Japan 2003 Part 5

We have a great time on the Haunted Mansion, which we're able to ride twice. I'm caught off guard by observing the American tradition of screaming in the stretching room as soon as the lights go out (in Anaheim, as soon as the Ghost Host says, "Of course, there's always my way!", the whole rooms screams in unison). I'm the only one who screams, and so it's pretty funny! It's fun riding with my new friend Yuu, who gets really startled by one of the pop-up ghosts in the graveyard.

The parade is fantastic also - it seems like the Japanese Disney fans really go out of their way to make sure they see the parade! So many people stop riding attractions during the parade, that we're finally able to ride the elusive Pooh's Hunny Hunt in only 20 minutes, and we still make it outside in time to watch the parade go by! It's our lucky day!

Unfortunately, we have to leave the park to head back to Osaka, so we gather our bags at the hotel and meet Jonathan and Kumiko at Tokyo Station, where we buy our shinkansen tickets, bento (boxed) lunches, and ride the train back home, spending the time talking, eating, drinking beer, and eventually snoozing. As we take a taxi back to Matt's apartment, it starts to drizzle, which is the first rain of our entire Tokyo adventure. We definitely had the best possible weather for Tokyo Disneyland Resort!
