a woman smiled and waved at me like I was her best friend while changing a trash bag. a man serving popcorn looked at me and pointed like I was a relative he hadn't seen in years. literally every employee at universal studios japan is like this. smiling and waving with such excitement and enthusiasm that you can't help but smile and wave back. I have never felt so happy around total strangers before because they don't feel like strangers. this is better than any ride any snack or any character in costume. I leave any theme park in the US feeling like I've had every last dollar ripped from my pockets and I leave this place feeling like I didn't give them nearly enough. they make you feel like the main character, like the whole parade is just for you, and the keys to the (mushroom) kingdom are all yours. I know amusement parks aren't supposed to be magical anymore once you become an adult, but today feels like I had a spell cast on me and I can't stop smiling.
