So we move to the city tomorrow and finally leave the Tokyo Disney bubble. I had a fabulous time and yah... it'll be sad to leave. I am looking forward to seeing the sights and sounds of Tokyo though.
... I'm on my 10th Minute Maid Hot Lemonade bottle. I'm going to be sad that I can't get this in the States. It's good and it helps with my cough/sore throat shit I've been hit with since I've gotten here in Japan.
Today I woke up early while Steve and Jeff slept in. I went to Tokyo Disneyland and hit some stuff that I wasn't able to do... Splash Mountain (with all the effect WORKING unlike the domestic Parks!), Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (felt so much like home but didn't), the Enchanted Tiki Room w/ Stitch (it was okay), and the Western River Railway (think Disneyland or Magic Kingdom train but with no stops... even has Primeval World, which I wasn't expecting). I had lunch at the Hungry Bear Restaruant which actually sells curry and not burgers and fries like back at Disneyland.
RANT TIME! Okay, at Tokyo Disneyland in Splash Mountain they have an owl Audio-Animatronic WITHIN FUCKING ARM'S REACH. IN FUCKING ARM'S REACH AND IT'S STILL PERFECT. No vandalism, it wasn't broken (or fuckin' STOLEN), nothing. It was perfect and working. You can't even do something like that in the States because our a lot of members of our society are HORRIBLE PIECES OF CRAP. Back home if they were stupid enough to even have something within arm's reach, it'd be stolen, broken, ripped off, vandalized... you name it. It's really sad that I come here and see, once again, how we can't have nice things because our society just raises people to be disrespectful. Case in point? Snow White's apple.
I went back to the room then and thought that Steve and Jeff would have left for Tokyo DisneySea, but they were still in the room when I got there. So after a little bit we went over to Tokyo DisneySea and saw Legend of Mythica again (this time from the fort which was a completely different perspective then the other day when I saw it). I took video again so I'll have both to show sometime eventually. Did I mention that Legend of Mythica is like a super cool awesome show? Well, it is. That show is fucking awesome.
We then walked around for a bit and just explored a little bit. We went up and walked around the deck of the S.S. Columbia and went down side streets in Med. Harbor and I was just blown away on how much detail was put into little things that most people wouldn't even notice. They definately paid attention to detail and spared no expense.
We also explored a little bit of the Hotel Miracosta... that hotel is OFF-THE-FUCKING-CHAIN. I also spent a little bit watching the Cast Members and what it seems to be their normal operation. I want to take a few things that I observed and start doing some of those things when I'm working at my hotel. It's certainly inspired me.
I took off back towards the room a little early since I was tired. Today is the last day in the bubble and yah... I'll be sad to leave Tokyo Disney Resort. The Cast Members, the Guests, the sights and sounds were just so awesome... though it slightly felt like home and what I was used to, it was very different. I'm blessed for being able to visit this magical place and I can't wait to come back. I'm thinking Spring 2013.
