Japan Trip (18) - Disneyland
First time I'm in a Disneyland. And I'm here on the first day of 2013 so there's exclusive New Year decor too!
To celebrate the Incoming snake year, there's loads of merchandise. Finally the snake from the jungle book gets celebrated! And the rest gets converted to snakes- they look like Serpentor from GI Joe.
We got to try a couple of cool rides but all were in Japanese so can only enjoy the sights-
Splash Mountain- very fun water ride with the Brer Rabbit family. I took the front row- got totally drenched!
Parade- ok I wasn't keen on this but their ideas for the floats were brilliant. And good way to entertain the waiting crowd.
Peter Pan- flying on a pirate galleon above the scenes from the movie- thrilling though short.
Small World- just a musical cruise ride but so cool how they portrayed the different countries. Almost felt like I was in a exhibition booth- can identify all materials used!
Nightmare before Christmas- fantastic ride but we waited for 1.5hrs- horrible!!! Liked the holographic ghosts though. Pretty enjoyabale!
4D Theatre- quite entertaining - and first time I get sprayed in a cinema- is this similar to the Yangtze cibema experience- that one also might have fluids squirting at u. The kid next to me kept trying to reach out to grab the 4D images in front of her - so it's quite realistic.
Space Mountain- my favorite- space ride where you cannot see the rails and dunno which way the roller coaster will go!
Big Thunder Mountain Ride- was night fall and our only fast pass. This is much better at night cost like Space Mountain- was so dark you won't know where you're going.
But it was so cold and the wait so long we had to arrange toilet breaks after each stop- like dogs marking territory.
And the fabled fireworks. Let's just say it was really pathetic. Only a few minutes of fireworks n totally without any performance- everyone felt cheated. Hahahhaha Mickey no budget in winter after heating up Sleeping Beauty’s castle!
