of mice and men ...

Mickey and Walt.

Having just returned from Disney World it occurred to me that I had not yet shared from my visit to DisneySea while in Tokyo.

With the kiddo living less than 30 minutes from Tokyo Disney there was never any question of whether or not we would go to Disney - only whether it would be DisneySea or Tokyo Disney.  We went with DisneySea.
















All-in-all it had similar tones, but a very different experience than what I have had at Disney World or DisneyLand.  Sure the lines, the rides, the characters are all there in Disney fashion.  But I found the Disney fanaticism to be second to none, and the determination to get good seating/standing for parades and/or shows bordering on excessive. 
There was also an incredible fascination with Duffy (barely noticed here); we're talking on the level of Mickey.

As for our recent trip ...
 just to prove that when you think you have seen it all and experienced it all at Disney, 
they pull out something that makes you go awe. 



The Frozen take on Cinderella's Castle is probably one of my favorites;



the Osborne Family pulled out all the stops with their final light display;

Magic Kingdom fireworks never disappoint;



and hands down, Starbucks was my favorite ride,
plus, who doesn't like to have little Mickey heads dot the i(s) in your name.

  7. I remember my VERY first visit to ANY Disneyland was Tokyo Disneyland, right after they opened... Back in the 80's. All the rides, voices and songs were in Japanese. Great shots Nicki

  9. I have a serious love/hate relationship with the Disney parks. Everything is so beautiful but I can't "do" those crowds anymore. The hubs is really bugging me to go and I am afraid to tell him I just don't love it. How can one not love Disney??!!

    Great night/light shots and I really love their fireworks show!!
