Anggarani's World

It was friday, once again I couldn’t wait for theme park. We had to visit Disneyland that day, because the two next day would be weekends, next monday is the halloween day so it would be crowded, next tuesday would be Disneysea time, and the next wednesday would be our last day in Japan.

All prepared, but I recklessly didn’t check the weather. Doomed.

1. Arrived around 11am-12pm, it was cloudy but the weather still nice so we rent a 1000¥ stroller with confident.

2. Everything went awesome for Oct 28th was one of costume day at Disneyland Japan. Adults were allowed to cosplay-ing their disney characters. So my daughter got the chance to see many princesses and other disney characters around 😍

3. Watched Mickey Philhar Magic with same enthusiasm, but then.. The rain was starting. Hope that it wouldn’t be for too long. I was wrong. It was going on THE WHOLE DAY.

Yes we brought along an umbrella, but sometimes the rain were so heavy that it didn’t help much. And it would be better if it’s ONLY rain, but it’s not. Along with rain came the cold wind made the temperature dropped down to 9’C.

We also had to buy a 2000yen mickey stroller raincoat T_T it is cute, and necessary for that day, but the price was amazingly expensive.. hiks. Please let me know if you wanna buy it from me ;P

I’m not a cold weather person, suit tropical weather more so it was a torture for me. And apparently also for my 15mo 😭😭😭😭 he’s cold and crying many times more that usual.

Yes it’s because the ticket was expensive for us, but also imagining walking through heavy rain back to the Maihama train station wasn’t a better idea. So we continued our journey. Bad bad idea, but it was already bad in the first place.

3. We ate at one of park bench and took prays behind the sticth encounter building. Just few people there, and the floor was dry. Scenery was nice too.

4. Most of rides and shows didn’t have too long waiting time (except for pooh ride and taking picture with mickey at his house) so it wasn’t completely bad experience 😶 we could ride haunted house, Pinocchio adventure, pirates of carribean, stitch aloha e komo mai, visited goofy paint house, minnie house, donald boat, and mickey house. The last one is another bad decision story.

5. So I thought everything going better and let my daughter and husband to visit mickey mouse house while me and 15mo were waiting outside.

I swear I thought it would be just like visiting other houses, but I was wrong. 60mins waiting was too long for colder temp. that evening. My 15mo was suffering because of cold wind and I was too tired and confused to make decision. So I don’t know for how long, I was just completely hopeless go back and forth with my non stop crying baby in his ergobaby carrier.

You see, there’s no comfortable place for us to wait near the mickey house exit, too many people inside the house so no one knows whether my husband and daughter still inside the house or not (I asked 3 different lady employees), and the nearest possible breastfeeding place was toilet located pretty far from there (scare that my husband would be looking for me if I’m not there long enough). Just no more words about this, disaster. I must be looked like a lunatic with suffering baby in Mickey’s house exit. I almost cried.

6. On our way home, we decided to take the disneyresort line train, we had to stay warm as long as possible since it was already around 10pm and the temperature was getting colder.

Well, I know this isn’t a beautiful holiday story, but I just want everybody to take lessons from my mistakes too. It is important to check on the weather before you go. Cheers!
