Planning a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland? This guide will help you figure out all you need to know, from Hong Kong Disneyland park tickets and attractions, to dining, transportation to and from the park, and more! Since Hong Kong only has one park and two hotels, it's much easier to plan a visit here than just about any other Disney resort around the world (seriously, even with the language barrier, a first trip to Hong Kong Disneyland is so much easier than a first trip to Walt Disney World!), but the various nuances of international travel can make it a little tricky. Since Hong Kong Disneyland is pretty easy to visit, this guide covers more about the logistics of doing the trip and getting there, plus general info about traveling to Hong Kong in general, as opposed to specifics once you're there.
We are not locals to Hong Kong Disneyland, nor have we traveled there extensively, so some of this guide is based on what we've learned elsewhere while doing our own research for Hong Kong Disneyland. Much of it is also based on our first hand experiences. Additionally, while this blog is geared towards serious fans, the information in this Hong Kong Disneyland trip planning guide is applicable to anyone (although if you're not serious, only spend 1 day here, rather than 2). All things considered, we view it as one of the cooler destinations in Hong Kong, and it's located nearby the Tian Tan Buddha, which you'll definitely want to visit regardless.
As for serious Disney fans, Hong Kong Disneyland is finally a park that's on many bucket lists, with the incredibly highly regarded Mystic Manor almost alone making Hong Kong Disneyland worth visiting. (Almost.) It's also fun to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between it and the other parks, as well as experience other unique Hong Kong Disneyland attractions.
Regardless, we recommend reading multiple sources when planning a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. Here are some that we recommend: Dejiki, La Jolla Mom, Character Central, and MiceChat's HKDL forum. If you've found other useful planning sites, please share them in the comments. You also should have a planning guide in paper form for Hong Kong in general (Hong Kong Disneyland is simple enough that we don't think you'll need one for it). We checked out several books from the library before our trip, but ended up only bringing Lonely Planet Hong Kong, which was great for us because it also covered Macau. We prefer books in paper form–we are tech-lovers, but paper books don't run out of battery, potentially leaving you without critical advice in a foreign place, but your mileage may vary on that. Also, print out important reservation info just in case you have an internet issue.
Let's get started with the guide!
We love Hong Kong Disneyland, but no American should make the expensive trip to Hong Kong solely for Hong Kong Disneyland. That would just be foolish and excessive for a park that takes about two days to fully explore. Fortunately, there are a couple of other ways to visit Hong Kong Disneyland that do make the trip reasonable.
Although we've only been to Hong Kong Disneyland once, we are big advocates of treating it as the "Gateway to Tokyo Disney Resort." There are a few reasons for this. First, it's very easy to book Hong Kong as a low/no-cost stopover on the way to Tokyo, which means that it's about $0 to $50 to add Hong Kong to a Tokyo, Japan trip from an airfare perspective. (We are aware that a lot of people don't understand how stopovers work, but they're outside the scope of this post—look for a dedicated post on how to book a stopover in Hong Kong soon.) Second, while Hong Kong Disneyland has come into its own as of the last couple of years in terms of being a quality Disney theme park, it still doesn't compare to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, so anyone who visits Tokyo Disney Resort and immediately follows that visit with Hong Kong Disneyland (or any other Disney resort, for that matter) is setting themselves up for disappointment. Finally, although we don't believe there's a substantial language barrier at Tokyo Disney Resort, English is much more common in Hong Kong (a British colony until the late 1990s), making it a good way to ease into a foreign environment for those inexperienced with international travel. If you're also visiting the Japan parks, make sure to check out our Tokyo Disney Resort Trip Planning Guide. There's a lot more you'll need to know for that trip!
The other option is to visit Hong Kong Disneyland as part of a trip to Hong Kong and Macau. (For those unfamiliar with Hong Kong, although technically part of China, it's a "Special Administrative Region" on an outlying island, meaning that visiting locations in mainland China like Shanghai and Beijing requires another flight.) Hong Kong is frequently described as where "East Meets West," and there's truly something for everyone. From temples and shrines to a developed metropolis, Hong Kong has it all. Macau is akin to Las Vegas on steroids, and is a place where you can find UNESCO World Heritage Sites mere streets away from larger than life casinos.
On our visit to Hong Kong Disneyland, we started out by experiencing downtown Hong Kong for a few days, followed by a day in Macau, and two days in Hong Kong Disneyland before flying to Tokyo for five more days at Tokyo Disney Resort. Since our time was limited and we had already visited Japan previously, we did not do anything in Japan besides Tokyo Disney Resort. In an ideal world, we would recommend this itinerary plus no less than three more days in Japan. It provides a good mix of Disney and real world sight-seeing, and is definitely worth the time—especially if you expect to only visit Asia once in your life.
Much like Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland is a bit of a melting pot in terms of guest demographics. Many visitors come from Hong Kong, but it seems that just as many come from mainland China (there's a pretty big difference between the two). Hong Kong Disneyland also sees its fair share of Australians, guests from other countries in Asia, and a variety of guests from other English speaking countries. Cantonese, Mandarin, and English are all commonly-spoken languages by Cast Members at Hong Kong Disneyland. In fact, some attractions offer options for each of those three languages.
Some attractions and aspects of the park are not in English, but as English-speaking guests, we did not at all feel isolated or at a disadvantage. The things that aren't in English are pretty easy to understand given their largely visual nature, or through subtitles. We do not view Hong Kong Disneyland as having any significant language barrier.
We sort of touched upon this in the section above, but if you're a serious Disney fan, we recommend two days at Hong Kong Disneyland. Contrary to popular lore, Hong Kong Disneyland is not a half day park. It's also probably not a two day park, though. However, two days gives you time to slow down and do just about everything, plus repeat favorites, have a table service meal or two, and soak up the ambiance.
You can certainly hit the highlights in a single day, but if you're traveling all the way to Hong Kong, you might as well do two days. Exception: if you are crunched for time, visiting both Hong Kong and Tokyo, and only planning on allocating 5 days for Disney theme parks, we recommend spending 1 of those days at Hong Kong Disneyland and 4 of them at Tokyo Disney Resort.
Our research in when to visit admittedly has been quite light. We knew we wanted to see Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Resort at Christmas, so we focused primarily on the weeks around Christmas when Tokyo Disney Resort (the busier resort of the two) would be the least busy. From there, we made our plans around when flights would be cheapest.
We over-research everything, though, and what we saw basically suggested to avoid three things: 1) the summer tourist season (not only are crowds high, but so is humidity—the area around Hong Kong Disneyland might technically be a jungle), 2) weekends, and 3) holidays, especially the Chinese New Year. We've heard that crowds can be very high during these times. During our weekday off-season Christmas visit, the park seemed empty by US standards. There were several times in the middle of the day when Mystic Manor was a walk-on, and only a handful of popular, low-capacity rides had prohibitive waits.
