gave us two Fast Passes when they were all gone!

We ate lunch at Flo's V8 Cafe.
We met Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater! 

We got to ride Tower of Terror (no waiting)
and saw the Aladdin Show.
The Genie is still hysterical!

The Cast Members at DCA were helpful,
informative and very interactive.
We shared our story with many of them and also
learned some new facts about the park.

We arrived in Los Angeles 6 hours before we left Tokyo!

Our flight took us over the International Date Line.

So, we travelled Back In Time... It's like Groundhog Day!

On our second Saturday, we saw Fireworks at DisneyLand.

 Then we had time for a stroll through Downtown Disney!

 

 

Life is sooooo good.......

 

 

It's Great to be back in the USA!

 

 

Got there just in time for Fireworks!

Always time for Minnie to shop!!!



Day 22 - Travel Day

Our flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles leaves very late this evening.

Actually, the plane takes off at 12:05 am (Sunday morning).

We will arrive in LA at 6:00 pm Saturday.

How cool is that?

So, we slept in late and packed our bags.

Then, we went shopping at Bon Voyage and Ikspiari.

Just in case we forgot to buy anything!

As it turns out, there were a few more items

we needed to complete our visit to

Tokyo Disney Resort.

We had a wonderful time here in Tokyo.
