This post would be the most magical one !!! I have made it my life goal / bucket list to accomplish every Disneyland in the world and currently am half way through accomplishing this wish.
En route to Disneyland station and arrival !
Disneyland is of walking distance from the train station so there isn't exactly a need to ride on the Disney Line! Or if you would like to experience the Disney decorated train, Disney Line is also an option to get there. On the way to Disneyland, there is a pretty huge Disney store where you can get almost all the merchandise available in Disneyland itself ! So if you aren't planning to visit the parks you can check this store out for some sovenirs ! The entire place outside Disneyland is also clustered with many restaurants worth to check out !
Sibling shot while walking to Disneyland ! All in disney themed tops ! Got our tickets at the regular ticketing counter. Took up the two day pass as we wanted to check out Disney Sea as well. (That will be in my Day 3 post).
Photo featuring the grandpa's half bald head hehehe. Went for our first ride as a family - Star Tours (I think). Honestly thought it was slightly nauseous and that it was a bad ride to start off. Especially with my grandma who went there more of to just accompany us ! Should have made her take the more easy going rides first than that
Headed over to our next ride - StarJets
This is the crowd awaiting the parade hours before the parade timing! Cousin told me this is a norm in Japan as most of them visit Disneyland for the parade and they all do this for a good spot :>
Starjets might look pretty childish but it is still pretty thrilling !!! Went over to get our fast passes for big thunder mountain because the queue for it runs up to an hour +. Guide to Disneyland is make use of all the fast pass chances you get! Got a free pass for some shooting game but the timing is really odd so didn;t end up going for it!
Stopped by the Sleeping Beauty Castle ! And of course it is photo time !!!!
Had grabbed fast passes for Space Mountain as well !! So proud of the little bros for riding this as well !!!
Got ourselves some food ! This Lilo and Stitch Mochi was actually really good !!! Was slightly pricey I think , around 1000 yen but comes with the Stitch Lunch Box thing ! The fillings were fruit flavoured if I am not wrong !! But it was suuuuper yummy
The cousins got themselves the Mickey shaped Ice creams . Both were fruit flavoured.
Past lunch time so the cousins got a turkey leg to share ! The queue is actually pretty long ;; the truck is located near Big Thunder Mountain and the queue never ends
Parents were waiting for us at some Pizza dining place near the Star Wars area and got me some Pizza tasting wrap - it was alright I guess. And !!! They also got me the Three eyed alien version of mochi ! They had initially already bought one box but they had finished it when i got there so they got another hehehe. These were in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavours and really good too !!
Another dining place which has pretty cute food too ;; the closest festival to the June period was actually easter so Disneyland was still decked out in the Disney theme
Got my grandfather a spring roll to eat as he doesnt really enjoy western food and he basically ate chinese food throughout our whole trip ;; (The number one supporter of the chinese diner below our airbnb)
He was so hungry he got seconds of the spring roll
Headed for the parade while my little brothers stayed for some mini roller coaster behind the spring roll truck.
Felt like it was some idol event because the amount of zoom in lens and DSLRs were just overwhelming. First time actually noticing such a crazy culture for the parades.
This pastry thing smelt really good when we walked past it but tbh it tasted pretty crap. It was kind of dry and not exactly as good as how it smells.
Bro got a Micky shaped ice cream which he never offered me so I have no idea how it tastes. (Bitter? Yes)
Have I mentioned my favourite Disney show as a kid would have to be Beauty and the Beast. I really like snow white as well but I just love the plot of Beauty of the Beast and I loved to dress up as Belle. I had wanted to get this Beauty and the Beast tee but at the same time, realistically I would not really wear it so gave it a pass.
Came across the Milk chocolate flavoured popcorn ! Had seen on some disney blogs talking about the various special flavours that Tokyo disneyland offers. All the flavours and where you can locate them are in the Disneyland map !! Didnt actually find out about this until I had gone to Disney Sea.
Got my little brother a frozen mango as he was tagging along with me around and decided to give him a little treat since it was so hot.
Best ice cream in tokyo goes to Disneyland !!! It is around 300-400 yen but the ice cream is so good !!! Really milky and so yummy. Got the mickey shaped churros from the same store. It was with some cinammon filling which I thought wasnt as great as if the churros were to be plain with sugar.
Finally found the Curry popcorn and it was delicious !!! Really good and unique flavour
Was close to night so we got a Honey Chicken Leg to share and it was good ! Better than turkey leg imo.
Went to try out their arcade games because we came back with an amazing loot from California Adventure Park the previous time and thought it would be as easy in Tokyo. But it was a really tough game ;; But we still see people winning so it is all about the luck and skill !!!
The fireworks were cancelled so we missed out on that and went back;; Went for some of the ramen and gyoza below our airbnb and it was actually not bad !!! Didnt really like the texture of the noodle but the soup was so damn delicious and flavourful.
