27 July 2010 - Tokyo Disneysea!!!

Finally heres the post on Disneysea!!!
Jia have been so busy these two months with project and my own 21st birthday celebration!!! haha Im 21... wonder if it is a good thing or a bad thing... Anyway I shall post about my 21st celebration, but I should finish posting about Tokyo first DX

Jia have been to Disneyland but this is my first time at Disneysea... This time round Jia will be going for both cause I got the two day passport which cost Y10 000 wee... If you r planning to go for the 1 day passport it will cost around Y5800...

This is the very famous globe you will see upon arriving at the entrance of disney sea... Although I always find it contradicting why Disneysea is using a globe similar to the one of universal studios, nevertheless I still took a photo of it haha..

This is the entrance to Disneysea... It totally dont feel like its a part of Tokyo



Im all set and ready for my Disneysea day!!! And for once there is wind!!!



Upon entering disney sea, you will step into the Mediterranean Harbor...
This is the very famous mountain of Tokyo disneysea and alot of people crowding along the river to view the day parade which I decided to give it a miss cause there is lots more to play!!!



The first section to conquer... American Waterfront...
Heres the fake ship called S.S Columbia which look totally real



Some deco at American Waterfront



The first attraction that I went was the newest attraction in Disneysea... Turtle talk
Reason being that the waiting queue is inside an air conditioned room haha... its really a torture staying outside during summer...

Turtle talk sounds very kiddish for me at first but its totally worth queuing for... Turtle talk is basically having a conversation with the turtle crush from finding nemo... You will be seated in a room with a screen in front which they claim is device to communicate with the turtle. Young children will be seated in front where they will be passed a mike where they can ask as much questions as they like to the turtle. Crush the turtle makes different facial expression, answers all sort of wierd questions that the kids ask and looks totally real cause its 3D...damn cool!
However, the turtle only speaks Japanese DX so people who dont understand Japanese you can forget about going for this attraction...

Here is a fake map of the ship that I took while queuing..


A final picture of the ship...



Isnt this lighthouse cute...



After that we headed to Port Discovery and took the second ride of the day.. Aquatopia!

There are two routes to choose at Aquatopia... a dry ride and a wet ride... well Jia headed for the wet one.... afterall its summer! We should all get wet!!
We are seated in pairs on some watercraft and the boat set off whirling around rock formations, whirlpools and fountains... I got quite wet as the fountain just sprayed water directly on my head haha it was fun but short... Most importantly every ride is different as where the watercraft is heading to is at random...



Some scenery at port discovery



Salt caramel ice cream which comes in an exclusive Disneysea case DX



Orange flavored mickey head ice pops...



After eating ice-cream, we headed for the next ride called Storm rider. Sorry I did not take any pictures as I did not really spent time queuing haha... Its basically a simulation ride. You will be riding into a storm with lightning and water falling on you! Well the water part really caught me by surprise haha but its still fun nevertheless D=

After the ride the next place we went to is the lost river delta...



This place is full of rocks, an ancient temple and a stone pyramid...



Heres the godly pyramid... D=



There is two main rides at lost river delta... Firstly is the raging spirits which is the roller coaster ride with a 360 loop, so its over my dead body that I will ever take that haha...
The second one is called Indiana Jones, Temple of the Crystal skull... there was a long queue therefore I got the fastpass
And headed for some snacks...
This smoked chicken leg was just totally delicious... and expensive haha but o well its really nice... a must try!



There was some construction on the way to the Arabian coast...



Here is something interesting that I spotted... its a Duffy photo taking seat in which you can put your Duffy plush there and take a photo with it
Duffy is the next in thing in Tokyo... every girl in Disney is spotted with one haha...



Heres the scenery with the Duffy photo seat...



Sindbad bad guy spotted haha I dont really know the name...



The next ride that I took was the Sindbad's storybook voyage... its a boat ride which takes you on a journey through Sindbad's story haha... I would say its more of a ride for young children...



At the exit of the ride, I think the building looks
very real so I decided to snap some photos...



A fake camel lol...



This building is actually a two level carousel...



This is the path to Mermaid Lagoon...



The underwater lighting makes it hard to take nice clear photos... but basically this place is more for kids... see the amount of strollers haha



After walking for so long, I feel hungry and decided to stop at the Sebastian Calypso Kitchen for a snack... this is my croquette sandwich... it looks good and taste good



This is the place where people sit down to eat... the whale is actually a souvenir shop... and the whale can open and close its eyes haha...



Some other ride at mermaid lagoon...



Nice deco...



After Mermaid Lagoon, I decided to head to mysterious island to take the Journey to the Center of the Earth ride which I took the fast pass earlier ago...









Some pink dressed people spotted on the waters haha...



Here is the entrance to the ride...



Some decorations at the waiting area...



Journey to the center of the earth is somewhat like a roller coaster ride... it starts of underground where you get to see wierd creatures and decorations. The car goes deeper where you will come face to face to a red fiery monster and before you know it, the car shoots up all the way. Suddenly you are on the top of the mountain and you will catch a glimpse of the whole Disneysea!!! And before u know it, the car went down the side of the mountain... It was so fast I did not even have the time to feel scared... I would say that Journey to the center of the earth is definitely my favourite ride...

After the ride I headed back to American Waterfront to take the Tower of Terror ride... On the way I stopped to view a performance... I spotted Mickey and Minnie mouse, the chipmunks and Goofy!!!








Finally its time for the tower of terror... At first I was very reluctant to take the ride as you could hear people screaming from the top of the tower!!!



This is the entrance to the ride...



Upon entering the so called haunted hotel, you will be brought into a study room and they will tell you a story of how the owner of this hotel suddenly disappeared and the hotel was cursed... then you will be brought into an elevator where you will be strapped onto a seat. The elevator slowly rises, then the door of the elevator opens and you realise you are at the top of the tower!!! Suddenly the elevator dropped and I was so scared I closed my eyes throughout the remaining of the ride... haha sorry ne it is really too frightening for me... but anyway when the elevator drops you will see the cursed statue then the elevator rises up again... and drop again haha

Thank god Im still alive after the ride DX



Below are just some random photos I took walking around Disneysea after the ride while waiting for the night performance, BraviSEAmo! ...
