A Bad Trip - Places To Avoid

Since the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005, I had longed to bring my family, including my wife and 2 kids, to have a visit on the park with the hope that it would be a source of joy and inspiration. It was finally during the last summer holidays that I brought my family to go to this mecca for fans of Disney characters and at the same time have a stay for one night at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. Whilst the park was meant to be enchanted realms of fantasy and adventure, I and my family members were somehow upset by some mishaps during the tour.
Firstly, we were rampaged by a group of Mainlanders who were mostly hotheads and used to bellow across the crowd for a simple minor thing during our set-off in the Mass Transit Railway (MTR). Secondly, our baggage was misplaced by the hotel staff and we had to stay in the room for an hour to have them recovered. Thirdly, whilst we fully understood that queuing up to have a game played must be time-consuming, our waiting time for each and every game had been excessively prolonged by those Mainlanders who considered jumping queue a golden rule in playing games. Last but not least, while we had already waited for almost two hours under the blazing hot sun for driving the mini-automobiles at “Autopia”, we were eventually told that the whole system suddenly broke down and the game would not be opened for that day. What a tough luck that befell my family on this trip!
