This is the complete route map of the Disneyland Resort Line. Note that interchange stations are not denoted.

The Disneyland Resort Line (迪士尼綫) is an MTR line connecting Yam O to the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. It is the MTR's seventh line, and the world's first metro line designed to service a Disney theme park. There are only two stations on this line, Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort. Sunny Bay station is an interchange station with the Tung Chung Line between Tsing Yi and Tung Chung stations.

The rail link was completed in April of 2005. In preparation for the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland Theme Park on 12 September, the line started working on 1 August 2005. The rolling stock is distinctive (see also below) on account of its Mickey Mouse windows interior couch seating and Disneyland figurines displayed in the carriages.

On 4 September 2005, Disneyland Resort Line had served nearly 40,000 of passengers, which make a peak at 8~10 and 21~23.

[edit] Train design

The Disneyland Resort Line is 3.5 kilometres long, and has a travel time of three and a half minutes. The MTR designed a new driverless train and produced it by refitting existing M-Trains for the line which is designed with a Disney theme in mind. Statues of well-known Disney characters are included inside of the trains, such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

[edit] Stations

Disneyland Resort station is designed in a Victorian style. On the other hand, Sunny Bay station is designed in a futuristic style. Passengers travelling along this line will have a feeling of time-travel.
