Their early morning was rather hectic. Yuto woke up with a hefty blush when he realized he had laid most of his body weight on top of the other during the night, but Minkyun could only giggle at it. A soft backhanded slap landed on Minkyun's chest when he teased Yuto during their morning routine. Unfortunately, the playing stalled them too long and time was running a little short.
After jotting water bottles in their backpack and applying a layer of sunscreen, Yuto had made sure his camera had enough storage space before they headed to the lobby.

Minkyun had researched a bunch about how to approach everything beforehand, but it was still quite confusing. The overabundance of information, noises, signs and possibilities overwhelmed the sleepy duo.
Minkyun did praise his past self for doing all the food reservations right, and they got a heavy filling breakfast down before finding themselves on a busy plaza.

This truly is a magical time that has nearly the same planning as a small military operation.

The park was more than overwhelming. While he had made sure to download that app for navigating this maze, he still had little idea where to start.

"Our first 'official' date is at Disneyland, then?" Minkyun remarked while eyeing around him.

"Are you bragging?" Yuto joked back and Minkyun arched an eyebrow.

"Well, how many people can say that their first date is in some overseas country at Disneyland?" he boasted.

"Okay true..."

"So, we should pick a ride we want on this," Minkyun informed with a chuckle. Yuto shuffled next to him to stare at the phone screen.

"Okay, so which will we do?"

"Uuh, while it's not busy, let's do the famous ones?" Minkyun suggested and looked for Space Mountain. After a few taps, they got a time to arrive and the duo finally set one foot in front of the other.

They took the time they had until the ride to just explore, find cute details and get adjusted to it all while Yuto froze the many buildings through a lens.
They peeked into random structures and avoided the sprawling mascots; both not being too fond of the horror.
With how early they were, the wait for their first ride wasn't too long.

"Where is Space Mountain? We shouldn't walk too far away from it," Yuto remarked, noticing the aimlessness of their meander.

"Oh, true," Minkyun got his phone back out and looked for their ride on the map, "Tomorrowland?" he said.

"Yeah, I totally know where that is."

"Okay, just down this main road and then the first right." Minkyun gestured ahead and gave his companion a playful shove.

The picturesque buildings they walked past were all a soft pastel colour. Small, nonsensical ads reminiscent of old cartoons decorated the many buildings. Shops, photo studios or snack stalls buzzed with people enjoying their time or yelling at their children.

Coming onto a roundabout, a pillar with rockets attached, and a sign shouting the name of their planned destination, called them into a futuristic side of the park. Everything was in theme with space battle and epic music sounded throughout.

Yuto placed his camera back in its bag and they walked up to a hallway. The walk to the actual carts seemed longer than the walk to this building.
The gray tunnels led them into the space station. With their pass to skip ahead a bit, they could walk past a line of waiting people and get behind a much shorter one.

The room they walked into was futuristic, fitting its name. Impactful music droned against the walls, intimidating the couple. Everything was a shimmering white or gray and the blue lamps turned the structure cold.
The carts puffed as they rested on the rails, letting new people in to scream at the g-forces ahead.
While just standing still, Minkyun's heart rate picked up, filling him with excitement.
