Episode Synopsis


You know what’s a little crazy? I’ve been living in Japan long enough now that I’ve done some very specific things three years in a row. And I love it.






As always, there was a New Year “greeting” parade where the crew showed off their traditional Japanese clothes. Also say hi to the new TDR ambassadors.





You better believe I ran over to the other side of the park to catch the parade again, just to snap more photos.

Also, Berlioz was being cute.

It was a really nice day today. Chotto cold, but great light.


Did you know™ there’s a Club 33⅓ in Toontown? (It’s just a Kodansha sponsor lounge.)

So, my beloved pizza spring roll is long gone and I’m still sad about it, however big news today—there’s a cheeseburger bun that pretends to be Donald’s butt, and it is awesome.
Don’t make it weirder than it is.


I really like Max’s shoes.

I noticed Pooh’s Hunny Hunt had an 82-minute wait time, so I went over to snap a photo. The Cast Member was so ready. She knew exactly what I was walking over to do, stepped out of the way, and threw her hands over to point to the time that read 82 minutes, saying 「はに!」which is a short version of saying “eight two” that sounds like “honey.” I did not wait in that line.



I love when The Haunted Mansion has to stop for a moment for loading / unloading guests who need a moment, because it gives me a moment to snap really dark photos.


Happened upon so, so many characters today. Love what I can get just passing by with portrait mode.



G’night Disneyland.
