Tokyo Disneyland

So, Saturday I went to Disneyland. It was VERY crowded, but it was still fun. I have to say that the original Anaheim Disneyland is the best and I don't think many would argue. Tokyo Disney has most of the same rides as Anaheim. They also have another theme park next to Disneyland, called DisneySea. I plan on heading there once the weather warms up a little. It was strange to be in such a familiar place, but in such an unfamiliar place at the same time.

The Entrance to Tokyo Disney


It was decorated for Christmas (of course!)





The only thing that was better at Tokyo Disneyland (in my opinion) was Sleeping Beauty's castle. It was enormous compared to Anaheim.


The first ride we went on was Pirates of the Caribbean. It only took 45 minutes to get on the ride. Amazing. It was a little shorter than the Anaheim ride, but everything was the same. All of the pirates spoke English, so it was really familiar. However, it lacked that old musty smell that I love so much about the ride.




The Haunted Mansion was pretty cool. We had to wait three hours in line to get on the ride. The Mansion itself is huge compared to Anaheim and pretty ominious looking.
It was decorated in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' theme, which I love.




It's A Small World


I was feeling brave and went on the Teacups...twice. We all sat in the same teacup and wanted to see how fast we could go. I should have said 'no' to a second round, but peer pressure's a mo' fo'. :) The second ride was videotaped. The quality is pretty crappy, though. I am working on it.
