Haha :pīut still, it was a good enough breakfast buffet. How was the $298 HKD buffet breakfast, you ask? Well, not worth the $298 HKD because let’s be honest, that price was really just for seeing Mickey and Minnie. So now that meeting Mickey and Minnie was over, it was time to enjoy our food for real. I would like to say it was worth it, but it was so expensive that I can’t really say if it WAS worth all that money. The line wasn’t long at all because the good thing about this set-up was it was from 7:30am-11am and Mickey and Minnie would be there the entire time (with breaks in between) so people can come have their photos anytime. They spent time talking about (well, more like pointing at) his Mickey Minnie shirt, they each gave him big hugs and a “nose-to-nose” and we even got a big family hug! When it was our turn, Mickey and Minnie really took their time interacting with Luke. Instead, they were just gonna stand at a corner of the room for photos. We paid good money for this so we expected a lot.Īt first, we were disappointed to find out that it was only Mickey and Minnie coming (we expected Goofy, Donald and Pluto too because that’s what we saw at a YouTube video, but maybe they’ve changed it.) Next, we were doubly disappointed to find out they weren’t gonna go around the tables, like how character dinings should be. Lastly, you cannot just go inside this room without having the buffet breakfast (even if you are accompanying paying guests) There are no ala carte options so everyone in this room has to pay the full breakfast buffet amount. Luke was still free because he was under three. It’s $298 HKD for an Adult and $188 HKD for a Child. Next, breakfast is NOT included in your stay you have to pay for the character breakfast separately. You CANNOT eat here for breakfast if you are not a staying guest. First, we wanted Luke to have the experience of having breakfast with his favorite characters and second, we didn’t wanna line up under the sun at Disneyland (we were told, it could take up to an hour!)īut be warned: magic always comes with a price. Ok, so like I said, the real reason we stayed at this hotel was so that we could have breakfast with Mickey. Character Dining at Dragon Wind Restaurant But I personally would have preferred a division between the bedroom and the sink (there wasn’t any!)īecause there was no divider, I would always worry about Luke waking up from the sound of the water gushing out of the sink (not to mention the glasses clanging and other noises as we were fixing up.) You would think Disney would have thought about that. Haha.Īs for the bathroom: The sink was situated outside the bathroom itself, which was convenient in a way because someone could simultaneously use the sink while another was at the shower. These are our favorites: the Chip and Dale ones on our bed!Ī Mickey cup you can use in the room but NOT to take home. Thank you for this belated birthday surprise!Īnd these cute towel animals are all around the room. Our original trip was supposed to be on July to celebrate my birthday but we had to move it to September at the last minute. Inside the tin were blue and pink Mickey and Minnie toothbrushes for kids. Just subtle touches of Mickey like this artwork and the character headboards. Love the cute explorer-themed robes!Īnd speaking of themes, these are the amenities they provided. Requested for three bed rails so we can turn the bed into a giant playpen instead. This is how Luke’s sleeping situation turned out. We requested for a crib for Luke (hoping they would give a playpen) but he couldn’t fit in the crib they set up so we requested for them to change it into bed rails instead. What I love about Disney hotels is that the beds are usually big. We originally booked a regular deluxe room but was upgraded upon arrival. But kids might notice the lack of Mickey Mouse references around the hotel. If you noticed, the hotel is more “explorer” than “Mickey.” Adults will appreciate how the theme was tastefully executed. The main lobby of Disney’s Explorer’s Lodge by daytime. It’s heavy on its explorer themed interior and decor, which is executed beautifully. The Disney Explorer’s Lodge is the latest hotel to open up in Hong Kong Disneyland. Find out how our stay at Hong Kong Disneyland’s latest hotel went! Explorer Themed Here’s my The Disney Explorer’s Lodge review. We stayed here for one night simply to have the chance to eat breakfast with Mickey and Minnie. Was it worth it?