Halloween season is another time of year that Hong Kong Disneyland, but whether you should avoid it or go because of this is a good question. We haven't been during Halloween, but we have heard incredible things about the elaborate (and genuinely scary!) Halloween entertainment offerings at Hong Kong Disneyland. We wouldn't hesitate to go around Halloween-time, but we aren't bashful about visiting the Disney parks during crowded times if it means seeing cool entertainment or events.
As always, we think the items on our Unique Disney Packing List will be helpful in any of the Disney theme parks. Specific to Hong Kong, we note that since it is a jungle (or jungle-like, at the very least) environment, plan for hot weather. Things like Frogg Togg Chilly Pads will come in handy, as will moisture wicking clothing.
In general, we would caution against overpacking. This is especially true in terms of toiletries if you're staying at one of the on-site hotels. Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel provided a large set of toiletries in our room (large enough that it was themed to the Seven Dwarfs and there was a different item for each Dwarf!). Remember, Hong Kong is a world city, and you can purchase just about anything in Hong Kong that you'd be able to purchase at a convenience store in Orlando. If you are going to be staying in multiple hotels in Asia, we highly recommend packing cubes or compression bags (I prefer the cubes) for organization. You can read more of our "carry-on philosophy" and which types of bags we use here.
Compared to Tokyo, getting to Hong Kong from the United States is super easy. Well, minus that whole 12-16 hour flight. Once you land in Hong Kong, if you're going directly to Hong Kong Disneyland, you're going to take a taxi there. Yes, you can take the MTR, but that will require two transfers and significantly more time than just taking a taxi. Both Hong Kong Disneyland hotels are basically "airport hotels," and they are only about a 10-15 minute taxi ride that will cost around $20. You will certainly save a little money taking the MTR, but the time and headache savings more than justify taking a taxi.
If you are also visiting Hong Kong as part of your trip, we recommend doing the city itself before Hong Kong Disneyland, in which case taking the MTR into Hong Kong is the way to go. Our rationale for doing the city first is because it puts you at Hong Kong Disneyland right before your flight leaving Hong Kong, and you presumably will be on more of a strict schedule (since you flight has a set departure time) on the way out than you are on the way in, and it's easier to bank on the 10-15 minute taxi ride to the airport than it is on the 30 minute to an hour long MTR ride from downtown Hong Kong to the airport.
The MTR is very reliable—it's the best public transportation we've encountered anywhere in the world—but it's still more predictable/safer to rely on a short taxi ride to the airport than a longer train ride, which means you won't need to build as much of a time cushion into your return airport trip.
There are lots of options available for phones and internet in Hong Kong, but from what we could gather, very few reasonably priced options that would allow us to use our iPhones. Unlike Japan, where MiFi is an easy and relatively inexpensive option, it seemed that Hong Kong was more geared towards phone and SIM card rental.
Fortunately, we didn't have to spend too much time researching this, as we quickly learned that Hong Kong has an impressive, free-for-visitors WiFi network. Rather than paying for anything, we just used the free public WiFi. The downside is that—as of when we visited—free WiFi was not available in Hong Kong Disneyland. We just did without internet in the park (I found it refreshing to be totally engrossed in the park like the "good ole days," with no phone to distract me), and got caught up on email and other things when we left the park each night. If you will literally die if you don't post to Instagram or Vine for 8 hours, check out this page for rental options. YMMV on this. We wouldn't want to be responsible for a headline in USA Today reading, "American Abroad Dies From Snapchat Withdrawal." 😉
We strongly recommend having a credit card with no foreign transaction fees for any international travel and also carrying cash for emergencies (plus small merchants and taxis that may not accept credit cards), but we didn't find ourselves using credit cards or cash much in Hong Kong. Instead, we used what's called the Octopus card. You think Walt Disney World's MagicBands are cool? The entire island of Hong Kong has had the tap-to-pay system down since 1997. The Octopus card is a reloadable tap-to-pay card that can be used at a multitude of locations, from 7-11 to the trains. It's super easy to use, and how we paid for probably 75%+ of our transactions in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Disneyland has two official hotels, Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Hollywood Hotel, both of which are walking distance to Hong Kong Disneyland. (There's also a shuttle if you're lazy.) We stayed at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and absolutely loved it. Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is the flagship, Grand Floridian-esque hotel, and it's slightly closer to the park. Disney's Hollywood Hotel is a Deluxe-caliber hotel that is Art Deco stylized, cheaper, and about 5 minutes farther away from the park.
If you're on a tighter budget, there are also some nearby hotels that you can find on the usual suspects of booking sites. We know nothing about any of these hotels as we felt it was worth the splurge to just stay on-site. If you're on a tight budget, there's no actual benefit to staying on-site (no Extra Magic Hours or anything of that sort), and the train ride in from the Sunny Bay station is really nice, so we don't see the harm. The biggest benefit of staying on-site is the convenience of walking between your hotel and the park, and also being enveloped in the Disney ambiance.
We do not recommend booking a hotel in downtown Hong Kong for the entirety of your stay. If you visit downtown Hong Kong, you should do a split stay, changing hotels for the Hong Kong Disneyland leg of the trip. Much like Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland is a decent train ride from downtown, and you'll spend a couple of hours per day in transit if you make downtown your home base for the duration of the trip.
Park tickets for Hong Kong Disneyland are super cheap as compared to the US parks. You can find a current listing of prices here.
One thing to strong consider—even if you're only going for two days—is to have one person in your party purchase an Annual Pass. When we went, the lowest tier of Annual Passes was just over $100. Annual Passes offer a variety of discounts (including on the hotel). If you are staying on-site and plan on doing a fair amount of dining, it might make sense to pay a little more for the Annual Pass to potentially save a large amount on your hotel and food. If you're visiting Hong Kong Disneyland for your birthday, definitely get the second highest-tier Annual Pass.
Dining at Hong Kong Disneyland is pretty simple, too. The restaurants are generally good, have a diverse selection of options (among them), and cater to a variety of dietary needs (including a couple of places that are Halal Certified). Think of it as sort of comparable to dining in the World Showcase in Epcot at Walt Disney World. We've only reviewed a few Hong Kong Disneyland restaurants thus far; to read those make sure to check out our Disney Restaurant Reviews Index.
Like with Tokyo, make sure to sample Hong Kong Disneyland's snacks. There aren't nearly as many, but there are some good ones (especially flavored drinks). Also, we highly recommend doing the dim sum meal at Crystal Lotus in Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. This needs to be booked in advance, so stop in here the first night of your trip, or call in advance.
Another thing worth trying is the afternoon high tea. As mentioned above, Hong Kong is a former British colony, so this isn't out of place like it might seem. We did high tea at Corner Cafe on Main Street, but we noticed that it was also available at a couple of other restaurants, plus there's a Victorian high tea in Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. The presentation of our desserts was excellent, and we felt it was well worth the money for the experience. This seemed fairly popular, so consider booking day-of reservations.
