Tokyo Disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland

I know I’m hardly a child, and I know that every visit to Tokyo for me has to seemingly include a visit to Tokyo Disneyland. This time however I had the excuse that I wanted my husband to come along. When he was 2 years old, his parents took him to Florida Disneyland. When he met Mickey Mouse he promptly burst into tears. The poor thing had not only the humiliation of crying at the cartoon character at such a tender age but also a second round of humiliation when his brother, his best man at our wedding, recalled the story to all of our guests.

So in an effort to purge him of his Mickey Mouse demons, I took him to Tokyo Disneyland. I shan’t bother you with the details of the rides (although I loved them and as always my favourite was The Haunted Mansion) but here is a look at some of the food we ate:

Tokyo Disneyland Smoked turkey leg

Smoked turkey drumstick  Y472 (about $4.90AUD)

The Smoked turkey drumstick was a gigantic sized drumstick where the delicious smoked aroma beckoned to us. I know that I am in Western World when I can smell these. There’s some gristly bits but it’s soft and the flesh eases away easily which is a must when you’re eating takeaway style without utensils.
