Thanksgiving at Tokyo Disney

Hello all! Despite getting our stuff the day before, we decided to take advantage of Kurt's day off and went to Tokyo Disney on Thanksgiving day. We drove using great directions from a place on base and had no trouble getting there. As we were driving, it started to rain and the temperature dropped. It was wet and really cold! It turns out that it was the best day to go...no one was there! People had told us that some of the lines were more than two hours long for one ride, but the longest we waited was 30 minutes (space mountain). We went on Dumbo, Small World, Haunted Mansion and all of the other traditional favorites. The only thing that we didn't get to do was meet Mickey...that line was about two hours even that day (mostly Japanese adults). I was so cold that I had to buy a hoodie Mickey sweatshirt and we got Disney umbrellas! We had curry chicken over rice for our Thanksgiving dinner...boy it was yummy! The funniest thing about the park was that the shows were all in Japanese. We went to the Lilo and Stitch show just to get out of the cold and it was really entertaining to see animatronic birds singing in Japanese. They also called Stitch "Stitchy" which Hannah thinks is hysterical. The other funny thing is how many adults were there. They really get into dressing up. Most people had some kind of crazy headgear with ears, some even had tails that hung down the side like a pony tail...men and women alike! One lady matched her leopard boots to her leopard Mickey Mouse hat with ears. I wish I had taken more pictures of other people! I have pictures on Kurt's and my phone, but he left Sunday for Oklahoma for two weeks and I don't know how to download them...all of the istructions are in Japanese! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! BTW, for those of you who feel bad that we didn't get a traditional dinner, we did the next day. Some friends invited us for a meal, that was really delicious and had everything traditional...thank you Joyners!
