 We eat at an izakaya for dinner- kind of like Japanese tapas (lots of smaller dishes of food that everyone shares). We have huge beers and tons of food, including ikayaki (grilled squid), which was one of my favorites from the 2000 trip. Two high school girls are eating at the table next to us, playing with their ketai (cell phones) and touching up their makeup. One of them keeps heating their eyelash curler with a lighter before using it! They notice we're watching and get embarrassed, which is cute. Izakayas are the best!We walk back to Tokyo station, get our luggage, and ride the Keiyo line to the Tokyo Disneyland Resort! The moment we get off the train I hear Once Upon a Dream playing, and all my Disney reflexes kick in. It's a long walk to our hotel, the Disney Ambassador, but on the way we see the monorail and lots of cool shops, so it seems like nothing. The moment we hit the hotel lobby, a tiny girl runs over to grab our heavy bags, and the check-in service is amazing! After we get settled in our room, we go to Chef Mickey's (the only thing open) for a late night drink - it's very bizarre to drink in a bright yellow and red room surrounded by sketches of Disney characters (but I have fun seeing how many of them I can name). Back in the room, I watch a little of The Fox and the Hound in Japanese, then fall asleep.  View photos: Japan 2003 Part 3
