t68 magic of DISNEYLAND

Disneyland here we come!!

just like promised.  i am back at Disneyland.

this time it's not about me, but us. 

to be exact, it's about the kids in us.

check this video.

i remember, people young and old ran their hearts out when gates were open.  this time disney learn to notify everyone only to walk.  and so we did.

tokyo disneyland is located on the south-east of tokyo.  it can be reached by JR's Keio line and the nearest station is Maihama.  Besides disneyLAND, the area also house the DISNEYSEA, the sea version of disney theme park.  this is the only disneySEA in the world but this time we only concentrated at the disneyLAND.  friend of us reported back that disneysea is much better than the land, but we give it a pass for now.
i know someone who has started to plan the disneysea trip. wait for me, i may tag along.....

 with that sprawling acres of land to cover, we knew we could only 'see' the entire area, but impossible to enter and ride each and every single ride/show. not to mention some of us are not really roller-coaster-friendly.  me included.

 so as a start, we choose the ever lovely POOH's hut.

now you feel the ride.

lovely isn't it.  as a technologist, i couldn't help but trying to figure out how that vehicle moves without the visible wheel or track.  is it magnet??? i don't know.

 there is a designated time for the ever-popular DISNEY character parade so while waiting for the time, we were just walk about and did a little short ride. 

 almost parade time, people were asked to sit on the tarmac along the parade route.  so the video i take is from the sitting position.

 there is a toontown as well, obviously it means cartoon town where houses are skewed and having partly absurd proportion. 

this cute little town has also a seemingly mild roller coaster, just the right type for me, and the laughable ride for the rest.  wait who will be laughing..... 

here we go!!

 as we couldn't find a suitable solat area in the whole of disneyland, we decided to call it a day and head home, i mean shinjuku.
we can safely say we didn't even cover one half of the entire disneyland attractions in a day, so it probably needs two days to do just that, and with a lot of courage (to line up).

where to go in shinjuku?

they seem happy enough with the disney experience but i can't stop worrying if our first Airbnb stay experience in shinjuku will be ok.
