Hello again! We are live from Disneysea tonight, waiting by the harbour for Braviseamo. Today was lots of fun, and it was Duffy and Shellie-mae's first date in the park. We took them to all the photo spots and had a good laugh with lots of the locals. We also rode Indy, Journey, Stormrider, 20000 leagues, Turtle Talk which was funny in Japanese, and lots more! Have to cut this short now as the show is about to begin!

Good morning all. Yes, Della is recovering well, but she gave it to me instead :) But I'll soldier on with the daily updates! We are heading to Disneyland this morning then going to the City over the weekend. I'll update our activities sometime tonight. I've taken a stack of photos that I'll share when I return!

Good morning. Big day yesterday so not much time for updates. We arrived at DL at 9.15 and got a FP for Monsters with a return at 6.50pm! Crazy! Also got Splash and Captain EO FP through the day. Walked on to Star Tours but everything else was queue up time. Still, we got all the Fantasyland dark rides in and the parades-I also stalked some princesses. Missed out on the Lottery for One Man's Dream. Della is still buying fluffies and more, I think I've bought a t-shirt :) Today we are taking the subway into Tokyo for more shopping. Wish me luck :)

Hello again! Today we hit the City starting with Ikebukuro. Of course there was a Disney Store there and a Build a Bear but I was fascinated by all the weird little shops. Lots of kawai little things and things I've got no idea what their use is :) We stayed there until 3pm before getting the subway to Akihabera or more commonly known as Electronic City. It is where all the electronic retail shops are and the place was totally crazy! Talk about a geek heaven-this was it. We walked around there for 3 hours before heading back to Maihama for dinner. Back in the hotel by 7.30pm, our earliest night since arriving! We'll watch the fireworks from our room in 25 minutes :) Tomorrow, we are off to Shinjuku and Harajuku to check out the Sunday Harajuku girls.

Yep, I'd say you got balance. That is one place I'll add to my must see when we eventually get there.

Wow, sounds like crowds were crazy for a Friday. The Monsters Inc FP's were always gone within a couple of hours when we were there, and although the attraction was kinda cute, it wasn't THAT good.

I love hearing direct from the source :)

Hello again! Today we headed off to Shibuya in the morning to visit the Disney Store there and the surrounding area. The Disney Store is quite large and has a unique theme compared to the one we went to yesterday which looked just like the old Sydney stores. After lunch, we caught the train to Harajuku to visit the Kiddyland store which has just moved into new and more spacious premises from their old 6 story shop. Kiddyland is one of the biggest toy shops in Tokyo and it was pretty impressive, especially if you like Disney, Snoopy, Hello Kitty, and Studio Ghibli. We spent more money obviously before heading up the road to Yoyogi Park to see the Harajuku girls and other Tokyo sub-cultures. It was really cool and I recommend anyone visiting to check it out. We then caught the train back to Maihama and had dinner with Jennifer in the Asian buffet at the hotel. Tomorrow, we are heading back to Disneysea :)
