-The first weekend of November was a three day weekend and the start of a week of election and birthday festivities. We headed up to Tokyo on Friday night and spent Saturday at Tokyo Disneyland. Here's Joe at the front gates of the park.

2008 is the 25th anniversary of Tokyo Disneyland, so there were lots of banners and anniversary souveniers to be found.

Leaving Disneyland for the day.
-
We took the train back to our hotel after a really fun day. Tokyo Disneyland is quite similar to the two Magic Kingdom parks in the U.S., but with a few minor differences. We really enjoyed the Haunted Mansion, which was themed after The Nightmare Before Christmas for the period inbetween Halloween and Christmas. I was a little bit dissapointed that the Tiki Room had been changed to include Stitch (as in Lilo and Stitch), as I love the cheesy classic songs from the original. Seeing the Johnny Depp character inserted into Pirates of the Caribbean was humerous. And all through the day we were amused by the half-English half-Japanese versions of the theme songs that accompany the rides and parades (as in, 小さいの世界、It's a small world....). The park had excellent food as we expected, and the lines for rides weren't so bad for a Saturday on a three-day weekend. More from our weekend is coming soon!
