Tokyo Part 3 - Disneyland, here we come!















Waiting for the train to Disneyland
















Mickey on every carriage!
















Mickey on the handrails!
















The maddening crowd of hundreds waiting for
Disneyland to open
















People literally running in when the gates opened





















Karyn dozing off after spending much time queuing to get in





















Poor Karyn really does need some sleep
















Stage performance which we waited almost half an hour for, in order to have a seat.
















Karyn bobbing to the music
















Up close with the dwarfs
















The finale with all the Disney characters






















Toon Town - the most toddler friendly town in Disneyland





















The Baby Centre in Toon Town - where there are staff
to help you dispose of diapers after you've changed them!
















A most unreluctant model
















The 1st ride that we went on - "It's A Small World"





















The 2nd ride that we went on





















Mickey leading the parade





















Fascinated...





















Peter Pan
















Not easy getting a shot of Karyn with the parade
in the background
















Midway through, Karyn wanted to be the
photographer
















Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty





















Princess Belle from Beauty & The Beast





















And of course, Cinderella





















Minnie Mouse on the last float of the parade





















Not "taking in" the parade as she
was busy "taking photos"





















Can you believe she finished the entire
cup of fries all by herself?
















Chip or Dale?





















Daisy Duck





















Donald Duck





















Minnie Mouse





















Act cute

Tokyo Part 2 - Chiba (in which Disneyland's located)

(Post-dated)

This was the view from our Hyatt Regency Hotel bedroom - Mount Fuji.


Karyn woke up rather early.
She must have known we were heading to Disneyland that day.


Tucking into a sumptuous lunch upon reaching
Sunroute Plaza Hotel, one of the official Disneyland hotels.


As we had missed the early morning coach service from Hyatt Regency,
we had to take a cab that cost us a bomb - more than S$200!


Check out Karyn's rosy cheeks!


Slurping up the yummy pasta


It's delicious, want some?


Posing for the camera after a filling lunch


Outside the Disney store at the hotel


Playing at the hotel playground whilst waiting for our room


Where are you heading, my dear?


View from our hotel room


Zooming in on the Cinderella castle


At Ikspiari, the shopping centre next to Disneyland



It seems more like Paris than Tokyo, doesn't it?


What's with the flowers?


The super yummy sushi place at Ikspiari


This was what we had. Better than Singapore's!


Chawanmushi - Karyn's staple food in Tokyo.
Other than her Wang Wang milk balls and pasta, chawanmushi is all she ate.
