So its on to Day 4. This was to be our last day/morning in TDL as we were moving to the Four Seasons in Marunouchi for the final four nights of our trip.
Tuesday was our 2nd rainy morning and there were long lines at the monorail station as we headed over to TDS:
So we got in line and waited our turn to get up to the platform.....only to find that this was the line to buy tickets - sheesh - oh well, only 20mins wasted lol.
The 'hotel' entry crowd was a lot smaller this morning....I wonder why
Da girls. We'd come prepared with Gore-Tex jackets and waterproof boots:
We hopped on the monorail and found.....nobody driving.....I guess they're controlled from the rear?
At the TDS entry plaza we found the missing crowd. We noticed that nobody really had waterproof footwear, but everyone had an umbrella:
The sea of umbrellas headed to ToT & TSM:
But our target of the morning was Indy & Raging Spirits. We grabbed a FP for Indy and headed to RS. Once inside the Raging Spirits line, we loved the theming, notice the 'back' of the LCD panel:
With the poor light and using my waterproof P&S, it was hard to 'stop' the cars on the track:
Here's a car in the loop, which is pretty tight:
After scoring a front row seat for Raging Spirits, it was off to use our FPs for Indy. Sarah hams it up in the FP return line:
I don't know how much of the pre-ride line we missed by using FPs, but in DL the FP line merges with the Standby line before any of the cool pre-ride stuff happens (well room, collapsing ceiling room etc.).
So the first room we really see is the large cavern which was well themed:
Again we scored front row seats, with Sarah driving:
Then we headed over to Sinbad for a final voyage. At this point the sun came out and we took the opportunity of a short curry popcorn line to make a purchase:
From here we headed over to American Waterfront to the Duffy store. I'm still not sure what folks see in Duffy - sure he's a cute bear but......:
And with that, it was time to head back to the hotel, grab our bags and check out
Waiting for the cab to take us to central Tokyo:
Goodbye Tokyo
Disneyland Hotel, we'll be back:
FWIW, we think our room was to the right of the top center room shown here (top floor):
Next up, Tokyo.....
