Day 2 Part two: Tokyo Disneyland

Lunch was amazing.

And it put us right next door to Thunder Mountain so we fastpassed Thunder and headed over to Splash Mountain to do Single Rider. (Single rider allows you to jump he line and hop on a boat with an empty seat.) I was hoping to experience the ride with a bunch of Japanese people but ended up on a boat with three big gay hairy bears from Luxembourg.

The universe has a sense of humor.

We then hit The Disneyland Railway (which just circles Western Land and Adventure Land), Star Tours and Peter Pan’s Flight. All fun but not too different from their Anaheim counterparts.

Pooh’s Honey Hunt

Our expectations were very high for this ride. We were not disappointed. This ride features a trackless ride system where the honey pot vehicle glide along the floor in a seemingly random way. When you take off you are with three other cars and you are whisked through an incredibly designed dark ride in the universe of Winnie the Pooh. Each of the three cars goes in different areas of each section of the ride and then dance around each other to visit other areas. At times the ride vehicles group together in front of a large video screen to watch and move to an animation. The animations along with some incredible animatronics enhanced each other nicely. And since each car is doing its own thing you have no idea where you are headed next. This makes for an incredibly satisfying ride. I’ll try and grab some video the next time we ride so I can share it here, though I doubt the video will do justice to the experience.

By this time is was around 4:30pm and I was done. I just can’t survive on 5 hours of sleep and enjoy myself. A monorail ride back to the hotel and an hour and a half nap and I was up for a bite of dinner and a little bit of shopping at DisneySea. Then I was in bed by 8:30pm while Mikey walked throughout DisneySea to get some amazing pictures of the park at night.