That's really the bulk of our recommendations. You can find what type of cuisine each Hong Kong Disneyland restaurant serves here. You'll notice not many burger places, so if you're a picky eater, your options are limited. We avoided the burgers, and found the other options to be excellent and not so exotic that anyone should be scared away from trying them.
We've already written an extensive attraction guide for Hong Kong Disneyland, so there's no point in reinventing the wheel here, just read that. It contains strategy as well as reviews of the attractions.
To our knowledge, there is no site or mobile app that offers actual or predicted wait times at Hong Kong Disneyland, so intuition and our suggestions in that article about as good as you're going to get as far as a plan of attack. Like the US parks, Hong Kong Disneyland offers FastPass (albeit limited to only two attractions!).
In our experience, Hong Kong Disneyland did not see massive crowds right at park opening like Tokyo. Rather, the attendance builds throughout the day, with the busiest time being in the late afternoon. We're not advocating sleeping in (especially with the park's short operating hours), but if you do, it's probably not the end of the world.
There's a lot more we could include in this guide, but Hong Kong Disneyland really doesn't need to be "over-thought," so let's cut it off there. We will definitely add to this based on common questions, and I'm more than happy to offer assistance and advice in the comments if you have questions.
I know this just begins to scratch the surface of planning for a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. If you have additional questions, please leave them in the comments. If you've been to Hong Kong Disneylandand have tips of your own, please add them in the comments–I might just borrow them for the guide itself!
Wow! I'm ready to go. Navigation in a foreign country would be my biggest concern. You mentioned three languages; how difficult was it to find English-speaking Cast Members?
Thanks for yet another fabulous planning article, Tom! 😀 I can't wait to go to the Disney parks in Asia someday…… (^__^) o o {Wistfully dreaming of future vacations}
As a rather recent follower of your blog (I LOVE IT SO MUCH, BTW!!!!!), I would be really interested in reading a detailed article about how you and Sarah have been able to afford these awesome overseas trips. The one thing keeping me from going that far is the daunting prospect of expenses, both in and out of the parks.
Looking forward to whenever you begin posting the trip report for this most recent adventure! 😛
Thank you so much for filling my days with incredible photos, fun stories, and Disney magic! Your blog is the best!!
~ Sophia (^__0)
PS– I, for one, would love to see a picture of that set of Seven Dwarfs toiletries in your trip report… They sound so cute!
All good points Tom! Great post. I was pleasantly surprised at how well someone that speaks no Chinese like myself could navigate the park and enjoy all of the attractions and shows.
Not 100% of the cast members can speak English, but one that can is usually not far if you need help.
I'm amazed you were able to get the picture on Dumbo. When I was there, (on every ride except the train) Cast Members would not allow me to have my DSLR out. When wandering the park (and after closing) Cast Members never gave me a problem about shooting night shots with the tripod.
For fireworks, they had initially roped off an area for tripod shooters. But when I was there (early spring) the crowds were really low and they dropped the ropes when they realized that there weren't that many people campling out for the show.
Agreed that I wouldn't make HKDLR a destination in and of itself, but if you are in the area it is definitely worth the trip.
The Hollywood Hotel is great but don't bother paying the small up charge for "Theme Park View" There really isn't a theme park view from the hotel. You can see the tops of RC Racer and you can in general see the fireworks. But due to the dense trees, you can't see the castle.
Hi! Am a new follower to your blog and it's now one of my top sites! So glad that I came across it as I haven't found anything else regarding HKDL and that's where we are travelling this year
Your blog is well presented and very positive – it is making me more excited to travel there! Even though this will be the 2nd Disney Park I will be visiting (Have been to DL in Anaheim) I am still excited to be going! That will be 2 parks down, 3 to go!! 😀
This is great as I'd like to get there maybe in 2015. Thanks so much!!
I really appreciate your posts on the international parks, especially the Asian parks! Looking forward to the dedicated post on how to book a stopover in Hong Kong. I know these international posts may not be as popular as some of the other topics but they are one of the reasons I am an avid fan of your blog, thank you!
I know that you are DVC members from your other blogs; can you or did you use DVC points when going to Hong Kong?
One of the things I'm doing now is determining if it's worth having DVC for the "other than WDW" experiences. We'd love to go to Hong Kong Disney–its definitely on our bucket list to see the other Disneylands. We want to be able to use DVC points and then also use the trip as a portal to see the Hong Kong area. Same with Tokyo, France, etc.
Hi! I am a new follower on your blog and am loving all the tips and info! We're planning a trip to HK disneyland in 2015 for end nov/early December. We are hoping to be there for the christmas festivities and decorations etc. Are you able to advise when they commence their christmas celebrations?
We recently went to Disneyland Paris, it was small compared to DW and DL, but we had a great time. I was very interested in your blog about hong Kong and Tokyo. We maybe visiting Tokyo and I was thinking we needed 2 days. Is that about right?
Thanks and looking forward to more info's.
Hi tom!!!
Love the blog…it's helped me out heaps on my bucket list item of getting to every disney in the world. So far I've done Hong Kong (last year as a stop over) and WDW this year.
Just wanted to let you know that really good accomodation was Novotel Citigate Hong Kong. It had really reasonable rates, really large rooms with great views and EVERYONE was so friendly and knew me by name. Also it was only a short train ride away to Disney. (1 train from our hotel and another to get into DL…took us no longer than 25 mins because everything runs so efficiently) and the transport to and from the hotel from the airport was great.
Hey Tom,
Great guide! How simple was it traveling from Hong Kong to Tokyo to visit both parks? When we go we'll also include Shanghai DL so might be Hong Kong -> Shanghai -> Tokyo
Hi – love reading your blog here – I am off to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks and am staying at the HK Disney Hotel – I am a bit of a wimp when going on rides and wondered if Mystic Manor was like a roller coaster or more on one level – I have been on the Haunted Mansion in Florida so is it similar – many thanks
Hi Tom
Thanks so much for the amazing information and the beautiful photos you share.
We are off to HK Disneyland in 7 weeks so I have found that information especially useful.
We are also going to WDW and Disneyland in December/January so I am still organising that trip. (We are from Perth, Western Australia) so it is more than just a quick flight to organise
My husband is a keen photographer and he especially loves some of the photos you have shared – quite stunning.
Thanks again
is bringing a toddler (<2yrs) advisable?
Hi we will be in Hong Kong from 29th Nov until 7th Dec I have been to Disneyland before at that time but I can't remember are all the christmas stuff out then or not I am taking my sister so she can see Disneyland at Christmas thanks
I would second using HKDL as a gateway for going to the Tokyo Disney Resorts. We went to both DisneySea and HKDL a few weeks ago, and comparatively, HKDL was kind of a letdown. First of all, I want to preface this by saying we went to HKDL on a day when there was some torrential rains, so to some extent perhaps my view will be slightly skewed. At the ticket booths they warned us that a good number of the rides may be closed due to the rains. Seeing as we had already made the MTR trip, and we didn't really have any other free days, we decided we'd make the most of it regardless of the ride statuses.
