An Early Christmas Brought to you by Hong Kong Disneyland

Three sections of SM Megamall were highlighted by Hong Kong Disneyland decorations and features. The Event Center held 3 shows last Nov 9 and 4 shows on Nov 10 and 11, featuring a dance number from Hong Kong Disneyland performers, presentation of the different theme lands and new attractions inside Hong Kong Disneyland.

At the Mega Atrium Hall, kids got to have a chance to do their coloring sheets or have their pictures taken with figurines of Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Donald and Daisy Duck. A 30-foot tall Christmas tree towers the Mega Atrium Hall, adorned with Mickey and Minnie plush toys that will be donated to an orphanage at the end of the display period. Toy Story Land Photo corner greets SM Megamall guests in Building B, wherein they can have their pictures with Woody and Jessie plus the green army men.

A Luncheon by the HK Tourism Board

Yesterday I was invited to a luncheon sponsored by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. It was held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. At first I had second thoughts on going because since it's a luncheon I know that there will be tons of food that will be served and I'm on a diet (boooo!) but I'm glad I went because I saw my classmate from kinder Thesa (Molino) who is the Marketing Manager of HK Disneyland office here in Manila.

It took a while before the program started and there were a whole bunch of people that were waiting outside the ballroom, so while I was standing with some of the media people who were there, I just took a photo of this fake tree.

Finally when we were ushered inside the ballroom, the program started immediately with some dragon dancers.

Here's a list of food that we ate. It was a lot but the good thing about it was that it was served in portions and I was able to control myself to not get seconds.

Of course, a Chinese meal is not complete without Buchi.

Too bad I didn't win the raffle for an all expense paid trip for two to Hong Kong. I've never been there but someday...
