Things You Need to Know About the Hong Kong Disneyland Explorer's Club Restaurant Semi-Buffet and "Momentous" Viewing Area Package

As the name suggests, this is not a full buffet service. Instead, you get to choose one entrée while enjoying unlimited servings of appetizers, desserts, and drinks.

You have 1.5 hours to dine, which is more than enough time. The buffet service schedule varies depending on the "Momentous" show schedule.

For the 9:00 PM show, the buffet is available from 6:15 PM to 7:45 PM, though they started accepting guests as early as 6:00 PM.

Booking and Availability

While advance booking is recommended, same-day reservations are also possible. This gives you flexibility in case you change your plans. We made our reservation around 2:00 PM, and it was fine. In fact, the restaurant was not fully booked, even on a Saturday.

Food and Drinks

The entrée options include:

🍽️ Spice-crusted Sea Bass with Tandoori Crushed Potatoes, Coconut Moilee, and Crispy Okra

🍽️ Moroccan Wagyu Beef Burger with Waffle Fries

🍽️ Hainanese Chicken with Rice and Winter Melon Soup

🍽️ Porcini Mushroom Ravioli (Vegetarian option)

The selection of salads, appetizers, pasta and desserts is extensive, featuring international flavors. They also offer shrimp and mussels, which paired well with the spice-crusted sea bass. Some flavors may be unfamiliar, but it’s a great experience for those who enjoy exploring different cuisines.

Drinks are unlimited. They served a raspberry drink (I couldn’t recall the exact name), which I wasn’t a fan of, but there were also other fruit juices available. The coffee machine offered hot beverages, including hot chocolate, which I really enjoyed.

As a pleasant surprise, they also served banana toffee ice cream toward the end. Since we were already full, we brought it with us to the Momentous viewing area.

Service and Atmosphere

Many of the restaurant staff, including the chef, are Filipino. Expect warm hospitality and great service! Feel free to ask them for recommendations—our kababayans were very helpful and friendly.

Is It Worth It?

I would say YES, mainly because of the access to the reserved area for "Momentous," which was our primary reason for getting this package.

The food was decent—nothing mind-blowing—but honestly, food is the last thing on my mind when I’m in Disneyland. That said, I really enjoyed the hot chocolate and desserts, which were delicious and perfect for the cold weather.

The reserved area makes a huge difference. We spent several days in Disneyland and watched the fireworks from both a distance and the reserved area. The difference was clear:

✨ You can see the projections on the water fountain, which are not visible from afar.

🔊 The sound is more immersive, making the experience more engaging.

🔥 You can feel the heat from the fire blasts, adding to the excitement.

So, if your budget allows, I highly recommend adding this package to your visit!
