Tokyo Disney Sea - Day 7

For our final day in Tokyo, we had told the girls we had a surprise for them. We decided that it was best to keep it for the end of the trip (a token of appreciation for good behavior) - and we told them the night before we went to the park. SO exciting!!

So, in order to get to Tokyo Disney from our hotel we had to take the subway - all in all, the trip took us about an hour (with walking etc.) and the train dropped us off at a connection with the "Disney Line"


Here are the girls on the Disney Monorail - unfortunately I didn't get a good photo of the windows which were shaped like none other than MICKEY.

Here is Daddy Brad and his girls making their way into the Happiest Place on Earth.

Inside the entrance of Disney Sea - a giant globe (we have a bit of an obsession in our home with maps and globes, so this was a great treat!)

 
The water area (this is where the night light show would be held)

Right on our way in we came across Jimney Cricket!

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (our first ride of the day, completely scared Olivia to death)

Made our way into Ariel's playground - and a version of the "teacups"
A photo before the ride began...

And I had to add this - because they were SOOOO funny - giggling the whole time.

The little kid roller coaster (the girls' first ever). Loved it so much that when Olivia and Brad went on later to the "big" roller coasters (where Olivia got to go on one that went upside down), Alessandra and I came back here and had to ride this one 3 more times, so she could sit in the front.

A 2 story carousel in Aladdin Land (I don't remember what it was really called)

Now, a note on the locals and their love of Disney. In truth, I have never seen anything like it. When we got into the park area we started noticing people with their Disney items with them - bringing them INTO the park.

At one point Daisy Duck was in a spot where you could take your photo with her. The girls wanted to do that, so we waited. While in line one of the "Daisy Handler's" told us it would be 20 minutes and that we could take 1 photo - and that was all. These two young women in front of us were waiting also... Please notice their Daisy items...

They got up to Daisy and I figured they would have the staff member take their photo, but NO, they took a photo of Daisy - by herself. And then proceeded to have her autograph one of the other MANY photos they had of her in their photo album that they whipped out of their Daisy bag. Fascinating.

Our girls and the coveted 1 photo rule.

And both girls with a few of their new friends.

Later on in little Mexico (again, forgetting the name of this part of the park) Donald came through with a train of people. Our kids waved at him and he grabbed their hands and off the went... we caught up with them down the way a bit..

Happy girl.

Alessandra and Brad

and into little America (or something like that)

We stopped at the fruit stand for a snack and Lo and Behold - check that out... fresh pineapple from the Hudson River Valley...  teehee

Water from the Hudson River Basin also... If only it was Kingston City water...

And check this out - Captain Jack Sparrow. (Olivia had no idea who he was, since she hasn't seen the movies, but she was pretty stoked about the "pirate guy"

On the way home... A great ending to a wonderful vacation.
