Disneyland

On Saturday we went to Disneyland. I think it's actually called Tokyo Disney Resort or something but it is an exact copy of Disneyland in California, except containing about ten times the amount of people. It felt like there were ten people within one metre of us everywhere we went in the park. It was actually not the experience we were hoping for. Most rides had hour long queues. The only time we had even the slightest chance to get on a ride was when the thrice daily parade was happening. Ironically this was also the worst time to move around to get to the rides as the parade route meandered through all the lands and blocked them off.



One thing different from California Disney was the large amount of benches available. I suppose they didn't want everyone just squatting on the ground all over the park. They were still mostly full but we did get to sit down when we needed to.




Rain was another problem. We actually consciously chose to go on a somewhat rainy day to avoid the crowds, but most of Tokyo had the same idea, I think. Alice didn't get too wet until we waited outside a shop for mummy. Near a fountain.
