More Disney

Turnabout is fair play - I had to take a picture of these cute girls in their princess outfits. I tried to be discreet, but when they noticed that I was taking pictures, they posed! This is pretty typical at Tokyo Disney. All Japanese are very into appropriate "costume." At Disney, most Japanese buy some type of apparel, be it a hat, a bow, or even a tail (Tigger or Marie the Aristocat), and wear it all day.

I was bummed that they took out my beloved soda flavored popcorn for soy sauce and butter flavored popcorn. We did NOT try it. We did buy two souvenir popcorn containers (we had held out soo long), which the kids are already using at home for homemade popcorn snacks. Almost everyone at Disney buys the popcorn containers (which are refillable), which hang around your neck, so you can snack while you wait in line. They have different flavors of popcorn around the park. We tried caramel, honey, and curry. Yum.

Our main mission this trip was to ride Pooh's Honey Hunt, a ride that is exclusive to Tokyo Disneyland. It's theme is perfectly done. You enter through a Pooh book. The ride itself is on magnets, and spins around, and bounces when you encounter Tigger, and even smells like honey.

When you get out, there is a replica of Christopher Robin's bedroom. Adam was ready to take a nap on his bed.

When we got in line for Peter Pan, Lottie was awake and waving to everyone in line. By the time we got to the front of the line, this is what happened. Chris set her in the pirate ship next to him (carefully!) for the ride.

She was still asleep after we got off the ride. Tired!

Adam likes the "friendly robots."

We had to try on all the wacky hats.
Lottie loved all the pillows.




We stopped for a quick bite before the evening parade, and Daddy got Adam a special treat. There were all things Monsters, Inc. themed, since the ride had opened on April 15. Of course, the Fastpasses for the ride were gone before we got there, and the wait was always over an hour, so we didn't ride. Maybe in the States.
Everyone had a great time, and Adam made the cut for the big kid rides, so he was super excited. He's not sure which ride was his favorite, but he loved everything. Except the beginning of the Haunted Mansion. That was SCARY!
