The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.

• Looking toward Cinderella Castle at 6am.. it was just starting to get light outside.
• Tokyo Disneyland Hotel in the distance.
• Come 7am it was still overcast and cold looking but brighter.
• A traffic jam of resort cruisers leaving the Bayside Station
• Tokyo DisneySea this morning.
• The upper level driveway at the Sheraton was blocked off for the rest of our trip as they did some road work.
• This morning there were a lot of buses lined up out front of the hotel waiting to pick people up.
• A monorail passing overhead as we crossed the street.
• Looking back at the hotel. Notice the people with suits. They worked for the hotel and bus line and were there to help cross the street.
• Approaching Bayside Station. All is quiet this morning, it was just past 8am.
• Some guests waiting upstairs but not a big crowd. DisneySea opened at 8 and Disneyland not till 9.
• Some plants and trees in the tree farm along the way. The one in the middle was interesting.. just laying there with no box.
• Onboard the monorail. We had a 15th anniversary one this morning.
• Since it was not even 8:30 yet and the thought of standing in line a half hour did not sound fun we went and grabbed breakfast at Beckers.
• The view from my table for breakfast.
• Guests arriving via train this morning.
• We decided to walk to the park vs going back to catch the monorail.
• There were thousands of birds flying around this morning in formations like this.
• A backup at security.. felt like I was at Disneyland.
• We opted to keep walking and look for a shorter wait. Which we succeeded. Found only 2-3 people per line further on.
• 10 Minutes until opening. The lines were not that long this morning.
• The backup at security continued to grow.
• A quick look at ticket prices if you were curious.
• Funny instead of saying no FastPass they just say it has ended for the day.. at the day has not even begun yet.
• Almost there.. it was 10 after now.
• Yeah inside Tokyo Disneyland, about 9:14am.
• We will double back to this. There were a lot of guests wanting their picture taken this morning.
• Stopped by guest relations to get English time schedules. Here is their Christmas tree.
• Stepping into World Bazaar.
• Looking toward Adventureland down Center street
• The Disney Gallery is closed to make way for a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
• Entering the central plaza
• Banners in the area.
• The StarJets days are numbered. They will be removed as part of the Fantasyland expansion project.
• Quiet morning in Tomorrowland.
• Guests already had their spaces staked out for Disney Christmas Stories parade. The first one is at 10:40am. It is 9:20am.
• The line for FastPasses for Poohs Hunny Hunt
• The attraction was across the walkway and already had a standby wait well over an hour and growing.
• Almost there.
• Picked up my FastPass at 9:30am for early afternoon, not bad.
• Passed by Small World
• Some restrooms had these Mickey soap dispensers.
• We tried the simple instructions and failed.
• En route to our first attraction of the day, Haunted Mansion Holiday.
• A posted 15 minute wait. Turned out to be only 10.
• The Mansion here is modeled after the Florida version. Fun to see it decorated.
• The queue had a lot of quests in it, but no FastPass return yet so it moved quickly.
• Pumpkins overlooking the queue.
• If you were curious the tombstones are in English here.
• It feels odd to be in line for the Mansion and look out and see Dumbo and Cinderella Castle.
• Noticed these signs all around.. they did not jump out at me last year.
• Time to enter the mansion.
• The foyer decorations.
• The loading area.. had to shoot while walking in the dark.. so this is the best I got this trip through.
• Time to board.
• Zero decorating the library
• Sally listing to some music. (There were a set of figures above as you start but it was too dark and I missed the picture).
• The endless hallway.
• Madam Leota does not float around.
• The gingerbread house in the dining room.
• Going through the attic.
• Down into the graveyard.
• No Oogie and spinning wheel, instead these three where the hitchhiking ghosts usually are.
• Exiting.
• Stroller parking is much more organized here.
• Passing by Critter Country.
• The crowds were growing for the parade. It was now 10:05 so 35 minutes to go.
• Not enough time to squeeze in a visit to the Country Bears though.
• A look at Westernland decorations.
• Super-Duper Jimpin Time was wrapping up as I walked by.
• The Omnibus was heading backstage.
