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.
"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.
In front of Sorcerer Mickey mini fountain
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?
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?
Even little kids are able to drive it on their own.
Leecher gets to drive, to curb his "driving" thirst. The whole circuit only lasted for 5 min and I almost dozed off in the car *speak vol of Leecher's "driving skills"*
Display car for picture taking & Leecher is not going to give up any chances at taking pictures with toy cars, lol.
Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters features the space-suited character Buzz Lightyear.
We missed this ride in HK disneyland but it was superb fun in Tokyo Disneyland! It was a shooting gallery cum dark ride, where we had a fun time shooting at the targets. Scores are displayed on the ride & I beat Leecher hands down, hooray!
Toontown, where you can explore the house of Toontown's most famous resident.
A town bursting with color and cartoon verve. There's a zany, uproarious downtown, a loony town square, and a suburban neighborhood where Disney characters live, work, and play.
Mickey's mailbox, filled with letters from fans all over the world.
Meet Mickey! I wouldn't give up the chance to meet Mickey in person, but .......
70 mins wait :(
Patiently waiting while making up my mind to take tons of pictures inside the house as compensation. Going to snap every single detail: cups, phones, chairs, clothes, Xmas tree etc.
Xmas Tree with no presents? I hope I can have a huge Xmas tree filled with presents (from Leecher to me!) next time in our house :)
Even Mickey loves hot chocolate on a cold day!
Cosy couch :)
Haha, we literally took every single detail of the house to make up for our 70 mins wait. Now we know why the wait is so long, cuz everyone has the same mentality as us.
Can my gloves pass off as Mickey's gloves? heehee
A tour in Mickey's backyard Movie Barn.
Met Mickey in person! *hugs hugs hugs*
How can we forget Leecher in Mickey's car?
