The day after Damian's birthday we headed to Tokyo Disney for the day. It was a Friday and not crowded at all- except for all the Japanese school girls which we didn't really understand why they weren't at school, but I digress... We had a fantastic day riding all the rides and enjoying our time together! Disney really is the happiest place on earth! We had fun just being carefree and running around all day like we were kids! We got there right when the park opened and there was music playing which was really magical... when we came through from Main Street Disney there was a marching band playing the music... it was truly magical! This time we tried the Chocolate Popcorn which was pretty good but I think I still liked the Strawberry the best from when we went to Disney Sea last year!
We didn't make it in line to get pictures with Mickey & Minnie, too busy running to go for a second run on Space Mountain.
Star Tours, Damian's FAVORITE Disney ride was closed for renovations and
It's a Small World, my FAVORITE Disney ride was also closed... bummer! One of the funniest things was seeing Alice in Wonderland taking pictures with all the little kids- it cracks me up that these characters are from the U.S. and Australia so they really look the part, I mean what's wrong with an Japanese Alice??? We had fun taking pictures with the little green army men too! haha I love their feet!
The next day we headed to Sea Paradise which is probably the closest thing I can get to Sea World here as possible. It was pretty fun and Damian and I enjoyed walking around the aquarium and seeing all the animals! We even got to touch a walrus and get a cool picture and Damian pet a penguin. We tried to pet the dolphins and pilot whales but they just wouldn't get close enough! There was a giant fish tank that went up 3 stories and Damian and I planted ourselves in front of it for a good 30 minutes just relaxing and taking it all in! It was really cool.

In the middle of the park they had dumped a giant load of snow and built a little igloo and all the kids were lined up to play in the snow- too cute! There was a dolphin experience area where the dolphins swim in tanks all around you... at first it was really neat, but then looking around it was sad since the tanks were so small. I'm not sure what the laws are here with these kind of places. I do know that they rescue animals there and do research, but I just don't know why they have to keep them in such small spaces... Anyway, other than feeling badly for the animals we had a nice afternoon there and on our walk back to the train station right at dusk the beautiful Mt. Fuji was out in all her majestic glory.
