DisneySea!

For one last summer hurrah Chris, Brad and I went to Tokyo DisneySea. Tokyo has 2 different resorts, Tokyo DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland that we went to in February. We froze in the rain in February and this time we about melted away. It was so much fun though! This resort is only about 10 years old, so its fairly new. And it's beautiful! There are different themed "ports" around the resort with corresponding rides (it is not an aquarium like I thought at first). There is an American waterfront complete with a huge cruise like ship, a Mediterranean bay, a mermaid area (The Little Mermaid), an Arabian area (Aladdin) etc.

Disney truly is a magical place. When you get inside the park you really feel like you're transported to a different world. I remember going there with my family when I was in 6th grade about 10 years ago and loved it, but Tokyo is the only other time I've been to a Disney park. My favorite ride in Florida was the Hollywood Tower of Terror and I was so excited that they have the same ride at DisneySea.

The volcano that is part of the Journey to the Center of the Earth ride--the only one that we didn't get to go on... :(

The Indiana Jones ride. I think it's pretty new because it's based off the most recent movie.

Part of the old town American waterfront. That ship is huge!

This was going into the Little Mermaid area. They had a really cool indoor play park which as proper adults we just had play sardine's in. :)

This is the Mediterranean Bay. It was so pretty! And we actually had some pretty decent Italian food for dinner there too.

And believe it or not I really didn't take too many pictures. It was so hot, and we were all really just focusing on having fun. Chris has a couple of pictures of the three of us that I need to get from him and as soon as I do I will post it in here. I'll also post everything on Picasa if you want to see everything.

One more thing...after dinner we caught the end of the day pyrotechnics show. I didn't get any of my own video but here are some videos that I found online. It was probably one of the coolest shows that I've ever seen. First Mickey comes out on a boat (this is in the first video, so if you want to hear Mickey talk in Japanese, that's what takes up most of this clip) and then some cool water displays are made. In the second video the volcano erupts and a huge bird comes out of the bay and they start mixing in fire with the water. The third clip is the finale with a mix of all three. If you're going to watch anything, the 2nd and 3rd clips are the most interesting. Keep in mind that the whole park is situated around a bay, and the bay is where this show takes place. It is all completely performed over water. So neat!