Some negatives:
– Upon entering the park and strolling down main street, I noticed a lot of building's facades were incomplete, and instead had these huge wood boards with the buildings face painted on it. I wasn't entirely sure if these were simply under construction, or just that way since there weren't any signs explaining the appearance.
– Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger spin was a bit disappointing. When you get on the ride it pretty much smarts immediately after you turn the first corner outside the loading zone. I guess I'm a little more use to the WDW version where there's a little bit of a lead up before you start shooting. The ride itself broke at least 20 times during our two rides, and one of the cars had a broken gun. Just luck of the draw, but it did effect the experience since it's one of our favorite rides.
– The food at Plaza Inn wasn't bad, but when we noticed there were 5 birds flying around pooping on things, and not a cast member in sight trying to deal with the issue, it kind of put a damper on lunch.
– I would say about 90% of the patrons to HKDL are from mainland China. Not to make too many generalizations, but for the most part they are known to be rude and impatient. This was evident in the queues where they would crowd the lines and try to push their way to the front.
– Maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for more snacky foods that were unique to HKDL. At DisneySea they had all sorts of stuff like Gyoza dogs, mochi shaped like the little green aliens, tiramisu ice cream sandwich, flavored popcorn carts, etc. I didn't really see much at HKDL aside from some fish ball skewers.
– I was able to get free tickets to HKDL using AsiaMiles since I've been back to HK so many times in the past few years (have family in HK).
– Space Mountain is spot on and fun… the rocket carts sit two people side by side which is fine, though in general I prefer the individual seats at WDW. For quick access, go to the single rider line which gets you on the ride in less than 5 minutes (assuming you don't mind riding with a random).
– Toy Story Land was pretty cool. I'm a big Toy Story fan, and they did a great job of recreating the feel of the movies in that section of the park. The RC ride and Paratrooper drop looked fun, but I didn't feel like waiting in line in the rain.
– Big Grizzly Mine Car ride was excellent. I was expecting something like Big Thunder railroad, and it's kind of similar but with some extra surprises. Someone said Big Thunder mixed with Everest which seems somewhat accurate. I would say it's in the top 5 of my favorite Disney rides.
– The pins, oh the pins! If you're a pin trader, this is worth the price of admission alone.
– 10% off everything at the Disney stores before noon. Had never heard of that at any other parks before.
– Don't go when it's raining, it's pretty much a cluster f*. Everyone ends up hiding in the stores because there's nowhere else to go. It ends up getting really crowded and messy.
– Have lunch/dinner/whatever at Crystal Lotus in the Disneyland Hotel. I recall going there about 5 years ago (?) and it was excellent. The quality of food and environment was spot on.
– Just go with the flow in regards to the other tourists. They're going to be pushy and a little rude, but don't let them ruin your time.
– Bring your pins if you're into that
– Go here before you go to Tokyo Disney otherwise you might be disappointed
In the end I had fun despite the rain and the crowd. In terms of quality, the park itself felt a little unfinished… like they just tried to open it as quickly as possible. Having gone to the fantastic DisneySea the week prior, going to HKDL seemed a bit anticlimactic. I kept wanting it to be like DisneySea and unfortunately it wasn't going to live up to those expectations. Anyways, that's my two cents.
Very nice article Tom.. I will be visitng disneyland on 2nd Dec 2014.. I am very excited. . Could you tell me the weather at that time of year.. that will help me in packing.. I will be travelling from India..
I want to go here also.
Me too.
We are visiting Hong Kong disney on Christmas Day this year!! What is your advise about purchasing tickets…. We have 4 adults 2 children and 2 seniors..
We can't wait!!
Excellent overview. We are going there next weekend just from Thursday to Monday. It is a 3 hr flight from Brunei And we want to surprise our 5 yr old daughter for halloween We Are big Disney fans and have been to Florida and California many times. You mentioned a day trip to Macau. Any suggestions on the best day to go and logistics of getting there. Thanks so much. Charlene
Thanks for a great read. We went to HKDL 2 years ago before Mystic Manor and Grizzly Gulch opened and loved it. We are heading back next week and will be there next Tuesday and back again on Halloween! I'm very excited!
I went to Hong Kong Disneyland in October of 2010 (before the 3 newest lands open). At the time, to call it a 1 day park would be generous. Seriously, it was pathetic. I assume now with those new lands (and Iron Man ride opening in a year or so) it has graduated to a 1+ day park.
We happened to go during the Halloween theming, and it was amazing. I remember not knowing anything about it and shopping on mainstream at night. I saw projections of ghost and stuff on the main street walls but that was it. All of a sudden I heard screaming, and I jerked my head over to see children running from zombies. My friends and I then walked out onto mainstreet to see zombies roaming the road. It was incredible! The cast members were such great actors! They would rush at you, and if you asked for a picture they would immediately stop and pose as zombies. Then when done, they would go right back into zombie mode.
I also remember the nighttime parade having a cool choreographed "zombie dance" that combined ball room dancing and lurking, along with a ton of nightmare before Christmas stuff.
I distinctly remember my (much more of a) Disney nerd friend saying "this is actually scary, the American Disney parks would never do this."
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your review. Did you write a trip report for your Macau visit?
Thanks for the info Tom! Your TDR planning guide was a great help in planning our Japan trip this past June. We had a fantastic time and are now planning Hong Kong for Nov 2015. I look forward to any posts you may have for activitites beyond the park. We hope to spend 5 days nights in Hong Kong. 2 at the parks and 3 seeing other sites.
Your posts about the park were very helpful and inspirational when it came to planning our anniversary trip to HKDL! It's only about 3 hours from our house via public transportation, so we couldn't really miss out, could we! I'll link my trip report if any fellow HKDL fans are interested, though I'll warn you in advance, we just take "normal people" photos, nothing like what Tom does! http://thevacationplan.blogspot.com/2014/12/hong-kong-disneyland.html
We are heading to honk kong Disneyland in March, and we can't wait . Thanks for all the info it was really helpful
We are planning to a trip to HKDL this Christmas. We are doing only Disneyland in Hong Kong. My query is do the Disney restaurants and other sites in HKDL accept octopus card?
Thank you for this great guide! I spent a day at HKDL on a whim while on a visa run in Hong Kong. Reading this was my only preparation, but it made for a perfect, casual day in the parks.
It's a great little park. I visited on Tuesday dec 2ns and it was surprisingly quiet, everything was a walk on exept for dumbo lol. The only thing we found strange was the tourists from mainland china were always stareing and pointing at us and lots were asking for pictures with our 2 boys ( we are from wales), being only a few of the white visitors there, this at first was unnerving but the boys loved the attention and thought they were celebs posing for photos :).
We can't wait to go back to Hong Kong tagged on to a few weeks in japan next time.
