Sometimes the creation of
a new Disney park can take
a very long time. The first
discussions for a park in Hong
Kong actually began in the
1990s. The project was formally
announced in November 1999
and the park officially opened
to public on September 12,
2005.
Penny’s Bay on Lantau Island
was selected as the future site
of Hong Kong Disneyland as it
would provide a stunning backdrop for the park and had a good transportation
infrastructure for guests.
Land reclamation was begun
to create the future home of
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
consists of one Hong Kong
Disneyland theme park and
three hotels (Hong Kong
Disneyland Hotel, Disney
Explorers Lodge and Disney’s
Hollywood Hotel).The total
area of the Resort is 1.3 square
km (310 acres or 126 hectares).
