Even before the Hong Kong Disney theme park was officially opened with great
fanfare on Tuesday, media coverage of the Magic Kingdom was already hot on the
mainland.

It was only natural to expect domestic media coverage of its formal opening
to be even more frenzied.
It was. But this time, the media's focus seemed misplaced. They did cover the
grand opening ceremony heavily and forecast its economic implications for Hong
Kong, but their focus this time around was on our fellow countrymen's behaviour
on their maiden trip to this fun land, the third outside its homeland, America.
As many as 16,000 people, one-third of them from the mainland, flocked to the
fun-filled fantasyland on its debut day.

Media reports said
mainland visitors disregarded the theme park's rules and behaved improperly in
the park, triggering a nationwide debate on manners and etiquette, a discussion
that is still raging in the media.
