Got to travel to Tokyo Disneyland! We were really frustrated that we only got to try 3 attractions after a whole day at Tokyo Disneyland. Imagine we had to wait in line for 2 to 3 hours for just one ride! Nevertheless we still enjoyed being there as a family even in the freezing cold. I said to myself, never will I go to Disneyland on a holiday!

We went to Tokyo Disneyland via private car. The driver was really nice and can speak English pretty well.We encountered heavy traffic but luckily the driver knows some shortcuts. We arrived at Tokyo Disneyland around 9:30am which should have been earlier.

At first we thought that there was few people coming because there were few cars in their huge parking lot. We thought wrong. There were lots of visitors already inside and the entrance is getting crowded. But we didn't care. There were lots of Disney characters walking around but there were long lines so we weren't able to take photos with them.

As to most Disneyland Theme Parks, upon entering you'll see lots of souvenir and food shops. The call this the World Bazaar. This is were most shops and restaurants are located. But that's for later. At the end of the shops a Japanese band was performing.

Falling in Line for 170 minutes for the Space Mountain Ride
I'm not exaggerating when I say, the place was so crowded! There was so many people in Tokyo Disneyland that day. Mostly where local Japanese. So we went straight to bigger rides, first was Space Mountain. We waited three hours in line just for our first ride. Unbelievable right?

The weather was really cold that day. It was fine when we were moving. But when we were falling in line and the line moves a few inches at a time, we were really freezing. We bought churos and pizza to help us warm up a bit.

Finally when we were about to reach the doors of the building, there was a sign of relief. Not! Tokyo Disneyland was really good at hiding long lines. From the doors of the building to the ride itself took us around 60 minutes. Comparing Space Mountain of Tokyo to
Hong Kong Disneyland, HK Disneyland's is better.

Lunch Time
We were really tired waiting in line for a long time so we decided to have our lunch. We had some burgers, fried chicken and a mickey mouse pancake.

While waiting for our food, I saw a Japanese girl wearing unique/cute shorts. Lol.

Another Long Wait at Big Thunder Mountain Ride
This ride is located at westernland. Me and my brother in law were the only one who were willing to wait long again falling in line. When we got to the ride it was already night. Again after entering the building, you'll have to wait for 1 hour to get to the ride itself.

Other Attractions and Sights of Tokyo Disneyland
We weren't really able to try everything because of the long waiting time for each attraction so just took pictures whenever I can.

Going Home
We were tired and most of us didn't want to fall in line again so we went home early and called the driver to pick us up 8pm. Before going home I tried the arcade in the World Bazaar. Won some cute key-chains in an Iron Claw and bought some souvenir medallions.
