Day 14 Tokyo Disneyland


Disneyland

Arrived 40 minutes before park opening. The queue is just a squish of people as opposed to orderly lines. It was hectic. we do not like this at all, I felt terrible for the kids, they were squished with no air, it was humid, and as much as I just wanted to get out of there, we were committed, so we stayed until they let us in.

Park opened and we went straight to the Monsters Inc fastpass, got return for 11.50. Walked to Poohs Hunny Hunt, this was amazing, it’s trackless and so immersive! Second to last scene it broke down! They fit us all off the ride and walked through the las scene to exit. They gave us a fastpass to use there at any time in the day! 

Haunted Mansion Jack Skellington overlay 13 minutes, definitely worth getting to the park with a plan, and use a waiting time app or website to help you work out the best way forward. Small world 20 minutes.

Get fastpass for Astro blasters, 12.50 return, walked into the first showing of one mans dream 2, this one is unreserved, 20 mins before start, got seating in the middle middle of the theatre, impressive! This show is so much fun! Even if you don’t speak Japanese, it’s basically numbers from a bunch of the movies, a best of really. Loved it! Probably could have done without the last track.

Out to Monsters Inc fastpass, some lunch, and Astro blasters fastpass. Buzz Astroblasters Tokyo is by far the worst version of this ride. You can’t see the laser at all. We decided not to get any more fastpasses for it despite there being some available.

Pirates of the Caribbean 10 minute wait so we did this, to my children’s dismay! Good ride, on par with Anaheim, they still sell the women here! Mace ended up loving it!

Walk around, 35 minutes for Peter Pan, it’s such a charming ride, had to do it, and it was different! The kids say better. Walked around toon town and got Marley chip and dale popcorn bucket! Ate the popcorn!

Queen Of Hearts for dinner, some surprising veggie options, it’s very expensive for small meals, but a treat to order vegetarian easily!

Used our Winnie the Pooh fastpass. This is such a sweet ride, really enjoyed it. Noticed that in the crazy room, every ride is different, so ride it more than once if you can.

Last attraction, Tiki Room, Stitch takeover! We love this, and wish it was longer. More shopping!

Pastries from sweetheart cafe, more shopping and headed to the monorail, love being one stop away when it’s the end of a big day! 10 hour day today, park opened at 9 instead of 8.  Definitely far less people today, but their version of quiet is Anaheim’s busy summer day!
