So in the meantime I will blog more about Tokyo Disneyland! One day I will get back to the ins and out of Tokyo and Kyoto but I have tons of Disney pictures! I must share them with the world. Plus there must be some over the top Disney fans like me who want to see every part of the park right?
:( Orlando no longer has a Toontown...so sad.
After watching the Easter Wonderland parade it was time to explore the park! XD I can't remember the last time I watched a parade so early but I guess I didn't want to miss out. But now it is time for picture taking!
Right now our Toontown area is under a big slab of cement. :(
This very helpful child is pointing the way to fun!
Our Toontown in Orlando was torn down early 2011. But I believe this Toontown is closer to the California Toontown anyway. Either way I was like AWWWW ours is gone sadface. So I think we went overboard taking pictures.
Waves to Donald Duck. Never been a HUGE fan of him. Maybe because he sounds like a teacher from Peanuts. Can't understand a word out of his mouth!
But I guess Daisy sees something in him. XD I liked the random pieces of garden art if you would. Little nice touches and there. I could probably spend the entire day just taking pictures at ANY Disney and still not capture everything.
View of Donald's Boat from inside the Chipmunk Tree.
Front of Goofy's house. He makes one scary scarecrow. Apparently not scary enough but still. At our old Toontown the meet and greet for Disney had a barn theme with fun shaped vegetables. This is the closest we saw to that at Tokyo Disneyland.
Front of Goofy's house. Since we left this house has become an attraction. I am not sure what it was before but now it is the future home of Goofy's Paint n Play House. I am not sure what it is all about, something about kids applying paint to different scenes. It is coming soon though.
Time to visit Chip and Dale's Treehouse. The structure is not big enough to house a meet and greet. More like a playground type area that is way better themed and not full of potential dangers.
There were several "things" you could do to help Chip and Dale gather nuts. A lever here, a rope here. We have something similar to this in the queue area of the Winnie the Pooh ride. If you have small kids it is a nice escape to get away from the crowds. If you are an adult take your few pictures and move along. XD
There are several snack shacks throughout Toontown. As long they don't sell popcorn it appears there will be no wait. XD Of course I am convinced this was a totally off day so maybe I am a liar. Also what is up with that tree X__X
Front of Mickey's House! WOOHOO! Our Mickey must be homeless. :( A ward of the state. I believe it was around 11 at the time and the wait was 45 minutes? We will have to come back later to see Mickey. He is a must see as there will be handlers for him and I am guaranteed a picture.
And we are back! One of the last things we did before we left the park was see Mickey. The line was extremely short. So short we had NO TIME to take pictures inside of his house. Like just keep going as the people from the last parade were starting to arrive. :( Sorry I don't have any to show you. It wasn't as Hidden Micky laden as the Disney World one though.
By the time we stopped we were in the...garage area? I believe so. Mickey had several costumes laying around and random chickens all over the place. By this time my husband's camera was starting to die and mine wasn't appreciating the darkness. So again sorry for the lack o pictures. But maybe next time we will wait 45 minutes for a picture just to take fun pictures...and I am not being sarcastic. XD
Minnie's House didn't have a meet and greet so there was no wait to go inside. WAI now I miss our Minnie's House. X__X I only went in there one time, like I didn't know it existed. So I miss something that I only saw once.
Maybe there is a Minnie meet and greet at different types of the day? Or maybe just going in the house needs a queue. Either way there was no line. If there was I would have more time to stop and take more pictures. XD The well was cute though.
Inside Minnie's house. It is completely different from the one that was at Disney World. That and it wasn't crowded at all. But I seem to be in most of the pictures so I will just post the other ones. XD Clearly Minne is living in the 1950's. XD
A snack for me? Why yes I am getting hungry. We will need to get a pit stop soon but for now more pictures.
I would have borrowed some food from Minnie but all she had was cheese. I hear cheese can get really expensive in Japan though. XO Maybe they aren't fond of Cheese Wiz.
NO! I will save my hungers for a sit down restaurant. I believe though all three of these "stands" had different types of food. My husband checked the menu but now I can't remember. They must have been different as people are looking at the menus deciding which line to get in.
A lot of the building fronts in this area were just for show, picture taking areas. XD A way to draw crowds away from shows and rides without having the extra manpower behind it. Who doesn't want 2193727 pictures of themselves at Disney?
Now onto an area completely new to me! Disney World does not have a Roger Rabbit area. I actually thought it was kinda weird to even include that in Disney. I guess maybe it would go more with MGM, with the muppets and other "Not Disney cartoons" movies. But it is still time of pictures as I remember a movie that made me cry for shoes.
I thought this area was pretty well themed. Fun cartoony buildings, random golf balls, and some stores with silly toys and what not.
I like how the buildings are so squished and smushed looking. Like someone sat on them, pulled them like taffy, and pretended like nothing happened. I am not sure if this area is really popular with the Japanese though. It was very dead and easy to snap pictures with minimum people in the shot.
A park with no people. XD Good thing or they could have been injured!
There is one ride in the Roger Rabbit portion of Toontown. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. GET IT! My husband said the ride was rather jerky but I liked it. But I am kinda of a wimp when it comes to ride. I would compare it to the Cat in the Hat ride at Universal Studios.
After our one ride it was time for more pictures. These boxes made different noises when you lifted up the lids. One kid kept freaking out...then would open the box again. Crazy kid!
A store that you could actually go into! XD We spent a little time in there trying on hats and what not. I wish the stores were more themed and had special, only at this location merchandise. They did have some golf balls that I didn't see anywhere else though.
It is about time to head out of Toontown and into Fantasyland. XD So many more pictures to go!

Tokyo Disney is just exactly the same as in US. My family and I went there for an Asian vacation and of course who could ever forget to visit Disney Land. Anyway, if you plan to bring your twins for a vacation, never fail to have Stroller for twins
Anne- I have heard some of the "new" things to me are in the CA Disneyland. XD I guess that is a good thing I have never been to that one. Still it felt like a whole different Disney even though many things were the same.
