Hong Kong Disneyland: How to Go from Mongkok, by Train
Planning to go to Hong Kong Disneyland by train, from Mongkok?
It’s simple!
Here are some tips!
There are 2 options:
– go by the ‘top route’
– go by the ‘bottom route’ (where you’d pass Tsim Sha Tsui station)
We decided to go by the ‘top route’ (There are less stops, and from googling around, we found out how the train trip should take around 30-40 mins)
Now.
One thing you’d need to know first: HK Disneyland opens at 10.30am!
And if I were you, I’d MAXIMISE my time at Hong Kong Disneyland, by making sure I’m there when the gate opens, haha.
Which btw, was what we did!
We arrived at Mongkok MTR station by around 9.50am.
The train route:
1. From MONGKOK station, head towards TSUEN WAN station (dark orange line)
2. Get off at LAI KING station, go to opposite platform to the train heading towards TUNG CHUNG – DISNEYLAND RESORT station (light orange line)
3. Get off at SUNNY BAY station, and cross over to DISNEYLAND RESORT station (pink line)
And that was it!

Mickey Mouse trains!!
This was the view as we headed towards the Disneyland Resort station!
As expected, EVERYONE was soooo excited, haha!
It took us 30 mins to get from Mongkok station to Disneyland Resort Station!
…
If you want to be on the ‘safe’ side, go on the top route and allow 45 mins. But seriously, you’d reach HK Disneyland in much less time than that!
Oh btw.
We bought the Octopus card for everyone (the ‘normal’ Octopus card, not the HK Tourist Octopus Card, because we knew we would take a taxi towards the airport, NOT the express train)
INFO on Octopus Card:
– Octopus Cards do NOT expire
– If no top-ups are done within 1000 days, the card is deactivated
– You’d then need to go to any MTR Customer Service Centre to have it activated for FREE

Added thoughts:
Everything is so much more costly in Hong Kong. Train rides, taxis, food, drinks, everything. Perhaps it’s because we earn Indonesian Rupiahs!
If you wish to save a bit, bring along your water bottles and snacks for the kids. Because if you plan to spend ONE WHOLE DAY inside the park, you’d obviously have to get your lunch and dinner inside the park. Quite a few eating places and food/drinks carts around.
…
Anyway, HAVE LOADS OF FUN at the park.
We sure had a blast!!
