Lauren and I were talking and we had a hunch that today would be a perfect day to visit Tokyo Disney Land. The main reason behind this reasoning was the fact that many of the Japanese people would no longer be on Golden Week vacation; it ended the previous day for many of them. When we showed up at the entrance to the park, we were excited to find out that our hunch had been accurate! There were hardly any lines and the longest we waited for a ride was 30 minutes to get on Space Mountain!
Since it was the day after Golden Week, the entrance to the park looked like a ghost town.
Tokyo Disney Land is celebrating it's 25th year anniversary this season.
Lauren and I had Mickey waffles for brunch: strawberry/blueberry (left) and maple syrup (right).
Ascending the elevator to Space Mountain.
Lauren and I had fun trying to spin our tea cup as fast as possible. It's hard to spin the whell when your entire upper body is being pulled outward.
Tom Sawyer's Tree House
The Mother Earth Float with Pocahontas
The dancer's costumes in the parade were so vibrant and beautiful.
On this ride, I had a chance to fly my very own spacecraft; although, it only went up and down. :)
The Dream Lights Parade
The Toy Story float with the silly little Martians. 
This Nemo float was one of my favorites.
Mary Poppins!
There were two cute little girls who sat next to me with their mother. I think they enjoyed the parade as much as I did.
The castle was also lit up for the parade.Random Side Note: I must clarify that my previous trip had been to Tokyo Disney Sea and not Tokyo Disney Land. The parks are right next to each other but both is very different. According to Lauren (who is a Disney expert), Tokyo Disney Land is modeled after Disney Land in America while Tokyo Disney Sea is unique to Japan. Since I had never been to any of the Disney Parks before I came to Japan, I figured it was a good idea for me to see what both parks were like. Of course, Lauren didn't mind going as well. :)
