Green Aliens swarming Tokyo

So I made the first trek to Tokyo Disneyland this week! The rides are the same as all Dinseylands (meaning they were still fun) -- we did the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Big Thunder Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, and of course the new Winnie the Pooh Honey Hunt ride, since we just finished working on the series!

Character-wise, the most popular character at Tokyo Disneyland is Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch. Not only was the morning parade the Lilo and Stitch parade, there was Stitch merchandise everywhere. I'm pretty sure there was more Stitch merchandise than Mickey Mouse merchandise, which is the first time I've ever seen that at a Disney park!



Among the Pixar characters, by far the most popular character was the three-eyed Green Alien from Toy Story. These pictures are from the store right at the exit of the Buzz Lightyear ride, but there was Green Alien merchandise everywhere!





Three of the girls get down with their Aliens!



It was a really fun day, and to continue the experience we had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe (same chain as in the U.S.) -- unfortunately, we were seated right next to the animatronic gorillas so we got growled at every ten minutes or so.
