I brought my 3 year old girl, 2 year old boy, my mother and my maid to Hong Kong in September 2006. It was quite a challenge for me, both my kids still drank from the milk bottle, still wore diapers(when sleeping), and we had to bring 2 strollers !

I wanted to stay at the Disneyland Hotel, but they do not allow 3 adults and 2 kids in one room, we would need to take 2 rooms. I booked the Langham Place Hotel instead. They have a Kowloon quad room to accommodate all of us. The room had 2 single beds, and one double bed. I emailed the hotel directly and got a very good rate of HKD1750+++ per night, excluding breakfast.

On the first day, we arrived at Hong Kong International Airport at about 7pm. Both my kids were tired, so I was glad that I brought 2 strollers and I can let them sleep inside. I hired the hotel limousine at HKD450. It took about 30 minutes to reach the hotel.

The hotel lobby was very beautiful. Langham Place Hotel was 4 stars, but it felt like 5 stars. We checked in and went into our room very quickly. The room was nice and comfortable, but after fitting in 2 single beds, and 1 double bed, there was not much room left. The bathroom was very modern and everywhere was very clean. We didn't feel like going out to explore, so we just ordered room service.

The next morning, since the room rate didn't include breakfast, I went out to buy breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel was connected to a huge shopping mall by an air-conditioned bridge, the distance was only 50 meters. I bought coffee at a coffee shop, and dim sum from a Chinese restaurant, then went back to the hotel room. I spent under HKD100 for 3 adults, a lot cheaper than taking the hotel breakfast. I also bought porridge from the restaurant for my 2 year old boy as lunch. We put it in a thermos flask to bring with us to Disneyland.

After breakfast, we brought our kids to Hong Kong Disneyland, with 2 strollers. We took a taxi from the hotel, it cost about HKD120, and took around 20 minutes. The park entrance was huge, and the distance from the taxi stand/bus station was very long. Luckily I brought 2 strollers, especially since it was a very sunny and hot day. There was a huge and very whimsical fountain of Mickey mouse at the entrance, we took some nice photos there. There were no queues, I got tickets very quickly.

We walked along the main street, and encountered a live band marching down the street. My boy was quite amused by the band. Then we walked to
