Hong Kong Disneyland (HKDL) Discussion Thread

^ Maybe the deal with doing the Candy Collection, might be the price of buying "the bag", itself? No reservations needed? And they may just sell a set # of bags, so that there's not a stampede on a particular night, etc. That's just what I think, but I hope you get some info. soon.

And, so sorry to hear about your dog's passing. Our cat Stella is 13+ years old, and we're hoping she'll hang around with us for a few more years, etc.

Disneyland will provide 15 per cent off for buying three or more Magic Access memberships, savings of up to HK$3,066.

With the limited offer, a package for four adults with “Tier 3” tickets is priced at HK$2,556, resulting in savings of HK$840 under the new pricing.

The theme park marked nine straight years of losses in the financial year ending September 30, 2023, even though net losses shrank 83 per cent to HK$356 million while visitor numbers jumped 87 per cent to 6.4 million.

“It shows the importance of having unique intellectual property and exclusive elements,” Ng said, referring to the world’s first Frozen-themed land.

“Despite the price hike, its annual pass programme has also created a recurring incentive to retain customers. It is a good example for Hong Kong businesses to learn how to differentiate themselves from global competitors.”

In the first eight months of 2024, tourist arrivals soared 43.7 per cent year on year to 29.5 million.
