Tokyo Metropolitan Building
Early in the morning, we took a stroll to the Tokyo Metropolitan building nearby our hotel to view the city from one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo.
Kelvin trying to act cool..limin saw this pic and said he looked like he was "bio-ing" girls
View from the main observatory at Tokyo Metropolitan building. the scenery was abit dull though all buildings and very grayish..
souvenir shop selling all sorts of knick knacks for tourists at high prices..we didnt buy anything hahaha..
After that we headed to a ramen restaurant for lunch nearby. There was a long queue (and all local Japanese) so figured the food must be pretty good lol.
The menu was in japanese but i managed to figure the words for egg "tamago" and ramen and ordered that.
Outside our Keio Plaza hotel waiting for the shuttle bus to arrive to bring us to Tokyo Disney Sea. The hotel has this free shuttle service which makes it very convenient for hotel guests to travel to Tokyo Disney Land and Disney Sea. If not, we need to take the trains and its quite far!
Onboard the bus, they played videos of the Tokyo Disney Resort which makes u excited to want to get there and start taking all the park rides~
Finally, we saw Tokyo Disney Resort!
So cute the monorail, love the red colour. It takes you from the Disney land hotels to Disney Sea and Disney Land.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse welcoming us to Tokyo Disney Resort ^^
Bought the entrance tickets for Tokyo Disney Sea, we chose to go Disney Sea instead cuz the rides are not so kiddish and more thrilling. Cant rem how much exactly but it was not cheap lol. And because it was winter, the park closed early! So i think we only had 4-5 hours to explore the park.
Posing at the entrance with our tix
When we walked in, the first thing we saw was this earth globe in the center of a water fountain.
Then we saw Daisy Duck (accompanied by lots of tourists trying to get her attraction so they could take pics with her)!!
My first time seeing Daisy Duck character, i was quite excited lol.
5 mins later, we saw her boyfriend Donald Duck!!
The kids looked so happy and kept wanting to take turns to hold Donald Duck's hands. The small girl looked like a mini version of a trendy teenager in Harajuku or Shibuya, check out the red ribbon in her hair and fab fur trimmed white puffy jacket, striped scarf with black stockings and booties.
kawaii ne~
Brightly coloured balloons anyone?
Crowd gathered to view the main attraction, a action filled musical story with lots of fireworks, music, dancing etc. Sounds great except that everything was in Japanese so we didnt understand a word what was happening hahaha..
The dancers were all so animated and concentrated on their performance, admire their professionalism.
Saw some gorgeous field of flowers in the park.
European styled buildings inside the theme park
Saw this swarm of Japanese people surrounding Daisy Duck trying to take pics with her
We wanted to take pic with Daisy Duck too but gave up cuz they were simply too many pple liao lol.
Our next aim: Scrooge McDuck!
This two girls approached us to take pics of them with Scrooge McDuck. One thing i must say is that the japanese girls really love soft toys and cute stuff! they wear ribbons or all sorts of stuff on their hair, clothes and decorate their bags with soft toys!
I was amazed by this bag pack decorated with so many soft toys (most of them chipmunk and friends) that i had to take this pic.
candid shot taken of us trying to take pic with Scrooge
Ta-dah! finally one pic taken with a Disney character hee ^^
We went to take the Tower of Terror, that was very fun and scary ride. When you go inside, there is this "mad" monkey that keeps laughing and screeching and suddenly it disappears.
Then you go inside this place where there are rows of seats like in a cinema with seat buckles. Then when you sit down and all secured, you feel this sensation where u are going up the lift and then suddenly it drops from the highest floor all the way down!! Damn thrilling the ride, only minus point is that the ride was too short! it was over in a few mins..
We walked around the park, looking for more exciting rides..
Oh no, everybody better get out of the way before i ram you down with my horrible driving skills lol..
This scene looks straight from a fairy story book with the huge commanding castle and pirate ship with ship mast and flag.
do u see the big volcano in the background??
close up of the gigantic ship
We were hungry and bought this Churros as a snack to munch on, super yummy esp when its so cold in winter!
Arabian area
We went to view the Arabian themed Magic Lamp performance
Inside, there was some snake talking in japanese and then it disappeared and we went into this theatre where there was a magic show performance with some genies and stuff..the whole time we didnt know what they were talking about (even though i learned basic jap) i could only catch simple words..
in fact, everything in Tokyo Disney Sea was in Japanese (announcements, signs etc). If only they had an english commentary sometimes for non japanese tourists, that would make it so much better!
With our 3D glasses
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
can you see me and Kelvin at far right corner?? we were too skint to buy the pic so we secretly took a pic hahaha (other jap tourists did that too lol)
Soon, it got dark and it was closing time. The announcements started and we headed to the souvenir shops to buy last minute gifts before leaving.
And guess what? our shuttle bus that was supposed to bring us back to the hotel wasn't due to arrive till 2 hours later so we had to wait for the bus. And it started drizzling so it became super cold and we felt so cold and miserable. Luckily I then thought of going to one of the nearby disneysea hotels to escape the coldness. We went to the hotel lobby which looked like European style with the painted ceiling and gold splendor.
Mickey mouse cookies! we ate a few cuz by the time we were starving and havent had dinner yet..
FINALLY it was time for the hotel shuttle bus to arrive and bring us back to the hotel.
Felt so good to be back in the hotel safe and warm ^^
