Sir,

 

The Disney Hollywood Hotel pool is HEATED! It's maintained at a nice comfortable temp (around 26-28C). Very safe for kids too as there are two to three lifeguards at any time.

 

The whirlpool beside it is maintained at around 36-40C.

Sayang, they should have mentioned it on their web site. When we went there, we didn't swim because the outside temperature is about 22C. Well . . . maybe next time.

Mga Sirs,

 

I'm planning to go there this November with my sister and her 2 kids. Would a budget of P50K be sufficient?

Appreciate your comments...

 

Thanks!

taray mo naman, kuya.

 

dennis is right, shane, if the 50k will be the budget for all of you. hongkong is a bit expensive, more so disneyland.

 

however, if you can give me an idea of your tentative itinerary ( how many days are you staying, does the budget include airfare and lodgings for you alone or for all of you, do you plan to go to disneyland, etc), i can probably give you an estimate of how much you would need to prepare.

wetaminit. ulitin ko lang post ko. according to LFT medyo suplado daw kasi dating ko. my apologies shane. pero you know what, LFT is right. there is a way! there are budget hotels in HK. for P50k, you can still go around HK (medyo limited lang nga ang shopping mo)

 

i suggest you talk to LFT on how to go around HK with a limited budget. if there's a will, there's a car

LFT is right, if 50k is just ur budget for the whole trip, then it might not be enough.

 

then again, when we went there, our budget was around 85k for the 4 of us, for 5 days of stay, including disneyland and ocean park. nag overshoot lang sa budget kami. but ang initial na target (based on calculations) dapat nasa 60k lang for everything including airfare, accomodations and food.

 

siguro, konting dagdag lang, pwd na... di ka nga lang makakapagshopping

:thumbsupsmiley: yan si kuya, likas na matulungin! if there's a will, there's a car...este..way, ika nga ( nahawa naman ako sa iyo, kuya!). and if your funds are severely limited, i can find a way to fit your budget so you get to go abroad pa rin hindi naman obvious sa handle ko na i like to travel ....

true, expensive talaga ang disneyland and ocean park. pero never fear, shane - just give me the details and we can always work around your 50k. a bit tight but i might find a good deal for you pa rin ( and pasalamat ka libreng advice ito kasi i normally charge clients for preparing their travel itineraries... :boo: )

If shopping is your purpose in going to HK, even P1M is not enough. Why, because there are so many things to buy and things are not on 'sale' would likely be more expensive given the exorbitant business rent.

 

Set your priority first. What are you in HK for? Shopping or to enjoy the theme parks?

 

3 years ago, our group went with 5 kids, our priority then was for the kids to experience Disney & Ocean park to the fullest. We stayed at Disney Hollywood Hotel with breakfast buffet for 3 days 2 nights. The hotel rates back then was about Hk$1,200 ++ We spend more on theme park tickets, food, Disney souvenirs, & Ocean Park souvenirs. We do mostly only window shopping. When we came back, we buy 'pasalubongs' at 168 mall. Up to now, that HK theme park visit is still one of the most memorable vacations the kids ever had.

yeah we get the message, but what we're trying to do is help shane manage with a P50k budget for 4

actually, do-able naman talaga. yun nga lang, you cannot afford to be picky. pero pwede.

come to think of it, parang mas ok nga eh. mangangapa ka sa HK. hmm... parang masarap na experiment yun ha. pagkasyahin mo P15k sa hk for 3 days. i think i can.

[Shane Garcia]

Thanks, Dennis, LFT and the other posters...

Not really doing it for shopping, it's my nephew's 7th birthday and he requested a trip to Disneyland and Ocean Park instead of a traditional party.

 

LFT if your offer stands, here's the proposed itinerary.

 

Fly to HK using Cebu Pacific (cheapest fares, I think) on a Friday, spend the weekend and fly out to Manila by Sunday.

 

We're thinking 3D/2N should be sufficient time for them to enjoy the sights.

 

I was there on a business trip before several years ago but I didn't get to enjoy it as it was all work...

Anyway, the P50k is the working budget of my sister. I think it's all in. She's scared to travel alone with the kids that's why I'm tagging along.

 

The trip is mainly for the kids so we can probably share a room with them. We're not picky naman with the lodgings as long as the place is clean and safe. Anyway, we'll be spending the day and much of the night sightseeing naman so the hotel is basically just for sleeping and storing our clothes.

 

Oh and we don't mind if the hotel is not very near HK Disneyland as I know that the hotels there are fairly expensive. We can stay at other hotels as long as we can access the MTR or other accessible transport to HK Disneyland.

 

Also, the sights, aside from HK Disneyland and Oceanpark, what other sights would you suggest that we can fit in the budget?

 

Oh and by the way, my younger nephew will be less than 2 years old by the time we travel. I think he gets to travel for free?

 

Thanks and I really appreciate your replies.
