Disneyland Here We Come

We are all excited about visiting the Disneyland today and we were all ready to set off after our breakfast. It was another cold morning and we prayed that the wind will be more merciful today.

When we arrived at the entrance of this huge and beautiful theme park, I hurried joined the queue for the photo taking with Minnie as she is our kids’ favorite character. Well, how can you NOT have picture taken with the main mascot when you visit Disneyland right! 

After queuing for almost 45 minutes for the photo session, we wasted no time and dashed into the main park. It was filled with people and we headed for the ride after decided the direction we should start from. The Jungle Cruise was our first ride as a family and the waiting time was very short. We were able to get onto the boat as a family after queuing for less than 10 minutes. Thumps up! The ride was fun though the guide spoke in Japanese but we could figure out what she was talking about by looking at the surroundings. 

We continued our adventure in the park and managed to take more rides while we explore the park. We were lucky that we were just in time for the first parade and had a great view of it too. The parade was so nice and I really felt so emotional. It felt as though I am young once again after seeing all the characters parading around the songs that they danced along with was so nice.  

The parade lasted about 30-40 minutes I think, I couldn’t recall the duration anymore as I was too engrossed to it. Everyone was so touched by the parade and even hubby was enjoying it too though he is never the ‘Disney’ type of guy.  

It was almost lunch and we tried to find a place but most of the restaurants were already filled up with hundreds of people. We chanced upon the outdoor seats that was available and decided to have simple meals. We then realized that they were only selling pizza and some nuggets so, we had that for lunch.  

After our luncheon, we continued our adventure and we went to queue for the Haunted House which I once went when I visited Disneyland in L.A. Lady Faith was excited to go but afraid at the same time. We took along the teens with us and Maggie’s family to join us. After queueing for an hour for this ride, it was all worth it as it was so cool and relaxing. Nothing scary for this is DISNEYLAND remember! 

After a three-quarter day of fun in this beautiful theme park, we decided to call it a day. We headed back to the nearby shopping mall for dinner and went back to the hotel for another surprise. 

We gathered at our parent’s room for the birthday celebration of our little Emma. She will be turning THREE tomorrow and being the last night for us in Tokyo, her aunties & uncles shared to get her a birthday cake which was so tasty! 

She was filled with excitement and we saw the glowing smile on her small face with lightened up the room too. She was so happy that she even sang along the birthday song and clapping with rhythm. After the cake cutting ceremony, everyone went back to their room for the last minute packing as we will be going home tomorrow.
