Disneyland Fireworks



Simply spectacular... and what a way to cap a night and a trip for that matter. Hong Kong Disneyland's Fireworks show is probably the best integration of a Castle into a an amazing fireworks display. Happening everyday at about 9 pm, Disneyland HK wanted to prove that they have the best fireworks display among all Disney Theme Parks. Well, I should agree, I mean China is the fireworks capital of the world.




Fireworks and pyrotechnics are co-ordinated to orchestrated classic Disney music and tunes that most our kids (and us) remember by heart like A Whole New World, When You Wish Upon A Star, Circle of Life and others. For about twenty minutes, all activities in the park stopped and everyone just find their place in front of the castle or elsewhere in the park and just marvel and watch the fire works display.




With this I end my Hong Kong series. I went to Hong Kong on a very tight work itinerary and really wasn't expecting to explore much. The smog condition affected most of my shots do I deemed it proper not to share them at this time. Plus, the non-stop raining prevented me from further walking-my-way around the City.




Nevertheless, It was still a fun trip mostly because of Disneyland. I know I am too old for that stuff but hey, changes are sometimes good. I never been to any Disneyland Park before so I grabbed this opportunity to see Mickey and the Gang up-close lol. Although I must admit, I still prefer the natural beauty of nature and would not mind getting my feet all wet and muddy just to capture its essence.




Thank you Hong Kong for the great time. With so many Filipinos working there, you could easily feel at home!!! Until the next trip...

39 took the journey:

Hi, What I found interesting about your shots (aside from the gr8 exposure and framing) is that you managed to avoid the bobbing heads of the crowd that usually flock to that event. From your shot, you would have to be on a tree in mainstreet (he he) or managed to get the prime spot on the rotunda. Great work =)

Linked your site so I can return frequently, appreciate the X-link =)

Wow the fireworks are so beautiful and amazing. Your post remind me of Michael Jackson's hair burned by explosives. Now I think the next time I better wear a cap while watching fireworks.

Jenn said...

Makes me want to hop on a plane and go there right now. Exquisite shots!

Thanks too for your kind words. :-)

Unfortunately, we missed the fireworks when we went to Disneyland HK. We went home early.:(

LOL. this is what takes up soooo much space in my camera, I remember doing some 200 shots for the fireworks. LOL. now i've learned my lesson to select which to shoot. Nice shots!

Wow.. I just looked back over all of your HK Disney photos and they're wonderful. You have certainly captured the colour, action and magic of such a place. Great posts!
