Today we got up and ate breakfast early and out quickly to
get to TDL at park opening at 8:00. I wanted the highly coveted Monsters Inc.
fast pass! We arrived at the fast pass area at 8:05 and saw the CRAZY line for fast passes!
The next 2 photos are of the fast pass line for Monsters Inc.
5 minutes after park opening!

Here I am trying to figure out where these lines are coming from and going to!
After
this we made our way over to Tomorrowland and had lunch at the Tomorrowland
Terrace. For some reason it was never
really crowded in here even when we had dinner the other evening we were able
to get a table inside in the air conditioning. It was the same at lunch today,
we were easily able to find a table. The food
was really good and I will say everything was always fresh and the hot food was
always hot. Never a cold French fry! We
were now able to acquire more fast passes so we got Space Mountain fast passes.
Return time was between 1:30-2:30.
It
was now getting very hot in the afternoon sun. We decided to take a break and to check out the
Disneyland hotel and then take the monorail over to see the Miracosta hotel.
Both were gorgeous. I hope to use our DVC points next trip and stay at
one of them.
We then went back to TDL to
ride Space Mountain. It's a little
different than the WDW version. The que area has CGI videos playing and there's
a large space ship hanging above...the ride is similar but not exactly the same as our WDW version. The Tokyo version seems more modern. We then stopped for some snacks and did some
souvenir shopping while we waited for our Monsters Inc. fast pass return time. I loved the que area of monsters. Inc - it
was like being in the movie! The reception desk was super cute and so was all
the signage. I LOVED this ride!
Again....why dont we have this? They should re-imagine Monsters Inc. Laugh floor and give us
Ride and Go Seek at WDW! It's similar to Toy Story Mania but you shine flash lights on the
Monsters Inc. logo to expose hiding Monsters.
Very cute!
After this we went
back to the hotel to shower and get ready to go out to dinner because tonight
our friend Daisuke was arriving with his wife and children. We hadn't seen him since our wedding and now
he has a wife and 2 beautiful children.
Once they were settled at their Hotel (Hotel Okura) Daisuke called and asked us to meet up over at Ikspiari's TGI Fridays. They were excited to have American food for
dinner which they don't get to have all that much in Fukuoka. Which I thought was so
cute. We take onion rings for
granted...they were very excited to order them LOL. We had a great time catching up
at dinner and they were staying at Hotel
Okura which was right next to our hotel so we all took the monorail back to
Bayside station and said goodnight. We decided that we would all meet up in the morning at the
monorail station to go to Disneyland with them.
