Tokyo Disney on 2 Weeks’ Notice: Hightower Halloween Costume!

[NeverlandClub23]

I pilfered someone else's picture of a Happy Magic Room to gain admittance to your trip report .

TDL looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I do have to agree that it still seems sort of overwhelming. Do you think what limited language you learned before you went helped decipher some of the signs or helped you navigate your way around? I look at some of the signs/maps in your pictures and I would probably just curl up in a ball and start crying . All of your TR's are always so good!!

WOAH!!!! What an update! I give you MUCH credit for not getting lost..because i certainly would...with unfamiliar suroundings and a language barrier..that would have done me in! Kudos...and I love love love the pictures and details.

lurkyloo, just FYI, that Tokyo Bay Hotel Toku looks very similar to the Gaylord Palms in Orlando...it's HUGE and is themed to 3 different sections of Florida, The Everglades, St. Augustine and the Keys....I highly recommend checking it out the next time you visit WDW

OMG what an update! What a crazy day you must have had. The Disney hotels are amazing. I really want to go and stay at one. Plus the monorail there is really cool. How come they are not like that in the states? This really was a trip of a lifetime!

 

[H2E]

Awsome!

Sorry it's taking so long—I just have so dang many photos, there's no way to do an entire day in one go anymore!

Don't apologize, I'm enjoying every last minute! Your pics are fantastic, and I can almost smell the Octoballs. I loved them, but I had them plain. Maybe the sauce ruined them for you.

I was just telling DH that I can't believe the Yen rate. When we were there in the 80's, $1 would only buy 175 yen We could never afford to stay on property - now it looks downright cheap - If there ever was a time to go to Tokyo Disney, this is it - I'll have to work on him Thanks again for all the details!

And don't you guys have better cell phones than we do too? It's our dearth of public transportation (well, at least in LA) that really gets me, though.

I lived in London in the late '90s, right after college, and had two jobs: one at an audio music magazine (meaning it came on CD!) and the other at The Body Shop in Piccadilly Circus. I loved it - I'd always been an Anglophile, plus it was my first time living in a big city. After I got back to the US I spent a year trying to figure out a way to get another job back there, but it's pretty difficult unless you can find someone to sponsor you. But I love to visit!

No I think the phones are on par. You are always welcome to stay with me in the UK! I'm heading your way next year. Right off to catch up now, my PC has been broken so i'm way behind oh and that silly little election meant I had to do some work rather than read the DIS while at work

Carrie - if you want to do a house swap I'm there!

I've wanted to live in the States since I was about 6. You guys just have such a great way of life. More choice, better service.

Closest I ever got was a few months at UCLA, man I miss it!

Only up to page 9 but had to stop to say i've still got my Sylvanian Familes!

Yeah all caught up, I had two things to comment on:

1 - love the Minnie Mouse Store
2 - can't remember because I was so blown away by those last photos!

2 - can't remember because I was so blown away by those last photos!

This is exactly how i am when I read Carrie's reports!! There's just so much to comment on, that when I get to finally comment I forget everything I wanted to say and just say..."Excellent job!" or something like that!

 

[A-T-G]

Take your time, Carrie! It's always worth the wait!

“Japan Airlines: We’re pretty dang good!”

I love that slogan! hehe

"I could see Russia from my house!" Gotta think about that when you fly over Alaska.

I would have tried all the buttons on the toilet too hehe

(Yup, I'm just catching up. If you have time on your hand, and want to figure out why I haven't been on the dis for a while, check my ptr hehe)

 

[PopArtGal]

You gotta love all the "unknown" products you can find at that 7 eleven. You are quite adventurous. I might be scared to try some because of my allergies.

May I copy your picture of the Alice poster?? I'm obsessed with this movie. Well with most Tim Burton movies. Just ask my students lol

The different chocolates look really neat. And I love a good hot chocolate!

 

[Vallie]

Love love loveee this trip report!! So inspiring!

My boyfriend and I are hoping to head to Tokyo/Disney Seas sometime next year,

We want to spend a couple days in Tokyo (probably 3ish) and two days at Disney Seas/DisneyLand Tokyo...

Whats the best way to go about starting to look into/book things??

Thank you!

 

[PopArtGal]

I loooooooooooooove the stationery!!!! It's so cute and so me hehe

Glad you could switch room.

I need to "breathe" in a room. If you understand what I mean.

 

[PopArtGal]

Ok, I just loooooooooooooooove the commercials!! Congrats Patrick!

 

[Wazzo]

OOOOoooooh, Donald!!

I'm not sure which one I liked best from your last installment... the cute sleepy Donald in the window was fun, but I'm glad it wasn't me in Japan or I might have bought that GIANT plush Donald!!!

Your pictures are spectacular... now I want to go to Japan even more!! Perhaps when they get VRs!!!!! You'll have to come and be our official tour guide!!

 

[PopArtGal]

yummmmm so much treats!

Would you look at that Swarovski store facade!!!!!! I am amazed!

I am not a Star Wars fan, but I love the chopsticks!

 

[PopArtGal]
