Japan, Tokyo - Disneyland

Wasn't planning to go to Disneyland, but plans changed.

So there I was at Disneyland on a Saturday. Woohoo, I wasn't alone. 

Look at the amount of people queuing to get into Disneyland/buy tickets, and this is only a partial picture. Crazy crowd.

The first thing you need to do when you get into Disneyland is to go get the fast pass!

After getting the quickpass for I forgot which ride, went to take Big Terror Mountain. Haha, if I came with fearful people like myself, I wouldn't have taken this ride. But I came with other 3 people who wanted to take all the scary rides. So up I went. Feeling butterflies in my stomach and trying to convince myself I wouldn't die on the ride while waiting, which was maybe 1-2 hours.

Successfully conquered Big Terror Mountain so I had to take a picture to commemorate. Haha, the ride was fun! Not scary at all. Even though there were slopes, but somehow the ride doesn't have the heart plunging feeling. Maybe it's because the ride will slow down before actually plunging down. It's suitable even for the faint-hearted.

Huge Turkey Drumstick

Me + huge drumstick

 After finishing our huge turkey drumsticks, went for another ride at Splash Mountain. Took the single rider so don't have to queue for very long. Maybe 10-15 minutes or less for us.

This ride is a little different from the normal water slides. It has a story going on inside. It's made up of a few small slides and a big one.

That's me, totally not visisble. Trying to prevent my heart from dropping.

Mickey Pizze

Lunch at some random place serving fast food. The pizza is so cute! Surprising, taste quite good too.

After lunch, it was time to go claim our fast pass at Space Mountain. While queueing, they kept repeating and repeating and repeating via audio and visual that the ride was not suitable for blah blah blah. Then I became damn paranoid and thought that the ride must be super scary.

Haha so I...

Escaped!
Then, I heard from the others that the ride was totally not scary and damn fun.

After that, we went to for another fastpass ride, Star Tours. It was disappointing. Luckily we didn't have to queue for it. Transformers at USS is much better!

All these people queuing for Star Tours are likely to be disappointed.

After that it's time for break again.

Upside-down ice-cream

After break, it was time to visit cinderella castle and some houses.

Cinderella castle is filled with glassware and tiaras.

 First we went to Minnie house.

Minnie Postbox

 Went to chip & dale tree house after that. The difference in popularity between minnie house and chip & dale house is very big. Minnie house have to queue for a long time and chip&dale house has no queue at all.

Chip&Dale

I think these houses actually doesn't have much. So unless you love the character, I think you can skip their houses.

Then the night came.

One with Muihong

Then it's time for the night parade! I think the people went there damn early to sit and wait.

Snow white- Back view

Please grant me some wishes.

 After the night parade, it was time for fireworks! Went in front of the castle to get a good view.

Before we call it a day, went for our last fastpass at the Haunted Mansion. It's not scary at all, just sit on the ride and it'll twirl you around to look at the ghosts. Scare factor- 0 but some were amazed by how they can make the ghosts so 3-D like.

Woohoo! I want to go back to Tokyo Disneyland to try all the rides that I didn't have the chance to try. Haha, also to try all the rides I tried before. Have to go back on a weekday and hopefully less time spent queuing.

VISIT ALL THE DISNEYLANDS IN THE WORLD!!!

Japan, Tokyo - Disneysea

Despite my old age, I have never been to disneyland so I was very excited to go to disney something! 

After getting my minnie hair band, rushed to go get the fast pass for the toy story ride. Had a hard time trying to find the place though. In the end, the fast pass was at 9 ++ pm -_- so ended up queuing for the ride.

Nice decorations to entertain you while queuing. Although queuing still sucks because I was stuck there for more than an hour.

Selfie to entertain myself too.Yes, fml. I was wearing my hair band on the wrong side. For how long, I have no idea.

The toy story ride was quite good! Not scary yet fun!

Most of the people at Disneysea are very enthusiastic, they'll always be waving at you. This applies to both people working there and those their to play. If you're on the tram, the people walking who sees you will wave at you. Being influenced by their enthusiasm, I started waving too. 

Minnie Mouse Ice Cream

My 600yen minnie mouse ice cream, apple flavoured. Everything is expensive in disneyland but too cute to resist. They have mickey ones too but it's orange flavoured.

Saw Mr and Mrs Incredibles during ice cream break. Everyone rushed to them for photos and signatures. Haha, so that's him looking for his wife lost among the crowd.

In a desperate attempt to take a photo with Mrs Incredibles, I actually asked a stranger to take the photo for me.

I forgot what his name is. He's so cute chasing the duck.

Went to watch the shows.. Disneysea has quite a lot of shows, so if you don't dare to take rides (like me), at least you have shows. 

This was quite good, the rhythm of the music and the acrobatics.

Dancing with mickey and friends

Usually you have to ballot for this show. However, I didn't have, most likely because it's a Wednesday so it wasn't as crowded.

When I left the auditorium, it's time for PARADE!

My new found favourite disney characters!

 

Being able to watch the parade for the first time in my life made me very happy and touched. :')

Home for little mermaid

Inside the Aladdin? ride:

As you can see, it started raining. I was super sad because I went to ask one of people working there if there will be fireworks tonight and she said no.

So went to queue for one more toy story ride.

It looks so much nicer and vibrant with the lights at night.

After the ride, guess what I saw?

I first heard something going out there and I realized there's another parade/show!!! After the show, went to have a look at the souvenir shop and they were showing fireworks that night! Woohoo! So happy I stayed long enough to see the fireworks!

Even their plant is mickey-shaped!

Goodbye Disneysea!
