Japan Day 13 P2

After Jungle Cruise, it's time for another round of queueing @ The Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare.

We queued for almost 1hr before we were ushered into the building, which proved to be a great disappointment. Honestly, I really couldn't remember what was the ride about (it has been almost 6 months!) but I do recall that it wasn't scary at all.

We left Adventureland & went straight to Tomorrowland. A light-hearted combination of science and imagination have created this fun and distinctive peek into the future. Rocketing through the galaxy, attending the "Inventor of the Year" award ceremony, touring the stars and helping Buzz Lightyear defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg are just a few of the adventures that await us in Tomorrowland.

Space Mountain, a themed indoor roller coaster where you will be strapped into one of the rockets and blasting off for a thrilling ride into outer space. I was pretty dizzy when I emerged from the ride, but it was one of the thrilling rides that you can find in the whole of Tokyo Disneyland.

In the waiting area to attend the "Inventor of the Year" award from the Imagination Institution. This is an adaption from the Disney movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. When Professor Wayne Szalinski arrives to receive the award, the audience get caught up in a "little" adventure ....Pretty interesting and relaxing given that we just went through the (head-throbbing) roller coaster.

Grabbing pipping hot churros at Lite Bite Satellite. Wiki to the rescue:

"Churros, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, are fried-dough pastry-based snacks, sometimes made from potato dough, that originated in Spain. There are 2 types of churros in Spain. One is thin (and usually knotted) and the other, especially popular in Madrid, is long and thick. Both are normally eaten during breakfast, dipped in hot chocolate"

"Fantasyland is dedicated to the young at heart and to those who believe that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true."
Walt Disney

The icon of Tokyo Disneyland, the magical Cinderella castle located in Fantasyland while the icon of Hong Kong Disneyland is Sleeping Beauty Castle. This castle itself plays a role in the Magic Kingdom's fireworks show, where audiences are captivated in the enchanting display of fireworks & music.

Waiting for the parade to start ~ The park goers came prepared with their own mats & looked all set to have a mini picnic!

Not to be outdone by them, Leecher bought the burger set, lol

It's always a blessing to have hot pipping food in extremely cold weather. Top it up with a cup of hot chocolate ....Yums!

Cute Snowman making their appearance first, dancing & swaying to the sound of music, kicking off the start of a winter-wonderland themed parade. They looked so huggable!

Snowman enjoying their slide down the snow, featuring Donald & Daisy Duck .... how I wished I am in Hokkaido playing snow fighting with Leecher!

Reindeers .... why there's no Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? :(

My fave Winnie The Pooh! *waves madly*

Toy Story: featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody & Squeeze Toy Aliens. In fact, Toy Story was the first Disney/Pixar film collaboration. I'm a great fan of Pixar film & no prizes for guessing which is my all time fave :)

Pluto & Goofy seemed like they were in a hurry to distribute presents ... where's mine?

Mickey & Minnie Mouse in their winter wear.

How can we forget Cinderella, when she has her castle as the icon of Tokyo Disneyland?

Chip & Dale ... they were busy flirting with the audiences!

Finally, the giant Xmas tree made its debut & closely followed by ......

Santa Clause himself! Hello Santa, I've been a good girl this year. Will you make my wish come true?
