We spent two days at HK DL, but we also spent a couple of hours waiting out a downpour, and we went on some rides multiple times (did Mystic Manor three or four times).
Thanks for the tips. Is Hong Kong DL really small? I was planning 2 days there.

Mystic Manor is definitely on my list. It looks neat.We spent two days at HK DL, but we also spent a couple of hours waiting out a downpour, and we went on some rides multiple times (did Mystic Manor three or four times).
Okay, I'll take that into consideration.Hong KOng is small, unless you spend days hiking the surrounding hills!
I'd rather explore things, even the repeats. That's why I was originally planning two days. If I do change it to a single day, I can focus on the new things though. Thanks for the advice.If you skip things that exist in other parks and aren't doing a lot of character greetings, one day would be enough. But if you want to do absolutely everything, then it would make sense to do multiple days. So are you OK skipping Fantasyland, Tarzan's Treehouse and eating quick service or do you want to have a leisurely afternoon tea and hit your favorite rides multiple times?
Thanks, now, I just need to figure out where to take it.
If you're going for summer I would recommend going as early as possible and doing Hong Kong first. I did Hong Kong over the first two days of June and I thought it was already uncomfortably humid. Shanghai and Tokyo (at least when I visited) weren't nearly as humid in that time frame. Because Hong Kong Disneyland is also smaller and less stressful than the others, I'd also recommend doing it first since it is far less stressful than Shanghai and Tokyo, especially helpful if you're dealing with jetlag while you're there.I don't know what season yet. It will most likely be Christmas break or Summer vacation, so we do not need to pull the kids out of school. The only problem with making it over Christmas break is I have to squeeze everything into 2 weeks, and I was hoping to make it more like 3. I know it will not be Spring. Having it over Christmas does give us six more months to save, but the costs will probably be more expensive, too.
Yes. Many people could do it one day easily as there aren't as many attractions and the park itself just isn't as popular as Tokyo and Shanghai. That said, Hong Kong often has very short hours (and there's little to no downside to staying off property since there are no on-site perks, park opening time tends to be around 10:30, and commuting from the city is relatively painless) and some areas/attractions have special hours. I personally was there about a day and a quarter two years ago, and I would have liked a little more time, though ultimately I was able to see everything I wanted to. Many people probably would not need two full days for HKDL.Is Hong Kong DL really small? I was planning 2 days there.
Thanks, Kyoto sounds nice. I'll look into it.I love Kyoto, far more than Tokyo. Definitely worth a few days to explore if you are able to allocate some time there.

I would recommend two full days at SDL and four full days at TDR.
That was my plan. I figured we could go see the Buddha and Lantau island the afternoon of day two. We didn’t make it.I can always cut the second day short at HKDL.
