We decided that we should visit Disney again before it got to cold and as it turns out we chose the week before Halloween to visit. We thought that visiting in the middle of the week may be better because there would be less people, we thought wrong.
We arrived just in time to find a spot to sit and watch the Japanese inspired Disney Halloween inspired parade. There are times I feel very much out of place in Japan (believe it or not) and this was one of them. Every person in the crowd knew the music they were playing and they knew the choreographed moves that went along with it. It was a little like being in the middle of a cult (apparently).
While the costumes of the performers were spectacular with skeletons, mad hatter tea parties and ghosts the character that was the most impressive was not in the actual parade but one of the people sitting near us dressed up as a pirate. The pirate was actually a woman, fake beard and all. It wasn’t until we spoke to her that you realized that he was a she.

There was, of course, no expense spared with the decorations around the theme park including lots and lots of fake pumpkins.
Though again the highlight of the day was the way that the Japanese dress up to enjoy a day out. There were probably half the people there dressed up. As an example there was this group of friends dressed as their favorite characters including Snow White and Chip n’ Dale but the group that caught the eye was the dozen or so mother who had bought their children to the park. One of them stood in front of the “Jolly Trolley” and I couldn't miss the opportunity to take the photo.
