Tokyo Disneyland & Disney Sea

Day #2 in Tokyo we ventured out on the subway (way cool transportation) and headed to Tokyo Disneyland. Okay so Tokyo Disneyland is the same as any other Disneyland I've ever been too, but it's nice to say we've been there. Over all it was a lot of fun and worth the hassle to see Dominic's face light up when he saw Mickey Mouse and all the other characters. My advice just don't go pregnant. There are ride restrictions and the people (not the workers) were pushy. Chenoa, I now know how you felt when people kept bumping into you when you went to California Disneyland pregnant w/Christian.

It did rain while we were there, mostly in the morning after breakfast, but we made the best of it. Then once we returned back to the subway down from the hotel it rained and we had about a 10 min walk, let's say we came back soaked.

While at Disneyland we went on the following attractions: Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin; Mickey's House & Meet Mickey; Donald's Boat; Tam & Dominic did Autopia; Penny Arcade. Went to the following shops: World Bazaar Confectionery; Grand Emporium; Camera Center; Town Center Fashions & we ate breakfast at the Great American Waffle Co. We snacked throughout the day, but decided to eat dinner at TGI Friday's in the Roppongi area. The rest of the day we spent taking pictures w/all the characters we saw; there are even some that we haven't seen at California Disney. All in all we'll brave the madness again and go one more time before we leave (after all baby #2 needs to say he/she's been there besides mommy's tummy).

Day #3 in Tokyo, we ventured to Disney Sea. It was a little more relaxing than Disneyland, but a lot more ride restrictions & this time not just for the preggers. Poor Dominic could ride most rides unless he was a certain height even w/a parent. Before we headed out though, we ate Sunday brunch at the Hotel (great tip from a provider of mine). Then we were off for Disney Sea...once we got off the subway we headed to the Disney Resort Line where it took us to Disney Sea. You'll see that this subway was fashioned after Mickey Mouse.

While there we road the following attractions: DisneySea Transit Steamer Line; Sindbad's Storybook Voyage; Caravan Carousel; 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (not so exciting). We ate at the Cafe Portofino in the Mediterranean Harbor. We did go into a few shops, but they carried the same items as those at Disneyland; California Disneyland's shops have HUGE selection compared to these. Also most of the attractions we rode on were in other parts of the park as well; you had to get off and on at the various stops, not ride all the way through.

Since we ate brunch at 10:00am we didn't really eat until after 3:00pm so our eating schedule was off. Once we got back to the subway near our hotel it was raining yet again & yes we were soaked again. We ate from food we ordered at the bar. Dominic knocked out - what can we say he had a blast.

Each night, except Sunday, we went to the pool to relax & unwind. Totally an awesome experience. Please enjoy the pictures.

All in all we enjoyed this vacation. After all it was our very first family vacation just the 3 of us (oops the 3 & 1/2 of us). Very exciting times.
