The resort is spread out over 310 acres (126 hectares) and includes a theme park with four ‘lands’ based on fantasy, space, adventure and Americana as well as two themed hotels.

Hong Kong Disneyland is a commercial attraction, it aimed to help visitors to spend leisure time wholly commercial-based, likes similar to other theme parks, with intensified simulation which created a sense of escape from reality by the environment and surroundings usually create a destination in itself.

Visit the many attractions in Main Street USA. Hong Kong Disneyland celebrates Halloween, Christmas and the Chinese New Year in style and features some of the best classic attractions; entertainment from other Disney parks around the world.
