Tokyo Disneylandhi boys & gals, its been such a long time since i posted anything and looking at the date of last entry, time has really flies, it been more than a year since my last entry !!! Unbelieavable, its not that i sat there rotting away, in fact it has been an eventful year so much so that a single post today would not be justifiable.
Well, i would just summarise it short and sweet and from now onwards, add vibrant colours and pictures to my almost forgotton blog.(now that i am getting a hang of blogger...though not good at it, experts pls teach me how to beautify my blog, pretty please, anything at all)
Firstly, for those whom are not aware/i did not inform (thousands of apologies) , i AM in Japan to accompany my hubby for his overseas posting. Ahem. sorry but i am not a "tai tai" here, i wished i was though. (i am working here full-time... sigh) Just a Japanese wannabe tai tai.. keke Well.. as to how i "remembered" (pun intended) my almost forgotton blog is since 2 months ago i have started/opened an online store ! Yippee, its a dream come true ! i always & i mean always wanted a store of my own ! n now i have my own virtual store ! I want to advertise my store(erm.. not that i have many readers here lah ) In addition, i want to review products featured on my store as i often have queries on the effectiveness of products and suddenly i remembered i have this blog ! I would also blog about our lives away from the sunny island city and here in the land of peanuts.
Well, to start the ball rolling, *drum roll* presenting everyone's favourite Tokyo Disneyland ! Just 2 weeks ago we visited Tokyo Disneyland n here's a peep of what we did !
The set
The Cast - United Asians, u have the hospitable Japanese, the friendly Koreans n the Sillyporeans... wahaha
The Star - Misaki chan みさきちゃん, our Japanese colleague little daughter, dressed as Minnie.
It was 3rd March (which is also the Doll's festival) .
The supporting "star"... haha.. me n a Disney character ! Who/What is it ??? Is it Bren the rabbit ? Who cares, just grab it n snap first lah (Sillyporean style) oops Some tips if you are making your way to Tokyo Disneyland
(0) If u are not on a tour, it pays to be early ! It is usually very crowded at all times of the year, everyday of the week ! (It ok to be Kiasu now !) Arrive at the entrance at 8am, if possible !
(1) Bring enough/lots of cash (as in Japanese Yen) and don't forget ur plastics ! The Disney goodies are so irresitably cute, u can't go home without something. For the budget conscious, stay away from all the stores at ALL times !
(2)If you have a popcorn bucket from previous visits, bring it ! Its cheaper to top up your popcorn than to buy a new one again. If i remember correctly, 260yen for a refill and 1100yen for a bucket with strap.
(3)Make use of Fast-pass wisely, decide on die-die must take rides and secure fast pass with it first. Fast pass >> is a pre-acquired pass at a designated time to take the ride with minimum queue-ing time.
(4)Relax & enjoy at least a parade, relive your childhood.(Especially if you are not too fond of Q-ing for the rides and did not manage too get any fast-pass.)
(5) Wear a comfortable pair of shoes ! Lots of walking, running to be done.. keke
(6) Food at Disneyland are relatively delicable (not sure about fussies though) but Q-ing is inevitable especially during meal times ! Bring some snacks if u cannot "tahan" hunger.
(7)No glass bottles or alcohol is allowed in Disneyland, Disneysea sells alcohol though.
(8) Caramel popcorn is yummie(if this is a tip) haha
(9) Enjoy great Japanese service at Disneyland !
(10) Have a jolly good time !
*PS-> i forgot to advertise my online shops !!
