Day 3 was dedicated to being in Disneyland – I’ve been every single time I’ve come to Tokyo and in fact, I’ll probably go for the evening session to see the fireworks and parade next time.

We managed to arrive at around about 9:30am – with no queues getting into the park and no issues 🙂 the weather was fantastic, so we took a photo just before going into the world bazaar entry section.

First thing we did was tick off a “bucket list” moment for Annie – going on a rollercoaster 🙂 she actually chose Big Thunder Mountain – that’s my girl! Jumping straight in 🙂

I didn’t take any footage – but Annie braved the rollercoaster (I love them) – and she wasn’t even on shaky legs when we exited the ride! Although, we decided to have a break and get a quick bite to eat, so we walked backwards slightly to the New Orleans area, to Cafe Orleans.

The food was all New Orleans inspired, with a delicious Gumbo and Focaccia sandwich. It was actually quite decent, and surprisingly satisfying! Probably a solid 7/10.

Annie actually came up with a really sweet, cute idea – a few times before I had seen these “pressed 100 yen medallion” machines that spit out token memorabilia. It turns out each distinct area in the park has a machine, and accordingly themed medallions.

We caught the afternoon parade, which actually was more of a problem than a feature for us – as it cuts the paths in the park, making navigating difficult, we ended up being stuck on the Westernland/Jungle side of the park and couldn’t make our way to the other side till the parade was done.

Once we managed to make our way round to Fantasyland – of course, everyone’s favourite Winnie the Pooh and Beauty and the Beast rides (these are two major favourites with the crowds at the park) had to be ridden.

Winnie the Pooh was actually a 2 hour wait, the line was super slow – and they didn’t allow for fast-pass selection, so we had no choice. We enjoyed the ride, and the wait wasn’t horrible as we got to chat and people watch and chill together. We discovered every time I leaned or rested somewhere for a break, the line would proceed 😂 it became a bit of a meme for us!

We then decided to hit up the village – sadly no Gaston or Belle walking around today, but we headed to the tavern for some food too!

Honestly, the food was the best here. Maybe we were just craving heavy, carby foods – but it was really satisfying, a solid 8/10 for this.

We also ended up collecting a few more medallions along the way! All that was left to collect were the Futuretown ones, and we’d have them all!

Bellies full, we made our way to the Beauty and the Beast ride, suffice to say – the queue was long! Longer than Winnie the Pooh 😮

The ride was great, it’s very similar to Winnie the Pooh – but the effects are better. It’s definitely a great ride, but I think the time commitment required to get on it is too great. Winnie the Pooh’s ride remained the better of the two for Annie and I.

It was evening as things drew to a close – and of course, we managed to catch a selfie in front of Disney Castle!

And we managed to catch all the medallions! Sadly, Space Mountain was still under maintenance when we walked by 🙁

Disneyland remains a great attraction to see and do. Even without hopping on all the rides, there’s so many food options that I’ve yet to try, and I’ve eaten something different every single time I’ve been there. I’d go again just for enjoying the environment, the ambience, and the food 🙂
