La décoration est au top, bel effort de la part du resort.

Mais en revanche, que fait ce poteaux en plein milieux? ça enlève toute crédibilité dans ce hangar.

Franchement belle déco, c'est ce qui manque à la saison de Californie de vraie props dans la file de Hyperspace Mountain qui n'a que le pré-show de changé. Si ils pouvaient mettre le X-Wing quelque-part où au moins les tenues de pilote ça serait déjà un grand plus.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Standard Chartered Bank open a new chapter for its corporate alliance

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Standard Chartered Bank today celebrate its 10-year relationship and together announce the renewal of the long-standing alliance in an officiating ceremony held at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Standard Chartered Bank will continue to be the official bank sponsor of the resort, and the renewal opens a new chapter for the alliance, enhancing the clients’ privileges not only in Hong Kong but also in six other markets across Standard Chartered’s footprint in Asia.

Standard Chartered Bank and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort have had a long-standing relationship. Since the theme park’s opening in 2005, Standard Chartered Bank has been providing premier banking services for Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, including corporate banking services, payroll services and ATM service. The close relationship between the two parties has also enabled Standard Chartered Bank to launch the highly popular “My Dream Account” promotions to encourage saving habits among young adults and families with kids from a young age.

Committed to expanding the alliance in Asian markets

“We are thrilled to strengthen our corporate alliance with Hong Kong Disneyland,” said Benjamin Hung, Regional Chief Executive Officer, Greater China and North Asia of Standard Chartered Bank. “With this alliance, we will expand our collaboration not only in Hong Kong, but also in six other Asian markets, including Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam, giving us the right to leverage Hong Kong Disneyland’s intellectual properties in selected banking products and services promotions, as well as allowing our banking clients and credit card holders to enjoy special promotional offers at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.  We hope to bring the successful experience to these Asian markets, and to bring guests from different countries in the region on Disney’s magical journey. This multi-market strategic alliance is a first step to deepen and broaden our relationship with The Walt Disney Company. We are looking forward to exploring opportunities to further expand this win-win relationship in the future.”

With the opening of “Star Wars™: Tomorrowland Takeover” in Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Standard Chartered  Priority Banking clients will be able to enjoy priority access to Star Wars: Command Post  where they will be able to greet Star Wars heroes by making online reservations or registering on-site at Space Traders in Tomorrowland. Standard Chartered credit cardholders can also enjoy 25% off upon purchase of four park tickets starting from mid-July to mid-September. The bank will continue working with Hong Kong Disneyland Resort to provide special park offers to clients from local and regional markets.

“We’re pleased to work with Standard Chartered Bank to offer millions of guests the convenience of the banking services alongside the unique and immersive experiences at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort,” said Samuel Lau, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. We are proud to continue our relationship today, and jointly grow our business in local and regional markets in the coming years.”  

New experiences promise more magic ahead

From June 11, “Star Wars: Tomorrowland Takeover” will introduce a series of unique Star Wars experiences including Hyperspace Mountain, Star Wars: Command Post and the upcoming Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple.

Halloween at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort this fall promises guests a different side of Disney. Villains from the classic Disney stories will use their dark magic to create a one-of-a-kind nighttime spectacular, creating a nefarious celebration designed to appeal to young adults.  

The much-anticipated “Iron Man Experience”, due to open in late 2016 in Tomorrowland’s new Marvel-themed area, will take guests soaring into the Hong Kong sky with Iron Man in the first Marvel ride-through attraction at a Disney park. Guests can attend Stark Expo and sit in the Iron-Wing to battle the invading Hydra forces. They can also suit up and become Iron Man in the interactive “Become Iron Man” experience, and also meet Iron Man in person in an immersive story-driven character greeting.

The all-new resort hotel, Disney Explorers Lodge, will open in 2017 with 750 rooms and four themed gardens of different cultures, letting guests explore and immerse themselves in an exotic world.

Honh Kong Disneyland Resort - 10 juin 2016.

Ils sont trés fort niveau décors pour leur différentes saisons ,c'est toujours du haut niveau . Leur décor avec le X Wing n'aurait pas à rougir dans une scène de notre Tram tour sauf que chez eux ,c'est temporaire pour décorer la saison .

Mais qu'est-ce que tu en sais de ce qu'on aura pour l'update du STT ? Faut un peu arrêter
Et niveau déo, nos saisons de Noël Halloween et du printemps n'ont rien de cheap jusqu'à preuve du contraire. Et on a quand même de loin jusqu'ici la meilleure version de la Jedi Academy côté décors.
Cette façon de toujours tout comparer lorsqu'il n'y a rien à comparer c'est fatigant.

