One of the best things about Hong Kong Disneyland is its size. It's relatively small, so being able to experience everything in a short amount of time is doable, especially with kids. While it has many identical things to its American counterparts, like Sleeping Beauty Castle, one attraction that stands out among the rest is Mystic Manor, which is a take on the Haunted Mansion with a completely different storyline.
