One of my biggest goals is to bring my family (or at least my mom) outside the country. I planned this trip for one year and saved (A LOT) money to fund this trip. And behold the fruits of my efforts to push this huge family vacation.
I have been to Hong Kong and Macau in 2018 and who would have thought I would be back after 6 years? It's the first international country I've been in and I told myself I would return to see the Hong Kong Disneyland again, because the Cinderella Castle was closed for renovation in 2018. And my Disney heart is happy to finally be back! Our itinerary is pretty chill because we have 2 seniors, a kid, and an infant with us.

I've prepared a very detailed Hong Kong-Macau guide for you if you want to travel to Hong Kong soon.
Looking for a getaway that mixes culture, adventure, and a touch of glamour? Hong Kong and Macau have you covered! Hong Kong’s skyline is breathtaking, its food scene is unbeatable, and there’s always something exciting happening. Just a ferry ride away, Macau charms with its cobblestone streets, Portuguese flair, and a fun mix of historic sites and flashy casinos. These two spots are perfect for an unforgettable trip that’s anything but ordinary!

We weren't able to see the Hong Kong skyline during our visit, still we enjoyed the fog and cold weather up there.

Of course, your Hong Kong trip will not be complete without visiting Disneyland! It's my second time in Hong Kong and Disneyland still makes me heal my inner child. This time, it was more magical because the Cinderella Castle's construction was finished, and we had a blast during the Night Time Spectacular - "Momentous" fireworks show.
