A magical experience

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Jul 2024
I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at Disney’s Explorers Lodge. The room was quite spacious by Hong Kong standards. There are regular shuttles to the park. And HK Disneyland has its own MTR station.

The resort offers a room service menu. Which is rare for Disney hotels. The food was always delivered on-time and delicious. I also tried the quick service and Chinese restaurant Dragon Wind. Everything was good. I found service at Explorers Lodge to be very efficient in general.

For longtime Disney fans the resort’s design will feel familiar. Combining elements of Aulani and Animal Kingdom Lodge, as well as local Asian influences, to create a pleasant environment to wander around in. Beautiful gardens and extensive outdoor spaces add to the sense of adventure. I look forward to coming back to this resort.

At first appearance the hotel seems satisfactory, but now after having experienced it for two days the sad reality is a poor example of the hospitality, service, and staff Disney properties are known.

The main resort is a stripped down, mid-level variant of the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Really generic version and more like a moderate level hotel at Disney World in Orlando. No charter and built to the minimum standards to appear like something it clearly is not.

Rooms are decent but the mattresses are single tops with no box spring. The result is like sleeping on a futon. They provide the bare minimum of towels and wash clothes (2) each for a room with three guests.

The staff appear to be nothing but walking robots that have no personality, provide minimal help with questions, and provide a cold, off putting feeling to the guest experience.

The pool staff are useless and rude if English is your main language. Especially rude was a larger blonde haired Asian attendant, who was nothing more than a sour, rude, off putting human who belongs nowhere that involves customer contact. She is the personification of a horrible service worker. If you stay here and see her, avoid her at all costs.

Unfortunately, if you want to experience Disneyland Hong Kong there are minimal choices for Disney Lodging. The other options should really be investigated further before you chose this property.

Rooms were super spacious and clean . The only downside is there is no bath tub and toilet is a bit small but everything is clean.
However , my friend who used to stay at the hotel received toothbrush in a Mickey mouse tin box as part of her toiletries but when I enquired I was informed that it needs to be purchased?

WiFi is strong and the view we had from the small nook is beautiful which overlooked the bay.

The swimming pool also feels natural as though we were by the sea side .

There is a play room for the kids to entertain themselves and activities planned out on different timings so the kids will always be entertained !

The hotel itself is big hence there are plenty of spaces to explore . It felt like an African themed resort. Which I preferred compared to the other 2 Disney Hotels .

We had dinner at World of Color Restaurant . The halal meals were however limited and it was SUPER EXPENSIVE and me coming from Singapore , felt the pricing was super ridiculous . A bowl of laksa cost us 35SGD.

There is a free shuttle to Disneyland which is a plus .

On a side note .My daughter only got a happy birthday badge for her birthday stay . Kind of disappointed that a big brand like Disney doesn't give much on birthdays .

Hope to come back because overall we had a nice time at the hotel. !

The room are huge and descent they provide baby bed .

Room tip: During rainy days and planning to visit Disneyland they can let you borrow umbrellas.

First time to stay in a Disney Hotel and my kids’ first time to visit a Disney Park. We’re very excited with high expectations. Explorer’s Lodge did not disappoint. The hotel’s facade and the lobby looks great with the adventure theme. We also met Donald Duck on our checkin day. The staff are very cheery and welcoming. We were allowed early checkin so we can already rest and late checkout to have more time swimming. There’s a gift shop in the hotel. We enjoyed our stay in the room. Comfy beds, Disney movies. Only negative feedback is, we didn’t have toiletries. We didn’t know and we weren’t informed (possible I just didn’t understand the front desk) about the plastic policy. Love that there is water dispenser. Used it for drinking and for coffee/tea. Location and shuttle buses made it very convenient for going to/from Disney Park. Still far though if we want to take a short rest. Disney is far from the city if we wanted to buy more affordable meals outside. It would be nice if there are bidets in the toilets. Since there are notes in the room about the towels, they can inform us about the missing toiletries and about the water dispenser (I learned about it in FB group about HKDL). Also would be convenient if there’s direct connection from airport to Disney train. Need to take the train and pass by Disney station and go back.

Room tip: Bring toiletries, bring reusable water bottle that can be placed in fridge or carry outside
