Ginny 0 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 On my first trip to the parks I didn't have any luck finding t-shirts, but luckily on my next trip I was able to find ones that were unique to each of the parks. Link to post Share on other sites
Jew 33 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The shirt sizes are also not friendly to most male visitors from the u.s. Link to post Share on other sites
Meteornotes 0 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I still think my favorite thing I've purchased from the Tokyo parks is my Shiriki tissue box cover. I love Shiriki! Â dt Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 53 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) The Japanese aren't into the large Mickey ears, either. Â Tell me. I tried and tried, through all 3 TPR Japan tours I took, to find a pair of ears, but they just didn't/don't have them anywhere. Period. Â I did pick up this little number, last visit, during the resort's current 30th Anniversary.... This is what the guys who visit the TDLR parks seem to like, and wear - large oversized 'hats with ears' lol. Edited December 13, 2013 by Nrthwnd Link to post Share on other sites

Nrthwnd 53 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ^ Â By the way, didn't you find it amusing that in some couples, the girl was always making her guy wear what 'normally' she should be wearing, in the ears-headband things? Like the Minnie Mouse headband ears, etc.? Â I thought it was ....sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterFEV 0 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 *ahem* there was nothing little about that hat. Â This is an entirely accurate statement. I don't think I can EVER get this terrifying image out of my brain: Link to post Share on other sites
cfc 32 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ^Bill does have a bit of a "Batman villain" vibe in that hat. Link to post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 53 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ^^ And I remember you were all drinking at the time, hmm? Â Sadly, that's the only time I wore the damned thing - from the shop (Bon Voyage) to the hotel. It was too warm to wear it in the hot daytime. And I could imagine the hell it would be, putting it "somewhere" before getting on a ride, lol. So after buying it, it stayed in the hotel room. Fini. Link to post Share on other sites

Rollercoaster Rider 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 While Stitch wouldn't be my first choice for a Simulator ride (Wall-E or Up would be), It would be interesting to see what Tokyo Disney does with the attraction. Based on what I've seen, they take A Disney attractions and makes them A+ attractions. Link to post Share on other sites

Hurricane 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 As someone that went to the HKDL version, I will say this is a very good attraction... except for the fact that Stitch confused me for my mums HUSBAND... Kinda awkward, but a very cute and fun attraction. Link to post Share on other sites

Garet 43 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The Japanese ADORE Stitch so I can only imagine how well this will go over. Â This was quite fun when we tried it Hong Kong, we preferred it to donkey live in singapore, stitch is just one of those characters who can get away with saying or doing things other disney characters can't in what to say as well as what is animated on screen and the cast member on our visit nailed it with guest interaction having everyone in hysterics for most of the show. I still won't forget when I saw Fantasmic, Mickey got a cheer when he showed up but the second Stitch popped out the hat and his girlfriend showed up on the jet ski for 20 seconds the crowd went crazy. Â With the tiki room having stitch, I always imagined stitch encounter going to replace turtle talk somehow over in Disneysea so both parks would have a Stitch ride and themeing accordingly, maybe stitch was on a Hawaiian cruise ship Although I saw lots of Stitch merchandise in the tommorowland stores in both Hong Kong and Tokyo it was only on my recent trip to Hong Kong I realized how much he appears in merchandise, anything in multi-sets that involved central disney characters seemed to now include Stitch, my handstamps were Mickey, Minnie Donald and Stitch. Even most of the limited edition halloween stuff or the strange stuff like the t-shirts with cyborg disney characters had a stitch variant. Â Â I love that the type of ride is "type" Â Sound like a cool attraction. Does Stitch talk though? I seem to remember from the one time I saw the movie he speaks mostly adorable gibberish with a couple words thrown in. Â It was pretty much all English when I went, whether throwing up ice-cream to share with the little girl, threatening a boyfriend with his space lasers over his girlfriend or telling me it's my business not his when I asked why i'd been put in space jail. The only thing was when pointing out rows and seats the voiced seems to suddenly turn less stitch each time. Give me your girlfriend Ice cream? The help stitch escape was cheesy but the kids loved every moment of that. Stitch seemed to show up in many different themes when I visited Tokyo, something I normally only see central disney characters do. Link to post Share on other sites
