Our thirteenth entry in this blog is our trip to Tokyo Disneyland. This is the second time the kids visited this theme park. Last year (2015) being the first.
Tokyo Disneyland is a 115-acre (47 ha) theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, near Tokyo. It was the first Disney park to be built outside the United States, and it opened on 15 April 1983.
Here are some photos of us riding the Disney Resort Train. Our little Ate Rei is dressed as Princess Ana 🙂

The park was constructed by Walt Disney Imagineering in the same style as Disneyland in California and Magic Kingdom in Florida. It is owned by The Oriental Land Company. Tokyo Disneyland and its companion park, Tokyo DisneySea, are the only Disney parks not wholly or partly owned by the Walt Disney Company.
Here is a photo of Rei and Papa Dave in one of our fave photo spots, Cinderella’s castle, and in one of our fave themed areas, Adventureland.

The park has seven themed areas: the World Bazaar; the four classic Disney lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland; and two mini-lands: Critter Country and Mickey’s Toontown. We were not able to visit them all since it is really a huge place. Our favorite part when visiting this park is the parade. Rei can identify almost all characters in the parade.

Since the kids are still small, we do not have yet the patience to line-up for the famous rides. Though we made sure we went to some of our favorites: The Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice’s Tea Party, It’s a Small World, Castle Carrousel, and mostly sit in shows. But we never failed to watch the parades. Here are some photos of the night light parade.

We stayed at Sunroute Plaza Tokyo Hotel (http://www.sunroute-plaza-tokyo.com/en/stay/castle.html) in a castle type room (theme of our room was Snow White). Our little Sai loves the Disney Resort Bus. I bought him a mini toy bus and he is so happy carrying it with him always.
To sum up our stay, here are some of our photos at the Resort.

That was a blast! Next time we visit Japan… Tokyo DisneySea! 🙂
