Hello everyone 
I'm just on my way back from a solo trip to Hong Kong and Shanghai. Once I'm home in the next few days, I'll post a full report on my adventures but for now here's a bit about me and my trip in general.
About Me
My name is Sarah and I'm 38 from Greater Manchester in the UK. I'm single and don't have any friends who like Disney parks quite as much as me, hence why I'm travelling solo. This is my second solo Disney trip, after travelling to LA and Anaheim in March this year.
I love rides, I love films and like many my life growing up seemed to revolve around Disney films. I go to Disney mostly for the rides, but also for the general theming and atmosphere. Oh and the food and drink too as I'm a bit of a foodie. I'll admit that I'm not usually one for the parades, meeting characters etc unless I happen to be in the right place at the right time. And I'm not one for posing for photos either as it makes me a bit uncomfortable, so the best I can do is some rubbish selfies - like the one below of me in front of ToT on my last WDW trip:
About my trip
This trip was a split trip between Hong Kong and Shanghai. I flew direct from Manchester, UK to Hong Kong for 4 nights, staying at Disney's Hollywood Hotel. My plan was to spend 2 full days in HKDL and then the 2 other days sightseeing
After this, I flew to Shanghai to spend 4 nights at the Disneyland Toy Story Hotel. The intention was to spend 2 full days at the park, 1 full day sightseeing then the final day before my flight at the park again, however this didn't quite go to plan! (More on that later).
I'm writing this from Shanghai airport, where I'm shortly due to catch my first flight into Dubai, where I'll then get a connecting flight back into Manchester. A total of just over 20 hours travelling...
Watch this space and I'll post full updates on my trip very soon when I get back.
