DISNEY SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally went to Disney Sea. I’ve wanted to go there since I have been in Japan. With Tokyo Disneyland (which is actually in Chiba and not in Tokyo) being the #1 visited theme park in the world, DisneySea is left with 2^nd place. It was amazing. Jefrrey, Jimmy and I went and hoarded as many fastpasses as we could get our hands on and waited in line only about an hour for each of the other rides! Tower of Terror was amazing. It wasn’t as scary as I remember it from Disney World in Florida, but it was still fun and we only had to wait 40minutes to ride it and I didn’t have to hear my mom screaming the ENTIRE ride so it was a little more enjoyable.

The scariest ride by far was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Not scary like: OH my stomach is in my throat, we’re going to fast and oooh there is, like, a 100mile drop scary…but I THINK I MIGHT DIE scary. The concept is taking an adventure to the depths of the sea in a tiny submarine but I didn’t know until I got on the ride and all the doors closed around me that the submarine was only big enough to fit 6 people sitting, you couldn’t stand upright, it was about 10degrees hotter than the outside air, and there was no way out, plus now that I think about it, I think they cut down the oxygen levels in those things...It was a kids ride and therefore not meant for grown up bodies. There are little holes you can look out of from the inside of the submarine, the ride started, the windows bubble (leaving us in the dark) and we start our plummet down under the sea, then the windows bubble some more and you head further down, the excruciating process happens about 4 times before it is so dark you cant see your hand in front of your face then you go back up to the “surface”…followed by me running out of the ride as soon I saw daylight, knocking down anything in my path, including little kids and pregnant women… don’t judge me it was a matter of survival… Not cool! I hated the ride and started hyperventilating as soon as the doors were shut down on us thrusting us to the mercy of the sea. Anyways, besides my brush with death, we got to ride on every single ride we wanted to and ate some pretty good BBQ for lunch. We even saw a mariachi band (in JAPAN!) and went to a show titled “Mystic Jungle” which was a little like Chinese Acrobats only everyone was dressed up as jungle animals.

OH! Another thing: when a hotel offers you shuttle service to Disney Resort, make sure they offer you return service too! After coming out of Disney I called the hotel and they explained that they didn’t actually offer services coming BACK to the hotel which left us stranded in the mile long parking lot only to wander around aimlessly in search of a taxi. Not cool after you’ve already been walking around all day, another mile seemed endless!

So far in my quest to visit every Disneyland in the world I am over ½ way done (Disneyland L.A, Disney World Fl, Tokyo Disney Sea). The only remaining 2 are Paris and China! Now how many people can say they’ve done that!?!!?

THE BEST SIGN EVER IN TOKYO:

That's a big buddha! I made them do the jumping picture..hence the half hearted attemptThe picture that got me yelled at in BAPE!Even in Japan... so RANDOMcrazy Japanese art wall

The most important Shinto Shrine in Japan. There are over 84,000 shrines in Japan. The Shinto religion believes that people are inherently good and evil spirits cause evil deeds.

What Disney Character are you?

In honor of visiting DisneySea….I’m all in the magical spirit

You are part Jasmine. You are loyal and would visit the ends of the earth for what you believe. You would never let obstacles stand in the way of true love.

You are part Pocahontas. You defy convention and sometimes do what is considered taboo. Unfortunately, others do not always appreciate your differences, so it's good that you are so strong-willed. You are loyal and you believe in fate. Your true love will find you one day.
