From Shanghai to Hong Kong

The Hackett family starts at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, stops at Starbucks and boards a flight identified in the video as Air China Eastern. Check-in, immigration, baggage and security take about 45 minutes altogether. They describe the flight as smooth and comfortable, with meals on board. After landing in Hong Kong, they take a straightforward taxi to Disney Explorers Lodge for around 180 Hong Kong dollars, about £18. Mickey Mouse greets them when they arrive.

Disney Explorers Lodge room and facilities

The family tours a spacious room with a South American theme, city views and plenty of storage. Amenities include a mini-fridge, coffee machine, robes and toiletries. Level 8 luggage appears in a product placement. They visit the pool, where insect repellent is available at the entrance, and look at the evening meal choices before eating at the Chart Room Cafe.

Their stay also includes a visit to the Trading Post shop and a stamp hunt around the lodge. The family notes a special entrance for hotel guests going to Hong Kong Disneyland, which can make park access quicker. They are preparing for upcoming days at the park, so the vlog focuses on the travel day and the resort rather than their Disneyland visit itself. The room, pool, dining and hotel activities fill the time between the airport transfer and the park plans.

The airport process is one of the practical details the family records, with check-in, immigration, baggage and security taking roughly 45 minutes. Their taxi ride brings them directly to the lodge, where the room tour shows storage and amenities useful for a family stay. The pool and resort dining are part of their first evening, followed by the Trading Post and stamp hunt. They point out the special hotel entrance to the park while looking ahead to their Disneyland days, which are still upcoming at the end of this vlog.
