TYPICAL LINE AT DISNEYLAND (**#)
My daughter and her mom strongly wanted to go to Disneyland as part of her graduation celebrations. My 60 years of living has taught me never to argue with two females much less mother and daughter! So off we went. It was only a hour bus ride from Yokohama so getting there was not much of problem.
Once we got there, my perseverance and patience was greatly tested. (^^) People, people, people, oodles of people. It took 45 minutes just to buy entry tickets. Thank goodness the weather was nice, chilly for a Hawaii boy like myself but a pleasant day.
The wait for any of the rides averaged at one to two hours. The popular ones was three. This included the restaurants! So under the expert guidance of my daughter we managed to avoid most of the wait! Michele would dash ahead and get "Fast tickets" which allowed you to skip the long lines. Her mom commented, "If she was as proactive at home!!" Gahahahaha. We stayed at Disneyland all day. Results were : Two shows, three ride attractions, one restaurant! The rest of the time was.............waiting in line. (^^)
Some pics from our adventure.
The main arcade. You can see the crowd in the back. Mentally preparing myself for what awaits us!
But true to Kimura tradition to 「腹が減っては戦は出来ぬ」Can't do battle on an empty stomach.
Straight to the restaurant to load up on the carbos!
Inside the restaurant. Nice and WARM!!!!!!
Hmmmm. Got enough on the plates??? Japanese, Chinese, Western and Teriyaki Chicken Thigh!
Dessert time! Winnie the Pooh's favorite?
Got my 3D glasses and ready for Cpt Nemo aka Michael Jackson. I think I've gained weight already! (**#)
So colorful and entertaining!
Scene from "One Man's Dream" I enjoyed this show the most!
So after a very long day and to avoid a humongous crowd to get get home we got on the bus back to Yokohama. As the sun was setting the temperature was dropping quite rapidly as well. Brrrrrrrrr.
We decided to have dinner at Yokohama Station and it was agreed upon that something warm would be the best! (^^)
Decisions! Decisions!
Hmmmmm. Robata looks OK too.
But nothing like a hot bowl of Curry Udon with Tonkatsu and Takikomi Gohan.
Sleep was instantaneous!
More adventures to follow!
OSU!!!!!!
