I don’t know if this is still the theme of the Disneyland people but we decided it was time to head to the Disney Park to see what all the fuss was about. While we didn’t manage to see the headless one we did get a good look at Mount Fuji on the way to the entrance to the park.
Japan is crowded and Disney land is no exception. This translates into lines, lines for rides, lines for toilets, lines to get into souvenir shops, lines to buy curried popcorn, lines to buy roasted turkey legs, lines for every little thing.
The good thing about the crowds (if there is one while you’re stuck in a 60 minute queue to go on one of the rides) you get a chance to watch the crowds and notice things like how many people get into the spirit of things. These girls are an example with their varying coloured Mickey Mouse hats that you can get. There were couples dressed in exceeding expensive designer clothes, designer sun glasses and all the accessories with these hats sat squarely on their expensive haircuts.
A highlight of the day was the parade. Thirty minutes of entertainment and colour of all the best known Disney shows.
There is also the chance to get up nice and close with some of your favourite Disney characters. The queue to get photos taken with these charters was hundreds of people long and over an hour. As you can see, with photos of random Japanese people, this is very serious business.
As you would expect this place also attracts its share of random fans. You would have to take a good hard look at yourself in the room of mirrors if you were this guy. The person dressed in the Eeyore costume actually looked him up and down for a minute or so, shook his head, and then agreed to a photo – wouldn’t that tell you something? I wonder how the Mickey Mouse hats smell after hours in the "smoking room"? I did try and get a photo with a couple of Goths as well that were dressed in all their standard Goth garb but were also wearing their Mickey mouse hats and grinning from ear to ear – it didn’t work out. As I have written previously there are some Goths in Japan that just don’t seem to get the whole Goth thing, I am now determined to find some “real” Japanese Goths.
