Tokyo Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I want a japanese child!)











heeeeeaaadache!!!! The tiredness has so kicked in, I apologise for any rubbish I might be writing. Today we went to.......drum roll......Disneyland!!!!!!! It was fantastic! Arriving at the gates we were bombarded with happy music and saw Donald Duck, Daisy, and Eeyore (I don't even know if that's spelt right...)! Unfortunately I was too much of a wimp to push my way to Donald...I touched him though!! (yay!) We then went on to the first ride - the thunder mountain one...One thing about the rides we noticed, was that they were longer than normal rides we have in the UK and also not quite as wild and adrenaline pumping. But that was kind of good...because you could enjoy it more. The queues took aaaages though! It was mental! We thought "HA! go on a school day and we'll have the park to ourselves!" but nooooo, all the flipping school kids came that day (in their uniforms!), creating a massive wait for every ride. Another thing we noticed was that japanese children are sooo cute! (Well I knew that one actually..but going to a place where they are literally crawling all over the place...it just emphasises it more). There were quite a few examples where I just wanted to take one and run off with it. Obviously I did not...I shall have to think of a cunning plan to get myself one of those...but I want to give it back when it loses cute status...teenagers are NOT cute whatever nationality.

I loved the fact that everybody dressed up. It was as if before entering the actual disney part, everyone did a detour through the shops and bought all the attire they would require throughout the day. Men and women of all ages were walking around wearing these amazing mickey hats, hair bands, 'ear' hair clips (men too), or even "tails". Some actually dressed up from top to bottom. several hunky Japanese fellows dressed up like jack sparrow....hmmmmmm. Of course the kids were all dressed as princesses, pinocchio etc. One little boy wore a Donald duck outfit which was amazing!!!

During the electric parade it was great to hear some of the characters speak Japanese. There was a lot of stuff in American and all the characters that were people, were Americans, which was odd for us, but probably more appealing for the Japanese person.

The experience was certainly very magical, and I recommend anyone coming to Tokyo to go to Disneyland, its a great day out!
