We visited Hong Kong on our way through from the UK to New Zealand, we struggled to find reasonably priced nice accommodation in Hong Kong that would accommodated 4 in the end we spent 5 nights at Disney's Hollywood Hotel. If you purchase a Annual pass for a fraction more than a 1 day ticket you get a discount on your accommodation, I think the weekdays I got 35% and 20% on the Saturday night. The annual pass I got had black outs but because I checked for our trip they didn't apply to us.
The hotel was great and they had random visits from some of the characters which was great as we didn't do a character meal.
Getting into Hong Kong was easy from the Hotel and pain free (our kids were 3 and 17 months) The trains are easy to use and reliable.
We really enjoyed the open top bus tour of Hong Kong totally touristy but enjoyable.
Disneyland is small as others have said. And some of the things they list on their map as attractions are debatable but we had a lot of fun.
We spent 1 and a half days the first day we did a few rides with the kids and then had something to eat while waiting for the parade, which we really enjoyed. We didn't stay for the fireworks, but did watch them from our room one night (we were upgraded to park view because it was my birthday I think) But because we were out and about in Hong Kong most nights we missed them. The park didn't open until 10.00 although you could get through the turnstills into the main park and mainstreet before that you go stopped at a rope to the rest of the park.
Space Mountain is the only thrill ride but it is fun. And we really enjoyed the Jungle Cruise in my opinion the best out of the three parks I have visited.
We had the star pass and used all the things except for the Golden Mickey Show we didn't think the kids would sit through another show, which was a shame as everyone says it is great nevermind maybe another time.
We probably didn't need the star pass but it got us front row seats in the Lion King show.
We have two blondie boys and the Chinese loved them. I lost count of the amount of photos that were taken of them. I think that because they were blonde, boys and two of them they were quite a novelty. Most people asked but others did not. It doesn't worry me but if you don't like your children touched and photographed you might not like it.

Random Games they play around the park playing for stickers. They also hand out stickers with frequency we have so many, in the end I wasn't letting the kids put them on their tshirts if it was one we didn't have.

I also don't think you need to get a
travel agent involved with tours Hong Kong is very easy to get around and most people speak English which helps also.
