Yesterday, I took a half day from work and we went to Hong Kong Disneyland for the afternoon/evening. It's a rather small park by US-standards, very easily doable in half a day. We started out with a stroll down Main Street USA into Tomorrowland, made a brief foray into Fantasyland (all that pink was hard on the eyes!), then reveled in Toy Story Land, before a brief, but haunting trip into Mystic Point, a stop at the mine in Grizzly Gulch, and a lazy cruise in Adventureland.
For the most part, each of these sections had one main attraction, and a few smaller rides in some of them, so we didn't spend much time in each. Despite the hordes of visitors, we rarely spent more than 40 minutes in queue for a given ride and most moved quite quickly!
The attention to detail in all areas of the park (but especially Toy Story land!) is exactly what you expect from Disney - every experience has been meticulously engineered down to the garbage cans. Highlights included: Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster (I beat Tom almost 2 points to one), It's A Small World, RC Coaster (a pirate ship style ride that Tom was proud he didn't throw up on), Mystic Manor (a rejiggering of the Haunted Mansion, so great!), Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Carts, and the Jungle River Cruise. And of course the nightly fireworks show, Disney in the Stars, was pretty spectacular.
