Trip Report: Tokyo Disneyland Resort & Tour of Parts of Japan 2024

[ZapperZ]

We had a long but fun day. We will be turning in early tonight to get a good start tomorrow at DisneySea. We have early entry privileges, but it's only 15 minutes advantage. Still, it will give us a shorter line to get into DisneySea.

See you tomorrow for our first park adventure!

Here’s a dubious observation: I haven’t found a single trash can anywhere in the entire lobby of the ambassador. I even went out front and still can’t find a trash can.

As a hunch only, I wonder if they did have trash receptacles -- but perhaps they were discretely designed, to somehow blend in with the interior design of the lobby, etc.?

I did try to see if they were part of the decor, but a few items that I thought might be it were not. Besides, why would one blend in a trash can to the extent that the guests don't know that those are trash cans?

Maybe I'll ask a cast member today if one of them is not busy.

Good morning!

Disney Sea will be our first park this morning. It is walking distance from the Ambassador, and we intend to use the "Happy Entry" privilege to enter the park early. I think our first attraction that we will go for will be Tower of Terror. It's one of my most favorite attraction at WDW, and I want to compare it with the one here.

We have lunch reservation at SS Columbia where we will meet up with the rest of our party.

It is a rainy start to our day, but the vegetation outside of our room is so lush in this light rain.

We are in

Left our luggage’s at the resort welcome center. We can now wander around.

Can I ask what this service offers? Do they just keep hold of your luggage whilst you look around or will they transfer it to your hotel?

I believe in Japanese culture you are expected to take your rubbish home with you. Another cultural thing is not eating or drinking and walking so I don’t expect they generate too much rubbish to dispose of.

Obviously this rule is relaxed in the parks but in a hotel I expect you would dispose of your rubbish in your room?

We are at fantasy springs preview. Got fastpass for Peter Pan

 

[ZapperZ]

Peter Pan is a mostly 3d projection but very well done! All in Japanese but you get the idea of the story

I was so excited to see this. I just bought a Gopro Hero 12!!! I never had a Gopro before always wanted one. I bought it for our trip to Tokyo in a month (Mario StreetKarts) and TDR. Now I just have to figure the settings for Beauty & the Beast
