Hong Kong Disneyland as a meetings venue? Why not – it has many unique meeting facilities, from the grand Cinderella Ballroom or the Snow White Ballroom, which opens up to a manicured garden, any one of the many themed restaurants, or even in the park itself.
There is 1,500 sq m of flexible event space and 16 meeting rooms, 876 sq m pillar free ballroom space, pre-event area for registration, full audio and visual support, including lighting, projection and sound systems, dedicated entrance for meeting guests and a group check in service, a business centre with internet access, secretarial service and private office space and personal service from the park staff.
Packages and group discounts are available, starting at a half day meeting package for HK$480.00 plus 10 per cent service charge per person which includes: complimentary use of meeting room for the period agreed upon at the time of confirmation, one refreshment break with Disney touches in the morning or afternoon, lunch in Chinese or Western style, coffee, tea, water and Disney candies throughout the meeting, complimentary stationery for each delegate and an LCD projector with screen, white board, flip chart and markers.
After a meeting, delegates can bond in the park, and look out for the popular parade style attractions such as High School Musical, visit the futuristic Tomorrowland, meet Disney characters in Fantasyland, or explore Adventureland on a jungle cruise. Another option is to hold a themed event in the park. Adventureland can host 2,200 guests at Theatre in the Wild, on the River of Adventure. (Delegates can even be entertained by Tarzan and Simba!) Tomorrowland and Fantasyland are also good venues in which to host parties.
Restaurant buyouts are also possible. The Starliner Diner, with 800 seats, is the largest restaurant in Hong Kong Disneyland. The Royal Banquet Hall is a grand Gothic 720 seat restaurant, 340 of which are inside, 320 are outside under colourful tournament tents, with 60 exterior seats on a patio overlooking the castle moat. The Tahitian Terrace Restaurant has a South Seas tropical theme and can seat 245 guests. The River View Café overlooking the Rivers of Adventure has a colonial East African theme and seats 186 people.
If Hong Kong Disneyland doesn’t float your boat, there is always the quieter Ocean Park on the southern side of Hong Kong Island. Based on marine and edutainment themes, it has set itself the vision to be the world’s best marine theme park, and also houses Hong Kong’s famous pandas. It offers roller coasters, large aquariums, an atoll reef with 250 different types of tropical fish and a cable car offering spectacular views.
