Japan Trip: DisneySea, Tokyo

Japan has two Disney theme park: DisneyLand and DisneySea. The entrance ticket for each Disney is 6,200 yen. Since it was not cheap for me and I didn't have enough time to visit 2 Disneys park, so I had to choose. My choice goes to DisneySea, because DisneySea only in Japan, and I can visit DisneyLand someday in other cities like Hong Kong, Paris, or Los Angeles.

Once I arrived at Maihama station, I had to take another Disney Resort Line to get to DisneySea. The train has Disney theme like Mickey's head shape window and hand grip. The train stopped first at DisneyLand and then continue to DisneySea.

Arrived at DisneySea, I saw a globe with 30 years words in it, I guessed Disney just celebrated its 30th anniversary. And not far from there, I saw Mickey Mouse gave his autograph to his fans. But when I wanted to take pic with him, his assistant said that Mickey wanted to take a rest first.

When I entered the DisneySea gate, it was the time for The Legend of Mythica show that was played at the Mediterranean harbor. Actually I have already spotted some attractions that I wanted to visit, the first one is Journey to the Center of the Earth. This is a roller coaster ride inside the artificial mountain of Mysterious Island of DisneySea. Because the queue was too long, so we decided to get the fastpass. In Disney, you don't need to pay additional fee to get the fastpass, you just need to be smart enough to manage time in using your fast past. My fastpass stated that I had to return at 8 p.m if I wan to use the fast pass. So in the mean time, I decided to have lunch and take a look at other attractions.

Another attraction that I wanted to visit too was Indiana Jones Adventure, but when I arrived there, the park assistant said that the attraction was closed due to maintenance. The shape of the attraction was looked like an Inca tribe pyramid. So I was interested to take a photo in front of it.

What I loved about DisneySea is its view. They really put 110% in creating the park. So even if you don't take any ride, you still feel happy in there. So the tagline "The Happiest Place on Earth" is the rightest description for Disney's park, including DisneySea.

I don't know what happened with the crack on the wall, but many people interested in it.

Every attractions has its own theme and unique appearance. The visitors also looked interesting, most of them bought and wore the Mickey's, Donald's, or Goofy's hat. But when I wanted to buy the same thing, finding out that the price for the hat was 2,000-2,500 yen, I stepped back and changed my mind. It was quite expensive for me, remembering that I might not wearing that hat again when I go home.

These two students looked so cute with their buns

The cheapest snacks that I ordered in DisneySea was popcorn. It sold popcorn everywhere with various taste. My favourite was Corn Potage. I also tried the strawberry flavor but I was just not into it.

When the night come, DisneySea became more beautiful in neon light. There was also some attractions in indoor playground at the Mermaid Lagoon, but most of them were attractions for kids.

When I visited the park, it was close to Christmas time, so DisneySea had special show showing a giant Christmas tree in the midle of the lake.

And to close the day, Disney also has a show named "Happiness on High" where we could see beautiful fireworks sparkling in the clear sky. I even could see fireworks in as shape of Mickey's head shape.
