rosscoe Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 After fifteen long years, it was time to head back to a Disney Park, so for my 41st Birthday it was time to go to Japan. Monday 9th Feb: after a seven hour flight from Cairns, arrived at Narita Airport, caught the NEX Train into Tokyo and headed out to the Hilton Tokyo Bay Hotel. Tuesday 10th Feb, Happy Birthday to Me Tokyo Disneyland Photos in no order what so ever. Is this bigger than it should be? There was a mad run from this ride, and after riding it, I would sell a child to be able to ride it again A single joy Something Big and Blue Flying Elphants, Dayglo Elephants, there's something in Disneys water Looking torwards Thunder Mountain, Ten minutes after the park opened at 9.00am What to do when a arse fills your doorway The room fills with the smell of Honey Someone was on something The Most Magical, Awesome Ride Ever Swiss Family Themeing The park opened at 8.00am for Hotel guests, this was ten minutes beforehand By the time it ended, Jumping seemed like the right thing to do This ride is HELL, HELL I tell you. Later that night at a Gay Bar in Tokyo, I saw a man in a the same outfit!! Seconds later it ended in a bloody battle.
Electerik Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Can't get enough of Tokyo Disney. Thanks for the TR! Did you make it over to DisneySea as well?
rosscoe Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Will post more tonite on Disneyland, Disneysea and the Snow Monkeys at Hell's Pass
packfanlv Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Pooh at TDL is certainly awesome. On our first day at the park we went straight for the Pooh Fastpass and had to wait in a 15 minute line just to get one. Our return time was already late in the afternoon! The Japanese know how to maximize the fastpass system. Thanks for the pics!
rosscoe Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 More Tokyo Disneyland Night Time Parade ( Which I saw back in 1988 at Disneyland CA )
rosscoe Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Wednesday 11th Feb. Left the hotel at 5.00am to go to Jigokudani Yaenkoen ( Hells Pass ) to see the Snow Monkeys. Caught the Shinkansen ( Bullett Train ) from Tokyo Station to Nagano and then transfered to a local train to Yudanaka station. The hotel had booked me on the Snow Monkey Mini Bus from Yudanaka station, after a very scary 15 minute drive up an ice covered mountain road, arrived at Monkey Park. This was an amazing day, well worth the 5 hours it took to get there. An Ice user!!! What I came to see The Onsen next to the Park Nearly There Lining the side of the ice covered road up to the Monkey Park, after the way the 90 year old drove, this might have been a safer place to be! The first time I have ever seen snow Map of the Park Tokyo to Nagano in under 90 minutes
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Awesome TR! Did the monkeys throw snow at you
ratdogg68 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Very cool, that would be worth a five hour trip. Did the monkeys just ignore people?
downunder Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'd be happy if the monkey's ignored me, they look fierce. Looks like an awesome place to visit. Hey Rosscoe, did you go with Ian?
rosscoe Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 The monkeys just ignored everyone around them, if you sat on one of the non snow covered rocks they would come up and sit right beside you. Was more than worth the ten hour return trip, and when I arrived back in Tokyo that night, spent from 6.00pm to 10.00pm in Tokyo Disney Sea and managed to do nearly all the major rides that night. Downunder, Mate went by myself. Tokyo Disney Sea photos to come...
