Tokyo Disney

Tokyo was the first stop on our itinerary, unfortunately, it was pouring down rain! June is the rainy season in Japan, and as such was supposed to be less crowded. It was one of their most crowded days! We had to buy rain ponchos, only we couldn't find one to fit Eric! As he was trying on the XLg size a Japanese man was behind him trying to hide his laughter and awe of my husband's size. It was hilarious! We proceeded to get soaked and stood in lines for over an hour for every ride! The newest ride was "Ride & Go Seek" and the wait was over 3 hours! Then the letdown of the century was that the best rides were closed for maintenace (unscheduled)! I definitely prefer Disney World Florida!
After 2 days at Disney we threw in the towel (a very wet one) and tried some tourist spots. Just being on the Tokyo subway system was a trip in itself! There are 6 layers of subways underground! It is quite a feat in scheduling to make that work! We went to see Tokyo Tower. It is taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but quite ugly in my opinion; it is painted a flourescent orange! We went to see the Guinness Book of World Records Museum! This was perfect as that is Taylor's all-time favorite book! We spent 3 hours walking through a very small museum; it was fascinating and all of us enjoyed it. The last place we saw was a bit on the strange side. It is a walk through room full of optical illusions. Eric and I copped some down time (Hee Hee) and the kids had a lot of fun!
