Wawa's Ramblings

It was another bright and sunny day when we left for Disneyland. We were hoping to see Mount Fuji on the way but there were still some low lying clouds in the morning.

The park was less crowded compared to our visit here last year and we used our FastPass, which was very useful when the queues were long and especially so for the more popular rides. I am still fascinated at how well behaved Japanese kids are and it was such a pleasure watching the parades and shows with everyone sitting down in an orderly fashion. We were totally amazed by the attitude of the staff at Tokyo Disneyland, especially those manning the rides. Every smile and bow was so genuine, despite the thousands of visitors every day. The magic of Disney and the amazing culture of Japan is truly a winning combination. As our local guide pointed out, Tokyo Disneyland is still immensely popular with locals and tourists, even after the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland.

We spent a fair bit of the time browsing through the colourful and pretty merchandise in the shops and had an early dinner, so that we can sit down and enjoy the electrical lights parade.

The fireworks in front of the castle was also spectacular, with the cool breeze and Christmas songs. A truly enjoyable day out at our favourite theme park.