Keep up the good work Tom
We are going to Disney HK in two weeks time. I just wondering if I need to purchase the 3 in 1 meal coupons or just buy over counter??
1. Which one is more worth as we are travelling in 4 person including 1 child at 9 and 1 senior citizen ?
2. What is the best transportation to go Disney from my hotel which next to Jordan MTR?
Thanks for your info in advance.
Your tips are really interesting! So good to find somebody with unique thoughts on this topic. Nice job and really interesting please keep it up. Really like your post very much. Thanks for sharing!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the info on HKDL. We are traveling to Hong Kong in early November this year.There are 11 of us all traveling together, ages ranging from 60+ to 2yrs. We have already bought our 2 day pass and booked accommodation at The Hollywood Hotel. Any suggestions for making our time there more memorable? Any suggestions on what not to do?
Hi, Tom! We just got back from our Hong Kong and Tokyo Disneyland trip and we had a BLAST!! Thank you for your write up on both parks. It helped a lot. We are planning our next trip out there because we just did not get enough…

The Magnum Bonum, or, Mother Carey's Brood (1879) is the last of Charlotte M. Yonge's very popular family sagas. The Brownlow family, headed by the inexperienced young widow Caroline, includes headstrong Janet, mischievous Jock, and three other siblings. Their father had been pursuing a remarkable medical discovery when he died, nicknamed "The Magnum Bonum" and he enjoins Carey to bequeath his notes to the most deserving son. Janet is actually the most brilliant doctor of the family, but her very ambition for the Magnum Bonum proves her unworthy of it. When Jock represses his rebelliousness, Carey awards him the Magnum Bonum – but ironically, it is no longer medically useful. The novel is particularly poignant in …

The building was built in 1975 and was designed by architect Harry Weese. The triangular design of the building, says Mars, was deliberately meant to deflect the viewer's gaze:
"The triangular shape keeps the building pushed back from the street, there's a tall hedge between the sidewalk and the plaza in front of the jail, and the El train blocks the much of the view of the floors above."
Mars interviews the project manager who worked with Weese on the building, and talks about the Weese's utopian ideas for the interior.
I can think of quite a few buildings one might use Weese's ideas for.Quite a few. Invisible architecture, yes, it could be the answer.

ON 26 JULY we noted that the electronics and hi-fi company Denon is charging nearly $500 for a 1.5-metre length of network cable. Now a reader who wants to be known as Adam points us to Pear Audio, which is charging $2750 for a pair of 3-foot Anjou speaker cables, $5250 for a 8-foot pair and $7250 for a 12-foot pair.
The fact that companies expect people to pay this sort of money for bits of wire may make you think that some strange neurological disorder has swept the hi-fi industry. Then again, you may think that Denon and Pear Audio are models of sanity compared with www.machinadynamica.com, a site reported to us by John Noble.

Craft brewers have 'good day' in Texas Senate
By Ronnie Crocker | March 25, 2013
Photo By Julio Cortez/HC staffBrock Wagner, owner of Houston's Saint Arnold Brewing, called Monday's action a critical step in helping the state's craft brewers and brewpubs.
Photo By KIN MAN email@example.com Metzger, founder and CEO of Freetail Brewing Company in San Antonio, is spearheading a state-wide effort to change distribution laws to allow brewpubs like Freetail to distribute their beers throughout Texas. Metzger is collaborating with several other craft brewers and state legislators in drafting House Bill 660 which has been filed by Rep. Mike Villarreal. The craft brewers are even concocting a brew called HB660 in the effort to get the law passed. Kin Man email@example.com
Photo By J. Patric Schneider/FreelanceCans of beer are filled at the new Karbach Brewing Co. on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 in Houston, TX. The brewing company is capable of filling 360-400 cases of beer a day. ( J. Patric Schneider / For the Chronicle )
Photo By KIN MAN email@example.com Metzger has worked with other brewers, legislators and wholesalers in negotiating a compromise to help the state's craft beer industry.
The Texas Senate voted Monday to give craft brewers and brewpubs new opportunities to sell their beer.
"To see that happen was amazing," said Scott Metzger, a San Antonio brewpub owner who worked with other brewers, legislators and wholesalers in negotiating a compromise.
Brock Wagner, owner of Houston's Saint Arnold Brewing, called it a critical step toward passage of the state's most significant beer-related legislation in 20 years.
"We still have a path to follow," he said.
Metzger watched via his office computer at Freetail Brewing as the Senate voted 31-0 to approve two bills promoted by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild. An economic impact study Metzger prepared for the guild predicts the measures will spark even stronger growth for the state's burgeoning craft beer industry.
Senate Bill 515 would allow brewpubs like Freetail to package some beer for sale by outside retailers. SB 518 would allow production breweries like Saint Arnold to sell some beer directly to consumers for consumption at the brewery.
The latter falls short of the brewers' goal of selling a limited amount of beer that could be taken home, but the compromise package was able to secure support from brewers and areas of the industry that had resisted past efforts to loosen restrictions on small brewers.
Rick Donley, president of the Beer Alliance of Texas distributors group, which supported SB 515 and 518 from the beginning, called it "a good day for the craft-brewing industry," including manufacturers and wholesalers.
Senators also voted 30-1 to approve a third bill that would regulate the interaction between brewers and distributors that was supported by the Wholesale Beer Distributors of Texas, another distributors group.
The Senate is expected to vote Tuesday or Wednesday on two other beer-related bills.
"I'd be surprised if it weren't another 31-to-nothing vote," Donley said.
The bills then head to the House, where a committee took positive testimony last week on all five measures before placing the bills on hold to await the legislation from the Senate.
"We need to get this to the governor as quickly as possible," Donley added.

This introductory text has been revised to reflect the changing dynamics of introductory biology. Emphasizing concepts over facts, it presents the dynamic processes at work in biology.
Terry and Gerry Audesirk grew up in New Jersey, where they met as undergraduates. After marrying in 1970, they moved to California, where Terry earned her doctorate in marine ecology at the University of Southern California and Gerry earned his doctorate in neurobiology at the California Institute of Technology. As postdoctoral students at the University of Washington's marine laboratories, they worked together on the neural bases of behavior, using a marine mollusk as a model system. Terry and Gerry are now professors of biology at the University of Colorado at Denver, where they have taught introductory biology and neurobiology since 1982. In their research lab, funded by the National Institutes of Health, they investigate the mechanisms by which neurons are harmed by low levels of environmental pollutants. Terry and Gerry share a deep appreciation of nature and of the outdoors. They enjoy hiking in the Rockies, running near their home in the foothills west of Denver, and attempting to garden at 7000 feet in the presence of hungry deer and elk. They are long-time members of many conservation organizations. Their daughter, Heather, has added another focus to their lives. Bruce E. Byers, a midwesterner transplanted to the hills of western Massachusetts, is a professor in the biology department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He's been a member of the faculty at UMass (where he also completed his doctoral degree) since 1993. Bruce teaches introductory biology courses for both nonmajors and majors; he also teaches courses in ornithology and animal behavior. A lifelong fascination with birds ultimately led Bruce to scientific exploration of avian biology. His current research focuses on the behavioral ecology of birds, especially on the function and evolution of the vocal signals that birds use to communicate. The pursuit of vocalizations often takes Bruce outdoors, where he can be found before dawn, tape recorder in hand, awaiting the first songs of a new day.

