DAY 4 TOKYO DISNEYLAND

JAPAN | Friday, 6 November 2009 | Views [595]

Well again awake at 4:00am trying again to sleep as long as I could but had some extra excitment today as I was heading to TOKYO DISNEY LAND!!

When I did awake and finally got ready we went to go get a 250 Yen bento box, it is 2 blocks from our hostel it is recommened best bento box and best price in all of tokyo, it was delicious and great for budget travellers! Now I have to get use to chop sticks! First it was getting use to heated toilet seats (which i now enjoy and would love to have one at home lol)

Back on the Rail to Tokyo station to keiyo line to minushia to get to disneyland we finally made it and I am now starting to get use to the rail system ( i will post a pic it looks like a bunch of coloured lines everywhere frightening at first)

When the train stopped at Disney we where welcomed to the sight of Mickeys Castle which I further learned there is the real one in Germany (may have to go there on a trip to see that to!!)

We bought our day pass for Disney (5800 Yen) which inclused entrance and all the rides/amusment. Another great part of Japan is no one touches hands for any transaction, if you pay by cash you put in a box and pass it to the teller and they put your change back in the box and you take it, or if you pay by credit card they pull out a silver plater tray and put it on there! Great service very clean/hygienic!!

As entering into the gates of Disney they are already for Christmas and a huge tree beautifully decorated greats you! I was told it is bigger then NYC tree (as Josie has seen it) I had to get a picture !!

We started the day by going on the Pirates of the Carabein Ride it was awsome and a great way to start the day, nether-less there was no line and Disney was empty no lines , no waiting!! On the Ride Johnny Deeps Robot looked Life like! There was no photography aloud on this ride :(

After we took a ride on the Jungle cruise it was very fun and funny as the lady only spoke japanesse and she was making every one laugh hysterically on the boat but we couldnt understand :( (hope they where not talking about us!!)

There was sooo many great souveniour shops and great food, I had a pretzel that was filled with cream cheese the best pretzel I have ever had!!

We saw a day parade full of disney charcters, kids with line the street with cute little blankets and sit and enjoy! They also had a spot just for stroller parking!!

The night time Electric Parade  was beautiful it was full of charcters that dazzeled in lights!!

Also watched a 3D show oh Honey I shrunk the Kids but a re-make and the 3D was good that the chairs moved and they had effects that made you feel shivering effects ( as on the movie these mice had got loose into the audience and it felt like they where crawling up your pants ewww , I dont how they do it but technology is great!!)

I did feel that Tokyo Disney was replica of LA from what I remember alot of same rides ( space mountain, toon-town, splash mountain!) and they still had crazy hats shapped like charcters!!

After a long day of Disney and seeing the final fireworks show, we where back off the hostel for another early night to bed!
