 | disneygeek.com - Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pictures |
- My first glimpse of Tokyo. It was cloudy/overcast and with the wing I could not see much. Thought I may have seen Disney on approach but hard to tell and I could not get a picture.
- Passed over this small runway near touchdown.
- Walking through the Tokyo airport toward customs.. it was a long hike. We were at the second to last gate.
- After customs and waiting an hour it was time to catch our bus to Disney.
- A vending machine for bus tickets. We bought ours inside from a human to ensure we did it correctly.
- We are the last stop.. Hilton Tokyo Bay.
- The bus stopped at two other terminals so we drove in circles around the airport for a while before leaving.
- This is where we started... the plane is on the other side of that building.
- You can see an engine/wing barely.. but we kept circling..
- Here is a short video clip driving around on the bus.
- Some cherry blossoms are still visible along the road.
- Heading toward downtown.
- Some shots along the highway to pass the time.
- Found this to be a confusing sign at freeway speed.
- My first glimpse of something I knew... Space Mountain in the middle of this picture beyond the rail line.
- To the left Disneyland.. in the middle DisneySea and on the right the hotels.
- Cinderella Castle.. so odd to be driving along the freeway and see it.
- The Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.
- A parking booth.. looked like an overflow or cast member lot.
- The Disney exit.
- The Bon Voyage Store at the Resort Gateway.
- My first monorail sighting..
- A resort cruiser bus. These are shuttle buses to from the various hotels.
- We circled the property so it was a nice introduction.
- Passing by the Disney Ambassador Hotel
- Overhead a monorail garage/round house.
- A very large parking structure as we pass DisneySea. It is larger than the Mickey and Friends garage at Disneyland.
- To the right DisneySea.. to the left Tokyo Bay.
- Almost there...
- Bayside Station. This is where you catch the monorail.

- My first glimpse of the Hotel Mira Costa at DisneySea
- We exited at the Gateway Station. This is the 2nd stop from where we got on.
- We headed to Ikspiari for dinner and found a familiar location for dinner.
- Thought this was interesting. Umbrellas you can borrow for your time at the Ikspiari, for free.
- A quick look around while we waited to be seated. Had about a 20 min wait. Given it was a Saturday night, not bad.
- I heard music and went to the end of the walkway and found out there was a concert going on in front of the Disney Store
- I never caught her name but she sang some Disney songs and there was a large crowd there to see her.
- After dinner we walked around and the press was there talking with the performer.
- My pictures did not come out well.. here is the best of the group. I would not make a good paparazzi
- Looking up. I was on the third floor for dinner and the first shots of this area.
- Some random shots as I walked through Ikspiari
- Another entrance to the Disney Store
- Looking inside. It was a fairly typical Disney Store like you would find in a mall.
