Comments on: Tokyo Disneyland http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/07/10/tokyo-disneyland/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Good question about the Pooh ride, I think it was more the fact that fewer people could go on the ride at any one time meant that the queue was longer. Tt was cute but not that exciting. We saw in "honey pots" and there were some psychedelic lights and it was good but I probably wouldn't queue an hour for it again. You're welcome! :) Hi Maria-I know, I was so excited!

I like the idea of an apple flavoured iceblock on a hot day. Interesting reading Lorraine & thank you for the tips! :) p.s. what was appealing about the honey pot ride? Im curious cos it sounds like a little kids ride :) How disappointing about the fake cake false advertising! I like the idea of an apple flavoured iceblock on a hot day.

When I went when I was 11, the lines were so, so long! I think this was before the Fastpass was introduced (or else my parents didn't know about it). Hi belle-Thankyou! :D I love the oddness and extremeness of Japan so it's always a pleasure for me to visit. Hi Iron Chef Shellie-The cake actually turned colours too (it was just hard to capture on camera as it happened so quickly). Twas rather brilliant! :) Hi Shannon-Oh yes rain would definitely lessen the enjoyment of it as would the crowds. I don't think I'd go on a weekend if I had the choice, I just hate queuing for anything! I'd love to hear about DisneySea :) Hi tian-Hehe thanks! :) Hi KCL-Thanks so much! Haha the fashion in tokyo is so mad and so unbelievable how they can wear those shoes! The boys also love shopping and I guess it really shows :lol: Hi grace-Very good observations. I felt like a Flintstone's character eating a Pterodactyl leg drumstick! And I sure do, it's very, very addictive that song! Hi Jen-I think they've tried to replicate the origianl one as much as possible although I don't think Turkey is big in Japan so perhaps they import truckloads-they'd go through so many in a day! :lol: Hi Y-Oh yes that is true, I couldn’t understand a word they were saying which I guess would have been nice.

Although, I don't remember it being so red. Great pics, keep 'em coming!

Went there not long ago and am planning to go again - great tips! Also, we went to Disneysea Tokyo in Winter and there were girls in high stilleto boots and miniskirts! and boys that looked like they were heading for a photoshoot of some kind! Very amusing!

Japanese girls are funny like that. i even saw girls HIKING in high heels. amazing! were you disappointed with the candy offerings at Disneyland? my husband almost cried when he realised there was no fudge or chocolates, just lots and lots of mochi and sweet biscuits. we did manage to find some caramels which were quite nice though! we went to Tokyo Disneyland AND Disneysea. loved them both!
