A Disney Odyssey

Today marked the beginning of our Disney Odyssey. On the agenda, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disney's Aulani Resort in Honolulu and last but not least, a cruise on the Disney Wonder from Honolulu back home to Sydney. All of it KID FREE. Fortunately for us, it was a relatively uneventful day. We arrived in Tokyo safely and the transfer to Tokyo Hilton Bay was also relatively straightforward even with Terminal changes. The Hilton Tokyo Bay Hotel is quite a nice hotel with beautiful spaces. Of note, they offer a discount at their restaurants to Hilton members... the higher the status, the greater the discount. Given that we are still hanging on to our Diamond status (something good had to come out of Covid), we received the maximum 25% discount. Fresh Connection is worthwhile mentioning. You can preorder while at the parks and pick up for consumption of a relatively healthy dinner in your room. Prices were very reasonable. There was also a minimart (Lawson) with an ATM near the lobby which was handy. 

We stayed at the Miracosta at our last two visits so this was a new experience. Malcolm did a recon run at the monorail to ensure we weren't derailed in our plans for tomorrow morning! We were then ready to crash.

As usual, if you are interested in Malcolm's musings, here is a link to his trip report on FindPenguin https://findpenguins.com/80tbgmubyiyed/trip/disney-sea

Baymax ready to rock and rock!

Qantas business lounge. Good coffee but the other food offerings were average

Our plane taking us to Tokyo

Let's fly!

Love the mini shoe horn that came with the slippers!

The cardigan was comfy! Except it wasn't for us to keep

The Japanese set meal. Looked good but not as tasty as it looked

The main

Dessert of pistachio cake

A very un-Albany thing. We checked in 3 suitcases!!! Us on the inter-terminal shuttle

Found the Disney shuttle

Everything was announced and displayed in English and Japanese

Quite spacious by Japanese standards

Love the plastic reduction. There's a jug in every room and ice and water stations on each floor

Still haven't worked out what this is

The bathroom

and shower with mood lighting that you can change

Not sure why we bought the alcohol...but the oyakodon was a winner!
