A friend of mine got some free tickets to Disney land so off we trooped on Sunday to see if Mickey was in residence at Tokyo Disneyland or not (he wasn't).
Spent all day trying to believe in the magic of Disney. It is truly a bubble world where any dream is possible and as I'm sure for those of you who know me well enough, you can guess its not exactly my cup of tea. However, a few of the rides were sufficiently exciting enough to ruffle Donald's tail feathers though sadly none that would knock Tweety off his perch.
I have to give it to them for the eye for detail which is impressive and its always a pleasure to watch hundreds of grown men sporting Mickey, Pooh, Lilo (the list goes on and on) hats, earmuffs and headpieces (only in Japan). Fighting your way thorugh hoardes of squeeky teenage Japanese girls all of them squeeking 'Kawai' (cute) at every turn is less fun however. But it proved to be as wholesome a Sunday as I have spent in a while and much as I like to take the piss, I suppose we all have a little place in our hearts for disney (even my cynical one!).
