5/29: Blustery day off of Tokyo Bay!

You know it was windy out...yes, windy, not breezy when you go into Disney Sea and see all the trash cans tethered to another...gusts as high as 32mph in Tokyo which is on the otherside of Tokyo Bay. DisneySea is located basically on the bay.

Today was our park hopper day, and we did true to the park hopping. Started the morning out at Disneyland to knock out some of our favorites from a couple days ago and to experience a few more of the ones we loved!

One thing that consistently throws me off is the use of music from WDW. Walking through areas I feel like I should be getting to the countries or main entrance of Epcot. This is a daily occurrence where I need to wrap my brain around the fact that it's music from home but it's not home!

As my facebook statused stated, I have been trying a lot of new foods and strange combinations. But when consumed via chop sticks it all tastes better....I just wish there was some fresh fruit around. That is definitely something that has been lacking. I could handle a banana!! My variety at lunch today took the cake...seafood pizza. When I opened the box I recognized shrimp and octopus...the grey stuff not too sure on but it tasted like crab! This has been an adventure in trying new foods!

 

After lunch we wandered off to Pooh's Honey Hunt, expecting it to be a lot like the Pooh ride at MK; holy smokes was I wrong!! Started off in a row to load and then we took off with no track leading the way...pretty awesome!! This ride is fairly new and has a constant line going (minimum 40 minute wait and majority of the time over an hour). YouTube this one!

Did our last minute shopping this afternoon and made it into the other show here that is a lottery system to see....no lottery today because it was a slower day :) One Man's Dream II...the shows remind me of being on the cruise ships because the quality is so high and the performances are pretty long as well!

While walking out of the park to head to DisneySeas I saw a set of white rabbit ears and these sumo...If that doesn't make your Disney day I don't know what will!





After a cold and blustery walk around DisneySea and rode the one thing we hadn't done, we saw a bit of Fantasmic (slightly different from ours in Florida)...it takes place on this lake with barges and blow up globes and a mountain that turns into a sorcerer's hat. Then what a surprise...the fireworks were cancelled due to high winds...I am starting to wonder if they even load the fireworks.

 

Then it was back to Disneyland to have a waffle (big Mickey head waffle) with mango and ice cream! I have had quite the variety of waffles here! They have mini waffles in a cup for a snack, breakfast waffles are super sweet and they have boxes waffles for sale as well....we jumped onto the waffle bandwagon.

 

The final ride of the night was Splash Mountain, I offered our front row seat to the girls behind us and they laughed and politely declined. They didn't realize that we would just duck at the bottom of the drop to avoid the splash....hehe. Well, mom will duck before we even get to the picture spot.

And with this, the Tokyo Disneyland experience has come to an end. It has been an amazing experience as a Cast Member to see and experience an international Disney location. The Cast Members have been absolutely amazing and everyone we meet has been so excited to try their English skills out (even if it is a small amount) and their faces light up when I say thank you or good morning in Japanese...and when they ask where we are visiting from the excitement they get when talking about WDW and me mentioning where I work has been so fun! The park has been just like the rest of Tokyo, immaculate! I definately cannot wait to visit again and am really curious to see how the other international parks operate and what the Cast are like in other locations.
