Chapter 23

“You really want to do this?” I ask Mia as we climb out of the shuttle bus. We’ve sent everything to the airport except for our passports, phones, and wallets. Our flight’s the last one out of Tokyo and we won’t need anything else.

“Absolutely sure,” Mia says, seemingly totally refreshed after yesterday’s long shopping trip and the passionate costumed encounter that led to us eating room service in bed.

My mask was ruined after I ate Mia out and she gushed on my face . . . but I can’t imagine a better souvenir than the slightly stained fabric that I tucked into my suitcase this morning.

We approach the ticket gate, and I reach into my pocket and pull out my wallet. Inside is a simple black card, and if you don’t look closely, you wouldn’t notice the Mickey Mouse ears embossed faintly in the plastic.

“May I help you?” the park attendant asks, her eyes widening as she sees my card. “Yes, sir!”

I let Mia stammer in surprise as we’re whisked through the normal gates, a simple signature on my part getting her free access to everything, and suddenly, we’re inside the park, although in a part not many people are familiar with. Finally, she can’t take it any longer.

“What was that? Are you CIA or something?”

“Close . . . Club 33,” I reply, showing her my membership card. “It’s sort of Disney’s VIP club.”

“I didn’t know you liked Disney that much.”

There are so many questions in her eyes, and I’m on the verge of telling her why I have this card, but now’s not the time.

I clear my throat, thinking back with a smile. “I . . . it’s a long story. So, where do we start?”

We end up starting with Splash Mountain, skipping the already eighty-minute line to climb right into the front of a log after only five minutes of walking, and as we go over the falls, it sets the tone for the day.

Again, we do a lot of people watching, and as we do, I notice the differences between Anaheim Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.

“Is that ten or eleven Snow Whites?” I ask Mia as we walk past It’s A Small World while munching on some strawberry flavored popcorn.

“I stopped counting anything after fifteen Elsas,” Mia says, giggling as a trio of princesses goes running by. “And I thought we enjoyed dressing up last night.”

“I doubt we could do that here,” I remind her with a chuckle. “Wrong genre, remember?”

We hit everything. The Mountain Trio, Splash, Space, and Big Thunder. Star Tours. Pooh’s Hunny Hunt. In each ride, we get to skip lines, going all the way to the front, even passing up the Fast Pass people to just walk onto a ride. All it takes is flashing the small rubberized wrist bands that we’re wearing, and we’re able to take the entire park at our own pace.

Even better are some of the ‘extras’ involved. “This is so cool,” Mia says as we walk through the VIP entrance to the Haunted Mansion.
