As The Parks for the Thirty-Fourth – Tokyo Drift draws towards an end, I spend the first of two days enjoying the sights and sounds of Tokyo. First I headed back up the Diamond & Flowers Ferris Wheel for daytime views of Tokyo Disney Resort. Then after grabbing some ramen from Ichiran, I went up Tokyo Skytree for even broader views and to check out the Toy Story collab. Then it was back down to earth to visit Chris “Abroad in Japan” Broad & Sharla “Sharmeleon” Hinskens’s LOST Bar for an hour in the VIP room with a Too Much Volcano cocktail and spend the rest of the day exploring Tokyo’s vibrant shopping from KitKats at Don Quijote to the iconic Tower Records to take a look at some domestic Taylor Swift releases, with a stop along the way for dinner at Kura Sushi.Continue reading →
Come along with me for One More Disney Day at Tokyo Disney Resort as I spend the morning looping the Monorail system to check out the various Disney Hotels in the Resort as well as the most popular Official Partner Hotels and spend some more time exploring dining & shopping in the Resort’s multilevel indoor/outdoor shopping mall Ikspiari! After that, I head over to my last hotel of the trip – the Under Railway Hotel in Akihabara, a unique experience where (you guessed it) the rooms are located under the railway lines in and out of Akihabara station. From there I spend the evening doing a bit of exploring of the sights and sounds of the world famous Electric Town district.Continue reading →
Join me for my second day at Tokyo DisneySea where I was able to take advantage of much lower crowd levels to maximise my day by not only managing to ride big hitters I missed the first time around like Soaring: Fantastic Flight, Toy Story Mania & Tower of Terror but also score some E-Ticket re-rides including in the still very new Fantasy Springs land! And hat’s not all, because I also continued to indulge in Tokyo Disney Resort snacking culture by trying out more popcorn (and getting another popcorn bucket) as well as some Tokyo Disney Exclusive meal and desert options. And a Disney staple, the beloved & iconic Turkey leg!Continue reading →
