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??
