Wow, it seems you will have a great holiday. I’ll try to assist you. Hope they will be helpful

Day 01
1. Airport-hotel: Take airport Express to Kowloon (about 20 minutes and HKD90), get off and then change to MTR to MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station (about HKD4.5 and 25 minutes), then walk to your hotel. Or you could take free shuttle bus A21 from Kowloon to your hotel
2. Hotel-Hong Kong Science Museum: you can just reach there by foot or take city bus no. 2 at MODY ROAD TSIM SHA TSUI and get off at the museum station. About HKD 4.5 and 5 minutes.
3. For cheap clothes, you may try Ladies’ Market. You could take MTR at MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station to MTR Mong Kok East Station ( about HKD 5 and 15 minutes), then walk to the market.

Day 02:
Hotel- Disneyland: Take MTR at MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station to MTR Disneyland Resort Station, transfers are needed. About HKD20 and 40 minutes.

Day 03
Hotel- peak: you could take MTR to Central, and then take the peak tram to the Peak. MTR travel takes about HKD9 and 15 minutes. The Peak Tram ride is only 8 minutes and HKD9.
The Peak - NGong ping: back to central, take MTR to MTR Tung Chung Station, then cable car to NGONG PING 360.
NGong ping- Hotel: back to Tung Chung to take MTR to your hotel
Hotel – Space Museum: by foot.

2. Any cheap good hostel that offers 1 room for 8 pax? extra bed is okay.
I was given a deal at RIDOR HOSTEL. HKD$650 for 8 pax + 2 extra bed, is
their room enough for us 8 pax? most my cousins are skinny so is it possible

else...
4. In buying tickets such as disneyland do i have to bring ID for the 6-11 years

5. Disneyland: is it possible to bring food inside? and put it in the locker?
as we are on a budget. Do they check bags?
6. PEAK TRAM: is it possible to just get single ride? if so, how do we get to
NGONG PING if wer not going to ride back from the tram? Wer do we
catch our bus or MRT?
7. NGONG PING: Single Ride? how do we get our bus or MTR?
8. BEACH : i wanna go to the beach for a couple of hours.

GUEST8381 Upgraded questions:

a: take S1 airport shuttle bus to Tung Chung. Time: around 15 minutes. Cost: HK$3.5.

Tung Chung to Tsim Sha Tsui by mtr: around 38 minutes in all and HK$15.5.
b: go to exit J of East Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk to Star Ferry Terminal to take ferry to Central. Time: around 15 minutes. Ticket fare: HK$2.5 or HK$3 (at weekends). Then go to the Peak Tram Terminal to use Peak Tram to the Victoria Peak.

c: back to Central MTR Station and pass the underground passage to Hong Kong Station. There you can take Tung Chung Line to Tung Chung. Time: around 36 minutes. Cost: HK$21. Then take cable car at Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal to Ngong Ping.

d: Ngong Ping to Tsim Sha Tsui: take cable car back to Tung Chung and then take Tung Chung Line to Lai King, change Tsuen Wan Line to Tsim Sha Tsui. around 38 minutes in all and HK$15.5.

2. I am not familiar with accommodations in HK.
3. You may go to any division of CITS in HK. The tickets (for example, the Ocean Park) they sell is a bit cheaper.
4. I am not sure. But if you have any proof, you may avoid some problems when you enter the park.
5. Sorry, you can not bring any food in the park. They will check your bags to ensure that you do not bring any food or water.
6. Yes, you can use single Peak Tram and then take No.15 bus back to Central.
7. If you do not want to take the cable car back, you can take No.23 bus back to Tung Chung (near the cable car terminal).
8. take mtr from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central and then go to Central Exchange Square to take 6, 6A, 6X, 66 or 260 to Repulse Bay.

Tsim Sha Tsui to Repulse Bay:
take mtr from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central and then go to Central Exchange Square to take 6, 6A, 6X, 66 or 260 to Repulse Bay.
MTR: around 6 minutes and HK$6.5.
Bus fare:
http://www.nwstbus.com.hk/home/default.aspx?intLangID=2

Please refer to this page.

Repulse Bay to Ocean Park: take a taxi (more than HK$20) or just ride 6a/6x/260 (around 15 minutes).

Ocean Park to the Peak: take No. 629 bus from the Ocean Park to Admiralty (HK$10.5) and then take Island Line (MTR) to Central. Walk to the Peak Tram Terminal to take Peak Tram to the Peak.

The peak to Miranda Mansion: take No.15 bus or peak tram back to Central and then take star ferry back to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk to your hotel.

I suggest you spend much more time as you can in Disneyland. Do not waste your time before you go there.

GUESTAMY YEO Hello, Hope someone can help me with this question. I will be going to Hong Kong on 6th Sept 2011, and on arrival we will be transfer to our Hollywood Hotel and check in at 3pm. After that we wish to visit Ngong Ping 360 since we are quite near to this place but I know Ngong Ping 360 closed at 6pm. My question is whether 3hrs is enough to cover mtr travel time from Disneyland mtr to Sunny Bay mtr and to Tung Chung mrt , to cable ride plus walking around the village and also sightseeing the big buddha and taking the cable back inclusive of all queueing time.

How much time should I allot to Ngong Ping 360. Planning the itinerary and would like to cover HK as much as I can.

Thank You

GUESTAMY
Thanks for the prompt information, How much time should I allot myself to Ngong Ping 360.
My first time to Hong Kong.

Also after visiting Ocean Park , can my family have dinner at the famous Jumbo Kingdom? I read Aberdeen is also a must visit place when in Hong Kong. Is this floating restaurant near walking distance from Ocean Park? Also roughly how much does the dinner cost per person at this Jumbo?

Thanks for any info you can give. On free and easy with family.
