Getting Around Japan: Tokyo Disneyland Themed Areas / Family Travelogue 15 March 2016

Cinderella Castle (castle forefront)

Cinderella Castle is the icon of Tokyo Disneyland. The castle is also the entry way to the Fantasyland, one of the themed areas of the park.

Continued from the post, Getting Around Japan: From Ochanamizu to Tokyo Disneyland...

We arrived at the park at 9:20am and managed to get Fastpass (FP) for Star Tours with return time at 11:40am. At 11:30am we got FP for Space Mountain with return time at 3:30pm. After the Star Tours: The Adventure Continues ride, we had mickey shaped burger at the Tomorrowland Terrace. We were not lucky anymore to get more FP for the other attractions. All were taken till evening schedules. That was how packed the Tokyo Disneyland. Most visitors were locals and students from the other cities and regions in Japan. We noticed the excitement on their faces geared up with costumes. We watched daytime parade, Happiness is Here at 1:30pm. We then further explored the 115 acre (47ha) theme park, started at the Toontown then the Fantasyland, Critter Country and the Westernland. We were at Adventureland when we decided to go back to the Space Place FoodPort at Tomorrowland to wait for the Ana and Elsa Frozen Fantasy Parade.

After we had watched the Frozen Fantasy parade, we went back to the tomorrowland themed area and took our scheduled fastpass, Space Mountain ride.
