The happiest place on earth
Disneyland Tokyo
28.11.2011
Yesterday we went to the happiest place on earth aka Disneyland here in Tokyo. Now like most people I grew up on Disney not only the movies but the Saturday afternoon tv show and when I caught sight of that iconic castle I confess I got a bit of a thrill. Disneyland is beautiful all of the settings and rides are incredibly detailed, however they are pretty tame which was good for scaredy cat me and bad for thrill seeker savannah. Additionally, you have to line up for a minimum of half hour for a 30 sec ride and so by the end of the day this wears a bit thin. Highlights of the day was people watching, the Japanese people look great - incredible fashion sense and they really embraced Disneyland buying all the ears, capes and hats and wearing them. Savannah bought a Cheshire cat cape and I bought a stitch ( from LILO and stitch) for Rhett. Another highlight were the parades and shows, they were colorful and fun and we didn't understand a word they were saying! We also discovered some great snacks - pretzels with sweet cream filling which was divine, prawn and egg spring rolls, pizza spring rolls and chocolate pastry thingys!
We were pretty shattered by 7 and our feet were killing us so we picked up a couple of little souvenirs, caught the train back and walked to our hotel where savannah immediately crashed was going to go downstairs and upload some photos but was too tired so will try and do it tonight!
