Trip to Tokyo day 2

22/12/2011

Itinerary of today:
Hotel Horidome Villa
Tokyo Disneyland 

Had a blast in Tokyo Disneyland today. Even I have been to Disneyland in HK for more than 10 times, I was still very excited coz Tokyo Disneyland is like 10 times larger than that in HK!  Had breakfast in a fast food shop early in the morning. The price was quite close to those in Hong Kong. Actually I think one of the greatest things for Japanese food is that, they are all served in good quality, even though it's only a fast food shop that you passed by! Then walked to Tokyo Station (東京駅) and took a train to Maihama Station (舞浜駅).
