Dan Choi : My Holiday in Tokyo Disneyland!
Over the winter I managed to visit Tokyo Disneyland,
twice! The last time I visited was two years ago, so I was really excited about
going there again. The last time I went to Disneyland I experienced their Easter theme.
This time, however, I went during Halloween and Christmas.
For my Halloween visit I decided to go on a
weekday believing that there would be fewer visitors at the park. I couldn’t
have been more wrong! The place was packed.
I guess everyone must have had the same idea as me!
I was really impressed with the
costumes I saw. Not just the costumes worn by the park staff, but also the
costumes that some of visitors were wearing. I assume because it was so close to
Halloween, many people had decided to wear costumes! Everywhere I turned stood
Belle, Alice, Elsa, and other Disney princesses! It was wonderful!
My Christmas trip was just as eventful because
I managed to meet four of the most famous Disney characters. Prior to my Christmas trip, I had only met
one Disney character before… the Genie from Aladdin. This time, I met Donald,
Pluto, Mickey, and Uncle Scrooge! I was particularly happy
about meeting Scrooge, since he was one of my childhood idols. When I was a
kid, I used to watch his cartoons and read his comics all the time. At any rate, when I saw Scrooge, I shouted over
and over again, “Uncle Scrooge! Uncle Scrooge!” Finally he came over to me and
gave me a nice pat on the back. What a nice fellow!
I wonder… when should I go to Tokyo Disneyland this
year?
