Hi guys,

Rejoining back HK thread after V3 closed. Never join V4 cos never thought will go again there.

My family will visit HK again on mid March (during school holiday). Tickets and hotel all paid. Anyway this will be my 3rd trip to HK and 2nd trip for my family.

As usual, for any trip to overseas, I never prepare any itinerary except for something important, like Disneyland, which I still thinking want to buy 1 day or 2 days ticket.

During last trip on 2012, my family missed the fireworks show at Disneyland because we need to go back earlier to hotel (my wife waiting alone at hotel, she not feeling well that day)

Too bad, my family will missed the firework again on next trip because what I read at Disneyland webpage, 'Hong Kong Disneyland will kick off the castle’s transformation following the finale of the “Disney in the Stars” Fireworks on January 1, 2018.'

Last month
AA - cheaper
MAS - in between both
Malindo - the highest

that for March flight.

Always and sometime annoying .. just subscribe to all Airlines newsletter.

My trip is on next March, AA is RM3811 return ticket for 6 persons which is included 12 tickets, 12 meals, 12 advanced seat fees and 120kg baggage (50/70 split).

I never take AA Insurance because doesn't cover everything, just for flight. Normally I take AXA Smart Traveler VIP package, cost only Rm234 for 6 persons. This one cover start from 12:00am on the of departure day until 11:59pm on the day of arrival.

I prefer more coverage.
You can refer here for more details.
One more thing, I know where is AXA Hong Kong, my family take a pic next to the AXA building during last visit.

For the ticket, I compare between 3 airlines for the same date.
AA - 3.8K
Mas - 4.5K
Malindo - 6.5K

AA only offer TuneProtect (their own company).
Off-course need to buy separately but everything is online now. AXA will email your policy after payments.
If not mistaken, online purchase can get 25% discounts as last year.

EDIT: still 25% discounts as today.

Lucky I only know English.. Manglish.

or I just speak Malay. LOL.

Actually, when I was looking around TST during my last visit 2012, I speak Malay with my family. Then suddenly a few sale persons come to offer their stuff and speak Malay too. I not surprised at all because this is not first time for me. Even during my visit to HK around 1997 or 1998, I also meet someone can speak Malay (he is the Ambassador from Middle East).

My exp:
Tokyo, meet Japanese can speak Malay at Akhibahara. He offer some camera from his shop
Paris, meet Indian (from India) can speak Malay, he even ask me for kretek. His uncle selling souvenir under the Eiffel Tower.
Korea, my Korean tour-guide ladies can speak Malay, souvenir shop seller also can speak Malay.
London, Immigration officer at train station to Paris can speak Malay.
Dubai, seller at silk store can speak Malay.

My next trip to HK is next week. Fly on 20th March morning. Will be there for 7 days with my family. No itinerary, no plan, just leisure and shopping. Free and easy. The only plan I have is to go to Disneyland because in 2012, my wife stay at hotel only when I and my kids going to Disneyland that time. She pregnant that time. So this time she and the baby she carry in the womb on 2012 can go together to Disneyland.

I read about the castle and no more fireworks but this might be the last time I will bring my family to HK so this is the only chance to go to Disneyland HK. I still have the video inside the castle.

If my kids still want to go to HK or Disneyland after this, I will ask them to go with their own family when they get married.

I bought Disneyland ticket at Klook. Use CIMB card and promo code CIMBMY, I get 5% extra discount. Other code I tried only give RM15 max.

May, Summer started so just wear normal t-shirt like Malaysia. Even this month not so cold enough, no need to wear jacket during the day. I wear jacket after 10pm until morning. I just back yesterday.

Last March still renovation. Not sure now.

If I say better exchange while in Malaysia so you will fly back to Malaysia, exchange the money and fly back to HK again?

The place I stay last March in TST (200 meters to AOS/Sogo) have about 6 money changers, all rate there more expensive than exchange in Malaysia.

Me too... 3 times should be enough for me.

That's why my last visit on March, I stay for 1 week.

Science Museum. Lots of activities for kids. My 6 years son love the place so much. The whole family have fun there. We when there twice already. Free admission on Wednesdays.

if ask me, I will say Disneyland. never go to ocean park, my family doesn't want to go.

Use MTR better, cheaper. Some place I just walk. I went there 6 persons (with 6 years old kid).

Buy Octopus card, unused value and deposit refund at airport before fly back.
