The week I had a cold, Dan and I had planned for a fun day at Tokyo Disneyland. He has been working so much, we were both looking forward to it! But thanks to my darn cold, I took a pass on the day. Luckily he was able to get enough work done that weekend that we went the following week when I felt better!<\/p>\n

I love getting over a cold, when I don’t feel like a drippy sweaty mess on the couch anymore. Instead of painting my nails, I tried a nail kit called Sally Hansen Salon Effects. It’s basically a “sticker” of nail polish you press on and shape to your nail with a file. It wasn’t very hard to do, and with a topcoat it lasted the past 2 weeks!
\nPretty fishnet nails!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We trained out to Maihama and entered the park. It was all decorated for the 30th anniversary!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We walked around a bit, just enjoying the park and decorations. I think that’s the thing people find most strange about Dan and I- we don’t beeline to e-ticket attractions. We really just love the atmosphere, seeing happy people, and taking it all in.<\/p>\n

We did, however get a fastpass for the new Star Tours! Fastpass acquired at 10am, return time: 7pm!<\/p>\n

As usual, typical Tokyo Disneyland patrons. All dressed up for a day out!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We rode some rides, and then indulged in one of our favorite junk foods- pizza flavored spring rolls from Toon Town!
\nThey taste just like a giant Pizza Roll!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More wandering led to Fantasyland, where Dan was a good sport and rode It’s a Small World with me. I recently read the book It’s Kind of a Cute Story<\/a> by Rolly Crump, an imagineer\/ artist for Disney from way-back-when, and he did a lot of work for this ride. It was wonderful to see all his personal touches!
\nAnd let’s face it, I’m a sucker for a sassy pink camel tapping his toes!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had lunch at the bakery, where they always have these cute Mike Wazowski melon bread buns!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time out for a picture! Tried to get us and the castle in!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We really had a great day. It was sunny but not hot (but we both came home with a little color!), we didn’t stand in lines all day or feel pressured by time. <\/p>\n

The second longest line we waited in was Pooh’s Hunny Hunt. It was about 25 minutes.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We kept checking in on Splash Mountain, one of my faves, but the wait was always 90 or 100 minutes. This duck kept an eye on riders!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At some point we picked up a fastpass for Big Thunder, which is always fun \ud83d\ude42
\n\"<\/a>
\nMy favorite part of Big Thunder- the goat! He even has a Twitter account!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eventually the sun set, and Disney took on a new beauty
\n\"<\/a>
\n\"<\/a>
\n\"<\/a>
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We swung past Splash Mountain one more time, and saw the wait was 45 minutes. Since we were already satisfied with our day, we decided to go for it!
\n\"<\/a>
\nHow to end such a perfect day? A Mickey waffle!
