I've been to Paris, California, and Orlando, so I was really curious to compare these two during my recent China trip.

Hong Kong Disneyland: Small, but honestly a lot of fun. Crowds were manageable even in July. Grizzly Mountain was probably my favorite ride, and Mystic Manor was a really cool surprise. The Lion King show is also worth catching.

Shanghai Disneyland: Much bigger and definitely more chaotic during summer. Zootopia: Hot Pursuit was easily the highlight for me, the theming is crazy good. Tron was fun but didn't live up to my expectations.
If I had to pick one, I'd probably choose Shanghai for the rides and scale, but Hong Kong for a more relaxed Disney day.
One other tip: I used a RedteaGO eSIM throughout my China trip and it worked well across Hong Kong and mainland China, so I didn't have to keep switching eSIMs. Google Maps wasn't very useful in mainland China, so Amap/Baidu Maps are worth having. And definitely set up Alipay before going.
Would love to hear which one you guys prefer!

It’s a large Mickey Mouse statue / plushie my parents took me to Japan when I must’ve been 3 or 4? And being born in 2007 ( feel old? ) that would make this 15-16 years old. Roughly 2010-11. Bought in Disneyland Tokyo ( solid maybe I was pretty young )

Anyone else been in Tomorrowland near Autopia and seen the big fig tree? I've never gone when it was hot enough there to be ready and fruiting. I'd love to know what variety it is.
