Bilingual Buzz

For those of you who have watched Toy Story 3 you will know that Buzz Lightyear can speak Spanish. Well today we found out that Buzz can also speak Japanese! We went to Tokyo Disney for the day and had a fabulous time! We were joined by half of Japan and so had many long waits. But it was a really fun experience to go on all the rides and see the characters singing and speaking Japanese! They had the most amazing parades. One was in the afternoon with great Disney floats and dancing characters. The other was at night and had extremely impressive lit up floats. The Japanese people are so organised and respectful and made sure that everyone was sitting down during the whole parade so that everyone could see.

It was very hot! So we enjoyed many Mickey shaped icecreams!

Dad was wiped out from the Space Mountain ride and needed to hold onto Mum for support!

We enjoyed the 'It's a Small World' ride with the singing in different languages!

A slightly more tame rollercoaster for the parents! (Aimed at little kids!)

Outside Minnie's house

Splash Mountain! Aaaaaaah, that's a big drop!

The Tokyo Disney castle

The elaborate afternoon parade. Tigger was so cool - he jumped from his perch there onto a trampoline below still holding on to the tree by his tail!

The incredible night time lights parade! The Cheshire Cat with Alice riding on top.

 The genie changed colours and characters - here he is as Tigger!

We got fastpasses for Splash Mountain and went on it at the end of the day. It was nice to get splashed on Splash Mountain to cool down from the hot day.