De 1 ,je n'ai pas dit que nos décos de saisons étaient Cheap ,de 2 permet moi de te rappeler pour l'update de Tram tour qu'on rigole un peu !!! Et de 3 puisque tu parles de ça ,moi ,je n'ai en rien comparé leur "Jedï Academy a la notre mais bon ,passons.... Leur "Jedï Academy " fait partie d'une offre temporaire dans un lieu non adapté pour ,la ,ou chez nous ,c'est dans un espace existant en dur avec toute les infrastructures pour alors oui ,encore heureux que ça soit un poil plus ambitieux !!!

Eh bien oui, parlons en de l'update de STT, puisque c'est à ça que tu faisais référence. Quelles infos fiables tu as dessus ? Aucune, zéro, nada. Ni moi, ni toi ne savons ce qu'il nous réserve, si ce sera bien ou nul, donc ta réflexion était bien gratuite - comme dans 80% de tes interventions - puisque basée sur du vent.
Pour le reste, je me ravis de ce takeover de leur Tomorrowland, mais il faut rappeler que leur parc, dont la fréquentation, déjà bien maigre, est en train de s'effondrer, en a vraiment besoin pour sauver sa saison d'été alors que Iron Man n'ouvrira pas avant la fin de l'année.
ça remet un peu les choses en perspective ?

Le parc fait face à une période plutôt calme en ce moment, la direction du resort lance dès lors une nouvelle action à l'attention des résidents hongkongais avec un forfait nommé "Star Wars Group Adventures Ticket Package" pour groupes de trois ou quatre visiteurs. Ces forfaits procurent jusqu'au 15 juillet prochain une réduction de 19 et 25 % par rapport au prix du billet d'entrée individuel.

Une campagne d'affichage centrée sur la saison estivale "Star Wars™ : Tomorrowland Takeover"  a également débuté en ville.

Shanghai Disneyland vient d'ouvrir ? Profitons-en pour visiter Hong Kong Disneyland !

Shorter lines, more fun: Hong Kong Disneyland still draws fans as doors open at Shanghai counterpart

Visitors cite compact layout, smaller crowds and good rides as advantages over other Disney theme parks worldwide

Main Street and the signature space in front of the castle at Hong Kong Disneyland were deserted on Thursday morning – not due to a lack of visitors, but because of unwelcome downpours.

Compared to the rainy debut of its Shanghai counterpart, which saw hundreds of visitors queuing up five hours ahead of the 10.30am official opening, the city’s park did not fare badly.

When the Post visited the Lantau attraction on Thursday morning, the wait for a ticket was about 15 minutes.

Demi Zheng, 23, a first-time visitor from the mainland, said: “We won’t go to Shanghai in the future because there are too many people. The size of Hong Kong’s Disneyland isn’t a problem.”

Native Hongkonger and die-hard fan Wan Lee-chi, 77, who has visited Hong Kong Disneyland with his wife “at least 30 times a year since it opened”, said he preferred the city’s park over other such attractions around the world.

“I’ve been to Disneyland in Japan and the United States, but Hong Kong is better because it’s more concentrated. That means my wife and I can get around it in a day,” he said.

Wan has not been to Shanghai Disneyland, but said he believed the local theme park had not lost its competitive edge.

“People from the Guangdong region will visit Hong Kong Disneyland, and the long queues in Shanghai aren’t good for old people,” he said.

Fellow visitor Michelle Young, 39, who was there with her three children, was originally from Florida but currently resides in Japan.

Young said: “We go to [Disney World in Florida] all the time, but the Disneyland in Hong Kong is cleaner, less crowded, and the rides are actually more fun.”

Young said she would definitely be back, even though this was already her third visit.

She also expressed a strong interest in visiting Shanghai’s Disneyland, though the long queue times worried her. Young said she felt the new park would not be a problem for Hong Kong as “people who love Disneyland would go to all Disneys”.

Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Greg So Kam-leung played down head-on competition between the two Disneylands, saying they were different in terms of positioning and features.

He said the theme park in Hong Kong catered more to international travellers whereas the one in Shanghai targeted mainland visitors.

So added that the government and Hong Kong Disneyland were in discussions for further expansion, while new features such as Marvel and Iron Man themed areas would be rolled out later this year.

The luxurious 750-room Disney Explorers Lodge, the theme park’s third hotel, is set to receive guests from early next year.

So said the government would beef up promotion of Hong Kong as a top destination for Southeast Asian travellers and activities.

He added that the Wine and Dine festival scheduled in autumn would be 40 per cent bigger than last year’s, and the city would host sports activities such as the Cyclothon in September and the Formula E race in October to attract tourists.
