Our trip began on 25/3/09 at the Changi Airport, of course! We were there early, the kids had some fun around the Koi pond area before we proceeded to board. Our flight was 11am on SQ861, scheduled to reach Hong Kong at 245pm.

Our plane was a new B777-300ER. It was great, especially the Krisworld Entertainment System which kept Matthew occupied during the flight. As for Jo, she made me switch programs every few minutes. In the end, I had to give her puzzles and books to keep her occupied.

Forgetful mommy already forgot what we took for lunch on the plane. Joanne fell asleep when we were about to land. Our flight landed late due to heavy air traffic and rain. Finally landed at 3pm. We cleared the customs quite fast and got our luggage immediately after that. We then took a Airport Express train to Tsing Yi station, then changed to the Tung Chung line, getting off at Sunny Bay Station to take the Disney MTR train!
Everything on the Disney MTR train was Mickey theme! Imagine Jo's excitement when she saw Mickey everywhere.
>> Jo so excited!
>> Even the windows are mickey shaped!
We finally reached Disneyland and went to Hollywood Hotel via the courtesy bus. We checked in, washed up and rushed back to Disneyland! We saw Mickey and Minnie and joined the queue to take photo! Joanne couldn't wait, ran to the front and stood at the side watching Mickey and Minnie.

>> Finally our turn!

By that time, the kids were hungry, so dinner first. We bought noodles and rice sets to share and Joanne couldn't wait to go on the rides.
By the time we finished the teacup rides, it was time for fireworks. It was so magical, with the music and the loud and colourful fireworks.

What a wonderful way to end the day and to start our trip! We went back to the hotel, happy! The kids had fun, bathing in the bathtub. They finally went to bed and were asleep in no time! For more fun the next day!
