Tokyo Disneyland

Great start .....We waltzed straight thu......no waiting,no line :)
I guess it had something to do with the weather ,cloudy with patches of drizzle and a "chilly" 19c seemed to keep most people away.

Straight thru the iconic castle to our first ride of the day (forgive me if I get the names wrong) the carousel ride then right next to it was The Spinning cups and of course Mana was in control (bad move but a lot of fun)

Then it was straight across to Its a Small World and to our surprise NZ was represented with a Kiwi and two native looking dolls!
Next was a refuel on the Disney tradition of the bucket of honey flavored Pop corn (Mmmmm) and we timed it perfectly for a Parade.
Our next ride was the Peter Pan ride (which was our longest line up time of 40mins.....yes unheard of in Tokyo Disneyland)
The weather closed in abit and I felt like shooting some Disney characters (never did like those Seven Dwafs) so it was off to Goofy's shooting saloon.
I was alittle disappointed that there were no dwarfs....only saloon bottles and the odd moving rodent) still 400 yen and 20 shots later (100% accuracy) Mana & I had 2 Sheriff stars.
While K and Mana went to the restrooms I found the Swiss Family Robinson's tree house which was so cool we just had to do it again (and no line)
While there we heard this really loud DJ type voice "Welcome aboard the Western Railway explore the American Frontier yada,yada...." sweet thats us.(waiting time 10 minutes)

While on the train I spied out the Jungle ride and we SOOOO lucked into a good guide he obviously LOVED his job and he had the entire boat in hysterical laughter (some of the jokes I didn't get but the facial expressions and the way of telling I couldn't help but laugh)

Off to the Dunbo ride (there are 2 buttons 1 up 1 down guess what one Mana kept pushing?

Then it was off to Toon Town to ride the Rodger Rabbit Car I tried to video Mana & Keiko but they were spinning so fast I couldn't keep up (K was heard to say "I’m gonna have sore muscles tomorrow)

Came out of there and straight onto the Funny up n down car which stopped just as the massive sound system kicked in indicating another Parade this time with Princes & Princess.

We were all feeling hungry so off to the Queen of Hearts for lunch.
Our "Fast Track" passport time for Thunder Mountain was approaching and instead of the 70minute wait it was 8 minutes!! (even did the touristy thing and brought the photo too)

Then it was on to the Spinning cup and Small World (both for the 2nd time)
The only thing disappointing about Tomorrow land was that the Cars went sooooo slow (but Mana and I had a great time)
Then on to that Buzz space dude I LOVED IT once again a chance to shoot aliens,cartoon characters, small rodent I don't care.
Mana and I were "blasting" away with Mum at the helm.
We came out of that and "stumbled" straight into the Star Journey (and just walked right in) its a VR type ride thru space super cool.

Keiko wanted to get a Scissor Cutting picture? (Yeah I was abit like that too)
We found it and sat in turn (the results were amazing)

Yet another Parade and Mana finally got to post her letter to Cinderella.
Our final attraction was the Haunted Mansion, Mana was alittle scared and there were I a couple of times I had to reassured that it wasn't real.
The final event was the closing fireworks display then we boarded our shuttle bus for the 25 minute ride to our hotel Emiron.

ABSOLUTLEY STUFFED!
