florida. It was same but different.....and very, very fast. We finished our day off with a "Za" as the boys have taken to calling it. Pizza is a comfort food for all of us so we were glad to find a taste of home.
Tomorrow we plan to tour the city of Hong Kong for a bit. Then, tomorrow evening, we will fly to Guizhou. Our flight gets in super late tomorrow night so I am not sure when we will update again but I will try to get a post in before Maddox Day! Until then.....

School...really? :) We were so thankful to hear that you all had arrived in China. For our kids, it seems like they are traveling and asking, "Are we there yet?" every five minutes...except they were saying, "Are they there yet?" Continuing to pray for each of you and Maddox. We simply can't wait to see her!
Love,
The Wileys

We are all so excited for you. I hope everything continues to go smoothly. My girls were jealous that Colin and Pryce were going to skip school so I will have to let them know that even in Hong Kong the Drafts are schooling.

We will continue praying for you. Can't wait for the next update.

What a great day! I am glad that you are all safe and enjoyed your time at Disney. Hopefully the early risers will stay in bed a bit later tomorrow as they adjust to the time change. Continued safe travels!
