Day 6 - Disneyland @ 08:23
Day 6 - TO DISNEYLAND
In the morning, we woke up at the most fanciest Onsen hotel I've ever been to and we ate the most elegant and intricate breakfast I've ever had my whole life.
I don't even know a quarter of the food served here
After breakfast, we took a super long bus ride from Chiba to Tokyo!
And which part of Tokyo did we go?
TOKYO DISNEYLAND!
Look at the sun.
It's so pretty and it was so bright.
And the weather was still so cooling.
This time, our accommodation is at Sunroute Plaza Tokyo, one of the hotels working with Tokyo Disneyland.
Can you just look at that mickey mouse window and tell me that's not cute-
We reached the hotel early by around 2 hours.
So we had our luggages tagged with our names and room number and the staff will bring them up to our rooms.
In the meantime, we ate lunch at the hotel restaurant and rested a while.
Our hotel room key is kept inside here, together with information on shuttle bus timings and hotel information
Our hotel actually had a convenience store, an official disney store selling lots of disney goods, and even an arcade, where we are able to take purikura!
After exploring the hotel, we took the shuttle bus to Disneyland.

The Disneyland Train Station
The train station is only used to bring us to 4 different parts of the disney resort, such as DisneySEA and the official disney hotel.

The Entrance to Disneyland
Even though we went there on a weekday afternoon, there were still many people there.
(despite the photos showing otherwise)
The moment you step inside Disneyland, the ambience is so much different and it already felt super fantasy-like with the fairytale architecture with all the pretty details.
Every building in each section is just too pretty!
I went together with Lynn, Genia, Danielle and Zi Ning for the day and our first ride was Star Tours, which is like a 3D ride (similar to the Transformers one at USS)
We waited one hour for this, since our fastpass was used for Space Mountain.
The robots were so cool *w*)b
After our ride, we wanted to watch a show but apparently, it is based on luck whether you are able to get the ticket to the show or not.
We wanted to watch the 'Once Upon A Time' but sadly, we didn't get the tickets.
But we did get one for One's Man's Dream.
Our ticket to the show
From Tomorrowland, we walked to Toontown, where there were so so so many people.
And kids.
The architecture of this area is just co cute and pretty, like it came out from a picture book.

Soon after, we went back to Tomorrowland to watch One Man's Dream!
The design was so intricate that the curtain has tiny lights on it to create a fairy dust effect!
The entire show and song was in Japanese but even if you don't understand the language, one is able to still enjoy the music and the dance itself!
The 3 Classic Princesses, Snow While, Sleeping Beauty & Cinderella
The pictures don't do the performance much justice and it is much better to try to watch it in real life for yourself!
In overall, the performance was really cheerful and fun and if possible, I would love to watch it again.
Sun set really early and when we walked back to the World Bazzaar, it was already dark.
In the night sky, the lighting on the buildings make the entire place very fairy-tale and fantasy-like and just simply stunning.
Words can't describe the atmosphere and the feeling we have experienced.
For dinner, Genia, Danielle and I went to Sweetheart Bakery to buy our dinner.
While the bread and pastries were priced higher than average, they tasted really good.
And how can one resist buying a melon bread shaped like Mike?
As we ate, we watched the Electric Lights Parade!
Loud cheerful fantasy music played from the speakers as the various bright and colourful floats made their way down the road.
Spot Mickey!
Alice from Alice in Wonderland is apparently very popular in Japan I think.
Kids were screaming 'ALICEEEEE' as her float passed by.
Snow White's float is one of the prettiest in my opinion.
The pretty tree and flower lights are so beautiful!
The Genie Float, which turned into many various colours
(tho I took the original blue colour version only)
After the parade, we wanted to stay around for the special Halloween fireworks display but due to the wind direction and strong winds, there was an announcement playing that the fireworks display has been cancelled. At that moment, we were so disappointed but decided to rush to the other rides first, while there wasn't any queue (since people were still camping at various firework viewing spots).
After riding the Pirates of the Carribean ride, we walked around somemore and guess what?
THERE WAS A FIREWORK DISPLAY AFTER ALL.
Sadly, we only caught the end of the display but its was still pretty nonetheless.
And that wraps up on Day 6!
