1 week Japan/1 week Orlando Food Report
 

So, this has been a hectic but fun and disney filled year. In April, we went to Japan for week and got to experience Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Also, we have just returned from a six night stay in Orlando. In Orlando, we managed to do Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay.

So the food report isn't short, I decided to combine the two :grin:

In Japan, we went to Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto and stayed at various hotels. In Orlando, we stayed at Country Inn and Suites on Universal Blvd :)

I hope you enjoy this report!

To start... A little background info.

During the Easter holidays, mum, dad, Nat (my brother), Elliott (my fiance) and I went to Japan for a week. The first 4 nights were spent at a hotel near Tokyo Disney Resort. The hotel was called Spa and Hotel Maihama Euraisa. The hotel was beautiful and service was excellent.. providing free disney shuttle service. We then travelled using the shinkansen (bullet train) to Nagoya and Kyoto. We had a lot of interesting eats on this trip. When we were not in the tourist parts of Japan, we literally did not know what we were ordering. This was such an incredible adventure!

Day 1 - Tokyo Disneyland

Breakfast was skipped due to the excitement of entering the park and was replaced by a coffee. We got straight into the fastpass line for Monsters Inc and then headed straight to Space Mountain. First impressions of the park were wonderful. The staff were so friendly and the park was immaculately clean. So many people were dressed up and their outfits matched their friends and family ( managed to sneak a few photos ).





As it was Easter, the park had cute theming everywhere and had the characters shaped into easter eggs.



We had lunch in Adventureland and picked up a pork bun in the shape of Mickey's hand. This was delicious and priced at only 600 yen - approx. £4.60.





After watching the parade, we headed back to tomorrowland for some afternoon snacks. We had a blue churros from Soft Landing, this tasted like raspberry sugar and was a little messy. We also had a Mickey Shaped cheeseburger patty from Tomorrowland Terrace. I LOVED all the Mickey shaped food items.




Such a great first day. We finished off at Red Lobster in the mall across the road from the parks. I had the prawn tapas dish with bread.

It will be really interesting to see some of the food in Japan. I like the look of all the Mickey shaped food you've had today.

Sounds as if you had two wonderful trips this year. The food looks great so far.

Thank you for reading :)

Day 2 - Tokyo DisneySea

We knew this had been voted the best park in the world, but we didn't quite realise how magical it would be. The theming is just breathtaking!







For breakfast, we had a gyoza sausage bun and either a soft drink or coffee each. This was like a japanese style sausage roll. We purchased this from Nautilus Galley in the Mysterious Island.




We got to ride some of our favourites such as Toy Story Mania and also some classics with a twist such as the Tower of Terror.



For afternoon snacks I had a sea-salt ice cream monaka. This was purchased in the mermaid lagoon. We noticed the prices were a lot cheaper than the US. This was only 310 yen = £2.50

This was delicious! :tongue:


I also had a beer cocktail on the American Waterfront.


For dinner, we headed to the Mediterranean Harbour area and had dinner in an Italian restaurant. I apoligise that I forgot to take photos but we ate at Ristorante di Canaletto :) We each had a pasta dish. Elliott, Dad and I had a seafood linguine. Mum and Nat had a carbonara style dish.



We stayed and watched the evening show. Nothing will ever top the fireworks in Florida but the show was over the water and it was a nice way to spend the evening.

Great food, I love the look of the sea shell ice cream monaka. The beer cocktail looks refreshing too. 😀

Day 3 - Last Disney Day :(

This was our last Disney day before heading to Tokyo...



We made use of the park hopper and visited both parks, using the monorail to get to each one from the main station.

Today mostly consisted of snacks.

Throughout our trip, we tried as many popcorn flavours as possible as Disney Tokyo is known for their weird and wonderful flavours.

We tried: Curry, Milk Chocolate, Caramel, Honey, Garlic Shrimp, Strawberry and Chinese Chili.
The majority favourite was the Milk Chocolate.. and it smelt like heaven :tongue:





Also, we loved all the crazy merchandise and large hats they sold.


In the afternoon, we tried the alien mochi balls available near Toy Story Mania - these were an interesting but unusual taste, but definitely worth getting for the picture!


Later on, we tried the chocolate and pizza sticks called tipo torta available from the village pastry in fantasyland. Both were delicious!



We said our goodbyes to the parks as we carried on our adventure...

The Japanese snacks look ace, would love to go to Tokyo Disney Sea. Keep it coming :)

Thank you! :) yes some of the food in Japan was incredible, very different to Florida though, not for the fussy eaters, although Disney catered for everyone :grin:
