Disney flies from Tokyo to Hong Kong as the city prepares for its theme park expansion announcement

Disney flew from Tokyo Haneda International Airport to Hong Kong International Airport on June 10, 2026, aboard the Gulfstream G650ER tail N650WW, a 4-hour 15-minute hop across the East China Sea. The aircraft, operated by The Walt Disney Company, touched down in Hong Kong just after 1:39 p.m. local time.

The same week, per a South China Morning Post report on June 9, Disney is expected to announce a major expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, including new themed lands and attractions, as part of a broader push to revive tourism in the region. The trip follows a pattern of executive travel to the park, which has been a recurring destination in Disney's flight logs, including a stop in Tokyo earlier this week—home to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.

Recent flights show the company's Gulfstream has been shuttling between Burbank, Orlando, and international parks, with a stop in Bergen, Norway, and Keflavik, Iceland, earlier this month. The Hong Kong visit, coming just days after the Tokyo leg, suggests a coordinated review of Disney's Asia-Pacific theme park strategy, with the expansion announcement serving as the likely catalyst for the trip.
