==History==

=== Early history ===
[[File:Front view of Disneyland.JPG|thumb|left|Front view of Hong Kong Disneyland]]

[[Penny's Bay]] was filled in to provide land for the construction of Hong Kong Disneyland. The bay was previously undeveloped except for the Cheoy Lee Shipyard, which opened in the 1960s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Northshore Lantau Development Feasibility Study|url=http://www.epd.gov.hk/eia/register/report/eiareport/eia_0402000/index.html|publisher=Environmental Resources Management}}</ref>

The city's [[Chief Executive of Hong Kong|chief executive]], [[Tung Chee-hwa]], was instrumental in introducing the Disneyland project to Hong Kong. When the [[SARS epidemic]] devastated the city's economy in 2003, it was hoped that the new Disneyland would help boost confidence in Hong Kong's tourism industry.<ref name="tam2">{{cite news |author=Tam |first=Tammy |date=21 January 2016 |title=China's two Disneylands: Competitors or complementary attractions? |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/economy/article/1907607/chinas-two-disneylands-competitors-or-complementary |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240527032215/https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/economy/article/1907607/chinas-two-disneylands-competitors-or-complementary |archive-date=2024-05-27 |newspaper=[[South China Morning Post]]}}</ref>

Hong Kong Disneyland had one of the shortest construction periods of any [[Disneyland]]-style theme park. On 12 January 2003, more than 400 guests celebrated the [[groundbreaking]] of Hong Kong Disneyland after the finishing of land reclamation in [[Penny's Bay]]. The audience included Tung Chee-hwa; [[Michael Eisner|Michael D.

=== Expansion ===
[[File:HKDisneylandreservedland.jpg|thumb|right|Former empty land reserved for future expansion viewed from the Tarzan's Treehouse in Adventureland. It is now where Grizzly Gulch is located.]]

In January 2012, Hong Kong Disneyland has been in the process of negotiating with the [[Government of Hong Kong]] to invest its HK$5 billion profit for new attractions. Further details of the expansion would be announced within a 12-month period from January 2012. A shopping complex and new hotels would be taken into consideration for the new expansion plan.

In Hong Kong financial secretary [[John Tsang]]'s 2013–14 budget speech, he announced that a new night time parade: "Disney Paint The Night Parade", as well as an area featuring characters from the [[Marvel Universe]], will be built in Hong Kong Disneyland.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2013/02/27/hong-kongs-disneyland-to-get-marvel-superheroes/?mod=chinablog|title=Hong Kong's Disneyland to Get Marvel Superheroes|last=Ng|first=Jeffrey|date=27 February 2013|newspaper=The Wall Street Journal|access-date=28 February 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.budget.gov.hk/2013/eng/budget06.html|title=The 2013–14 Budget – Promoting Tourism Industry|author=John Tsang|author-link=John Tsang|date=27 February 2013|publisher=Hong Kong Government}}</ref> On 8 October 2013 then Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman [[Thomas O.

On 17 February 2014, Hong Kong Disneyland announced its 2012–13 financial results as well as a plan for the third hotel at the resort. The third hotel would be the largest hotel at the resort, featuring 750 rooms with an adventure and exotic theme, and would cost {{HKD|4.26 billion}} to build.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=11&art_id=142624&sid=41601656&con_type=3&d_str=20140218&fc=|title=Third hotel next big Disney thrill|author=Beatrice Siu|date=18 February 2014|newspaper=[[The Standard (Hong Kong)]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610123024/http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=11&art_id=142624&sid=41601656&con_type=3&d_str=20140218&fc=|archive-date=10 June 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> The third hotel, Disney Explorers Lodge, opened on 30 April 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://attractionsmagazine.com/disney-explorers-lodge-now-open-at-hong-kong-disneyland/|title=Disney Explorers Lodge now open at Hong Kong Disneyland|date=2 May 2017|website=Attractions Magazine|access-date=23 August 2019}}</ref>

Hong Kong Disneyland was also built with the space for a second park directly across from the entrance to the current park. Disney has not yet announced that the second park is in development. Land is also available for additional hotels other than the three current, but the common thought is that the second park will be built before a fourth hotel.{{citation needed|date=April 2018}} However, it was announced in September 2020 by the Hong Kong Government that Hong Kong Disneyland's option to purchase the 60-hectare expansion site next to the existing park will not be extended after its expiry on 24 September 2020 as it is unable to commit to using the site in the near future.<ref>{{Cite web|date=23 September 2020|title=Hong Kong Disneyland's option on next-door site not to be renewed|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/hong-kong-economy/article/3102753/hong-kong-disneylands-option-next-door-site-will|access-date=30 October 2020|website=South China Morning Post|language=en}}</ref>

On 24 May 2018, Hong Kong Disneyland opened the first project part of the multi-year expansion: Moana: a Homecoming Celebration, an atmosphere stage show performed daily at the newly built Jungle Junction venue in [[Adventureland (Disney)|Adventureland]].

