So what do you do when you're in Japan on Thanksgiving? You go to Disneyland, of course!
This year, for William's birthday, instead of a party we gave him a couple days of Disney with friends. This is his friend, Stefan.
We did really well on lines, until the end of the day. We rode Thunder Mountain twice in the morning, and once again in the early twilight.
Kanto area (the plain that Tokyo and where we live, Yokosuka) is awash in fall colors. Disney was also beautiful. This is on the Thunder Mountain ride. It doesn't do the colors justice, but I wanted to show one of the seasons that is worth seeing here.
Thunder Mountain is a favorite ride. A gold rush era train roller-coaster, we always have fun on it.
...and so does William!So, what does one do for FOOD on turkey day? Have turkey, of course!
...Japanese style. We have never tried the turkey pizza before. Seafood is much better. But, it was turkey day...
Turkey dinner, pizza-style. While we were sitting here eating, a parade passed, and it 'snowed' Disney=Magic-style (tiny soap bubbles).
This is the turkey pizza. Think ground turkey in a sloppy joe sauce, then add cheese, green and red bell peppers and put on some mayonaise... it wasn't too bad, although William only ate a small bit of it.
So, of course we had to have a snack of popcorn. I am wearing my popcorn Mickey Mouse ears hat I bought at Disney World in the states. The Japanese, who love popcorn, kept saying it was 'cute.'

We are eating soy sauce and butter flavored popcorn. We passed honey (I didn't like the smell) chocolate (that smelled AWESOME), and curry. Gotta love the Japanese love of flavored popcorn.
Our late-dinner was turkey legs. William ate a lot of this one. It is cured, so it tastes like ham. The turkey legs here are smaller than the ones in the states, and a little better tasting, in my opinion.
Tim is in his yellow coat. The center tree was lit. William said, "Want to see the most amazing thing I've ever seen?" Really? This tree?

I'll have to try soysauce on my popcorn. I almost think it could take the place of salt.
