Tokyo Disney Sea Hotel Miracosta

Stayed a night at Tokyo Disney Sea's Hotel Miracosta last week. The Tokyo Disney Resort features three hotels, and Miracosta is the only one connected directly to the park. You can easily visit your room for a short break or to drop off souvenirs, etc. Perfect on a warm day with a knee injury (me). There are several room choices, including views of the parking lots or various parts of the park. The better the view, the higher the price. We decided to go for a view of the Italian part of Disney Sea, directly above the Venetian Gondola attraction. The view was excellent. In addition to the views, the hotel features Disney themed amenities, cable TV, Mickey announcing floors in the elevators, hotel exclusives in the gift shop, more. Definitely worth a visit if you like Disneyland.

Hachioji Planet Park

Planet Park skatepark just opened a couple months ago in a suburb of Tokyo. I checked it out the other day, and the place was amazing. I've never seen anything quite like this in Japan. It just might be the biggest and best park around. There are areas for all levels and all kinds of terrain. The surface of the entire park is excellent, the smoothest cement I've ever skated. Feels like you're on ice. I only wish they had some transitions in the street area, like a quarter pipe or launch ramp or something. Everything there is banked. Definitely fun though, and well worth the 500 yen entrance fee.

Tokyo Auto Car-Wash Sucks

Had my car washed the other day at Tokyo Auto Car-Wash in Nakano. Got the works: a wash, steam cleaning of the underside, window coating, and body coating. It wasn't cheap. And when I got home, I realized these dumb-asses forgot to wax both tires on the left side. Not only that, they scratched a wheel. How do I know? Because I always clean them myself. By hand. When I returned to complain, they said they'd wax the tires, and denied scratching the wheel. Like I'm dumb enough to let these guys touch my car again? I didn't let them do the tires, and demanded they do something about the wheel. They again denied it, and refused to do anything besides wipe it off. Not sure how many of you reading this live in Tokyo and have a car. But if you do, do yourself a favor and avoid Tokyo Auto Car-Wash. They suck. And their work is totally not worth the money.

東京AUTO洗車. You suck.
And what's with your name?! Very original dumb-asses.
