TDL 12:30- The park was very crowded for the first time in a long time. Compared with usual Saturdays before the earthquake, it may be not so crowded. But I have been getting used to the park being quiet these past two months, so I felt like it was really crowded. It was a rare nice day in the rainy season, it was a Saturday and the discount tickets were being sold. So, many people came to the park and I heard that it took two hours to buy tickets at the entrance in the morning! I think it's not a good idea. Many Guests with one day passports may not visit the park again if they waste two hours just to buy a ticket.

Attractions were crowded but Guests waiting for the parade were not so many. It means that most Guests today were with one day passport (= not TDR fanatics).

The waiting time for Fairly Tale Hall and PhilharMagic was very long for the first time in a long time.

TDS 13:00- This park was also crowded. I hear that the queue for the ticket booths was very long and reached to the bus stops in the morning. The wind became a bit stronger in the afternoon.

They must be exhausted by humid weather and the crowd.

Here are the pictures taken on the day before yesterday. In my neighborhood, four apartment buildings are in danger of collapsing because of the earthquake, so residents had to leave the apartments as soon as possible. Some of them left a lot of garbage and furniture in front of the building when they moved, and it was an awful sight. A stuffed Pooh was also left in the rain. Someone who was very kind put an umbrella over him. Poor Pooh...

Today, Pooh was still there...
