After breakfast we walked back to the JR station. On the way Jordan saw a sign for an arcade, so we went in. It was empty, but it was not what we expected. It was set up entirely for Pachinko. This is Japan's gambling game. These seemed to be open from early in the morning to way early in...

Here are the beds all rolled out and made up. They do not make the beds for you at the hotel, which is fine because they don't know when I want to sleep and when I want to sit. I had my best sleeps of the trip on those futons. They were very comfortable! It was an experience, but it was a...

I should have mentioned in my previous post is that the reason we had so little time at Fuji was because we were trying to catch the express train back to Otsuki for Tokyo. We made it back to the platform with about 5 minutes to spare. Our train back to Otsuki wasn't nearly as adorable as our...

It was so bright out that if we tried to take selfies with the mountain in the background it would just wash out. We spent about half an hour around the lake, but it wasn't enough time! I really wish that I had done more research and had gotten up super early to go and see Fuji. The...

We knew that Fuji was behind us, so as we were walking we kept looking back to see if we could finally see it. Then, suddenly, there she was. It was nothing short of beautiful!

There were three stations for Fuji. We were heading to the third stop. The first or second stop was an amusement park. There were several roller coasters there, and it took all I had in me not to just take off running off of the train when we got there. I mean an amusement park with views of...

The bullet train ride to Otsuki was very scenic. Japan's countryside is beautiful! When we arrived at Otsuki we switched over to a private line that heads to Fuji. We were not able to use our JR passes here because it was private. We spent $50 roundtrip for both of us to travel to Fuji...

We woke up around 9:00 AM the following morning. We (I) were sad to be leaving the Disney parks, but we were excited about what was ahead of us in our trip. Before we left for our trip we had read from several sources that in Japan it is very polite to bring a gift to your host. It is also...

So, I didn't finish this part of the report yesterday because I didn't have my notes with me. I had written down some general observations about the parks that I wanted to share before I moved on to our next destination. We logged 11.77 miles the day that we visited Tokyo DisneySea. We left...

Thank you very much! Thanks so much! I really wanted to give all of you as much detail as I could in hopes to make everyone want to go! Your last sentence reminds me of how hard it is to actually try to briefly sum up for people in about two minutes how great our trip was. There is just so...

Before we left I told Jordan that we were needed to go on Journey one more time. This was the longest that we had waiting in any line all day long. We waited for roughly 30 minutes, and that's when we were behind a woman in stilettos. It boggled the mind! We rode in every seat position...

At this point we boarded the S.S. Columbia to check out Turtle Talk. Jordan and I absolutely love how interactive the Laugh Floor is at the Magic Kingdom. It is one of our favorite things to do together. He's never done Turtle Talk though. Turtle Talk is cute because kids are just funny, but...

We walked over to Toyville Trolley Park just to check out the ridiculousness over here. We never even attempted to try TSMM. The wait was still over an hour and a half even with crowds gathering around the harbor for Fantasmic!. I had no intention of trying to get on TSMM. I read that it was...

Guests were already taking their places for Fantasmic! a good hour and a half before the show. Flower mosaic for Spring Voyage We weren't ready to leave, but we were killing some time at this point. We walked by ToT several times to see if the wait times had gone down any. We...

After dinner we went back to Journey to use our fps. This place was absolutely beautiful at dusk. At this point in the evening Jordan and I started playing a game. When it was my turn he would spot a woman in a crazy outfit, say "one," and then it was my job to choose whose outfit I...

It was a wonderful place. I know there are a lot of play areas at WDW, but this place really catered to kids and adults. I loved that about it! Thank you and thank you for the synopsis! Yeah, I definitely didn't get any of that out of the show. I definitely get where the harmonious beat...

At this point in the day we had marked everything off of our list of must-dos! It wasn't even 4:00 P.M. though, but there was no way that I was leaving this park early. We headed over to Journey to grab fastpasses with a return time in about 3 more hours. I was honestly surprised that they...

From the fortress we decided to go check out Triton's Kingdom. While we were walking through Port Discovery we saw the craziest outfit we saw while at Disney. It was so ridiculous that it even caught the stare of a CM passing by. Yes, folks nothing to see here. This is what we always were...

That was on the other side of Mediterranean harbor from the fortress. That is also part of Hotel MiraCosta. Not a bad view for over $400 per night. Here's another woman in a homemade Disney outfit wearing heels. Heels! We saw numerous women wearing heels throughout the park. I...

As the crowds dispersed from the show we went back to the fortress for more exploration. This is an example of something that we saw work for other people who were doing the Leonardo Challenge but couldn't get it to work for us. This was supposed to simulate a volcano, but we couldn't...
