Tokyo Disneyland

D and I decided to visit Disneyland last minute in Tokyo. I thought we would give it a miss this time because we had been before, but we decided to go because we always have such fun and the weather forecast was clear for a nice day.
We headed in after lunch around 2ish and there was ZERO crowds. So bizarre.

So as soon as we arrived it started raining. A lot. Even though every media outlet said it was 0% of rain that day at the skies were clear. That is my luck. It has rained the last THREE times I've been to Disneyland. Weird huh?

Anyway,

Sucks to be Peter Pan because he had to fight off the pirates in his poncho.
I'm glad they had a Time Out before starting their sword fight to get weather appropriate.

Tigger joined in the pirade. He is very fluro isn't he?
Look at ol Pooh Bear in the corner down there.

We went on mandatory Teacup ride.
YAY!
I got Mickey ears btw. And I bought a big black hoodie because it was a lot colder than I anticipated.

I take the Teacups ultra seriously because it is my mission to make D spew.

We got some chips to try and get our energy levels up. It's one of the only vegetarian snacks at the park that is not 99% sugar. The kids love sugar don't they? Disneyland knows it. Everything is sugar x 100000.
But thats not important,
What is going on here?
Where is the rest of my chips?
Why do they only fill it up HALF WAY?
McDonalds in Japan does the same thing.
Cant they see I'm a greedy overfed westerner here?
I need my fat intake for the day.
How dare they.

Here is a little video I took in the Winnie the Pooh ride.
I didn't have the camera up to my face so it's a bit all over the place but you get the general idea.
It does have sound, so for those of you who are being sneaky at work, put our computer on MUTE.
YAY!


Cute yeah? If you watched it with no sound, try and watch it again later with sound so you can hear the cute Japanese narrative.

Here is some snack we had. It was sweet potato in a stick form type of donut thing.
We had a chocolate flavour one too but it was way too chocolatey and had to go.

Thank you D for being my hand model on that shot. Nice work.

Below we have a Disney Duck that just wanders around looking cute and begging for food.
Everyone walks around with popcorn tubs at Disneyland and you fill them with different flavours in the different lands. So I think that duck man here wants popcorn.
You can get honey, curry, soy sauce, salt etc. Lots of different flavours.

Here we have the infamous
"It's a small world" ride. It is great. I LOVE IT.
You are allowed to take photos. It is probably the only ride that allows them in Disneyland.
Anyway,
First off
YOU ARE ON A BOAT. What's not to love?
Secondly,
It has this marvelous chlorine smell. Mmmm.
Everyone loves the smell of chlorine. If you say you don't, you are probably lying to yourself.
It's a pretty marvelous smell.



Here are the lovely kids of the world.
They do look like they want to stab you in the face.
How can this not creep children out?!



I think all the kids of the world have the same face and just different hair to determine their nationality/race.
What clever cost cutting Disney. It looks like the boys and girls even have the same face. hahaha


Here is a video. Once again, it has sound, so if you are at work, hit the MUTE button again.
But if you get a chance to watch again, do, its funny because its the song in other languages.
The whole thing is crazy.
CRAZY CHUCKY DOLLS



The crowd at Disneyland was basically non-existant.
The longest we waited all day for a ride was 7 minutes and that was for Winnie the Pooh.
The were no lines. It was weird but amazing.
We got to go on rides several times.
We would just come out the exit and go straight back to the start of the line on the other side.
SOOO GOOD!
My favourite rides at Tokyo Disneyland were:

Haunted House
Pirates of the Carribean
Winnie the Pooh

Then for dinner we had this lovely pasta. It was very nice for Disneyland food.
Very unexpected.

We headed home before the park closed because the fireworks were cancelled due to the rain.
In between 2.30 and 9 we would of gone on at least 10 rides and had lunch and dinner and did shopping and snacks and rests etc
That must be some sort of Disneyland record.

The princess castle makes me very excited.
I am not a girly girl. I dunno why. Maybe all the child hood memories of watching Disney films and how much I loved them?


My favourite Disney film as a kid was probably Roger Rabbit or Aladdin.
I did love Little Mermaid as well.
Too many to pick just one!!!


What was your favourite Disney movies??

My bday at Disneyland

Yooooooo!
I am in such a lazy mood today. Having such a shiiiiittttt day. CBF etc etc
I thought i'd blog to lift my mood. it better work. ZZzzzZZzzz Maybe i need chocolate? YES~!~!!~~! that will lift my mood and energy!! two birds. one stone.
okay back to the story,
I had my bday in Paris and when i got out of the shower i walked into my newly decorated room. Thanks D !! he's so crazy. hahah
i must admit i had a feeling. i could hear weird blowing sounds coming from the room.
i must of been in the shower for ages for him to do all this. i washed my hair.
i love that the happy birthday sign is in french. LOVE. i kept it.
Do you like my rexona can on the bedside table? It adds a certain something to the photo yes?

And then the door bell went and a cake arrived with a candle! what a suprise!!
It was a chocolate cake with that gold shiz that people go nuts for. i dunno what its called. it tastes like nothing to me. i dont get the hype apart from the prettiness.
I was channeling Rachel Zoe in a white bath robe. I didn't enjoy it. it was heavy and annoying. i dont get why she lives in them.
I like to iron all my clothes each morning. please note the ironing board.

My parents sent me these flowers. ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA. well not really. but u get what i mean. The bunch was HUGE. It was awesome. I was very suprised.

Two of my dearest friends gave me presents before i left for paris so i could have something to open on my bday. YAY they are the best. it was really touching to think around all the xmas madness they had thought of me. i love them dearly.

Disney Couture bracelet sitting on top of Missoni towels. My friends know me so well. YAY LOVE the presents. yayayayayayya.

What a coincidence i opened my Disney present on the same day I'm going to Disneyland.
YAY.
Here I am in the Alice in Wonderland Maze.
I had a lot of stupid photos from the day but this one is hillarious. So unflattering but everytime i look at it i laugh. ANUS MOUTH. AHHHAHA funny. but it really does look like an anus doesn't it? D will be cringing as he reads this.
hahahah sorrrryyyy honey..
I was trying to pull a spookey pose in the spookey maze. hahah it didn't work.

This coat i bought from Topshop is super cute. Well when worn without 6 layers underneath. It's like an oversize tulip jacket. I can't wait to wear it again in Melbourne.

My favourite rides at Disneyland are It's a Small World and The Haunted Manor.
YAYAYAYAY
HAUUNNNTTEEDDDDD
woooooo

And here is Main Street at night. awee princeesss castttlleeyyyy.

It rained hardcore. we watched the parade from the Walt restaurant on main street. it was awesome.
The fireworks were cancelled because of the rain, which usually would devastate me because i love fireworks like a 6 year old. That night, i was kind of happy. I was soooo cold and wet and sicky.
Xmas tree goodness
WOOOO


Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
and long weekend for some!
I have some fun plans for the weekend. I will detox all next week.
maybe.
