Wednesday – November 15
DisneySea Day!
We arrived early and the line was not as crazy as Disneyland, where in DL it was a big sea of people.
People lined up to wait to get in. This time I took a picture of our tickets when we had good wifi and was able to pull those up without being worried like we did the previous day.
When you enter DisneySea you are greeted by a large globe rotating on water. When you go through the archway you enter the park and see the volcano in the distance. We went to a café to get breakfast and planned our day. I got a premier pass for Toy Story Mania, so we headed over to the area. We had some time, so we walked around and went into a store and got a Duffy character plush.
Throughout the day the rides we went on were:
Toy Story Mania – Same as Anaheim and WDW, but it seemed a little faster.
Tower of Terror – Has a different story line, but ride is similar to WDW.
Journey to the Center of the Earth – a thrill ride that reminded me of Test Track, but the story of going to the center of the earth and unleashing creatures made the ride fun.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea – Japan’s version of the submarine ride, a little cramp but was enjoyable.
Aquatopia – Autotopia on water!
Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull – similar to the Indiana Jones rides in the U.S., but a different take with the storyline of the Crystal Skull.
Raging Spirits – A roller coaster with a loop, they had a single rider line, so was able to ride that quickly.
Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage – A boat ride that was cute.
Blowfish Balloon Race – flying gondolas that was themed for Mermaid Lagoon.
Nemo & Friends SeaRider – technology like Star Tours. The storyline is that you are shrunken into a small searider and Nemo and friends take you around the ocean.
A featured area that was well done was Mermaid Lagoon. You go down and you enter the area that makes you feel like you are underwater.
We didn’t eat as much snacks and we thought we would. We did have a couple of snacks in Mermaid Lagoon, and also tried the soy popcorn. We couldn’t find a popcorn bucket that we would want, so just got a small popcorn to try the flavor.
The parks close early in Japan, at first we thought that it was too early, but with the full day at the park we were happy to go back to the hotel and rest.
