Tokyo Disney & a 50th Birthday celebration


Today we spent the day at Tokyo Disneyland and celebrated S's 50th birthday

The T-shirt says it all

A & C in the line for Pooh's Hunny Hunt

We were really lucky - a cast member at Star Tours gave us a special present - a chance to get a photo with Mickey Mouse. Mickey spent some time with us which was lovely and made sure everyone got a hug, even those who were trying to avoid it.

With the gift from the Star Tours cast member came this "medal" so that everyone in the park would know we were special.

This is us with the kind cast member who gave us the gift - it was such a thoughtful present, we felt very grateful


Cinderella's Castle



I don't think I could get away with grooming standards like this at work, but it would be fun

Our snack today - Chocolate filled Koalas

It is pretty cold here - this lady was scraping ice off the bench seats in the morning

J, L & A went on the GoGoGadget Coaster

I loved this poster at Mickey's PhiloMagic

Everything is themed so well at Disney - this is an emergency external defribulator in Toontown



Pooh (& S) in his thoughtful spot

Straight after we had been on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - it was a great rollercoaster and a lot of fun

This was the line for the Small World ride....


S loves his Mickey Mouse gloves

A sign in the bathoom to get people to wash their hands - I like that it is a positive message

The toilet has a speaker which plays the sound of running water so that the people around you can't hear any bodily functions....

J putting together the Advent Calendar

These are strawberry and cream sandwiches in the convenience store in our hotel

Sweet Potato pastry and Chocolate Muffin for morning tea

Chocolate Muffin, sausage roll (a sausage in puff pastry), Melon Pan (Melon bread in the shape of one of the characters from Monster's Inc), and a cherry and custard Mikey pastry

Minnie Mouse Pafait (small size, so it is a mini parfait)
More disney pastries - I would love to do a master pastry class at Disney, but I suspect they don't have them

Cheese is very expensive in Japan so we were surprised to see this - cheese and sausage - it was excellent

This is fruit in jelly in the hotel convenience store - I thought they were pretty

We weren't sure what these were, but the box was cute



We had a family dinner at the Canna Restaurant in Tokyo Disneyland Hotel. It wasn't worth putting up photos - it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, and given the prices they were charging, that was a huge shame. On the plus side they made a lovely dessert for Stephen's 50th birthday.


It was a long day, but a lot of fun
