One Day Fun At Tokyo Disneyland

Last Sunday, our family went to the Tokyo Disneyland and we arrived there at 10 am and as we walk from the entrance, most of the Disney characters were walking around, busy posing for pictures with guests and visitors but we passed them all coz we wanted to get a FASTPASS first before anything else to book our time to go on the rides most especially for Pooh's Hunny Hunt coz these fast passes go quickly, we also booked for Mickey's PhilharMagic, the newest attraction at Disneyland and if you're visiting Disneyland, I would highly recommend you to get first a fastpass coz it really saves your time! While we wait for the time, we watched a show and ate our lunch at the Queen Of Heart Banquet Hall and went two rides-- the Alice Tea Party ( a chaotic ride where we sat on a giant teacup and was spinned very fast by Wakaba ) and Castle Carrousel which my kids enjoyed a lot and after that we went to see the newest attraction, Mickey's Philhar Magic where Wakaba and Haruka were amazed by the 3-D film magical orchestra concert and they can't help reaching out their hands and trying to touch the disney friends popping out of the screen lol! And while still waiting for the time, we watched the beautiful day time parade that was left half-unfinished and went at the Pooh's Hunny Hunt ( we love bouncing along with Tigger and gosh, that attraction is really popular! You'll wait for 2 hours if you don't get a fastpass! ) then went to the Haunted Mansion and had the last ride at the Monster's Inc Hide&Go Seek where we play the game hide go-seek with the lights off and used the flashlights to find the monsters hiding around the area. Wakaba and Haruka enjoyed 'em a lot although Haruka was a lil bit scared when the lights were turned off.

We went there already late and left early ( 6 pm because the kids have classes next day, Monday) but luckily we have tried most of the attractions that we wanted to try for one day. With a lot of waiting for our turn to try for some rides/attractions, the kids were very patient, tired but had a load of fun ^_^

Nezumi No Yomeiri

Father Mouse sets off to find the mightiest creature in the world for his daughter to marry. He approaches the Sun, the Cloud, the Wind and the Wall and in the end believes that he has learned who is the mightiest of all. Wakaba played her part of Japanese folktales called the Nezumi No Yomeiri ( The Mouse's Marriage ) and went on stage at her school's stage play/musical last week. It was a first to experience to watch a stage play of the elementary students in Japan school. They played their roles, delivered their lines so well and I'm so proud of my Wakaba performing dances without any shyness and full of confidence. I'm glad that Wakaba loves to be on stage! It was a day to remember, we really had a WONDERFUL time most especially Haruka--she was shouting when she saw her big sissy dancing lol! We thought of leaving school after the performance of Wakaba and the 1st graders because Haruka might get bored--but was wrong, she enjoyed watching the play. It was pretty neat performance of them and Wakaba really had fun and it does makes me proud when my Wakaba were up there performing^_^



I'm so Proud of my girl!
The kids were all adorable
She did a great job on dancing and singing with her classmates
Wakaba made my heart melt for the nth time!

The GAP Generation

Last weekend was a shopping day for my kids autumn gears at Fashion Cruise, New Port Hitachinaka .Well, it's a fashion mall here in Japan that has The GAP Generation Store ( newest member of the GAP family) nearest us--2 and a half hours from our place. We purchased 4 articles of clothing for them and 2 hoodies for me and my husband. I guess my kids must have sprouted like vines! I was hoping that most of the clothes that I bought my kids last year a bit bigger would fit them this year. I've been picking up clothes here and there from malls most especially on good bargains and on clearance sale.

I do love shopping for my kids but how I wish we have GAP stores near us--I love their cool styles and super comfy to wear too.

We had a really good weekend, kind of crazy, busy but fun ^_^
