My Tokyo Disney Resort Plushies 私の東京ディズニーリゾートのめいぐるみ

Today I thought that I would show you a video of all of the Disney plushies that I bought at Tokyo Disney Resort in February 2014 (ah, this time last year I was in Japan having a good time...)

Tokyo Disney Resort Sweets

While I was at Tokyo Disney Resort, I decided to buy some sweets, because I like sweet things, and I liked the tin and bag that they came in!

In Japan, as in many places in the world, it is customary to purchase souvenirs for friends, family and even co-workers when you go on a trip. In Japan, the easiest way to purchase a nice souvenir for people, that usually doesn't cost too much money (as you often have to buy a lot of them) is to buy a food that can only be bought where you visited. A local speciality.

So, food intended for souvenirs often comes in gorgeous packaging, and generally will state where it was purchased either on the label, or the packaging itself. So, my chocolate tin actually states where it is from on the front, and so did the tag on the Minnie bag (and the individual wrapping on the candies too)!

By the way, the Japanese word for souvenir is お土産　(omiyage). 
The お in the word is an honorific that is used in the Japanese language to demonstrate respect. You can see it at the beginning of many words!

お金　(okane) Money
お父さん (otousan) Father
お母さん (okaasan) Mother
お酒　(osake) Alcohol

So, don't forget to buy some お土産 for your friends and family when you go on holidays!!!

Disney Fact Friday

It is time once again for Disney Fact Friday, so here we go!

Did you know that at Tokyo Disney Resort there is a CM dressed in a custodial uniform, who in fact does little mime acts to amuse crowds?

Here is a video of him, filmed and posted by 土本基子　 　Tsuchimoto　Motoko !

Minnie Mouse at Tokyo Disney

During my trip to Tokyo Disney in February this year, Luke and I met a lot of characters, one of which was Minnie Mouse. 

We met her at her Tokyo DisneySea meeting point, in the Lost River Delta, so this is the outfit that she wears there! I think she looks very cute!

While there, I was wearing my Disneyland 40th jumper under my ski jacket, so I decided to unzip that (and it was cold, so that was a demonstration of my love for Disney), to show Minnie and her attendant. They both really liked it!

If you would like, please show me your photos with Minnie Mouse in the comments section!

YouTube Channel- 土本基子 Tsuchimoto Motoko

I recently found another YouTube channel about Tokyo Disney Resort that I absolutely love! It is called 土本基子 Tsuchimoto Motoko. 

The videos on this channel are very interesting, and very cute! The lady who runs the channel seems to visit  TDR frequently (man, I wish that I could too...) and, I have to say that she is very lovely! Even though my Japanese is no where near perfect, she has been maintaining a very nice conversation with me on Google+, which I really appreciate!!! Thank you!

Here is one of her videos, just so that you can get an idea of the sort of thing she posts : ) 

Please enjoy, and if you like the video, please, consider subscribing to her!!!

土本基子さんありがとうございます！私はあなたのチャネルが大好きですよ！
