Hong Kong Disneyland initially estimated that the number of visitors in the first year was 5.6 million, but the actual number of visitors in the first year was 5 million. In the second year, the flow of people dropped to about 4 million. Faced with this dilemma, Hong Kong's tourism industry, which is closely related to Disney, put forward three suggestions to the park: introducing half-day tickets and halving the fees; Allocate half-price tickets to the tourism industry and encourage the promotion of Disney Group; Increase the water facilities in Lake Di Xin and implement the expansion as soon as possible to make up for the small area of the park.
