Day 3 at Magic Kingdom

Posted on by sonokotchi

Last meal (breakfast) at Magic Kingdom; I got Mickey omelette.

I left Magic Kingdom, but Magic continued because I still continued having fun.

My friend from Australia visited Tokyo for a short business trip.

She always purposely stays at Grand Hyatt Roppongi near my apartment so that we can meet up easily.

We went to Fingers Jinbocho for dinner.

It’s a new trend in Tokyo to eat food with hands.

I thought it would be new for her, but according to her, it’s common in China. 

She often visits China for business. Arama!

Anyway, we enjoyed catching up each other, we laughed through, and we had (definitely me) too much drink. hahaha

I took a heavy breakfast to charge energy for visiting Tokyo Disneyland!



First, we went to Toon Town to meet Mickey!

This is Mickey’s House.


And we took a photo at his movie barn!

I took a nice couple’s photo and displaying it at my room. fufufu.

We managed to take a fast pass for Space Mountain.

Again, forgot to take a photo because we could walk all the way to the ride. hahaha.

It’s time for Disney Christmas Stories.






Hi, Mickey and Minnie!

We returned to hotel for dinner to get ready for Electrical Parade.


Wahhhh, Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dream Lights started!




Went back to Buzz again because managed to get a fast pass – well, this was the only ride available for a fast pass.

Went to Pooh’s Honey Hunt!

The queue was short because others are watching fireworks.

I love this ride!

Day 1 at Magic Kingdom

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had an exciting week this week.

I took few days off to go to Magic Kingdom!

Went to one of official Tokyo Disney Resort Hotels, Hilton Tokyo Bay, to drop my car and luggage.

We took a Hilton’s shuttle bus to Maihama Station/Tokyo Disney Land.

There is the Welcome Center for official Disney hotels, including Hilton Tokyo Bay.

If you are taking a train to Maihama Station, you can check-in and drop your luggage here so that you can go straight to Disney without wasting any minute.



Then, took a Disney monorail to Disney Sea!

Monorail excites me because it’s filled with Mickeys! 

I mean many Mickey!


Even the view looks different through this cute Mickey window!


Yes, we are all dressed up for Disney!



When we reached there, we were greeted by Mickey and others by their show: Perfect Christmas! MICKEY!



We watched another show: Broadway Big Band Beat.


We took a ride: Nimo & Friends Sea Rider.


I forgot to take a photo of Aquatopia because a queue was so short that I didn’t have to wait at all, just walk in. Yeah!

It was raining so we decided to return hotel for resting and dinner.



On the way out, I bought blueberry popcorns with Duffy popcorn case.

I can buy Duffy Popcorn Case only at Disney Sea at selected popcorn wagon.



We met Mickey at the exit. 

Hummmm, how to meet him privately to take a photo with him…?


We took a Mickey bus from Bay Side Station to Hilton Tokyo Bay.

At the entrance, there is a play area for children.


Many children also enjoy watching trains.


We stayed at Magic Family Room for a little niece.


We received a letter when we checked-in and it says I can meet a girl, Tiara, who is studying magic in a mirror.


There is a key in a room and it lights up.


I also enjoyed lying on a bunk bed. hahaha

After room inspection, we went to enjoy buffet dinner.


Then we returned to Disney Sea for Colour of Christmas.




Also visited Mermaid Lagoon to enjoy rides, too.


I queued for Indiana Jones Adventure twice in the past; however, both time I couldn’t get on due to a system error.

But that night, I finally rode… twice!

It was awesome.


Yes, we enjoyed very well for the first day at the Magic Kingdom!

Miscalculation 

Posted on by sonokotchi

Ahhhhhh

I miscalculated.

I’ve been exercising so I thought I can eat bit more; I’ve been eating out to escape from the office to get fresh.

However, I didn’t understand calories and I’ve been miscalculating.

Now I’m thinking over my diet because I’ve gained weight, though I exercise.

I finally cooked and checked calories for what I ate today…it’s over calories…

I brought lunch so I thought I saved calories to eat cookies (it was additional 200 calories).


This was my dinner (I need to consider menu to look photogenic. ahaha).


I added natto (fermented soy beans).

 

With these simple food, my total calory for a day is still over about 400 calories.

Hummm I’m taking few days off to go to Disney Tokyo from tommorrow.


I’m going to stay there to enjoy food, too…

I’ll be more careful on ordinary days so that I can enjoy special occasion like tomorrow.

HFriday, Saturday and Sunday

Posted on by sonokotchi

On Thursday, after arranging flower, I stayed up late busily cleaning up my room because Mom wanted to stay over night on Friday after her visit to the dentist.

Out dentist is walking distance from my place.

Mom was already at my room when I got home.

Mom brought her homemade food; it’s always nice.

We were both tired coz Mom was busy cooking and I was busy cleaning so we went to bed early.

Next day, after lunch, Mom went back home.


I went to hair salon and grocery shopping.

I wasn’t keen to cook these days; but I should care what I eat.

To escape from the office, I’ve been eating out for lunch.

In addition, I went out for dinner…meaning I’ve eating too much.

On Sunday, suddenly I care my food; trying to be healthy.

The drink is special: it’s mixture of tomato juice and daikon (Japanese radish) juice.

Daikon helps detoxing.

My friend who has food allergy taught me this.


Today, I went back to Akihabara to pick up a housing for GoPro Hero 6 that I ordered.

It will enable to go down deep as 60 m. Wow.


Well, I had to return to Akihabara for more important matter.

I needed to request for exchange of GoPro because it doesn’t get charged…

I got a new one and the sales staff checked the camera before handed it over to me.

Now it works!


I cooked dinner to  e healthy.


I had persimmon for dessert; this year, I just love persimmons!

Little Santas 

Posted on by sonokotchi

After Halloween, the town is in Christmas mood.

On the way to the office, it caught my eyes…cute Little Santas!


I should press my iPhone against glass to kill reflection, but I was too shy to leave my finger prints on sparkling wiped FENDI boutique glass!!!

You might need to enlarge a photo to see them; there are many cute Little Santas with FENDI sacks!!!

This is a show window of FENDI boutique at Ginza Six, Ginza.

Dinner at Shokkan, Solamachi, Sky Tree, Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

I attended dinner function on behalf of my boss who is on leave.

Th restaurant is located at Sky Tree, the tallest building and communication tower in Japan with height of 634 m.


This nice Japanese cuisine restaurant, Shokkan is located on 30th Floor with a great view.

Of course, during the function, I couldn’t take any photos, but I arrived earlier to explore the area.


At the bottom of the Sky Tree, there is a shopping area named Solamachi, meaning sky town.

It was fun walking around the area till dinner time.


Though, there aren’t any photos of food, Japanese food was presented nicely by admiring and it was delicious.

When I’m in Asakusa area, I should make a reservation for dinner here to save cost for visiting observation room:  JPY 2,500. hahaha
