Day 11

Today we went to Tokyo Disneyland! Yay! Which is pretty much exactly like regular Disneyland except for they tell you to please remain seated with your arms inside the ride at all times in Japanese instead of English. It was so much fun though. We managed going on a day that was not crowded at all, so we pretty much walked right onto any ride we wanted. We did the teacups, Dumbo, It's a Small World, the Merry-go-Round, the Haunted Mansion, (which scared the girls a bit), a Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc., etc., etc.

We watched two parades and ate at the Blue Bayou where you can watch the boats setting off on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Eden was especially excited that she was tall enough to go on Star Tours. They put a little wristband on her and everything and she was just thrilled about that. Olive was too pooped to get jealous and she slept in the stroller while we all traded off going on the more intense rides. Dietrich and I went on Space Mountain a couple of times and it was the funniest thing ever, because the second time we went there was a group of teenage girls riding behind us and they were just screaming and talking in shrill Japanese, that we of course couldn't understand a word of, but that combined with the rush of the ride just sent us both into laughing fits. It was really a great day though. We all enjoyed ourselves.
