Tokyo Disneyland!

My first trip to Japan started off with a little Disney Magic!
Tokyo Disneyland is located at a walking distance from Maihama station, which is closer to travel to from Narita Airport directly as compared to traveling from the Tokyo city areas. To make full use of my limited time in Japan, my first stop is Tokyo Disneyland! There are two theme parks, DisneyLand and DisneySea. Both offers the same ticketing options but tickets are not allowed to be used for both theme parks on the same day. I bought the Starlight Passport, which allows me to enter the park only after 3pm, but the ticket price is slightly cheaper than the full day pass. Since I only arrive in Tokyo at about 11am, this is the perfect pass for me! Do note that when buying tickets online, Mastercard payment is not accepted, so find yourself another card to use. http://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/ticket/

Do expect a lot of locals, a lot of queuing up and a lot of children at Disneyland. Merchandises are pricey and pretty! One thing to specially take note of is the popcorn stalls located all over the park. Each stall sells a different Popcorn container and I believe the Mickey containers are priced higher than the rest. Buying a container entitles you to a chargeable top up at other Popcorn stalls, which also provides different flavours of popcorn. Even the Churros have different flavours! I tried the Tangerine flavoured Churros, which to me is slightly odd. There is a very tempting Strawberry flavoured Churros with a long queue. If you have tried the Strawberry flavoured Churros, do comment and let me know if it is yummy!

I did not try out many rides as there was a limited time and queues were long everywhere. Do check out on showtimes for the day that you are visiting by clicking on this link. But just like all the other attractions in the park, you will have to prepare yourself for a huge crowd~

Overall, I love the atmosphere of the park. Cute kids in full on costumes of their favourite Disney characters, adults dolled up in wacky Disney themed headgears and feel free to take selfies of yourself wearing those awesome but ultimately embarrassing to wear anywhere else merchandises.
