Disney Sea

Here are our pictures from Disney Sea! The day was gorgeous! For some reason, Disney Sea was more crowded than Disney Land. We were still able to get in all our favorite rides, plus when it's crowded we eat more, win, win, right?
This park isn't as decked out as the other for Halloween.
It was warm enough this time for popsicles, yay!
We tried to stuff napkins in Avie Jo's shoes to make her the little bit taller she needed to be to go on a majority of the rides, but alas, she was like a centimeter short!
By the time we made it over to Tower of Terror all the fast passes were gone, and we weren't going to wait 80 minutes in line!
So we went to play on the ship instead. Our day went by way too fast, and we all got sad thinking that this could be the last time at Tokyo Disney.

Disney, Again

We had never been to a Disney park in October during their Halloween celebrations. Yep, Disney Tokyo celebrates Halloween.
Even the monorail gets festive.
We always start with Pirates of the Caribbean.
It was a great day with great weather and not too crowded! I love spending this time with my husband and kids!! We went to Disney Sea the next day, more pictures to come!

The Sidestreets of Tokyo

There are some amazing side streets and pedestrian only streets in Tokyo. I love exploring these places. They are usually packed full of great food and quaint shops.
These are also some of my favorite scenes to capture in pictures. Candid scenes of everyday life here in Japan.
Of course, I like taking pictures of these guys too.
Tokyo Tower in the background!
Rayce found a delicious curry bun.
Another fun thing about walking these streets is you literally meet people from all over the world, we had conversations with people from New Zealand and England.
We ended up eating at a little place on one of these side streets and they served quail eggs as an appetizer, so of course we all had to try one, even Avie! She is usually not an adventurous eater...at all, but Danielle said she'd pay her a buck to try it. Wow, that's the key, huh? We thought for a moment that she might vomit but she kept it down. Actually, quail eggs are pretty tasty.
They even had rickshaws and after all the walking around it was kinda enticing, but expensive!
It's nice to have a city like Tokyo where you feel safe enough to explore the side streets and stuff kinda off the beaten path. Even more to come.
