Tokyo - Day 5

Day 5
We began this morning with breakfast at the hotel with Deena and her kids who spent the night at the New Sanno and went to Disney land with us.
After breakfast, we got on the trains for the trip to the Disney area. We had to change trains twice and the trains were packed full of people as it was a weekday morning! We were very thankful that we had sent some of our luggage ahead - if we’d had all that luggage, I’m not sure that we would have fit on the trains!! It’s amazing how many people they stuff on there at once.

At about 10:00, we made it to the Disney monorail, went to the hotel to have them hold the rest of our bags and then we were so excited to go into the Disney Land park! We had so much fun – it was so interesting how some things were the same as Disney in Florida and some things were so very different!! Many of the rides were the same, but we laughed our heads off at some of the shows where they spoke in Japanese. The Country Bear Jamboree was the funniest one! They did it part in Japanese and part in English. We all rode Space Mountain… even Allie! Last summer, she would have never ridden that and Adysen was a little nervous then too. This year, the bigger the rides were, the more Adysen loved them!!

We were not impressed with our first meal at Disney Land. We had some chicken sandwiches and other things that were not the best. We left the park at about 5:30 so we could come get checked into our hotel. We were hungry, so we decided to check out the hotel restaurant. I think we got spoiled at the military hotel where we stayed in Tokyo…. the prices were so reasonable there and the amenities were great. Here, you have pay for EVERYthing and the restaurants are all super expensive! The girls split a kids meal that was $17.50 and it was gross looking food that reminded me of Furr’s. Mimi had an eggplant salad that came without eggplant and we didn’t realize it, but we were paying $7.00 EACH for sodas!! We spent $28.00 just on sodas!! We will definitely not be eating at that place again!!

Our room is very large and has a beautiful view of the Tokyo bay. The beds are hard, but we don’t really care tonight. We are all so tired that will sleep good no matter what kind of bed we have. Tomorrow we will be visiting Disney Sea and we are very happy not to have to pack up anything or take any trains!
