About Hong Kong Disneyland#
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.
