Today me and my family arrived at the hot hot hot city of Tokyo. I was pumped to go on all the amazing and super detailed attractions that are only available in the beautiful world of Disney.
Disneyland had well and truly begun their awesome
HALLOWEEN decoration! Obviously the colour team is black and orange and even though Orange is the worst colour in the
world, Disney pulls it off and from the entrance through to the end, it's super festive.
I've been to Disneyland couple times in my life, but I don't know my way around too well. This is where my
expert in all things Disney cousin comes in, she is a Disney fanatic. She knows every single Disney song and when ever we have movie night at our house she still request
The little mermaid. The great thing about Disneyland is that they have these
free fast pass tickets, which anyone can get once every hour and you can jump the queue. This is like the best thing to happen to theme parks, because who wants to be waiting
HOURS under the hot sun
for a ride that lasts for couple of minutes? Not me.
The first thing you see when you walk in to Disneyland are all the adorable gift shop lined through the streets. Also because its was September when I went to Disneyland they already have their Halloween gift set and Halloween themed clothing for the Disney characters. My favourite was the Winnie the pooh outfit, because I love Pooh so much, he was a huge part of my Disney childhood and he still is now and I just love everything about him. well anyway the outfit was Pooh in a huge pumpkin outfit, its the cutest thing I ever seen, its a bear in a pumpkin!
The first place we went to in Disneyland was Tomorrowland, this was where all the futuristic rides were and the first thing we went on was yes the
Star Wars ride. Well big surprise I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars the movies I never got into and I was just not a huge fan of robots and just seemed a bit
geeky (don't hate me if your a fan). Well that all turned around when we went on the ride, it was one of those rides where we sit in a small space ship with a huge movie screen at the front you watch it through the
3D glasses. The ride moves rapidly and the screen makes it look like you're speeding away in space at some crazy speed. It was so cool and I loved it and I always felt like Disneyland rides were all for show and it wasn't like scary and fun, but I was
dead wrong. It was a awesome ride to start on my day at Disneyland.
Then we walked around a bit and looked at the beautiful castle in the heart of Disneyland. Its so pretty and I couldn't help but look through the windows searching for Cinderella and Prince Charming. I also love the Disney songs that play around and the song is different depending on where you are, so if your near the Snow white ride the songs that play are from the Snow white movies and it changes when you move to the Winnie the pooh ride. Its very nostalgic and makes me look back on my childhood and really transports you into a kid again.
One of the
best things and without it wouldn't be a full
Disneyland experience if you haven't tried the
Disney inspired food. From the legendary popcorn to the
Mickey mouse shaped churros you need to try it all and multiple times throughout the day.
The popcorn is one of the things that I looked forward to the most when we go to Disneyland because they have some awesome, but unusual flavours like
curry and soy sauce and salt. Soy sauce and salt was by far the most popular and the line was so long I thought they were all lining up for a ride. Also I discovered my new
favourite drink in the whole entire planet, the pink lemonade with rainbow tapioca. It's so good I had it multiple times during the day, its so refreshing and the tapioca has a bit of a sherbet taste which gives the drink a little
tang and interest.
We had some time out, just sat and relaxed with our awesome treats and watched the
Disney show. The music and the crowd going wide and waiting to see what character is going to come down next just gives me such
excitement and thrill. I went
insane when I saw Pooh, he just so adorable and he just stands out from all the other Disney characters, well in my mind.
One of the coolest things was when I got to visit the
Snow White's well, it was so cool, because it as identical to the one in the movie. I just a had a
small fail at pretending to be Snow and trying to mirror her beautiful high pitched voice. I'm glad I had my
Snow white moment.
This what I've been waiting for this whole day to ride the Winnie the pooh ride. It was like a dream walking in, the whole place is filled with the Winnie the pooh book, like a life size version of it. It was all in English so I was reading it while we were waiting, the ride itself is adorable you in a huge jar of Honey!!!! I loved it so much the gift shop was adorable and my wonderful mum got me a Winnie the pooh doll when you talk or sing or clap to it, it nods its cute head! I'm so easily amused OK.
We ended the night by watching 2 night shows, one was the Dream Lights Parade and the other was the Once upon a dream show. They were both so pretty, but I think I like the once upon a dream show better. Its a projector showing small clips from popular Disney movies and instead of putting it on a wall or screen it is shown on the Cinderella castle. Seriously it's so pretty and its truly magical and is kind of a huge display of what Disney is and I loved it so so much.
I loved the whole day so much even though we seriously got off a
10 hour flight and went to Disneyland I wasn't tired, it only hit me how tired I was when I sat down in the the car and immediately fell asleep.