We're constantly told by colleges and grad schools that the unemployment rate is 4% for those with college degrees and over 14% for those with only a high school education.
We're also told that, if some education is good, more is better. So, if you are smart enough to graduate with a college degree, you must be even smarter if you get a grad school degree.
Of course, there are lots of grad school degrees you can take, but most of us would say that MBA is probably your best bet to maximize your future income stream. A whole industry of business schools and test preparation companies have been born to help you get that coveted Master of Business Administration.
But is it worth it? Listen, I have a Master's degree from Columbia Business School. I love the school, the professors, and the friends I made there. However, there's a lot of dangerous stuff you can pick up along the way to getting your degree. Here are the 10 most dangerous things your professors and fellow students might teach you while you study to get that MBA degree.
1. That You Matter. A lot of MBA students start to think they're all that once they get accepted into B-School. They think they're even more important once they graduate and get that first job post-MBA and start having to rub shoulders with all the non-MBAs of the world. However, speaking as a guy more than 10 years out from B-School, let me burst your bubble by saying that your first job post-MBA is basically the same as a job working in the mailroom. You're a glorified paper pusher. Your opinion won't really be taken seriously by anyone in your company who matters. Don't sweat it. Just work your tush off and you'll get a chance to matter later.
2. That You're The Best of The Best. I think I remember being told this shortly after I started at B-School. I don't remember if the Dean told me or another student. But, similar to point 1, you're still a nobody. Everyone hates an MBA with a big head — especially when they miss all the subtle aspects of a company's culture that everyone who's worked there longer than a couple of years is well aware of. If you think you're a nobody and keep an open mind, you'll avoid getting a big head.
3. That You Made a Good Investment. Several MBAs I knew created detailed spreadsheets showing me and themselves that they'd have paid off their MBA tuition and two years' lost income within a very short period of time. They saw getting an MBA as an investment in themselves. I would say, if you want to learn, you can learn a lot from the 2 year experience. But there will be lots of folks out there who never leave their jobs and probably make much more money over their lifetimes. There are lots of MBAs who are still trying to find themselves over the two years. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just don't kid yourself that you're making an investment in yourself, when you're just clueless about what you want to do with the rest of your life.
4. That You're Smarter than the Average Bear. A lot of MBAs think they're very smart. Learning how competitive it is just to get into B-School, they think they're even smarter once they get there. In business, generally everyone's smart (or very good at playing office politics). If you start giving people the impression that you're brilliant, they'll start quietly working to show you up as a complete blowhard in front of others. Don't make enemies when it's unnecessary.
5. That You're Going to Become More Entrepreneurial. I always get a kick out of it when I see more and more B-Schools emphasizing that they've got a focus on Entrepreneurship. So, if you go there, you're going to become a better entrepreneur. Please. You're getting a Master in Business Administration. So you're going to be able to organize the office fantasy football league better that anyone else. But you're not going to learn to have the guts or to be crazy enough to start your own business like a real entrepreneur. It's an oxymoron that you're going to be an Entrepreneur MBA. If you want to start a business, start it now.
6. That You're Going to Get "Tools" To Figure Out the World. MBAs love tools. They inherently want to analyze something to death. And they get lots of tools – especially in the Strategy classes in second year. Five Forces. SWOT analysis. Industry analysis. They're all fine, but none is a silver bullet. And none of them is a substitute for sound business judgement. And sadly they don't generally offer any classes in that.
7. That You're OK If You've Taken an Ethics Class. After Worldcom, Enron, and Parmalat blew up in the middle of last decade, there was a bit of a crisis of confidence at B-Schools. Jeff Skilling at Enron was a Harvard MBA. The other successful companies also had management teams filled with MBAs. How could that be? B-Schools started making it a requirement that their students take one ethics class over their two years. Problem solved — or at least so the B-Schools hoped. Really this was a move to cover themselves just in case they had a future Jeff Skilling in their midst at the moment. They'd always be able to say, "hey, we made him take the ethics class… out of our hands!" The reality is bad apples will always be bad apples. It would be nice if the B-Schools could do more to keep them out or reprogram them there.
8. That Making You Work on a Team Makes You a Team Player. All B-Schools stress how they don't just make their students regurgitate textbooks. They believe in "action learning" or some silly term that forces students to work as a team. So, they must be great team players after two years of that right? Wrong. In my experience, those experiences were great at teaching you to play politics, undercut your team mates, hang them out to dry, etc. But there weren't too many rah-rah team players after the fact.
9. That You Should Put Your MBA on Your Business Card After Your Name. Just don't.
10. That You'll Now Be A Great Communicator. You do get a lot of chances to speak as an MBA. However, have you ever watched some of the talking heads on CNBC or Bloomberg? Just because you have an MBA doesn't mean you won't be as dull as dish water when you start opening your mouth. Practice makes perfect. You've got to really commit to improving as a communicator on your own time if you're going to be good at it.
You can still learn a lot from an MBA — just like you can learn a lot taking a trip to Nepal or caring for your dying mother by her bedside for two years. It's not the be-all-and-end-all of your life.
Enjoy it, but keep it in perspective.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 03:11PM
The charity has unveiled a video, created by Dare, which shows a mother and son who are forced to leave their home when the bailiffs come. The spot ends with the boy lying in a cold, dark room in temporary accommodation, to reinforce the point that homelessness does not mean people living on the streets.
The video, which breaks today, has been posted on YouTube, 4oD and ITV Player.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "It's easy to think of homelessness as single people sleeping rough.
"What people don't often consider is the rising numbers of families who, through no fault of their own, have lost their home and have no permanent roof over their heads. For people with children, 'sofa surfing' with friends and family often just isn't a realistic option."
The film will be promoted on Twitter.
The creatives working on the campaign were Dipesh Mistry and Rob Graves-Morris. The production company was Mustard and the director was Ben Liam Jones.

Coney Island Boardwalk
In 1920 the subway was extended to Coney Island, making the trip even faster and cheaper than before. Up to one million visitors a day would come to enjoy the beaches and the amusement parks with higher and faster rides. The subway, like many of the rides in the amusement parks and the famous hot dogs at Nathan's, cost five cents, a fact that contributed to the description of Coney as the Nickel Empire.

[ Locations | Map themes & related | Cartographers ]
[ 19th century regional maps of the U.S. ]
In 1850, publication of the old Tanner atlas changed from Mitchell to Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. JT OUT ON APPROVAL
"A New Map of Michigan with its Canals, Roads & Distances." Philadelphia: Charles Desilver, 1856. 14 3/4 x 11 3/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. With decorative border.
