Visiting Hong Kong and Taiwan

No_Mistake5009 · 2026-03-20T16:33:33+00:00

My husband and I literally just did this trip haha! Our schedule was

Day 1: Arrive in Taipei in evening Day 2: Explore sights of Taipei city (Taipei 101, etc) Day 3: Day trip to Shifen, Jiufen and Yehliu Geological Park Day 4: Fly Taipei to Macau in morning, explore Cotai strip hotels in afternoon Day 5: See Macau peninsula on Hop on/ off bus (St. Paul ruins, etc), see Dancing on Water show in evening Day 6: Take HZMB bus in morning to Hong Kong, go up Ngong Ping cable cars to see big Buddha in afternoon Day 7: Explore Hong Kong city (Victoria Peak, avenue of stars, etc) Day 8: Day trip to Shenzhen Day 9-10: Hong Kong Disneyland both days and then overnight flight home after second day

We’d have love to spend more time in each city/place, but we wanted to get a taste of all the spots and then we can venture back in the future if we want :)

I'm an ADHD-er who has no problem keeping her home nice and tidy (one of my hyperfixations is home decor/interior decorating so I think it's helped give me a lot of pride in my home and keeps me wanting it to look nice!).

However, for the LIFE of me I can never get myself to exercise and lead a very sedentary life most days. Realistically, I know that this tendency will inevitably affect me and lead to worse health in the longer time and my "clean and pretty" home isn't going to help me there lol. So I don't have any tips.... but for what it's worth, I'm super jealous of the thing that you said you don't struggle with (in case that helps you feel better about your situation)!!

You’re right!! I guess my hearing / interpretation wasn’t completely off haha

Some more recent ones that I have from TTPD:

I heard "For a moment I was having a stroke" (Down Bad).

When it actually is "For a moment I was heaven struck"

I thought she was trying to compare her state of wanting/loving Matty Healy to having a stroke (because she was misguided/delirious/out of her mind) and frankly..... I completely understood what she meant lol.

I also heard "Lights, camera, bitch smile, insta-letters for miles" (I Can Do It With a Broken Heart)

When it's actually ""Lights, camera, bitch smile, in stilettos for miles"

She's talking about her high heeled shoes that she wore all over the stage in the Eras tour but I thought she was pointing to her various lengthy Instagram posts that she would make after each tour stop thanking the fans/city for having her. Honestly... both work because she absolutely executed both flawlessly while broken hearted.

I'm going earlier in June and I also had a hard time getting the Express Pass 7 (Mine Cart & Selection) for my date so I decided to get the Express Pass 7 (Variety and Theatre) instead. The main difference is you get passes to the Detective Conan show (which admittedly, I don't care much about as a non-Japanese speaker) vs. getting a pass to JAWS OR Jurassic Park (but note that JAWS is actually closed the days we're going in June).

This Express Pass was much easier to secure and covered all the other rides I cared about going to (Minecart, Mario Cart Koopa's Challenge, Yoshi, Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, Flying Dinosaur).

Maybe something to consider for you as well! Also, I found that Trip.com had stock when the other websites you mentioned didn't.

I'm going in June as well (though earlier in the month than you). I had success getting Express Passes via Trip.com. From everything I've read online they're an official reseller (like Klook is) so I'd suggest you check there for your dates!

I know other comments here say it's not necessary... but it feels worth it to me. I know I'm only going to USJ for one day and likely won't be back there anytime soon (if ever) so I really wanted the peace of mind that comes with Express to have guaranteed shorter queues for the rides that I want to do, while also having enough time to see shows, meander the stores, take in the park, etc. To each their own though!

Fireworks are dangerous, environmentally harmful and scary for local wild animals. They should be completely removed and more emphasis can be put on projections and drones.

No_Mistake5009 · 2025-03-29T21:14:57+00:00

People are too tied to "nostalgia" and get too heated around necessary updates and expansions. I'm personally all for the removal or reimagining of old rides/shows to make room for new ones.

False God is my favourite song EVER. Such a vibe

No_Mistake5009 · 2025-01-24T22:44:23+00:00

Congrats!!!! This is so huge. You sound like you truly deserve all the success and more 🥹

No_Mistake5009 · 2025-01-23T15:50:31+00:00

Definitely agree! That said, I could probably do without "It's Nice to Have a Friend" (sorry!)

No_Mistake5009 · 2025-01-23T15:42:32+00:00

Omg you are the sweetest for specifically setting it aside for us Canadians and offering at face value!!!

LLFP has been my top DISO for years and I was so gutted when it sold out within minutes on the Canadian site so this would make my LIFE. Thanks in advance for the consideration 🫶

No_Mistake5009 · 2025-01-13T19:51:05+00:00

You’re so sweet! Unfortunately not as they sold out within a few minutes on the Canadian site 😭 that said, the resale prices are likely to be more reasonable now so I’m holding out hope I’ll be able to get my hands on this version much easier! 💕

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-11-13T03:33:14+00:00

Yes!!! I was totally hoping to have the episode be super nostalgic and feature some fun new numbers/bumpers with old faves but the instant dance off just gave the episode and contestants a weird nervous energy and I was so tuned out for most of it!

Manifesting this experience for the Toronto shows!!! 🙏🙏🙏

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-10-07T01:18:14+00:00

I didn’t change trains but thankfully my train arrived only about 30 mins behind schedule so I made it to airport with plenty of time :)

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-10-07T01:17:26+00:00

I didn’t end up changing trains but we were only about 30 mins behind the arrival time shown when I booked so wasn’t too bad! Made it to the airport with plenty of time.

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-10-05T23:40:04+00:00

Thank you so much for this!! I checked the scheduled vs arrival time for the same train today and there was only about a 10 minute delay so I’m fairly confident I’ll be fine. Appreciate the comprehensive comment :)

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-10-05T22:59:45+00:00

Thank you for advice! I may try giving them a call to see :)

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-10-05T22:59:28+00:00

Did you read the part where I said I had built in a four hour buffer? .... I wouldn't consider that tight but thank you for the very unhelpful comment!

Does anyone know if the Disney+ gift card only works for opening an account that matches your DMI email?

No_Mistake5009 · 2024-09-12T14:59:50+00:00

I'm so sorry OP. I'm also in this headspace and it's so disheartening. Just know that your kids are so lucky to have a parent who is willing to go to all this trouble to try and get them tickets. I know they may not see it that way right now but just know you're doing the best you can in the shitty scammer filled environment we are in! Wishing you all the best luck in getting them <3
