For our first anniversary we took a trip to Hong Kong and went to Disneyland. We had planned to do one day in Disneyland and one day in the city, but we had such a good time the first day that we decided to go back to the park and do it again for day two.
The weather in Hong Kong was new for Mexica. She found it quite cold. The temperatures were around 70 degrees F during the day and cooler at night. She was freezing. We had thought about the temperatures and she brought sweaters and a hoodie but those were not warm enough. Day two was cooler (about 65F) than day one, and she bought a Disneyland fleece-lined jacket. I wore shorts the afternoon of the first day and then long pants but a short sleeved shirt on the second day, and I was very comfortable. It was summer in Seattle!
My favorite part of the park was Grizzly Gulch. There were no crowds, maybe because it was farthest from the entrance, and no lines for the their great Runaway Mine Car ride. I mean NO LINES. We rode the ride twice, back to back with no waiting. It's a good roller coaster and Mexica loved it. There was also only a short line to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse, so we had our pictures taken with them.
We stayed at the Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. It was very convenient, they had a shuttle bus to the park, and the room was nice. The food in the hotel was not great, but that was the only downside.
We came back loaded down with "pasalubong" for the family (pasalubong is Tagalog for gifts, particularly from overseas).
