 | disneygeek.com - Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pictures |
- Starting off with a quick look at something I forgot to take a picture of yesterday. A cast member gave us a birthday sticker for the 35th.
- Today was a much more promising day weather wise. A look outside at 6:30am.
- You could see the Tokyo Skyline fairly clear today.
- Moving over to the other side of the hotel and a look at a much calmer Tokyo Bay.
- Looking toward Mt. Fuji, no sign of the mountain though.. so it was clear but not that clear.
- A look outside after breakfast.. it was 7:30am
- A closer look at the Soaring building.
- A closer look at Cinderella Castle

- Here are some video clips of the Maritime Band performing.

- Inside you are split up half going to each theater/side.
- The preshow is an introduction, assuming to the tech but it was in Japanese with no captions or translation so not quite sure.

- Mt. Prometheus towering over Port Discovery.
- Goofy was roaming around taking pictures and greeting guests.

- No wait for the Aquatopoia..
- Some pictures from onboard the Aquatopia
- After my ride I walked quickly back to the Mediterranean Harbor to catch the 9:30am show. This was snapped at 9:27am so I was cutting it close.
