Japan Diaries: Day 19

Day 19 January 6, 2015

Tokyo DisneySea Day 2


Good morning Tokyo, I mean Chiba Prefecture! It looks like it's going to rain later in the afternoon according to the weather forecast (No!!!). Despite this not-so motivating news, our excitement level is still at 100%.
Tokyo DisneySea

Today, by the way, is Day 2 of our Disney theme park adventure. Our destination today is Tokyo DisneySea. As far as I know, this is the first and only one of its kind among all the Disney theme parks around the world.
Looks sort of Universal-ish to me...

Whoa! Am I still in Japan?

During our stay in the theme park, I came to the conclusion that Tokyo DisneySea could be more appealing to adult tourists because of its more challenging rides. Aside from that the theme park also boasts lots of picturesque attractions and places that older visitors would surely appreciate more. (Well that's only my point of view other people could still contest that.) 
Is this Chip or Dale?

I tried squeezing our schedule so that I could enjoy all the rides and of course take pictures all in one day. However, it proved impossible (even if we have the FastPass). Well, it just proves that you can't really have it all. 

Anyway here's how we spent our day in Tokyo DisneySea:

Rode an Arab ship to the Gulf

then transferred to an Oceanliner

before diving into Atlantis

...then suddenly found ourselves in Peru in search of the Crystal Skull...


...but was captured and was about to be sacrificed in a Mayan pyramid

...but escaped to England and rode the Tower of Terror

...then teleported to India

...before shouting like a madman in Hollywood

Overall, I truly enjoyed the beauty (and rides) of Tokyo DisneySea. I would highly recommend it to those who are planning to visit Tokyo, I mean Chiba Prefecture.

Time to go home!

We finally called it a day at Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel Club Resort
Location: Tokyo DisneySea, 1-13 Maihama, Urayasu-shi, Chiba-ken 279-0031, Japan
