Sept 5-Left Shibuya at 6:30 AM and took about and 11/4 to get to the Disney visitor center. We were able to check in and leave our luggage and off to wait for the park to open. No early stuff here and at 9am the gates were opened to accept all the park goers. The park was EMPTY and we took our time and strolled to Thunder mountain. Short line and loved the ride as much as we do in WDW.
Off to Splash Mountain. This ride is a bit different, not just the Japanese, a different story and very little splash at the end. I don't think the japanese like to get wet, but still a great ride.
Wayne videotaped the ride and it's fun to listen to the song in Japanese.
Hidden Mickey? We did some window shopping and lots of Halloween, but I am going to keep the photos for another day.
Nice photo of Wayne. You can see how empty the park is. We were told it never gets empty, but makes sense-1st week of school for kids here in Japan.They won't take them out and miss class.
View of the gate from the train station. Shows you how close it is to the park. The train actually costs money to ride since it can't be owned privately and is run by the government. Remember, this park is not owned by Disney, but guided by them and everything is official.
We went back in the evening and rode the roller coaster again, Wheeee!
Had a great day and very tired, but only a short train ride back to the hotel. Loved the park, very clean, great food and had much fun. Only thing I would say is Don't expect to see characters all day. They have spots to greet them, but very limited and we only saw 2 all day.
Onto Disney Sea!!
