DisneySea

We spent our second day at DisneySea.  It is a Disney park that is specific to Tokyo, and in hind site we kind of wish we would have had an entire day to see this incredibly interesting park.  It is all themed around water and explores 7 different parts of the world.  Our favorite was the American Waterfront.  I'm not sure if just gave us a glimpse of back home which is so familiar and comfortable, or if that area just had a lot of really cool things to explore!  Either way, the architecture was incredible and the hospitality and kindness of the Japanese people were a pleasure.

Entering the park!

 

Adi LOVED the mermaid lagoon area.

 

She was very excited to see Chip!

I'm doing another post with pictures of the park!  We got caught in the typhoon on the way home on the bullet train, and again had a chance to talk to some Japanese girls through our translators (we were delayed a total of two hours on the train).  We gave the girls two of our seats, and they were so generous and appreciative they gave both Marilyn and I a gift!  They really are a very kind and helpful culture!

Tokyo Disney Electric Parade

I have to admit, I was so excited to see the light parade.  I really wanted Adi to see it too.  So, we made sure both kids had naps, and we were able to push both of them until 9:30 that evening!  As a kid, I remember my parents always liking the light parade, and I never really found it near as exciting as all the rides we were missing!  As an adult I see the appeal!  It really is so impressive and magical.  Adi and Abe both really enjoyed it too!  I only wish I had a picture of those sweet little faces enjoying the beautifully lit float!

Disney Tokyo - Tokyo & The Park

Here are some pictures of Tokyo and the park.  It was fun seeing it all decorated for Halloween.

Disney Tokyo (Picture HEAVY)

Today we were lucky enough to get to go to Tokyo Disney with Grammy and the kids!  Brandon has worked really hard to plan special weekends for us while we are visiting this very cool country.  We love him and appreciate his hard work so much!  The park was a lot like Disney Land with a few special rides that were specific to Tokyo.  The wait for the Winnie the Pooh ride was unfortunately WAY to long for a 3 year old!!  It was a fun-filled day with a lot to see.


We stayed at Hilton on site which was REALLY NICE!  The Disney train to and from our hotel was decorated so cute!

 

Grammy promised Adi she would get her a balloon when we got there - she was very excited about the balloon!

 

Adi loved Minnie's house, but was a little confused about why she was not in it!

 

Abe spent a lot of time in the Ergo!

 

Small World was a refreshing ride because it was in English!

 

 

INTERMISSION  -  Abe adored when I dumped him out of that sweaty thing!  Grammy stayed with Abe to nap so we could all stay out late!

 

The lines were WAY too long to see any of the characters, but we were so lucky to run into Belle!!!  Adi LOVED seeing her!

 

Adi was giving her pirate face while we waited in line for Pirates of the Caribbean.

 

The end of a very fun day!!!!
