Quite true also But the unlimited ride pass seems a tad too expensive... Getting a normal $150 Octupus card seems more economical unless intend to pay HK$50 to keep it as sourvenior.takuyazzz said:got the octopus tourist pass mah, unlimited rides...2 stops away only, abt 15mins ride each way...don't think i'll be able to stay at disney from 10am all the way to 8pm...so came up with this arrangement, which was suggested by someone earlier in the thread..die die must catch the fireworks..

I was wondering, nobody in the forum asked about WIFI access in Hong Kong. Right now Singapore have its own FREE islandwide WiFi access (at least around town areas, all mac donalds).
Does HK also have similar FREE WIFI? If yes, where is the most widespread place that offer free WIFI?
Anywhere that show which hotel have FREE wifi/broadband facilities? Certain countries they have hotel offering FREE WIFI for guest, but it seems a rare sign in HK and Singapore.

HK$220 for 3 days, $50 of which is refundable..airport express line ticket is already around hk$80..
so i think a lot depends on whether u'll be taking the AEL..
