Day 18 January 5, 2015

Tokyo Disneyland Day 1

Good morning from Japan! We had to wake up very early today to catch our flight at Kansai International Airport (KIX) going to Haneda Airport. Our chosen carrier for this flight is All Nippon Airlines or simply ANA. I was amazed because the plane used for this 1-hour flight was quite big compared to the planes we use in the Philippines and even the one that carried us to Japan.

It's a good choice...

Saw Mt. Fuji for the first time

Anyways going back to our flight. It was about two-thirds of the flight when we saw what most tourists in Japan wanted to see -the majestic Mt. Fuji. It was a scene out of my dreams. From my seat (window seat on the left side of the plane), I got the privilege of seeing the most famous volcano in Japan like a VIP at a sold-out concert.

Just landed at Haneda Airport!

Bus to Tokyo Disneyland!

From Haneda Airport, we immediately boarded a bus that brought us to our destination -Tokyo Disneyland. This super famous theme park really lived up to its name. Die-hard Disney fans could be seen swarming every Disney character mascot on sight (some even give gifts and letters to these mascots). Once one enters the theme park, the Cinderella Castle gives visitors the magical feel that every kid and kid at heart dreams of.

On the first day of our 3-day Disney theme park adventure we got to experience the following attractions: (Thanks to the FastPass we got to enjoy them without spending too much time falling inline)

Hello Mickey!

Dream fulfilled!

Aside from those we also got the chance to watch several parades throughout the day. I was dazzled most of all by the magical night parade which also capped up our first day in Tokyo Disneyland.
