When you gachapon a star: Tokyo Disney and Japan 2019 - Intro and Index

When you gachapon a star: Tokyo Disney and Japan 2019 - Intro and Index

Hey Disnerds!

It’s been over three weeks since we got back from our fantastic holiday in Japan and my notebook has been sitting on my shelf making feel guilty for not starting my trippie for too long! So, down to business.

Some quick notes first...

This trippie will cover our June to July trip to Japan, taking in Tokyo Disney, Tokyo, Universal Studios in Osaka, Kyoto and then back to Tokyo Disney. There will hopefully also be a description of my sister Becky’s one day in Shanghai Disney which took place before we both met up in Japan. If you’re only interested in the Disney days, I’ll mark them clearly below, but feel free to check out our other adventures too, as we did some amazing stuff!

The ‘cast’ of this trippie is me (right), Rosie, trippie-ist and owner of too many Disney t-shirts and Becky (left), organiser of spectacular holidays.



The title I have chosen for this trippie is ‘When you gachapon a star: Tokyo Disney and Japan 2019’ - read the trippie to find out why!

Rejected titles included:
  • The best Disney park in the world?
  • Duffy and Shellie Mae and Rigatoni and Skippy Lou...and Rosie and Bex too
  • Fueled by ramen
  • Ramen, onsen, hot men and not enough yen
  • Gondolas, gachapon and Google maps
  • When life gives you melons, make melon bread
  • Walt, weather and bathing in wine

Intrigued yet? Good, let’s get started.

Feel free also to check out my other trippies (DLP 2016, DLP 2017 and Disney World) and our Disney animated movies marathon by selecting the links.
