Mickey? Mouse!.. Donald? Duck!... Plu? To!.. Goo? fy!..

That's exactly what our princess will do when we read out the characters of Disney to her. It's really amazing and bringing her to Disneyland had been one of my queen's MUST do list in Japan. As parents, we were just as excited, thinking that she will be overwhelmed by all her favourite characters and up close and personal! Especially when we had subscribed to disney playhouse channel with Starhub months before and she would danced with them and started making friends with the disney characters ..

So the night before, we were sharing with our princess where we will be going and repeated some names to keep her excited. The day finally came and it was a beautiful sunny day! We were up early, prepared our princess and we were on our way to Disneyland!

When we arrived at the station, the disney "experience" has actually began! and although, it was a distance away from the main entrance, you will always be reminded that you are in the magical kingdom!

Jazelle! Look!
and the train reminded us we have arrived!


Ahh!..Toyko Disneyland!


passport?

As we were getting the tickets, we realised the characters are out to meet the public! Like a little kid, we grabbed our stuff, camera on standby and we rushed to introduced them to our princess...

hi piggy!

it was only then that we realised, the 'oversized' characters got into our princess. All her softtoys were smaller than her and the disney characters in the disney channel is not bigger than the TV.. so when she saw the characters up close.. guess what?? she cried! and say.. No! Don't wan.. Pa! Pa!(as in scared) ... sign.. At that moment, both my queen and i went blank!(ain't we supposed to be here to see them???)and we were actually queuing to meet Mickey and Minnie..

"No!pa! Pa!"

"HELP" haha! Caught you! it was not Jazelle! she would have freaked out!

Boy! We have no choice but to give up the queue to see them but we didn't let that spoil our fun! =)

kawaii!



piglet & Pooh!


goofY!

The famous castle! spot any difference?

And as we moved along, our princess will turned back and say "Goofy.. Hi.. Daisy.." Thinking that she had warmed up! We asked her , "do you want to go to them and hug them?" she replied anxiously," No ! NO! pa! Pa!"

ahh.. finally! she is happy hugging them!

and she wants them now!


what a beautiful sight!

a ride that we have queued for 45 mins!

But it was only after the ride that my queen told us it was the wrong ride she wanted us to go, it supposed to be Peter Pan! no wonder, our princess came out crying! as it was pretty dark in there! hahaha..

say cheese!


do i look like a mouse?


look familar? when we had property launches in Singapore? You must be thinking, the japs are using their stroller to book the queue! But fortunately, this is disneyland! it is just the area where all the strollers are parked. =)

i want to drive the CAR!

happy now? YES!

it's a small world afterall! The second ride we took and the most memorable for our princess!

wow! so crowded? what happened?

What Else! The 2 o'clock show!!! the street parade!





mickey!! & friends!

As we were walking, we realised that it was getting crowded and only then we knew that it was their school holidays! No wonder there were so many families and kids! But what caught my attention was that it's their local tourists that made Tokyo Disney so successful! and i meant great local supporters!! It's something we got to learn!=p

it's everywhere!

no wonder the cash register can't stop keching!

happy families!

Ok! i'm getting tired.. i will continue part 2 of the Disney experience! especially the 7o'clock show and the fireworks! which left an impression on our princess! till then, folks!
