HK Disneyland

Lizzie, Ingrid, Naty and I played hookie from work and spent our Friday at Hong Kong Disneyland and had a blast. Ing is not at the age yet where she appreciates the Disney experience, in fact she's actually quite terrified by most of it. A year meeting the public in various Asian countries has made Ingrid the most extroverted and sociable little gal you've ever met. She's been picked up and loved on by hundreds of people from all ethno, eco, econo, geo variety. But she remains deathly terrified of anything or anyone that is not in conventional human form -- Santa Claus, Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear -- anything in costume that she can't identify brings sheer terror. And Disneyland in HK is a bit more intense than our Stateside version.....the blowgun-toting native attack and the exploding volcano of the Adventureland Jungle Ride had her scared out of her skin, poor thing. Redemption came via "It's a Small World" which was a HUGE hit with her....she danced and waived at all the peaceful little characters. More pictures to follow.
