A long overdue post, in the year 2007, my childhood dreamcame true. Finally I got to visit Disneyland. That’s Tokyo Disneyland!! Tokyo Disneyland was the first Disneyland tobe built outside of the USA and was opened on April 1983 (28 years ago!!) That’slong!
To date, there are seven themed areas in the park: the WorldBazaar; the four classic Disney lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland andTomorrowland; and two mini-lands: Critter Country and Mickey'sToontown. The park is noted for its extensive open spaces, to accommodate thelarge crowds that visit the park. In the year 2009, Tokyo Disneylandhosted approximately 13.65 million guests, ranking it as the third-most visitedtheme park in the world. (Wikipedia, 2012).
Let’s hop into the dreamland!!

The Cinderella Castle. That's my dream to be able to see one actually. Now it's a dream come true!

~TOKYO DISNEYLAND AT NIGHT~

The ticket price at that time 5200 yen (Approx. RM150)

One of the Disney's Hotel Resort

That's me 5 years ago, with one of the Disney's Classical Character, Fifer, one of the three piglets. Until now whenever I see this picture of Fifer, I feel like I want to slap this pig for fun...hahhaahhaah

Enter my very first theme park ride!! The Pirates of the Caribbean

The queue was not that long and it only took about 30 in the line. Surprisingly, not that many visitors though

As far as I could remember, my second ride was the Toy Story's Buzz lightyear.

To infinity and beyond!! This ride is all about getting points by shooting the Evil Emperor Zurg. On the photo above, the head of the Buzz Lightyear is actually lighted up by a hologram~ That's quite an impressive technology 5 years ago.

My next ride was the Haunted Mansion in Fantasyland

This ride was one of the most impressive ride, the 'ghost' was sooo realll which was lighted by hologram as well..the mansion was not scary at all. In fact it was the funniest and most fun haunted mansion ever!

The next ride I would say, is strictly for kids, Alice in Wonderland's "It's a Small World After All"

It's a small world after all. I took this ride in Hong Kong Disneyland as well and heck, it's all the same..I would say that the ride is very colorful but I dozed off twice in Tokyo and Hong Kong during the trip...hahahaha

Beautiful Night Illumination

Beautiful garden of the Queen of Heart's Army

See the reason why I said it's strictly for kids? tonnes of baby carts being left here while the parents too their kids for the ride..hehe

Need a thrill ride??

This is it! The Big Thunder Mountain Roller Coaster Ride. Be very sure to obtain a 'fast past' for this ride and try catch a night ride as you will be able to spectate the whole beautiful night view of Tokyo Disneyland

Next is the Space Mountain

The rocket at Space Mountain, one of the most surprising and spectacular ride in Tokyo Disneyland. You will be taken into a dark ride where there are beautiful stars around and suddenly the ride speed up like a roller coaster and...... you need to try it and experience it.

The final ride (park) of the magical day is the exploration of Pooh's Hunny Hunt House, yes it's Winnie the Pooh

Explore yourself into the Big Book if Pooh's Hunny Hunt

Have a cuppa and chill! "There's so much to do here", says Mickey Mouse

As the trip was at the middle of December, you could expect beautiful Christmas illumination besides the standard street performance and fireworks at the end of the day.
