MONDAY - CHIBA 
TOKYO DISNEY RESORT

Okay, do you notice anything different? Yes, the pictures are wider. What happened was I was in my camera's settings trying to find something that adjusts the exposure and accidentally changed the aspect ratio. I didn't notice it until after I got back home, so all of the rest of the pictures will look like this.
After a few hours in the Disneyland park we headed over to Tokyo DisneySea. On the way out we took a look into the Disneyland Hotel just outside the park entrance. It was still under construction the last time I visited.
Like I mentioned, there is a charge to take the monorail, but it can be paid with our Suica cards.
Yes, this is a picture of the inside of the monorail car, but really I wanted a photo of the woman in the odd pink getup. The other woman was massaging her arm for some reason.
The cost of two single day tickets, one for each park, is still cheaper than a one-day park hopper at WDW. Tokyo Disney Resort does not sell park-hoppers for some reason.
There was a rather long line to meet Mickey, who looks like he is dressed up like a cruise director.
One thing people always say about DisneySea is that the theming is spectacular. I cannot disagree.
*DUPLICATE PHOTO WARNING* I'm sure old New York looked just like this. Well without all the Japanese people.
Shanghai Sue's Saloon flanked by McDucks Department Store and McDuck's Pawn Shop.
Several types of vessels at the American Waterfront.
There's a pack of Tiggers standing outside the Journey to the Center of the Earth attraction.
The queue was long but the wait time was only about 2/3 of the time that was posted.
Lunch time at Miguel's El Dorado Cantina.
Fried chicken taco, fries and a mango soda.
The other disappointing ride closure was the Indiana Jones Adventure.
¡Hola, Donald!
Welcome aboard the DisneySea Transit Steamer Line. At least that's what I think she said. It all sounded like Japanese to me.
There is a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction there, but it's nothing like the classic WDW ride. And this isn't it. It's just a Nautilus in the lagoon.
This bridge reminded me a little bit of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.
I've never quite figured out what this area is supposed to be. The theming is great, but what is the theme exactly? It just looks like a mystical port.
The boat travels around the waters of the park. We took it from the Lost River Delta to Mediterranean Harbor.
There are lots of modes of water transportation. It is called DisneySea after all.
A nice street in old Italy.
Some wandering street characters. The fox, "Honest" John Worthington Foulfellow, engaged me. While my sister was in the restroom I was standing watching him interact with others when he turned toward me and stood perfectly still, as was I. He nodded. I nodded. He stepped forward to shake my hand. I stepped forward and we shook hands. He hugged me with the other arm. I hugged him back. The other Japanese tourists went "Awwww".
We didn't get dessert at the cantina, so we had some tiramisu at the Zambini Brothers' Ristorante.
It was pretty good. Odd for a theme park, it was served on a proper plate with a metal fork.
A long fake Roman aqueduct.