Charles Desilver, one of the many publishers working in Philadelphia during the mid-nineteenth century, issued an atlas of maps based on the famous Tanner-Mitchell-Cowperthwait series. Desilver used much the same information as originally drawn in the 1840s, but updated the maps with new counties, roads, towns, and especially the transportation network of canals, roads and railroads, always the focus of the maps from this series. This map is typical of the rather unusual and scarce Desilver atlas. The growth of roads and railroads in the southern part of the state is impressive and indicative of the huge growth in the region during the middle part of the century. An attractive and fascinating Michigan document. $175
"Michigan." New York: J.H. Colton & Co., 1856. 15 1/2 x 12 3/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
Around the middle of the nineteenth century, American cartographic dominence moved from Philadelphia to New York, and the J.H. Colton firm was one of the main reasons for this. This is their detailed map of the lower peninsula. The map contains a surprising amount of detail of the physical and social situation in Michigan shortly before the Civil War, at a time when immigrants from Europe were flooding into the mid-west. The development in the state, especially in the lower half, is profound and this map displays that graphically. Of particular note is the copious infomation on the transportation network of roads, canals,a nd railroads. A nice decorative border surrounds the map. $165
County Map of Michigan, and Wisconsin." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., 1860. 10 3/4 x 13 3/8. Lithograph. Bright original hand color. Very good condition.
The first of a series of attractive maps of the two parallel states by Philadelphia publisher S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr.. Typical of his maps, the detail is clearly presented, with special attention paid to the roads and railroads in these important mid-west states. Surrounded by a decorative border and with bright original color. $150
W.H. Gamble. "County Map of Michigan and Wisconsin." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., 1863. 11 1/2 x 13 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
The second version of Mitchell's map of Michigan and Wisconsin (cf. above). It appears that Mitchell felt that the scale was too small on the former version, for the states are shown increased in scale by about one third. Mitchell did this by showing less of the surrounding region, but also by having the states cross over his decorative border. With the larger size, the copious detail is easier to read. $125
"Johnson's Michigan and Wisconsin." New York: Johnson & Ward, ca. 1865. 17 3/8 x 24. Lithograph. Original hand color. Faint waterstain in bottom margin. Otherwise, very good condition.
A detailed early map of Wisconsin and Michigan by A.J. Johnson. Johnson, who published out of New York City, was one of the leading cartographic publishers in the latter half of the century, producing popular atlases, geographies and so on. This finely detailed map is an good example of Johnson's, and thus early American, cartography. Towns, roads, and other signs of progressing settlement are indicated. The clear presentation of cartographic information and the warm hand coloring make this an attractive as well as interesting historical document. $175
"Sketch of the Public Surveys in Michigan." Washington: General Land Office, 1866. 20 3/4 x 20 1/2. Lithograph by Bowen & Co. Original outline color. Some slight separation and wear on vertical fold. Else, very good condition.
The U.S. General Land Office (GLO) was established in 1812 with responsibility to survey and control the dispersal of public lands. All public land was required to be surveyed prior to settlement, and the first director of the GLO, Thomas Hutchins, set up a systematic process of rectangular survey for the public lands and launched the great national project to survey and map the public domain in the entire country, a procedure which got under way in the famous "seven ranges" of southeast Ohio. Each surveyor was to record not only geography, but also features of the landscape with economic import, such as roads, Indian trails, existing settlements, Indian lands, mineral deposits, and of particular interest, railroads and their rights of way. Of note is that unlike most surveys of the time, the surveyors were instructed not to apply new names to the landscape, but to use "the received names of all rivers, creeks, lakes, swamps, prairies, hills, mountains and other natural objects." Periodically the GLO would issue maps showing the progress of their surveys, and this map shows how Michigan was well covered by 1866. Interesting features are the many railroads in the state, as well as in lead and copper mines indicated in the northwest. $275
Colton's Michigan." backed with "Colton's Lake Superior and the Northern part of Michigan." New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton, 1866. Lithographs. Each ca. 15 3/4 x 13. Original hand color. Very good condition.
A Colton map from a decade later, this with the upper peninsula backed on the map of the lower peninsula. The continued development of the state is graphically demonstrated by the even more dense detail, with railroads, roads and settlements progressively expanding in the northern parts of the state. $155
W.H. Gamble. "County Map of Michigan and Wisconsin." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., 1867. 11 1/2 x 13 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
A third version of Mitchell's map of Michigan and Wisconsin (cf. above). This is an updated version of the W.H. Gamble rendering of 1863. Besides a change in the border style, the main change is that there is considerably more railroads shown in southern Michigan, showing the development of that state. $125
"Map of the state of Michigan Showing Counties, Townships, Railroads, Stations etc." 1873. Lithograph. Original hand color. 23 x 14. Some light spotting throughout, some short marginal tears and manuscript notation in Lake Michigan. Overall, good appearance and condition.
This map does contain much information on the townships and counties, settlements, etc. of the state, but the focus is on the railroads. These are boldly outlined and stations marketed and named along all the routes. $150
Eugene Robinson, City Surveyor. "Gray's Atlas City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan." Philadelphia: O.W. Gray, 1873. 11 3/4 x 14 1/2. Lithograph. Full, original hand color. Very good condition. $70
"Gray's Atlas Map of Lake Superior and the Northern part of Michigan. No. 2." Philadelphia: O.W. Gray & Son, ca. 1880. Lithograph. 12 x 14 3/4. Original hand color. Repaired tear in left margin, repaired crease in lower left margin, and minor browning at edges. Otherwise, very good condition.
Though the center of American mapmaking had moved to New York by the second half of the nineteenth century, the Gray firm was still publishing fine maps in Philadelphia. This is their map of the upper peninsula. By 1880, this section of the state was becoming more developed and this map clearly depicts the roads, railroads, and settlements in the region. $65
"Michigan." Philadelphia: O.W. Gray & Son, 1881. Copyright, G.W. & C.B. Colton, 1874. Lithograph. 23 1/4 x 16 1/4. Original hand color. Very good condition. Backed by maps of the upper penisula and Wisconsin.
A tall map of the entire state, reissued by the Gray firm from the Colton plate first published seven years previously. Detail is impressive, with each county and township indicated and named, and rivers and lakes depicted throughout. Of particular interest is the extensive network of railroad lines shown criss-crossing the state. $150
"Michigan." Chicago: Geographical Publishing Co., ca. 1920. 21 x 14 1/2. Cerograph, printed in color. Very good condition.
