Such a magical experience you all have created for us especially with the new Adventurers Suite!
The journey was started with a surprised phone call. The phone check-in was smooth and Cast Member did a great job by not only introducing room facilities but also provide several dining suggestions for us. The call demonstrated her professionalism in her knowledges of the hotel.
The arrival experience was truly one of a kind. The Land Rover Defender used for picking up guests from MTR station to Disney Explorer Lodge is exotic. It quickly immersed guests into the adventure of unknown. I was specially touched by the greetings of several Cast Members who put on the Mickey Gloves. It has been such a long time since my last visit to Disney Explorer Lodge due to pandemic. This warm welcome really made myself feel like home. My journey continued with a quick introduction of surrounding elements and escort to the suite. A special shout out to Front Desk Cast Members who introduced the background story of the Adverturers Suite not only by their words, but also by their acts. Greatly appreciated on their attention to details and their designed dialogs to leave several mysteries for us. A special thanks to F&B & Housekeeping team on their welcome snacks and towel cakes!
The room decorations were truly amazing. Entering the room, you would feel like you have entered a basecamp at the centre of Amazon Rainforest but not an ordinary guest-room. I especially like the backstory of the room that could put guests into the room for Mickey & Minnie Mouse, who happened to gone out for another adventure. The first thing that caught my eyes was the huge Mickey & Minnie's suitcase with their belongings and life-sized shoes. The room was also full of their personal collections gathered around the world such as the Jungle River Cruise boat model as well as Maui's magical fish hook. It took us hours to try to photograph all these little hidden tributes to Disney movies and parks. The in-room treasure hunt is fun and yet challenging but the reward of the hunt was worthwhile. The most impressive decoration was the UV effects on the ceiling and the wall since they are truly out-of-expected. I loved all these elements in the room which are suitable for guests of all ages. The interior designs had great impacts on compensating the outdoor view of the room although it is not a great sea view room. The room was spacious and the soundproof of the room was exceptional even it is located right above lobby. In-room entertainments were ample and suitable for larger group especially with Nintendo Switch.
The room also offered us Snack Platter by the pool with cabana reserved with great portion and super chill environment.
We moved to World Of Color for dinner at night, although I would recommend the hotel could provide a tailored in-room dining menu to let guests could enjoy the time at room, especially with the wooden big dinner table! On the other hand, the breakfast did a great job by directly delivering into the room. I personally think it even better than the Kingdom Club lounge in Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel as direct-to-room breakfast took good use of the room facilities.
Finally, please allow me to thank you again for all of your efforts to make my journey completed. The direct line given enable us to have direct access to Cast Members as our personal guide during our “adventure”. Extremely grateful to all Cast Members who assisted our departure and resolved some of our remaining mysteries regarding the room decoration and treasure hunt. The check out process was speedy and we soon boarding the Land Rover Defender without worrying our luggages to begin our next journey...
Understood that Disney Characters were limited during this period of time but I do hope Mickey & Minnie Mouse could come by when situation goes normal.
I hope I could be with you shortly and see you real soon.