Hong Kong Disneyland is located on [[Lantau Island]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eac.hk/pdf/distco/maps/dc2015k.pdf|title=District Council Constituency Boundaries - Tsuen Wan District|publisher=[[Electoral Affairs Commission]]|access-date=5 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eac.hk/pdf/distco/maps/dc2015t.pdf|title=District Council Constituency Boundaries - Islands District|publisher=[[Electoral Affairs Commission]]|access-date=5 May 2019}}</ref> The park is divided into eight themed lands. On entering a land, a guest is completely immersed in a [[theming|themed environment]] and is unable to see or hear any other realm. The public areas occupy approximately {{convert|27.4|ha|acre|abbr=off}}. When the park initially opened, it consisted of only four themed lands instead of the traditional five themed lands found in Disney's castle parks:

* [[Main Street, USA]], designed to resemble an early 20th-century Midwest town.
* [[Fantasyland]], bringing to life characters from fairy tales and Disney films.
* [[Tomorrowland (Disney Parks)|Tomorrowland]], an optimistic vision of the future.
* [[Adventureland (Disney)|Adventureland]], featuring jungle-themed adventures.
When the park opened, it did not contain [[Frontierland]], the traditional fifth theme land. In 2012, '''Grizzly Gulch''' ([[Cantonese]]: 灰熊山谷) opened as the park's equivalent to Frontierland. 

On 30 June 2009, [[Donald Tsang]], the then [[Chief Executive of Hong Kong]], announced that an expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland had been approved by the [[Executive Council of Hong Kong|Executive Council]]. The park received three new themed lands — [[Frontierland#Hong Kong Disneyland|Grizzly Gulch]], [[Mystic Point]] and [[Toy Story Land#Hong Kong Disneyland|Toy Story Land]] — all located outside the Disneyland Railroad track, south of the current area.

* [[Toy Story Land]], based on the [[Disney]]·[[Pixar]] film series ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]''. Opened 18 November 2011.
* [[Frontierland#Hong Kong Disneyland|Grizzly Gulch]], reminiscing an abandoned mining town set amidst mountains and woods. Opened 14 July 2012.
* [[Mystic Point]], heart of a dense, uncharted rain forest where supernatural events take place. Opened 17 May 2013.

On 2 May 2017, the [[Executive Council of Hong Kong|Executive Council]] approved another multi-year expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, adding two new themed lands — World of Frozen and Stark Expo — to the park.

* [[World of Frozen]], themed to the popular Disney franchise ''[[Frozen (2013 film)|Frozen]]''. Opened on 20 November 2023.
* [[Avengers Campus|Stark Expo]], inviting guests to combat villains with [[Marvel Entertainment|Marvel]] superheroes. Opening in TBA.

On 25 February 2025, HKDL Managing Director Michael Moriarty approved a 20th-anniversary expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, introducing the Pixar Entertainment Experience to the park.

* Pixar Entertainment Experience, visitors can anticipate immersing themselves in the world of Pixar, with show inspired by beloved films such as Monsters, Inc. Moreover, a broader selection of Pixar-themed merchandise will be available for guests to enjoy. Opening in TBA.

Throughout the park are '[[Hidden Mickeys]]', or representations of Mickey Mouse heads inserted subtly into the design of attractions and environmental decor.

===Lands of Hong Kong Disneyland===
{{main|List of Hong Kong Disneyland attractions}}
As of 2025, Hong Kong Disneyland has eight themed lands, each with different attractions, live entertainment, meet and greet, dining and boutiques. One future land, Stark Expo have been announced.

====Main Street, USA====
{{Main|Main Street, USA#Hong Kong Disneyland|l1=Main Street, USA}}
Inspired by the Main Street, USA in [[Disneyland]], the buildings of this Main Street are almost identical to those in [[Anaheim]]. Like other Disney theme parks, Hong Kong Disneyland's Main Street, USA serves as the entrance of the park. Plans originally featured a restaurant under the Railroad station, but were scrapped due to budget reasons. The decor is small-town America from the years 1890–1910.

