A few weeks ago we used our off day to go to Tokyo Disney. Disney is about 45 minutes by train from our place, and even though we hopped on a wrong train at one of the connections it didnt take us too much longer to get there. The day we went was a wonderful day, it seems as though most of our off days have been rainy and cold for about the past 4 months, but this day was great - warm (in the 70s) and sunny.
Disney is celebrating the 30th Happiness Year and as soon as we got through the gate they had their welcome sign all decked out for the celebration.
After a few pictures we got our map and set off to explore. Its been a few years since I have been to Disney World in Orlando, Florida but I think it is pretty similar. There are different areas - there is the shops area, Adventureland, Westernland, Critter Country, Fantasy Land, Toon Town, and Tomorrowland. Disney here has many of the same big rides like Splash and Space Mountain but we stayed away from those as Myla is a little too young.
We were worried that she wouldn't be old enough to enjoy it at 18 months old, but she loved it.There was so much stuff for her to do. There are a lot of rides that, as long as your child can maintain a seated position, they can ride. And so, we did. Myla seemed to like pretty much every one. And, after the fireworks at night (fireworks are at 8:30 for 5 mins and park closes at 10:00) we were able to go from one ride to the next to the next right after each otehr without waiting in line. We taught Myla the sign for more and after every ride she kept doing it and wanted to keep going back.
At Disney we also got to see some of the Characters. we were a little worried about them as she likes our team's mascot from afar but close up she gets frightened. At the park it was sort of the same the same thing. She was entranced by Captain Hook and kept pointing when we saw him but when we got real close her love disappeared a little. And, when we tried to take pictures with Smee (Hook's first mate) and the Alligator in the picture she wasnt too happy.
Our day was fabulous and the 2 parades we saw - one during the day and one at night - were amazing. Myla couldn't get enough of them.
When you are younger and go to Disney you want to see everything for yourself and go on as many rides as you can - at least I did. However now that we have Myla we wanted her to have the best time she could and make this day a special day for her (I guess that is what parenting is). But, even though we didn't get to go on all the "adult rides" we still had an amazing time ourselves and it didn't seem like we missed out on anything.
As security was helping us find the exits (Mickey had already gone to bed and we were the last ones out of the park) we were smiling and talking about how much we wanted to go back. Disney is a magical place at any age and we are hoping to get back again in the not too distant future.
