Disney Sea Tokyo 10-23-10











This weekend, we drove to Tokyo to see Disney Sea Tokyo!! We drove and it took about 3 hours to get there...after seeing how much traffic Tokyo has, I would never drive into Tokyo again...no thank you! The traffic was horrible during the last hour, but finally making it to the parking lot at Disney was exciting and it felt like being a kid all over agin!! :)

Once we arrived and stood in line for tickets, we were finally able to enter the park and see the amazing Halloween decorations and walk around the park. The lines were unfortunately very very very long for each ride, so I ended up only going on 2 rides the whole day. But, it was really fun to discover all of the different lands and see Disney characters like Minnie Mouse and Jasmine from Aladdin. I tried on ridiculously cute Mickey shaped ear muffs and bought some great gifts for family back home.

I went on two rides during the whole day: Storm Trooper and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Both rides were really fun and the second one was especially fun and a bit shocking. At first, the ride started out slow, but eventually it picked up a lot of speed and we started going down a steep drop and for a brief moment, out into the night sky from the top of the volcano. From the top of the volcano, you can see the whole park and it was beautifully lit at night with the Mermaid castle and the triton as well as Aladdin's beautiful domes and market.

So...if you can't go on rides because of the LONG lines, Disney also has other things...like EAT!! Yes, their snacks were super delicious and I was actually surprised that lunch only cost me $9. I had a cheeseburger and some Mickey shaped chicken nuggets. Later for a snack, I had a delicious churro and some caramel popcorn...it helped me get through the long lines! You need energy people! haha

Disney Sea is really unique and offers many different "lands" to discover such as the underwater kingdom, USA cape code, italian riviera, and many more fun places to discover. The park is smaller than Disney, but the amount of people made it feel like we were in the park with the rest of Tokyo. The experience was fabulous, but I would never return again on a weekend...
