What a bummer that they never let you go inside the temples.
Awe, so glad you got to go back once more!
I looooooooooooooove the spring theme. So great!
Yes! It's so pretty with all those colors. I was totally hooked!
Amazing trip report, Carrie
I have always wanted to go to Japan, even before Tokyo Disney was an option. Of course now that it is, it's just been my #1 dream destination! I feel like reading this report and seeing your pics got me a little closer, if only virtually
I'll get there someday.
Oh I so hope you do! I think you'll appreciate it even more for having a non-Disney interest too.
I am so glad that you made it back to the parks! And the weather looked nice as well! I can't believe they are releasing Duffy while we are in WDW. I don't know if I want one yet or not. I will see you at the Sip and Stroll! We are driving down on Saturday and I can't wait!
So.... did you buy one?
I just kept telling myself, "If I didn't buy one when I was in Japan, I'm not going to buy one now!" However, on our last day we did get suckered into taking a photo with DuffyI even blushed when he gave me a hug!
What a fantastic trip report! I enjoyed every page!
Just an observation:I have noticed from your pictures that there seem to be no foreign tourists at
Disneyland or Disneysea: did you encounter any non-Japanese at the parks?
Do the CMs speak English?
We saw a few Americans and Europeans there, but not a lot. One group we overheard debating a ride on Raging Spirits, so we warned them off it!
Many of the CMs speak English, but not as many as certain guidebooks lead you to believe. This isn't really a problem, since you can usually communicate fine through hand gestures or they can find you someone who speaks it, but it was unexpected.
Thanks for reading! Without readers like you, I'd just be a sad, crazy lady spamming the boards with oversized photos...
Thanks again for a wonderful trip report. Maybe you can squeeze me into your suitcase when you go back in April
Only if you have HUGE pockets for carrying back the inevitable souvenirs!
Lurkyloo, you are the best! I love the comments, esp. the foodie comments!!
I'm going to go back on your TR to read the comments again!
Here's a toast to you...
...
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! The food is usually the best part of vacation for me...
Lurkyloo, please tell me that you'll be writing another trippie after your vacay in WDW for Halloween festivities
Please, please please...I've thoroughly enjoyed this report on Tokyo. Thank you for sharing it with your DIS friends.
Yes! In fact, you may or may not be seeing a little preview in the next post...
Thanks again Carrie for such a fabulous report of a place I never thought I wanted to visit until I saw your photos & read your report!
Have fun at Halloweentime!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I'm glad to think you might be a little more interested in going there now. Maybe
Adventures By Disney will *finally* realize what a gold mine they'd have in a Tokyo Disney/Hong Kong Disney tour and make it easy for you!
Lurkyloo, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to write this trip report. I've looked forward to every installment and I am sad that it had to end! I'll be going to TDL next year for the first time, and your trip report has given me more information than any website. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad to hear that! I just wanted to demystify the process for people, so I can't wait to hear how your trip goes. Thanks for reading!
I love your loot!! I can wait for WDW loot in a month!!
Seriously! Wait, hmmm... actually, we hardly bought anything except retro Epcot T-shirts for Patrick. The merchandise at WDW right now is kinda disappointing...
Carrie, I have been reading your TR on your blog, but just wanted to stop in here and say how much I loved reading this TR! Definitely one of the best I've read. I feel like I've been to Tokyo.
As usual, I look forward to your future TR's...hope you having a great time at the Food&Wine festival!
Yay! Thanks for stopping by! We've brought back tons of photos, stories, and opinions from F&W, so I'll have to start that trip report soon.
You definitely have! I'm currently dreaming and scheming about when/how we can do this...someday! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. Great finish -- I'm glad you made it back for one last day at TDS. Looking forward to reading about your other adventures soon.
Oh good - I'm glad you've started to plan! It really helps make it seem more possible, I think. I'll be finishing up our Christmas trip report and starting this latest one, Halloween, soon!
In fact....
