Hong Kong Disneyland has some great aspects, and some really horrible aspects. The thing that drove us the most out of our mind was the general speed at which things happened. You have to wait a long time for a lot of things that weren't worth it, most notably the character meet and greets. You can get on the best attractions in 10 to 30 minutes, but you're waiting 45 for the average character meet and greet. Weirder still is the way they happen. There's a huge emphasis on taking pictures, there's reminders constantly that the characters don't just want to say hello, but that they want to take a picture with you. Then when you make it up to the character, they want to pose with you in several poses, while someone takes many pictures of you. It's all very time consuming and it feels a little creepy.
Speaking of photos, we were walking in front of the castle (by the way the castle is so small at this park, I mean really tiny) and we saw a Disney park photographer. We decided that we would ask him to take a picture of us in front of the castle. He agreed, and staged us in a couple of shots. He then went on to walk us down Main Street USA and posed us for about 20 more photos. What was suppose to be a quick couple of photos took 45 minutes. He kept saying "one more" after each shot. It was really strange, but kind of fun too.
As for the park itself, it's got some great attractions and themed areas, and some really lame ones too. Worth a visit if you're a Disney parks fan, but maybe not if you're not into it.
