Tokyo Disney Sea
• 3 comments •
Tokyo Disney Sea is an amazing and ridiculous place. Imagine all the Disney characters you grew up with walking around speaking Japanese, cosplay everywhere you look, and entire groups of people and couples in matching themed outfits.
This theme park was my first Disney park experience nearly a decade ago. Alex had been to Walt Disney World as a kid, and we went to Disneyland together for Christmas once. Because we had such an amazing time during our first trip to Tokyo (and this trip was very much about re-doing the things we did the first time), we threw it on the itinerary. Of course, trying to recreate the magic of an experience isn't always the best idea...
Unlike our Disneyland visit, where we did extensive planning to architect the ideal ride schedule (and only waited in 2 lines!), we foolishly chose to just wing it at Disney Sea because, from what we remembered, it wasn't that busy - big mistake. I think there was some school holiday at the time and the park was packed. We didn't get to go on many rides because the lines were out of control but it was fun just being there. Since we just spent the day walking around sight-seeing and sampling the snacks and various popcorn flavours, we took way too many photos.
After riding the monorail to the park entrance, Disney Sea is split into various themed sections: the ornate Mediterranean Harbour, Jules Verne’s Mysterious Island, the Mermaid Lagoon, Arabian Coast (aka Agrabah!), the Indiana Jones inspired Lost River Delta, Port of Discovery, and the quaint American Waterfront.
These are the (too many) images we took during the day and some ephemera from our 2008 trip... so, settle in for some scrolling. Tune in tomorrow for pictures of the park after the sun set. - Mina

I wasn't sure that I wanted to go here on my trip but it looks so different than the one in California and who doesn't want to go to Agraba :)
