Hong Kong Disneyland (Chinese: 香港迪士尼樂園) (abbreviated HKDL;[1] also known as HK Disneyland) is a theme park located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It was the second Disneyland in Asia to open, after Tokyo Disneyland, with Shanghai Disneyland opening in 2016.[2] Hong Kong Disneyland is located inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and is owned jointly by Hong Kong International Theme Parks (52%) and the Walt Disney Company (48%). It is the most visited theme park in Hong Kong, followed by Ocean Park Hong Kong.[3] Hong Kong Disneyland opened to visitors on Monday, September 12, 2005, at 13:00 HKT. Disney attempted to avoid problems of cultural backlash by incorporating Chinese culture, customs, and traditions when designing and building the resort, including adherence to the rules of feng shui. Notably, a bend was put in a walkway near the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort entrance so good qi energy would not flow into the South China Sea.[4]
The park consists of eight themed areas: Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, Toy Story Land, and World of Frozen. The newest themed area — World of Frozen, opened on 20 November 2023.[5] There are single tickets and annual passes, called Magic Access, that are available for tourists who visit Hong Kong Disneyland.[6] The theme park's cast members speak Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. Printed guide maps were printed in traditional and simplified Chinese as well as English. Guide maps are now available on the Hong Kong Disneyland mobile app as well as the ability to reserve park visits and other related information for park visits.[7]
The park has a daily capacity of 34,000 visitors[8] — the lowest of all Disneyland parks. The park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below its target of 5.6 million. Visitor numbers fell 20% in the second year to 4 million,[9] inciting criticisms from local legislators.[10] However, the park attendance jumped by 8% in the third year, attracting a total of 4.5 million visitors in 2007. In 2009, the park attendance again increased by 2% to 4.8 million visitors. The attendance continued to surge and received 5.23 million guests in the 2009/2010 fiscal year. Since the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, the theme park has hosted over 100 million guests.[11] Hong Kong Disneyland currently occupies 27.5 hectares (68 acres)[12] and hosts 6–7 million visitors annually, with 6.4 million guests in 2023 making it the 17th-most visited theme park in the world.[13] The park capacity will increase to handle up to 10 million visitors annually over a 15-year expansion period.[when?][14] The park first turned an annual net profit of HK$109 million (US$13.97 million) for the year ended 29 September 2012.[15][16] However, it has operated at an increasing loss in 2015, 2016 and 2017.[17]
