What you need to know about Disney Explorers Lodge
The Disney Explorers Lodge is one of the three hotels located in Hong Kong Disneyland—the other two being Disney's Hollywood Hotel and Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. With 750 rooms, Disney Explorers Lodge has the most among the three hotels.
We got to stay at a Standard Room, which came with two queen-sized beds, a bathroom, a work desk, and a view of one of the many gardens. Rates for the Standard Room start at HKD2,210 or around P16,625.
The Standard Room has a huge window on one side, so the natural light complements the exploration-themed space. Mickey and Minnie also make an appearance above the headboards. The TV in the room has all the Disney content on deck—from Marvel superhero movies to Star Wars blockbusters to animated Pixar films.
What's notable about the spacious room is that the bathroom sink is located outside the main bathroom—separated from the shower and the toilet. If you're checked in with your family or with a group, that means you can be more efficient when you're getting ready in the morning or settling down for the night. One can be in the shower while the other could be brushing their teeth at the sink.
In addition to the layout, the room amenities at Disney Explorers Lodge are also family-friendly. The hotel room slippers and bath robes come in small, medium, and large sizes so they perfectly each member of the family.
If you need a pick-me-up before you spend the whole day at the park, the mini bar has got you covered. It includes a coffee machine with pods that'll make it easier to make a cup of joe. There's also a water dispenser with options for cold and hot water.
What to do
There are multiple themed gardens and one large outdoor pool at the Disneyland Explorers Lodge. You can chill under the shade of the red umbrellas at the pool that's surrounded by rock formations.
Among the gardens that surround the hotel, you'll want to visit Kevin Garden, which has self-serve pedal go-karts for kids. They can ride around the small track that's been set up under the trees.
If you want to get a headstart on your souvenir shopping—or if you realize you need more before going home—you can drop by the Trading Post right by the entrance of the lobby. They have a selection of Disney merch you can buy for yourself or for your friends.
It also goes without saying that you can enjoy the rides and attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland, which is just 1.5 kilometers away and one shuttle bus away from Disney Explorers Lodge. You just have to make your way to the entrance and you'll find the pick-up and drop-off point that'll take you to a fun-filled day.

At the edge of the lobby, you'll find the Chart Room Cafe, where you can sip on a cup of coffee and take a bite from light meals while enjoying the view of the pool and gardens.
