Tokyo Disneyland, my first disney park visit EVER! You couldn't imagine how ecstatic I was to be here! I didn't have much of any idea about disney parks of what to expect but I was about to find out!
Let's talk accommodation:
Seeing I was oblivious about how amazing it is to stay on disney property we did not stay in one of the two disney hotels at Tokyo disney, but we did say in the Hilton which was a disney recommended hotel. The Hilton was still great as it offered a disneyland shuttle to the parks as well as having themed rooms. We stayed in the happy magic room! So cute! This hotel is a great choice when wanted to stay close to the disney park and also an affordable choice but I think now from my experience of staying in Disney hotels I would pay the extra to stay at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel or DisneySea hotel Miracosta. Just so I stay in my disney bubble a little bit more. I would also recommend spending more then one day at each park. We only did one day at disneyland and one at DisneySea and it was not enough! If you are a hard core disney fan I would say stay a week.
DAY ONE: TOKYO DISNEYLAND RESORT
We started out day with breakfast at the Hiltons buffet breakfast but I could hardly eat I was too excited! After breaky we headed of the disney shuttle bus outside out hotel. We arrived at disney just after the park open time (so around 8:30am) and lucky we already had out pre bought tickets because the ticket line was HUGE. We entered the park and the magic. One thing to day about Tokyo disney is that it's packed! I mean the population is incredible but this didn't bother me at all you'd have to except it in Japan.
Our first stop- Cinderella's castle of course! It was so beautiful! We then headed for Tomorrow land. The first fast pass we got was for space mountain as that is one of the most popular rides. I'd defiantly recommend learning the fast pass system and using it! Then we just explored. Tokyo Disney has the cutest merchandise Iv ever seen!
After a few attractions we stopped for a snack at tomorrow land terrace where we had mini Mickey head chicken nuggets!
Then it was off to Fantasy Land for flying dumbos and its a small world. The line for its a small world was surprisingly not ridiculous, and as we waited I noticed people throw yen into the water (for luck I guess) so I though my coins too. Maybe just like a the Trevi fountain it means I might one day return to Tokyo Disney!
After that we decided to lunch at Alice in wonderland cafe. It's the coolest looking cafe which ended up being a quick service restaurant.
Next stop- Frontier Land. Splash mountain was said to be a not to miss so we waited and waited and waited and waited. 110 minutes for splash mountain. *Note most of the queues for the large attractions are incredible long.
As we explored adventure land and made our way back to fantasy land I spotted Mary Poppins! A swarm do people started to crowed around her but i ended up getting a photo with her and also had her sign my hat. I was super happy about this because Mary Poppins is one of my favourites!
After a little bit more shopping and a giant Dumbo plush purchase later, we headed to find a spot for the parade.
We ended the night with the Tokyo Disney Electrical Parade! It was so amazing! not to be missed! The floats were just awesome and left me and awe.
Once the parade was over it was time to leave the magic and we heading back to our hotel.
