AFL Brownlow Medallist Jimmy Bartel and his new girlfriend Lauren Mand have been enjoying a romantic trip to Japan, which has taken them both back to their childhoods.
The former Geelong Cats star and Mand have been enjoying the sites of the popular Asian destination by hitting up Tokyo DisneySea, a 176-acre theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort just outside Tokyo.
Mand posted a selfie of them both at the theme park, where she wore Minnie Mouse ears with a shoutout to Bartel in a caption that read: “Hey Mickey you’re so fine.”
He was wearing a Goofy-inspired hat.
They also roamed around the streets of Tokyo in a real-life Mario Kart where they both dressed up as Mr Potato Head and Dory.
They posted a series of photos with Mand commenting it felt like she was living out her inner child.
“Living out my childhood in real life. Such a highlight seeing Tokyo at night, driving around like Mario Kart,” she wrote.
They also went to an art exhibition at the Mori Building Digital Art Museum, the world’s first digital art museum in Tokyo.
Before getting to Tokyo, the couple also went sight seeing in Kyoto.