A nice early twentieth century map of the state by one of the chief rivals to the Rand, McNally Co. The map is in two sections, with the upper peninsula on top, directly over the map of the lower peninsula. An inset shows Isle Royal. Good detail of roads, towns, and counties. $50
"Federal Map of Detroit and Environs Showing all New Streets and Changes, New Car Lines, Penn. Detroit Ry. etc." Detroit: Federal Lithograph Company, 1923. 16 5/8 x 24. Chromolithograph. With folds as issued. One small torn area near lower edge, away from image. Else, very good condition. $125

Police: ATV driver may have been intoxicated in crash that killed three
Sole survivor, toddler, stable at Riley
Authorities say an Indianapolis woman and two toddlers died when an off-road vehicle slammed into a concrete wall along a rural western Indiana road.
Indiana Conservation officers on Monday identified the victims of Sunday's crash as 22-year-old Andrea Allen of Indianapolis, her 1-year-old son, Jaylen Rawls, of Harvey, Ill., and 2-year-old Nevaeh Dempsey, a friend's daughter from Indianapolis.
Allen's other son, 2-year-old Xavier Rawls of Harvey, Ill., was in stable condition at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
State officials said the three toddlers were riding in front of Allen, who was driving the single-seat off-road vehicle.
Franklin Davis witnessed the accident and said he was one of the first to arrive at the crash. He said he pulled Allen away from the flames.
"At that time, I noticed a child down in the wreckage and fire was burning, so after I pulled her back, I went back for the child," Davis said. He said he then noticed a second child and was able to pull him out.
"This child, he was conscious, just in a lot of pain, moaning and groaning," Davis said of Xavier Rawls.
Davis said he never saw the third toddler.
"We mourn for the family and the people who were involved in this incident," said Christopher Springstun, a representative for the Department of Natural Resources. Springstun said an autopsy was scheduled for Monday night.
The three victims apparently died when the vehicle crashed into a cement wall, cracking it down the middle, and then caught fire near the town of Center Point about 60 miles southwest of Indianapolis. Investigators said none of them were wearing helmets, and early indications were that alcohol may have been involved.
Center Point resident Terri Moore, whose home is just next door to where the accident occurred, placed flowers Monday at the crash site.
"It was a really tough night last night," Moore said. "It happened in front of our home and I just wanted to honor the victims … especially the children. I'm sure this lady had no intention of doing harm to anyone."
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Kampala — Local leaders in a recent march for peace. Journey for Life is planning a similar walk against malaria
A FUNDRAISING walk is being organised from Kampala to Gulu to call for the end of malaria and the war in the North. The 480 km march dubbed 'Journey For Life', is organised by Congress of Racial Equality (CORE-Uganda) and Charity Walkers International. It is scheduled for September 20-30.
"The walk is aimed at sensitising Ugandans on efforts of the Government, the Ministry of Health, NGOs and others, to eradicate malaria, the number one killer disease in Uganda," said a statement from CORE-Uganda, signed by Fiona Kobusingye, the chaiperson of CORE-Uganda.
Kobusingye, who is also the co-ordinator Great Lakes Region, said in spite of efforts to rid Uganda of this preventable and curable disease, malaria continues to kill 320 to 350 people daily. She hopes the march will attract the 'eyes of the world' onto Uganda for the 10 days in September, to the fact that around two million people still remain in Internally Displaced Camps because of the war.
Apart from sensitising people about malaria prevention, the Journey For Life hopes to raise $3m (sh4,950b), which is the cost of spraying two districts with DDT. It will also be a statement calling for the immediate return of all internally displaced people to their homes.
"Everybody is invited to take the whole or part of the walk from the source of the Nile to the war-torn North," Kobusingye said.
The KMMN Brigade Walkers and Charity Walkers International from the US will form the core group to be joined by others from around the world.
The walk starts with The Wamala Concert on August 25-26, the Malaria Heroes Dinner on September 19, the Hoima concert, September 25, halfway through the trek and the Gulu gathering of September 30.

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Sophomore guard Alvin Abreu (Lynn, Mass.) scored 19 points and senior guard Tyrece Gibbs (Brockton, Mass.) notched his second career double-double, but the University of New Hampshire men's basketball team was downed by the University of Vermont, 72-56, Sunday afternoon at Patrick Gymnasium.
The Wildcats fall to 7-11 on the season, including 2-4 in America East, while the Catamounts up their record to 14-6 overall and 5-2 in the conference.
|Alvin Abreu
Abreu added three rebounds, an assist and a steal in a season-high 40 minutes, while Gibbs, UNH's America East Player of the Game, tallied 10 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block.
UNH started the game out on the right foot when local product Tyrone Conley (Burlington, Vt.) returned to his hometown and drained a 3-pointer 1:36 into the game to stake his team to a 3-0 lead. After a Colin McIntosh jumper, a Marqus Blakely free throw dissolved UNH's lead – the final one it would hold on the day. Blakely and Abreu would trade a pair at the line before the teams swapped buckets to tie the game at seven with 15:47 remaining.
An Evan Fjeld jumper and Maurice Joseph trey opened up a five-point lead for UVM – a lead it would never give up – but after Mike Trimboli and Gibbs traded layups, the Wildcats received back-to-back baskets from sophomore center Dane DiLiegro (Lexington, Mass.) and Gibbs to cut their deficit to one. An old fashioned three-point play by Fjeld and a Trimboli jumper quickly pushed the lead up to six for Vermont, but a put-back by freshman forward Brian Benson (Rochester, N.Y.) and a 3 from junior guard Colbey Santos (Onset, Mass.) again sliced the lead to one.
The Catamounts responded once more, however, going on a 9-0 run to take a 28-18 lead with 8:14 left in the opening half. The two teams kept trading blows and with Vermont up 39-29 with 2:14 to go, the Catamounts kicked their lead up to 14 with a free throw from Garvey Young and a 3-pointer by Trimboli with 1:07 on the clock. Vermont took a 45-31 lead into the break.
The Catamounts did not let up in the second half, opening with a 9-1 run – capped by a Blakely layup – to grab their largest lead of the game (54-36) just 2:09 in. With the lead still at 22 three and a half minutes later, UNH used an 8-1 run – finished off with an Abreu basket – to slice its deficit to 59-44 midway through the frame. UNH whittled it down to 13 with 3:40 to play, but five straight points from Vermont pushed its lead to 70-52 just one minute later. The teams traded baskets before Abreu closed the scoring with a layup with 50 seconds left.
Conley chipped in with seven points and four assists, while DiLegro added 10 points and four rebounds. Benson recorded two points, nine boards and a block in 24 minutes.
Gibbs finished the day with 1,141 career points and moved past Dave Pemberton (1,136) for 13th place on UNH's all-time scoring list.
Fjeld, Vermont's America East Player of the Game, led four Catamount scorers in double digits with 18 points. Trimboli tallied 15 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Blakely notched 14 points and seven boards and McIntosh added 10 points.
The Wildcats were outshot 47 percent (26-55) to 39 percent (19-49), but again won the battle on the boards, 35-34.
UNH travels to Stony Brook on Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. before returning home Saturday, Jan. 31 to play host to these same Catamounts at noon.
