Tokyo Day #2

When Papa went to explore the area around Sunshine City Prince Hotel on our first night in Tokyo, he found this 24 hour shop which sells Japanese rice and noodles. So he brought us here for our breakfast here on Tuesday morning. This meal is meant to energise us for our trip to Disneyland.

We went to Disneyland by train. Clever Papa actually figured out how to get there even though the train system in Tokyo can be pretty confusing. When we arrived at Disneyland, Papa bought the tickets and into Disneyland we went. Going to Disneyland is Papa's dream come true.

This is me, more interested in another kind of duck. :)

After a very frugal lunch of popcorn and milk, I fell asleep and missed the parade of floats with many well known disney characters. What a waste!

Papa and Mama took the opportunity to wheel me around in my pram and enjoy themselves with minimal disturbance from me. This is Papa, trying his skills. He used to be a marksman when he was in NPCC as well as in army, you know. ;)

But all is not lost. When I woke up, we took this "sampan" across a small river and went to an area with some rocks and this suspension bridge.


I actually crossed this suspension bridge a few times because I enjoyed the experience of crossing this bridge. ha. :)

Next, Mama and I queued up for 30 minutes for this fun ride where we sat in an elephant seat and were elevated to a few meters above the ground. I was pretty apprehensive and unwilling when the lady attendant placed a belt around me before the ride began but we enjoyed the ride nonetheless.

Then we enjoyed another cruise in a building called It's A Small World. It's actually an indoor cruise where the song It's A Small World was played repeatedly as we saw figurines of children from all over the world, dressed in different national costumes. Papa had taken this ride on his own just before I took my nap and he said I will enjoy it. As it was a little dark inside, I probably felt more secure with my parents near me.

Talking about queuing, the Japanese were actually so "efficient" that there were signboards that tell us how long the queue would take from the moment we stand at the signboard until we take the ride.

After the Small World cruise, my parents went to other parts of Disneyland and we left at around 5pm as Papa did not want to have dinner at Disneyland and Mama was not exactly keen to stay for the fireworks in the evening. Maybe, we will come here again when I am older. :)
