Tokyo trip Nov 08 (Disneyland & DisneySea - back again!)

Day 5 (Thursday, 6 Nov)

Back to Disneyland & DisneySea again!
Had not enjoyed enough of both parks, so decided to upgrade our 2-day passport (10,000 yen for each adult) to 3-day (12,900 yen), and that enable us to visit both parks on the third day.


We headed to Adventureland, which we had missed on day 1.
Waiting to board the Western River Railroad.

We wanted to explore more attractions like 'It's A Small World' and 'Castle Carousel' at Fantasyland, but the sun was setting (it was only 4pm!), and we wanted to visit DisneySea again, so had to bid farewell to Disneyland. Luckily, we managed to catch the parade (again) that afternoon.

At DisneySea, we took a stroll to the 'Fortress Explorations' at Mediterranean Harbour, where joshua boy had fun tunnelling the crates. Our plan was to see the fireworks before called it a day. However, due to unforseen weather condition, the fireworks display was cancelled. What a disappointment! We only managed to watch the evening water show.

Joshua boy was already sleeping soundly when we left DisneySea. Pappy & I decided to walk to the train station (i think that took us 15-20mins), and that route lead us to another shopping centre, Ikspiari, which contains 140 shops and restaurants. We had simple dinner there before heading Maihama Station, where we took the train back to Tokyo Station, and then transferred to Shinjuku Station, and to Okubo Station, which was 3 min walk from our serviced apartment. For the past 3 days, we had been taking the same route to and fro Disney Resort, waiting at the same traffic junction, crossing the same traffic lights, going up the same escalators, going down the same flight of stairs. Pappy's physical fitness was put to test as he had to carry joshua, who was in his stroller, down the stairs. There weren't any escalators coming down nor any lift at Okubo Station. Pappy nearly sprained his back.
