Tokyo Disneyland Christmas 2014

Another bucket list came true!!!

Last time after I went to Disneysea, I promise myself to go to Disneyland in Christmas to see how will it be on Christmas. Especially after saw this ad.

The ad was so inviting.

Wah. And after I went, how it turned out to be??? AWESOME. Crazy awesome. All the cold was worth it.

I went with Shelley, my work colleague plus my friend from Singapore!! She works for Muji also fyi. Hahaha. This time since the weather is nice, we targeted all the show plus taking photos, knowing that we arrived there quite late around 11.00 in the afternoon, we don’t have much time to queue for all the rides (which without taking fast pass in the morning, waiting time is average 1 hour for the famous attractions). So in the end we only enter the lousy attraction one which required less than 15 minutes waiting hahah.

Disney Christmas feeling start getting pumped up from the station!!

Start from the gate we were surprised by the big Christmas tree in the middle of the World Bazaar Venue. Took all the photos!!!

And yet we can see here all the people wear costume dress as cute as possible while in Disneyland. Really makes you forget all the difficulty in the world hahahah.

Walk a little bit further, we found the Cinderella Castle, the iconic building of Disneyland. Too bad at that day we have no time to explore the inside, so from here, next journey to Disneyland planned already. Smirk smirk.

The Bazaar Venue from the castle side POV.

Finish taking selfies, we went for the Pirates of Caribbean ride. Quite interesting, but not mind-blowing enough. Just amazed by how the dolls were so unbelievably real-life looking. Finish with the ride, we wait for the “Minnie oh Minnie” Performance show, however too bad due to windy weather, the show were cancelled, but in the end all the cast come out and and say hi!

Feeling quite hungry, unwilling to have a proper meal yet, we went queuing for several stalls that sell chicken teriyaki sticks for 430yen each, turkey legs for 540yen each, mickey strawberry churros for 140yen each, and I bought white chocolate popcorn bucket for 2100yen! Regular popcorn is only 400yen something each cup though, however I have to buy the bucket, Mr Potato Bucket damn cute HAVE TO BUY.

On the middle we prepared for Special Christmas Parade which was to be started on around 4. Shelley brought picnic sheet, place it near the parade line (everyone do that..) and while we eat Turkey Leg, we sat and wait. Too bad I didn’t take too much photos since I record all of the show.

It was, well, happy. This happy feeling after the show that cannot be described. Sooooo happy. It was quite a show. However, there’s still several show that we have to watch so we left the spot  and decided to went in for some shops and buy several accessories and souvenirs. And of course, take photos too.

In between we make a visit to A Small World ride too. It was quite fun.

Our proper meal after the ride was Mickey burger (came as a set, with drink and potato for 1100yen) and I brought another Mickey Strawberry Cheese cake for around 400yen If I’m not wrong.

And too bad, after the meal, my phone completely out of battery, so I cannot take anymore pictures so all these picture are from Shelley’s camera and phone.

After our dinner, we didn’t stroll around that much, but we saw all the parades such as “Electrical Parade Dreamlights”, and the newest projection mapping show on Cinderella Castle “Once Upon a Time” plus the fireworks about 20 minutes each.

Electrical Parade was fabulous.

Once upon a time?

IT.

WAS.

MAGICAL.

I saw the show twice on 7 and on 9 which I didn’t regret because the first show was minus the fireworks due to strong wind, however on 9, all the fireworks came out and it was magic. It was a kind of a show that even a good camera can’t catch how fabulous it is, we can only watch the beauty by our own bare eyes. Fantastic.

Finish with all the parades, we decided to do our last stop of shopping and Shelley brought one big pooh doll, while I buy Mickey Christmas Decoration to be put on my apartment door and until now It still hanging nicely by the way, even though Christmas was over hahahah.

See all the pooh rage. 

Reaching train, we both become jelly, too tired but the euphoria is still high. We don’t know we were that tired until it all finished. It was quite a trip.

And so, with this one day trip to Disneyland is over, but the magic still works until now.
