Don't miss the “Friendtastic!” Parade at 2:30 PM, and conclude your day with the “Momentous” Nighttime Spectacular at 8:00 PM.

Plan your day

  • Arrive before 10:30 AM and head straight to Toy Soldier Parachute Drop or RC Racer to experience shorter waits, typically saving over 20 minutes compared to peak times.
  • Be aware that the park typically experiences its busiest period between 3 PM and 6 PM, with headliner waits averaging 32 minutes. The Royal Reception Hall is usually the worst during this time.
  • Consider watching an earlier showing of Mickey and the Wondrous Book at 12:30 PM or 1:45 PM to enjoy the show before the afternoon crowds build.
  • Note that Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad - Main Street Station, Orbitron, Rafts to Tarzan's Treehouse, and Tarzan's Treehouse are closed today. Yesterday, Toy Soldier Parachute Drop averaged 41 minutes with a peak of 60 minutes, and Mystic Manor averaged 35 minutes with a peak of 60 minutes.
