Tokyo Day 6 Feb 18th 2009

it's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all

CHORUS:

its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world

Yes, Tokyo Disneyland here we come. By staying at the Tokyo Disneyland affiliated hotel, we could actually go in the park 1 hour earlier than the other walk in visitors but due to the tiring trip to Hakone and Gotemba, we overslept and end up entering the park 1 hour later than the rest of the crowd.

Unfortunately, Tokyo Disneyland is pretty crowded and the queues for the rides are really long. We queue up to 1 hour for the haunted mansion and 1/2 for Space mountain. Nevertheless, we spend the whole day at the part until it the Night Disney Parade. There's always this magical feeling whenever I enter Disneyland.. No worries, no stress ... just felt like a kid again. In fact, Disneyland Tokyo was the first Disneyland I ever came when it open not too long ago( back in 1985 ) with my family while in transit to the Disneyland in Anaheim LA and I can still remember the Haunted house vividly. Time flies... I was just a 7 years old then and my cousin ( 2 years my junior ) was with me and he was unable to ride most of the ride due to height requirement. I was lucky to have barely pass the minimum height requirement for the rides. The other most memorable ride back them was riding the log.








































































We left the park at 10pm to collect our luggage from Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay and heads off back to Shinjuku. After dropping our bags at Hilton Shinjuku, we decided to go out for midnight snack. As there is nothing much around Hilton Shinjuku, we went back to the shops in front of Odakyu Center and came across this shop. After dinner we head back to the hotel and called it a day.
