The Opposite of DisneyLand

Speaking of free days, the schedule got flipped around again so only half an hour before leaving for the day I found out we were instead going to DisneySea today. Needless to say I flipped out and was reminded yet again about how awesome my life is.

The train through the Disney area has Mickey Mouse head shaped windows and handholds. And Disney themed elevator music. Thought you should know.

Oh, and DisneyWorld has nothing on DisneySea. At all. It may be smaller, but it’s got nothing.

I completely didn’t get the whole DisneySea name until I asked and someone said, “Because it’s the opposite of DisneyLAND. It‘s on the sea...” Hah. Right. I feel intelligent.

The details of the park were really just amazing in every way. I can’t fathom the amount of genius behind the people who created this from nothing.

Those of you who know me and my bravery (or rather, lack of) will be surprised to know I rode the Tower of Terror AND a roller coaster. I have proof... That will come eventually.

Just getting through it quick because reading about it probably isn’t as good as experiencing it.

1.) Some rides may have been better if I understood Japanese. Despite this, I still laughed and screamed with everyone else who actually knew what was going on.

2.) The Tower was SO worth it because of the holograms.

3.) The highlight of the Indiana Jones ride was the animatronic Harrison Ford speaking in fluent Japanese.

4.) We went on a Journey to the Center of the Earth. Twice.

5.) Disney + Steam punk = YES.

I also really liked how Stitch seemed vastly more popular than even Mickey as for as gift shops went. In the US he’s completely ignored, here he’s the secondary mascot. Japan likes my favorite Disney character! Cuteness prevails in Japan, I suppose.
