Tokyo Disneyland

Of course we went to Disney. What would you expect?

On Saturday we stopped at the information booth in the terminal at the port and asked an information lady how to get to Disney. She gave us great information. Then early Sunday we got off the ship and went to the taxi stand. There she was! This was the same lady that gave us the information while wearing her red information desk jacket. On Sunday as she ran over to see us, she took off her jacket to show us what she was wearing just for us. Yes, Daisy Duck. And a huge smile. She then ran over to the taxi driver and told him in Japanese where we wanted to go. It was smooth as silk for us. And fun.

This is the entrance. Notice the crowds! This is still Golden Week in Japan. Because it was also the coronation of the new Emperor, Golden Week was extended to 10 days. Almost everyone was off work for 10 days. And the day we went to Disney was designated as Children’s Day in the country. Much like Mother’s Day in the states except for kids. So of course everyone went to Disney. Of well.

Main Street in Tokyo Disneyland is a complete covered area. They don’t have quite as good weather year round as Florida. So this is the first real look at the castle. And it was worth the trip.

Of course Disney has great landscaping and topiaries. Love the dragon.

This season was Spring something or other. So the celebrations included eggs. Lots of eggs. Kids had eggs decorated at animals with legs and feet. Some had ears like a bunny. Others like Mickey. And the flower beds has lots of eggs.

We did ride rides. Yes, Lisa, we rode that one too.

It’s a Small World. We also rode Jungle Cruise, Philharmagic, and a few others. Then we went shopping. That was somewhat disappointing. Especially as compared to Disney Hong Kong. But I have two shirts and Kathy has a funky shirt. She can spread her wings and almost fly. Well, maybe that is an exaggeration.

We shared a Mickey Mouse hamburger for lunch and later in the afternoon we each had a box of popcorn. We had fun and were tired. So I didn’t get to work on a blog.
