Tokyo Disney



















Well we did it. We survived the Tokyo Disney experience! We got up around 8 and ate a big breakfast and started on the walk to the subway. 3 trains later and short "wrong direction train", we were dropped off at the front gates of Disney. Immediately as we got off the train the girls saw the princess caslte and were very excited. Reagan was hardly able to contain herself as she was waving and all smiles. We got inside and immediately went to shopping. We were specifically looking for dresses for the girls to wear, however unable to find a suitable option. We decided to hit the rides and first up "Pirates of the Carribbean". Devon freaked and so we left him at the entrance and took the girls. This is probably not the ride you want to break in the young ones with. Ray just about had a heart attack at the initial drop off. For the rest of the ride and for the day, every ride we went on she was frozen and wouldn't even move her head to see the ride. Her heart rate seriously jump and was beating like a hummingbird flapping its wings. Crazy fast! From there we decided a more low key event would be fitting so we climbed the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house. The kids seemed to enjoy that and Ray was slightly more happy. We were able to hit a lot of the rides and even saw the night parade and fireworks. The kids were happy to see the princesses and all of the lights. As it was time to leave Ray stole the show with her diaper dancing at the front gate. Everyone thought it was pretty funny. She had her shorts around her ankles and she was running around because she didn't want to leave the princess castle. We finally got her under control and went shopping for their dresses again. We ended up going the Disney Resort Hotel and purchased a Cinderella and Snow White dress. Devon opted for a toy of his choosing, at a time of his choosing. As we boarded the train Ray passed out and Makenley and Devon were still smiles and going strong. 2 train rides later and a short cab home they passed out in their beds. A good day.