Though being very similar to Anaheim's main street, the theme is heavily influenced by European [[immigrants]]. Plaza Inn — which has the identical exterior design as the one in [[Disneyland]] — mimics a classical Chinese eatery that was created by a wealthy American couple who were infatuated with [[Chinese culture]]. Another restaurant, the Market House Bakery is reminiscent of a bakery founded by a [[Vienna|Viennese]] [[pastry chef]] who brought the world's most famous desserts from the [[Emperor of Austria|Austrian]] [[Court (royal)|imperial court]].

Unlike Main Streets from other parks, Main Street at Hong Kong Disneyland is built mainly of [[wood]] instead of [[stone]]. There are no horse-drawn streetcars, though tracks for another of the Main Street Vehicle can be seen in concept art. 

At the end of Main Street is the [[Castle of Magical Dreams]]. Opened in 2020, it is double the height of the previous park centerpiece, Sleeping Beauty Castle, the nodes are integrated with symbols relating to 13 princesses. The castle forecourt features a show stage and viewing area for the new daytime stage show and nighttime spectacular, "Follow Your Dreams" and "Momentous".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Inigo |first=Joey |date=2020-11-20 |title=CLOSER LOOK: Hong Kong Disneyland officially unveils new Castle of Magical Dreams |url=https://mouseinfo.com/2020/11/closer-look-hong-kong-disneyland-officially-unveils-new-castle-of-magic-dreams/ |access-date=2023-08-15 |website=MouseInfo.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

The new walk-through attraction "Duffy and Friends Play House" opened in 2023.<ref>https://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/attractions/duffy-and-
friends-play-house/</ref>

The nighttime spectacular “Momentous: Party in the Night Sky!”, the stage show “Disney Friends Live: Party at the Castle!”, and the largest day parade in Hong Kong Disneyland’s history, “Friendtastic!”, will begin on June 28th, 2025.

====Fantasyland====
{{Main|Fantasyland#Hong_Kong_Disneyland|l1=Fantasyland}}
Fantasyland features the [[Castle of Magical Dreams]] (which replaced the [[Sleeping Beauty Castle]]) as its icon. The attractions in this area include [[Mickey's PhilharMagic]], [[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]] and [[It's a Small World]]. There is also Fantasy Gardens where costumed Disney characters can be met, and a Fairy Tale Forest. The Fantasyland is also home to the "Mickey and the Wondrous Book" stage show.

Mickey's PhilharMagic will be digitally upgraded in June 12, 2025 and will introduce a “Coco” scene.

====Tomorrowland====
{{Main|Tomorrowland (Disney Parks)#Hong Kong Disneyland|l1=Tomorrowland}}
Tomorrowland at Hong Kong Disneyland is themed to a SpacePort which features an emphasis on metallic trim, dominated by blue and purple hues. Since the opening of the park, unique attractions have been added into the Hong Kong's Tomorrowland. 

To celebrate the release of the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars-themed rides debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland, and [[Space Mountain|Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain]] subsequently became a permanent major attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland.

The first ever [[Marvel Entertainment|Marvel]] attraction in a [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] theme park, [[Iron Man Experience|The Iron Man Experience]], opened on 11 January 2017 in an area previously envisioned for a [[Star Tours]]-type attraction. The land also featured [[Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters]] on opening day, but that was replaced with [[Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!]], which opened on 31 March 2019. Hong Kong Disneyland announced that the attractions will be redesigned and become part of '''[[Avengers Campus|Stark Expo]]'''.

====Adventureland====
{{Main|Adventureland (Disney)#Hong Kong Disneyland|l1=Adventureland}}
Hong Kong Disneyland's Adventureland is the biggest among all Disney parks. It features a large island area home to [[Tarzan's Treehouse]], which is circled by the [[Jungle Cruise]] (Jungle River Cruise) — much like the [[Rivers of America (Disney)|Rivers of America]] in most [[Frontierland]] theme areas. The Adventureland is also home to the "[[Festival of the Lion King]]" stage show. The new atmosphere stage show "[[Moana (2016 film)|Moana]]: a Homecoming Celebration" debuted on 25 May 2018 at Jungle Junction. A new outdoor venue. it is the first part of the multi-year expansion being unveiled to the public.

====Toy Story Land====
{{Main|Toy Story Land#Hong Kong Disneyland|l1=Toy Story Land}}
Opened on 18 November 2011, Toy Story Land is the first new themed land since the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005. It is located to the west side of the park, behind [[Fantasyland]]. Toy Story Land is themed using bamboo to act as giant blades of grass surrounding the area. The themed land makes use of characters from the ''[[Toy Story]]'' movies, such as an enlarged [[Sheriff Woody|Woody]], [[Rex (Toy Story)|Rex]], an oversized paper plane, and [[Luxo Jr]].

