Before we headed to Country Bear Jamboree, we decided to prepare for the experience by going on a quest to find the Mile Long Bar. If you’re not aware, I’m a huge fan of the Country Bear Jamboree. It ranks among my all-time favorite Disney attractions, and when people tell me that they don’t like
It’s been a while, and in case you forgot or missed it, we left off the previous installment at the end of a day in Tokyo DisneySea, with Fantasmic!, dinner at Cafe Portofino, and some nighttime photography in Mysterious Island, Arabian Coast, and other locations before calling it a night. The next morning was my
After lunch, we didn’t have much time to get back to Mediterranean Harbor before Legend of Mythica started. It fortunately wasn’t too busy of a day, and we had a fairly good view, even showing up only 15 minutes before the show started. Mythica has an interesting storyline involving the dynamic of the human and
Prior to our trip, when I roughly planned the itinerary, I didn’t give much thought to what “Land of the Rising Sun” means. I quickly surmised what it means when I checked sunrise times to figure out when I’d have to be up if I wanted to photograph the sunrise. Each morning while we were
First off, apologies for the two week gap between installments in this trip report. Each part takes a lot of time to put together…and I may or may not have gotten a bit distracted by Disney Infinity! After our snack fest in Adventureland, we crossed the Hub and headed back to Tomorrowland. Since there are
The next day would be our first visit to Tokyo Disneyland. We were enthusiastic about this thanks to a few key attractions, like Pooh’s Hunny Hunt and Monster’s Inc. Ride and Go Seek, but otherwise the real draw was probably snacking and just wandering around to see details. We had heard that it was essentially
After I picked my jaw up off the floor from my experience on Sindbad’s Storybook Voyage, I left the Arabian Coast and did some wandering. First stop was Mysterious Island, where I had some fortunate timing to catch Mount Prometheus erupting. I still prefer Spaceship Earth and the stateside castles, but Mount Prometheus has firmly
Arriving in Port Discovery, we deboarded the DisneySea Electric Railroad. Over the course of the trip, we didn’t spend a ton of time in Port Discovery. It was a cool land, but was my least favorite in Tokyo DisneySea. There are only two attractions there (three counting the Electric Railroad), the land was small, and
It’s probably a good thing the Tokyo parks don’t have the marathon hours that the Magic Kingdom sometimes does, as arriving for rope drop was essential–or so we heard–at Tokyo Disney Resort. Everything I had read suggested arriving about 30 minutes prior to park opening and running once inside. We left our hotel for Tokyo
Tokyo Disney Resort, consisting of Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, hotels and some other stuff, is the holy grail for most Disney theme park fans–it occupied the top slot on our bucket list for a few years beating out surely incredible experiences like meeting Christopher Walken and taking a chimpanzee surfing. We’ve been trying to visit
