The Disneyland Resort Line (traditional Chinese: 迪士尼綫; simplified Chinese: 迪士尼线; pinyin: Díshìní xiàn; Cantonese Yale: dik6 si6 nei4 sin3) 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, and also the world's first driverless heavy transit line. 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 themepark 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 served nearly 40,000 passengers and peak patronage occurred around 0800-1000 and 2100-2300 hours.

[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. Bronze statues of well-known Disney characters are included inside of the trains, such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

The handrails resemble Mickey Mouse.

The platforms of the Disneyland Resort station shows conspicuous Victorian features.