Toy Story Land was marketed by the park as an "Asia exclusive". For some time its only counterpart was Toy Story Playland at [[Walt Disney Studios Park]] in [[Marne-la-Vallée]], France. After Toy Story Land’s popular in Hong Kong, it dolled out across the other Disney Parks in the world, with one at [[Disney’s Hollywood Studios]] in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] opening in June 2018 and one in [[Shanghai Disneyland]] opening on April 26, 2018.

The main attractions include [[Slinky Dog Spin]], [[Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop|Toy Soldier Parachute Drop]], and [[RC Racer]].

====Grizzly Gulch====
{{Main|Frontierland #Hong Kong Disneyland|l1=Grizzly Gulch}}
Opened on 14 July 2012, this land is the Hong Kong equivalent of [[Frontierland]] and [[Critter Country]]. The themed land reminisces an abandoned mining town called "Grizzly Gulch", set amidst mountains and woods. The centrepiece structure is [[Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars]], inspired by [[Grizzly Peak (Disney California Adventure)|Grizzly Peak]] in [[Disney California Adventure Park]]. The town was set to be founded 8 August 1888 — the luckiest day of the luckiest month of the luckiest year — by prospectors looking to discover gold.

====Mystic Point====
{{Main|Mystic Point}}
Opened on 17 May 2013, Mystic Point is a new themed land in Hong Kong Disneyland. It is set in 1909 at an adventurer's outpost established in 1896 in a dense, uncharted rain forest surrounded by mysterious forces and supernatural events. The site features [[Mystic Manor]], home of Lord Henry Mystic, a world traveler and adventurer and his mischievous monkey, Albert.

====World of Frozen====
{{Main|World of Frozen}}
[[File:Entrance of Frozen Ever After, Hong Kong Disneyland 2023.jpg|thumbnail|right|Entrance of Frozen Ever After, Hong Kong Disneyland 2023]]
A land behind Fantasyland hosts two rides themed to the movie ''[[Frozen (2013 film)|Frozen]]''. World of Frozen is set in the fictional Kingdom of Arendelle. The land features two rides, a dark ride similar to [[Frozen Ever After]] at [[Epcot|EPCOT]], and a sleigh-style family rollercoaster, called [[Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleighs]]. 
"Playhouse in the Woods" is a live interactive show based on the film Frozen II in World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland. It was originally set to open in 2020, but the opening date was delayed to 20 November 2023,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sohrab |date=2023-11-16 |title=World of Frozen Unveiled in Majestic Grand Opening Ceremony at Hong Kong Disneyland |url=https://d23.com/world-of-frozen-unveiled-in-majestic-grand-opening-ceremony-at-hong-kong-disneyland/ |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=D23 |language=en-US}}</ref> due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong|COVID-19 pandemic]].

====Stark Expo====
{{Main|Avengers Campus}}
On 22 November 2016, it was announced that Tomorrowland would be partly transformed into a [[Avengers Campus|Marvel-themed area]], as part of a massive six year expansion plan. The first ever Marvel attraction in a Disney theme park, The [[Iron Man Experience]], opened on 11 January 2017 in an area previously envisioned for a Star Tours-type attraction.

[[File:1 Disneyland Resort Line 21-02-2016.jpg|thumb|left|Disneyland Resort Line]]
[[File:Disneyland Resort Line Train interior 2012.jpg| thumb|left|Disneyland Resort Line Train interior]]
The park is accessible on the [[MTR]] via the purpose-built [[Disneyland Resort line]], a themed [[shuttle train]] service between the [[Disneyland Resort station]] adjacent to the park, and [[Sunny Bay station]], where passengers can transfer to the [[Tung Chung line]] for access to [[Hong Kong Island]], [[Kowloon]], or [[Tung Chung]]. The line runs modified [[MTR Metro Cammell EMU (DC)|Metro Cammell M-Trains]] on the {{convert|3.5|km}} non-stop route. The trains run fully automatically without drivers. The first train of the day from Sunny Bay station to Disneyland Resort departs at 06:15 and the last train at 00:45.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MTR > MTR Train Services |url=https://www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/services/service_hours_search.php?query_type=search&station=54 |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=www.mtr.com.hk |language=en}}</ref>

