You are excited for your planned Hong Kong Disneyland visit with the family, but are unsure how to get there. To ensure no delays and a hassle-free transport to “The happiest place on earth”, “Where dreams come alive, and magic finds your heart”, start with this quick Hong Kong Disneyland transport checklist. This would help avoid stress, especially if you’re traveling with kids or adults over 60.
1. Know the Hong Kong Disneyland location
Hong Kong Disneyland is NOT in the city center—it is on the northeast tip of Lantau Island. It is about 20-25 kilometers away from Central Hong Kong or Kowloon. Moreover, the park is a part of the Penny’s Bay resort that also includes hotels, dining, and shopping.

2. Ready your navigation app
Ensure you are connected to the internet and have installed a maps app. Even with all the signs and train station labels, seeing that blue dot indicating your exact location and easily navigating between stops, stations, and transfers could make or break the mood of your scheduled tour.

Check your MTR transfers before the day of your visit. Hong Kong’s MTR is world-class, with 10 heavy rail lines that cover all major districts. It is certainly a good initiative to learn your line and stations in advance to reach the park.
4. Use the MTR system
Hong Kong MTR is efficient, clean, and very tourist-friendly. Make sure you have your Octopus cards ready. You can loan and load from the airport and MTR stations or get your preloaded tourist Octopus card via Klook. There are allocated cards for minors and adults over 60 – use appropriately for discounted rates.

5. Expect train transfers
You’ll likely switch lines. Be mentally prepared (especially with kids!) I remember walking for some 10-12 minutes, transferring from one station to another, walking through several escalators and walkalators.
6. Bring the strollers
From your hotel, during transport, and while exploring the Disney Park, a good stroller that will make the kids comfortable will also make the long walk manageable. Renting one at Disney Park costs HK$150 plus a HK$100 deposit.

7. Enjoy the Disney train
Yes, there is a Disney Train! The ride itself already feels magical—however, it was very fast haha! Nonetheless, enjoy the ride and take lots of photos from here on out.
8. Allow buffer time
Avoid stress, rushing, and meltdowns by giving extra time for navigation. If you are traveling with adults over 60 and kids, consider their pace, wait times, and transfers when estimating your arrival time at the park. Unless you have early park access, Hong Kong Disneyland opens at 10:30 AM.
9. Prioritize smooth travel
Less confusion equates to a better mood for the whole family, especially for the kids who easily get tired. Choose the easiest, most convenient transport and do not forget your essentials: wet wipes, diapers, water bottles, and snacks.
10. Double-check directions before leaving
A quick review can save you from delays and wrong turns. Always make sure you are in the correct station and getting on the right train. If unsure, do not hesitate to ask questions from MTR’s customer service desk.

How to Go to Hong Kong Disneyland
The easiest way to reach Hong Kong Disneyland is via the MTR (subway). From your location, go to the nearest MTR station and take the direction to take the Tung Chung Line (Orange Line) to Sunny Bay Station. From there, switch to the Disneyland Resort Line (Pink Line).
For convenience, you can also take a taxi, which will drop you off at the park’s entrance. You can also take the Route R8 or cross-border buses.
