Up early to make the hotel’s first shuttle bus to Disneyland. I swear there is no traffic in this city – at 7.45 am the roads were running smoothly and we even arrived at Disneyland 30 minutes ahead of schedule. Had to kill time until the gates opened at 9.
On the way, we passed a steel mill where I saw about 50 steel workers doing tai chi (or similar) together in a yard outside the mill. Think they do that in Gary Indiana?
Everyone had a blast, highlights were a show with water canons blasting from the castle and showering the audience, the new PhilharMagic 3D show, the Star Wars ride in Tomorrowland, the Winnie the Poo ride, and everyone’s favorite – the tea cups. We were there from the moment the gates opened until closing. Gavin was asleep in the stroller before we even reached the exit gate from the park. Was a bit crowded in the middle of the day but overall not too bad. Weather was perfect.
The only downer was that the Disney marketing geniuses apparently don’t agree with me that it would be cool to have a shirt that says ‘tokyo disney’ in Japanese. Or maybe Mickey in a kimono or buzz lightyear eating a bowl of rice with chopsticks.
A mom's account of a two-month holiday around Asia with a foodie husband and two under-5's. Written so that later when you ask me for Asia travel advice, I can point you here. Also keeping the grandparents happy with photos and stories on the little ones.
