Mom and Daughter time at Sanrio Puroland

I was thinking to bring Mary to Sanrio Puroland but I am guessing that Ben will get bored in there because of lots of girly girl stuff.

Getting there:
From Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, we took Keikyu line from Yokosukachuo bound to Yokohama. I got this train schedule from HYPERDIA.COM


This is my schedule but then we missed the train. I was planning that if I missed the train then I will just follow the directions and see how it goes.
.... it was really an awesome timing since we rode the train that bound to Hashimoto(t'was end of the line) and so we do not need to change train.


(My direction above, this will tell you to change train from yokohama to higashi-kanagawa station which is ONE stop from Yokohama...You really does not need to change platform on this station.
We just get off here at Hashimoto, this is a local train and it stops all the stations listed above.


Then: we change train line to Keio Sagamihara Line- I think we get off at platform 4 and 3. So, you must be watchful because it have only 4 stops and then you gonna get there.




I got this map from their website: It is a general directions on how to get there.


Okay our train time schedule were not followed but I followed the train route

Trip to Kidzania Tokyo

The Kidzania is located near at Toyosu train station. It is so easy to get there.


SCHEDULE:
12:30 – Meet at main gate for an immediate 12:40 departure to Yokosuka Chuo
Take the train TO Kidzania. Please bring yen for the train. If your child requires a ticket, they are usually half of the published fare rounded to the nearest 10 yen.
PLEASE MEET AT MAIN GATE @ 12:30 so we can walk to the Yokosuka Chuo. We will leave the main gate (by ATMs) @ 12:40p prompt.
PLEASE eat lunch before coming!!
School gets out at 10:45a that day so there should be plenty of time between school and our trip!
If your child wants to bring something to entertain herself on the train that is okay, but please know that you are responsible for it. At least one parent is coming from every family so that works out.

There is an 8 minute walk (according to website) to Kidzania. Plan on eating an early dinner. The kids won't want to stop what they are doing to eat, but any job that they work at Kidzania that involves food they can eat the product of their work so there might be small snacks at Kidzania in that respect. I will need to pick up the tickets there before hand.
Our shift is from 4-9pm. The girls will be exhausted when it is over!!

RETURN TRIP HOME – BUS!! I am having the Yokosuka ITT bus pick us up (since I do not want to navigate home with exhausted children on the train and the tolls are crazy high to get there). This fee is included in our cookie $$. I told the bus to leave Yokosuka @ 7:15pm, and I was told pending any traffic delays or accidents, they will be there @ 9pm to drive us home!! Yeah! I imagine that by the time we get to the bus and the bus driver starts driving, we will be home around 10:30pm. I plan on asking him to drop us off at the main gate (inside) where I imagine most of our cars will be. After the 9pm end time, we need to hurry back to the bus because we are charged by the hour!! If we take too long, it will end up costing us more!!

SUMMARY:
Bring yen/Pasmo/Suica for train ride TO Kidzania
Bring sack dinner (adults and kids) for early dinner (plan on eating around 3:30p)
Bring something to do on train ride… :) I imagine that they will crash in the bus on the way home!
Adults only – camera
Adults – you can walk around with your child (but you cannot participate in their "job"). I have been told that there is an adult lounge upstairs that you can view Kidzania and relax too. Another adult who went in the past said to bring a book! :)

We are at Venice

Pls click the thumbnails to make the photo bigger. We are Venice! Well, we are at Venice side at Mira Costa Hotel LOL.




Benjamin and Mary were looking down the canal, this was our view in our room. People are in line to ride in the boat. Benjamin kept asking us if we could ride but we did not. It seemed that we overlooked it.


Early morning, Mary wanted to open the window. She could not open it so wide. They put safety latch on kids to keep the kids safe.


She was very persistent in opening the window. Looking down the boat as we pointed it to her. She said" ride" LOL.


You can see the monorail at the farback and also the haunted mansion. This is still the view from our room.







My lovely daughter trying to make a mess.... As always, she is my beautiful and adorable girl. No matter what... hehehehhehe... big MAMA compliments. No objection!

Tokyo Disneyland - at the entrance of the park

Please click the thumbnail to make the photo bigger.

I just love the entrance of the park. It is really different from Disneyland in CA. Here's our photos at the entrance:









They are celebrating the 25 years here in Tokyo. It is pretty cool year for us to visit here at the park. I found everything interesting.

Disney Sea at Mermaid Lagoon

This is a great place for kids at Disney Sea. Even Mary was enjoying it. She was scared by rides especially dark rides. Click the thumbnail to make the photo bigger. enjoy the photos.



When you go inside the Mermaid Lagoon. This is the first thing that you can see. King Triton's riding in a Dolphins. Pretty cool idea.


As you walk more, you can see this sign it here where Mary standing up.


This is the cool thing they put as you continue walking inside the Triton's Kingdom. It is very dark with some glowing colors on it.


Brian and benjamin riding in a jellyfish. They had fun.


More photos of them .... still at the Jellyfish ride.


Benjamin was playing inside the Mermaid lagoon play area. They have a small area for little one who are not allowed to ride.


This is the inside of the lagoon. Did you the whirpool, it is just like a tea cup ride.


Here's Benjamin and Mary riding in a tea cup. Mary got scared and the cast member noticed that Mary was scared. They stop the ride and asked us if we wanted to ride more and then we said "no". I feel sorry for Mary, it seemed that her adrenalin went out a lot. Poor baby!


This is the ceiling to the Mermaid lagoon theater. It is just like bubbles. Benjamin and Mary were trying to reach it eventhough it is high.


MORE PHOTOS INSIDE THE LAGOON. I AM NOT SURE IF YOU CAN SEE FISH RIDE.

The Hidden Mickey at Mira Costa Hotel

Brian is fascinated with hidden Mickeys. We bought a book where the Mickey were hidden in every resorts and parks. It is fun though.
