Tokyo Disney

Yesterday was the second of two sunny days we've had here since August 23. We rode over to Tokyo Disney on the Hotel courtesy bus. The weather was perfect and the crowds weren't too bad, probably because it was a weekday. We rode the Western River Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Jets, and Space Mountain.

We also saw Goofy's laundry hanging out to dry in ToonTown along with the Swiss Family Treehouse. What a great trip.


A few things are really remarkable about the park. First, there is no trash around anywhere. It's immaculate. Second, they seem to have an obsession with popcorn. We found five flavors: salted, caramel, chocolate, soda, and curry. Yes, that's soda popcorn and curry popcorn. We didn't try all of them, but we did enjoy a whole roast turkey leg which was really popular and had people queuing for quite some time.

Finally, there is a truly amazing variety of costume animal ears on display there! Young, old, girls, guys, it doesn't matter. Everybody loves them and they can be worn in a number of ways: headband style, hat style, clip-on / barrette style. They also may come with a tiny hat or an entire stuffed animal perched on top. Here are a few examples!
