Halloween at USJ

Friday I ventured to Universal Studios in Osaka where we were blasted with happy halloween cheer at every moment. Already. In Japan. I know...

The entry boulevard

Elmo is a pumpkin head wizard for Halloween

The central gardens


The park has an old movie style atmosphere


Mel's Drive in Diner


The town centre


A typical 60 minute wait for the SpiderMan attraction.
It was good, though.


The set from the WaterWorld attraction.
Remember that blockbuster? Uh...

Just stick a pumpkin in it and call it Halloween Lunch


The spider girls - some wacky costumes


Elmo makes an appearance in his "pumpkin-style coach"


Look! A pumpkin farmer


Big bird and Ernie get in on the act


Skeletons on wheels


Cute candy dancers


And who could forget Hello Kitty!


Halloween Hello Kitty

Watch it here.
Altogether now: happy, happy, happy halloween!

For dinner, we chose a place called the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

It's a franchise seafood eatery based on the movie Forrest Gump.


The plastic food on display in the window. Hmm, what to choose?


Mama always says ...

The drinks menu on a table tennis bat


Good company!

One day, 5 attractions, lunch, a parade, dinner - a pretty good day at USJ.

Until happy halloween,
Monica
