It's Tokyo DisneySea day, so I wake up early, shooting some video of the monorail out our hotel room window while I wait for Matt and Jonathan to get ready. We leave the room and head to the lobby to buy our park tickets, and then start to walk to the park. Along the way we run into to Kumiko, who arrived in Tokyo last night and stayed with her cousin. We head back to the hotel to meet Yuu, one of Matt's former students who simply loves Disney so much that she took an all-night bus ride to Tokyo so she could spend the next two days with us at the parks! Once we're all together, we finally head to the park, still way ahead of official opening time.
I try to study the map of this unfamiliar park to come up with a quick touring plan, taking advantage of FastPass and trying to remember everything I've read on the web! Soon the gates open, and we run to Mysterious Island! Our first rides are fantastic, and Jonathan and I quickly learn that kowai means "scared" and yada means something like "I don't like it", since we hear all kinds of kids (and Yuu) saying it on the scary rides.Labels: disney, japan, trips
