Disney’s Sea

This morning we met The Cousins at a predetermined location on the subway line and then made our way to Disney’s Sea amusement park.

It is a recently added park (2001) adjacent to Tokyo Disney.  This Disney park is unique to the Disney family.  It is located on a small island off Tokyo on the Japanese coast in the Pacific.  The entire theme of the park is based on various water settings like the Mermaid Lagoon, Mediterranean Harbor, and the Arabian Coast.  There are some familiar Disney rides, like Indiana Jones (except Indy speaks Japanese), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Tower of Terror. But much of the park is unique with rides such as the Raging Spirits roller coaster, Aquatopia (a takeoff of Autotopia), and Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage.

The weather was perfect.  The sun was shining and there was a breeze off the ocean. The park was also not that busy – another bonus.

We all had a wonderful time and are fully exhausted. 

On our way back to the apartment we bought food for breakfast and stopped at a traditional Japanese restaurant for dinner.  We sat on pillows at a table set over a big space in the floor for our legs.  For dinner we ate sashimi and hot pots. It was very satisfying after our strenuous day.
