Lotso Garden Breakfast
Started with breakfast that was included in our package. Saw a super cute Lotso lying on the table (assuming someone came back to claim him, or else….).
Tokyo Disneyland
Entrance Plaza
We got to Disneyland for our early magic hours from the hotel, and found an incredible amount of people waiting and about to get into the park. We got in pretty easily (through the middle section), and started our day in the park a couple minutes before they released the hordes (I absolutely hate rope drop and have never seen the appeal).
Winnie the Pooh
We headed over to the Winnie the Pooh ride, only to find that it was closed for refurbishment (sad day). We were greated by cast members waving hi with pooh bears though, which was really cute, and we got to be the first people there before anyone else swarmed the building and space.
Monster’s Inc
Since pooh was closed, we headed over and wandered over to the Monster’s Inc ride. We had a great time searching for monsters with our little flash lights in the car.
Baymax Happy Ride
Afterwards, we met up with Mom who made it into the park, and we used our FastPasses for the Baymax ride. It’s basically the Alien Saucer cup ride at Disney World, but themed with Baymax and also the song they were playing is super catching and everyone was singing along ad vibing. The vibes there were honestly the highlight rather than the actual ride.
Popcorn
More fun flavors at the Big Pop central popcorn store.
Beauty and the Beast
Our Beauty and the Beast ride FastPass was for later in the day, but we stopped by for some refreshments in Gaston’s Tavern.
The lines into the ride were crazy long, so must’ve been in high demand.
Bubbles!
Just like Magic Kingdom, there were a ton of bubbles everywhere we went.
Stitch Invades the Tiki Room
Next, we went out to the Tiki Room to see how Stitch invaded. It was pretty fun. Very Polynesian themed in the pre-show as we walked in, but with Stitch prints everywhere along the way.
The show itself was so much fun. Stitch makes this room so much less annoying and fun. It even played a bunch of songs for us as well. Good times.
Pirates.
Did a quick Pirates ride on the way out, since there was virtually no line. Pretty much the same ride as the Anaheim one, but with the notable exception being some of the scenes that were removed are still here in the Asia one.
Back to Hotel
We headed back to the hotel for a bit to get out of the sun, relax and recuperate and take a nap / break.
Space Ranger Scavenger Hunt
Nate and I ended up doing the quick scavenger hunt to get our junior ranger stickers.
Tokyo Disneyland Part 2
Headed back to the park to get to our Beauty and the Beast FastPass. Stopped in the mall area to just take in the vibes and take a few photos of the remaining cherries as the sun was setting and golden hour was here.
Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Tales
The entrance area had a ton of interesting stuff to look at, with the FastPasses, we had to just blitz by most of it.
There were even the stained glass that would change like the story.
The ride itself was amazing. So much better than Ratatouille. Very expansive and immersive…more on par with Rise of the Resistance. Really an incredible ride.
The exit was also super pretty and especially with the sun coming down it was super nice.
Baymax Happy Ride (at Night)
We split up after that cause Nate wanted to stay for fireworks and I was pretty tired, and wanted to go back. Stopped by Baymax on the way out for the vibes.
Winnie the Pooh Bucket
Went to go find the winnie the pooh bucket I had my eye on, and grabbed it with the honey popcorn. It was…not great :D. Super cute bucket though.
Castle at Night
The castle lit up at night was super pretty though as we exited on the way out.
Exiting the Park
Saw a guy with a lot going on. So many questions.
Lotso Garden Dinner
Dinner again at the Lotso Garden Cafe. Good times were had by all.
Photoshoot
Last thing we did at the hotel before crashing and leaving tomorrow was using our outfits they provided for a tiny photoshoot. More good times :D.
Great day, could use less people and less heat, but overall still a great day.
Vibe Check
3 parts joy
1 part disgust – so many people…and rope drop
1 part sadness – pooh being closed for refurb
