In subsequent installments, beside detailing the trials and tribulations, I'll look more at Hong Kong and what Disney presence already exists here. We'll go to the Hong Kong Disneyland Preview Center at the Kowloon Disney Store. I'll detail what the park and its surroundings will be like.

And of course, through the use of way too many pictures, we'll watch together... as a new Disneyland is born.
