Hong Kong Disneyland
Hong Kong Disneyland - WDI Appreciation Day - June 12, 2005

These photos were taken at the very first preview of Hong Kong Disneyland,
90 days before it opens to the public.  As you can see, there's still some work
to be done, but it was still a lot of fun!

The Disneyland Hotel
Disney's Hollywood Hotel
Welcome!
The Chase Family

Are we on TV?
Our first glimpse of Main Street with the Castle at the end.

of Lantau Island in the background.

Not to disturb you or anything Ben, but do you realize we are at DISNEYLAND???
I'm wondering how a little row of plants will keep a lot of little children from climbing on Buzz...
Teacups
More Teacups
Dumbo with Daddy
Dumbo, Ben's favorite Disney Movie
Mommy, when I was on Space Mountain I felt like this...

Well hello there, Turk.  Nice to meet you.  I'm Ben.

Mom, I'd like to smile for the photo but I'm too busy eating all this free chocolate popcorn.  Maybe later.
The boys check out the artwork for Mike's show.
Our first glimpse of what it is that Mike has been working so many hours for... Storybook Theater, still under construction.
Unique Tree
Some more unique trees that look like they swallow some other trees!
Outside Festival of the Lion King, the other theater at Hong Kong Disneyland.
Danger!  This lamp post is not done yet!

It won't be too long before this very heavy mallet is removed... Nathan was enjoying making music and then he wanted to see what sound Benjamin's head made...
When Ben walked into this room and saw Tarzan, he started screaming "Daddy! Daddy!".  Yes, the resemblance is uncanny...
These are the dressers for Mike's show, getting their first walk through of the Park.
Next stop, the moon!
This film crew followed us everywhere we went, so surely we'll end up in some promo video somewhere...
The Carousel with very space age looking horses.
Now it's time, to say goodbye...
Ben is saying "where did it go?"
