What kind of perks does the Disneyland Resort in Hong Kong offer guests?

I'm planning to go to Hong Kong Disneyland in Winter 2010 and wanted to stay in the Disneyland Resort. I understand the pricing structure and that the hotel is rated five stars but beyond that I can't seem to find some key information on the services that the hotel offers. I've never stayed in a nice hotel before, let alone a hotel that calls itself a "resort", so I'm new to all this. The website mentions Spa treatments, a pool, a Mickey Maze, and other goodies. Are these things included in the price of staying in the resort or do they cost extra? Also, do resort guests get early access to the Disneyland park? And is a day pass included in the cost of the room or does it cost extra? Finally, has anyone stayed in the resort? I realize that I could spend considerably less in a hotel off the island but it's all part of the vacation experience and it's probably the only time in my life I'll do this sort of thing.

1. I live 15 minuits away from disneyland so i have been there a lot and ive been to both the hotels also out of the two hotels/resorts there the disneyland resort is nicer and more peacful than the hollywood hotel which is quite hectic! the spa looks very good but i havent had a chance to try it and the pool has a waterslide and there is a jacuzzi next to it and there is also an indoor pool which is next to the gym and you can also go on a run around the grounds if you want some excercise and the mickey maze is pretty fun, it hasnt completly grown so that you cant see above it though!! along with that there are some good restaurants, i think theres a nice poolside one and one that stands out the most is one where you can eat with the disney characters! the spa isnt included in the price however the pool and maze is and there is a shop where you can buy souvenirs but you will find much more of these in the park also whats good is that you can walk over to have a look at the other hotel theyre not very far away from each other i dont think there is early access to the disneyland park but there is a shuttle bus service and i dont think that the day pass is included with the room. but its a very nice resort :) (in my opinion) the best rides and attractions in disneyland are: -space mountain -buzz lightyear astro blasters -autopia -stitch encounter (make sure you go to the english one they have mandarin and cantonese versions) -the winnie the pooh ride -mickey's philarmagic -its a small world -mad hatter's tea cups -tarzan's treehouse (you need to catch a 'raft' there) -jungle cruise (it is run in three different languages and you may think that the english queue is the shortest but they all take the same amount of time because the cantonese and mandarin boats are more frequent!) and there are some really nice restaurants in the park also they are planning to expand the park and add a new area im guessing that it will be frontier land (wild west) but i dont think it will be finished for at least another 5 years but ive never actually been to another disneyland so i cant compare it with any others also, if youre planning to look around the rest of hong kong, disneyland is quite far away but you can take a bus, mtr (underground tube/train) or taxis which are more expensive. the shopping is pretty good in hong kong and there are some nice places to visit! and there is another theme park called ocean park with more thrilling rides it has two roller coasters and quite a few thrill rides! its also based around animals but it gets quite crowded because of tourists! and yeah disneyland does get crowded also but you can get fast passes for certain rides/attractions which shorten your queuing time! hope this helps and have a nice trip :)