===Bus===
{{See also|List of bus routes in Hong Kong}}[[Long Win Bus]] operates 3 regular routes to the Disneyland Resort Public Transport Interchange in front of the park.[[File:HK Disneyland Park Promenade Transport Interchange 龍運巴士 Long Win Bus R8 Terminus.JPG|thumb|left|Long Win Bus Route R8 at the Disneyland Resort bus terminus]]
Route R8 is a circular route running between Disneyland and the [[Lantau Link]] Toll Plaza Bus Interchange. The latter can be accessed by any of the routes with the A or E prefixes (e.g. A11 or E32), and is always the first stop after crossing the [[Tsing Ma Bridge]]. It is the only all-day route serving the park, and is jointly operated with vehicles from [[Citybus (Hong Kong)|Citybus]].

Two additional regular routes, running on weekends and public holidays only, provide direct service between other places in the New Territories and Disneyland. They are route R33 to [[Tuen Mun station]], connecting to the MTR, and route R42 to [[Tai Wai station]] via [[Tsuen Wan]] and [[Sha Tin]]. For both routes, one trip departs towards Disneyland in the mornings and the return trip departs approximately 20 minutes after the evening fireworks display.

In addition to the above regular trips, seven special routes (including one [[Victoria Harbour|cross-harbour]] route) operate to and from Disneyland before and after special events at the park, of which two are operated by Citybus and the other five by Long Win Bus.

Certain midday and late evening trips of Citybus route B5 between the [[Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge]] Hong Kong Port and Sunny Bay station are routed via Disneyland.

==Criticisms==
<!-- Some of the content under this section should be moved to [[Hong Kong Disneyland Resort]]. -->

===2005/2006 Overcrowding problems===
Just before the grand opening, the park was criticised for overestimating the daily capacity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/09/07/business/disney.php?page=1|title=It's a small park: Hong Kong Disneyland faces overcrowding|work=International Herald Tribune |year=2005|access-date=31 December 2008}}</ref> <!-- well exactly how much is the official limit, then?? opening paragraphs say 32,000! --> The problem became apparent on the charity preview day on 4 September 2005, when 30,000 locals visited the park. The event turned out to be a disappointment, as there were too many guests. Wait times at fast food outlets were at least 45 minutes, and wait times at rides went up to 2 hours.

Although the park's shareholders and the [[Government of Hong Kong|Hong Kong Government]] set pressure upon the park to lower the capacity, the park insisted on keeping the limit, only agreeing to relieve the capacity problem by extending the opening time by one hour and introducing more discounts during weekdays. However, the park stated that local visitors tend to stay in the park for more than nine hours per visit, implying that the mentioned practices would do little to solve the problem.{{Citation needed|date=March 2007}}

During the Lunar New Year 2006, many visitors arrived at the park in the morning bearing valid tickets, but were refused entry, because the park was already at full capacity. Some disgruntled visitors, mainly tourists, attempted to force their way into the park by climbing over the barrier gates.<ref>{{cite web

 |archive-date=15 October 2007 }}</ref> Disneyland management was forced to revise their ticketing policy and designated future periods close to public holidays as 'special days' during which admission would only be allowed through a date-specific ticket. Ticket prices during the week were changed to reflect cheaper prices. Meanwhile, weekend prices were raised. The prices were changed in an attempt to crowd-control so the crowds would be more even throughout the week and therefore the lines would not be as bad on weekends.{{cn|date=November 2022}}

==Public relations==
Disney initially refused to release the attendance figures after media reports surfaced saying the park's attendance numbers might be lower than expected. Disney finally declared<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051124/ap_on_bi_ge/hong_kong_disneyland_2]{{dead link|date=October 2010}}</ref> on 24 November 2005, that Disney had over 1 million guests during its first two months of operation.

In response to negative publicity locally and to boost visitor numbers, Hong Kong Disneyland offered $50 discounts for admission tickets to holders of Hong Kong I.D. cards in the period before 2005 [[Christmas]]. Also, from March to June 2006, the park offered Hong Kong I.D. card holders the opportunity to purchase a two-day admission ticket for the price of a single day ticket.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.keystothemagic.com/ParkInfo/DLHongKongParkInfo.html |title=Hong Kong Disneyland Info |publisher=Keystothemagic.com |access-date=16 July 2013}}</ref>

The significant decline in attendance between 2020 and 2023 is due to the COVID-19 regulations imposed in Hong Kong, which included, during several periods, temporary closure of the Resort, reduction in Park capacity, quarantine measures and vaccinations required for visitors entering Hong Kong.
