Last day in Tokyo

Breakfast at the hotel before starting the day






Time to go

We did not know why there was no fireworks display that night, so we left early





Walking to the metro station



This station is right in front of Tokyo Disneyland

Blue Bayou Restaurant

We had our lunch here. This restaurant is in an enclosed building but gives the diners the illusion the they are dining in an outdoor restaurant at night








Tokyo Disneyland

This is the first Disneyland to be built outside the US and completed in 1983. Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are the only Disney parks not owned by The Walt Disney Company. They are owned by The Oriental Land Company (a Japanese company) which licenses the theme from The Walt Disney Company.







We were here





Star Wars: The Adventure Continue





Haunted Mansion



It's a small world after all...



Captain EO with Michael Jackson


This Disneyland is much bigger that the one in Hong Kong and definitely more enjoyable
