Cirque Du Soleil ZED/Tokyo Disneyland

I thought it would be fun to take the kids to a Cirque Du Soleil show as a surprise.  I found tickets through a travel company here that had tickets to the show and evening entrance into Tokyo Disneyland.  The kids knew we were going to Disneyland, but didn't know we were going to a show.
I always wanted to go to a show in Vegas, but never made it.  I heard the Japanese built this theater just for this particular show and it is closing on Dec. 31st.  Our friends, Mika and Tomo dropped us off and we starting walking towards the theater.
Rachel and Alex asked, "Where are we going?" and we said "Wait and see!"  Then, they saw the signs for ZED and figured it out.  They were like "Cool, but what is it?"  We got really good seats on the right side of the stage - 6th row!
Those of you that have been know what a great show it is!  They thoroughly enjoyed it and we all were in awe of the special talent and visual stimulation of the show.  After that, we walked over to Disneyland and it almost seemed like a let down PLUS it was super crowded with couples.  Apparently, Christmas eve it THE night for young couples in Japan and they were all at Disneyland.
We went on "It's a Small World" and some 3D movie with all the Disney characters speaking in Japanese. It was hilarious!  The lines for Space Mountain and other rides were about 2 hours long.  But the Christmas decorations were just like home.  We didn't stay very long, but went shopping instead.  Rachel bought a really cute Pooh hat and Alex bought a Tigger hat AND tail!
