Hong Kong Disneyland
Building Disney theme park at Lantau Island, family entertainment
On reclaimed land of Lantau Island, Hong Kong Disneyland stages character parades, themed lands and family rides around Sleeping Beauty Castle, attracting families and fans of Disney entertainment and seasonal events.
Hong Kong Disneyland is a Walt Disney theme park located at Penny’s Bay on Lantau Island that opened in 2005. The park combines Disney character experiences, themed lands, rides and live entertainment focused on families and Disney fans.
The park comprises several themed lands radiating from a central hub and castle area, including Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point and Toy Story Land. Attractions range from gentle dark rides and character meet-and-greets to larger family coasters and indoor shows.
Built and operated as a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company and local partners, the resort has been expanded in phases since opening to add new lands and attractions. It functions as both a regional theme park and a destination for international visitors to Hong Kong.
Located on Lantau Island at Penny’s Bay, the resort is west of Hong Kong International Airport and is reached by the MTR Disneyland Resort Line at Sunny Bay station, bus links and road connections.
- Opening and access: The park opened in 2005 at Penny's Bay on Lantau Island and is served by the Disneyland Resort Line via Sunny Bay station, with shuttle and ferry links available.
- Visiting tips: The layout is compact compared with some international Disney parks but includes multiple unique themed lands and seasonal events; weekdays outside school holidays are typically quieter.
