♥~Cecilly's Japan trip Part 2 (DisneySea & Disneyland)~♥


18th January 2018, Thursday



A day to get lost in the one and only DisneySea in the world!!! A place where imagination & adventure set sail...

There's no iconic castle in DisneySea like what they have in Disneyland but a majestic volcano named Mount Prometheus that actually erupts every few hours...












Fluffy & I didn't manage to catch it when it erupted though, we were busy exploring yet we still couldn't manage to cover all seven ports of call...



I've been to 2 Disneyland before this & I'm still constantly awestruck by how magical & magnificent the place can be... If you thought you would just skip DisneySea for Tokyo Disneyland, please don't... Bytheway, that architecture of DisneySea is definitely something to worship for...



Look who we saw :o


A short summary on what we've played that day... Regretted didn't take more pictures of the landscape i'll have to borrow photos from Google hehe...

First port we visited : Mysterious Island
Rides we took : 20,000 leagues under the sea & Journey to the center of the earth






20,000 leagues under the sea was a dark ride which was carried in a submarine, we didn't really go underwater but the double pane windows with water and bubbles created the illusion of us diving deep into the ocean... It was so surreal I actually touched the submarine on my way out to confirm we were not under water...


Journey to the center of the earth, one of the famous ride

We queued 1 hour plus for this... I took the fast pass but then I lost it, haha hence the queuing :'(





First, we boarded on an elevator which was terrifying in both sound & visual to a base station to get on the ride... It was a fast ride with sudden rise & drop that pumped your adrenaline to a level higher... This was really fun & recommended but it was too short, literally queued 1 hour plus for what felt like 1 min of ride?







Second port we visited : Lost River Delta
Show we watched : Out of Shadowland
Ride we took : Indiana Jones Adventure


Its a performance inside a theatre & Fluffy fell asleep during the show, haha...

In spite of the Japanese speaking, the content & the message they delivered through the show was easily understood... It was worth watching & the female lead sang really well, best for those who needed a break to recharge, haha...




Another 1 hour queue for the Indiana Jones Adventure, a voyage into Temple of Crsytal Skull... A fast ride that heighten your senses in every possible way, fluffy was nagging all the way because he's scared until we came out from the ride he would be like :" Ok larr, not that scary actually, its fun instead" -_-

Because Fluffy's too old to take adventurous ride we skipped the 360 degree roller coaster, now I regretted taking care of his too fragile heart, haha..


Third port we visited : Mermaid Lagoon
Rides we took : Jumping Jellyfish, Blowfish balloon race





Haha, both rides required only 10mins of waiting & don't waste time on these, they were for kids... We had our quick lunch there... We took pizza & he nagged me whole day too :"Why we come Japan for pizza?"


Fourth port we visited : Arabian Coast
Ride we took : Carousel



Say hi to Aladdin's castle here, the place smelled of curry because of the restaurant there... Curry scent in Aladdin's homeland, isn't that a little too thoughtful of Disney, haha...


Fifth port we visited : American Waterfront



It was already past 7pm when we reached this port, oh yea, they closed at 7pm during winter... There's a famous acceraleted drop ride, the 跳楼机 inside of the Tower of Terror, we could hear all the screaming from way far...

Wanted to play that one, Urgghhh!!!! When I was having a hard time putting back my dropping jaw, Fluffy said : "Wow, luckily we come here last..." You know why he said that, coz his too fragile heart was saved *360 & another 360 degree eyeroll* ...

It looked so fun, sobs sobs... Reason 1 that I promise I'll return again...

It was past their opening hours, I was hoping to buy some Duffy plushies but all the shops were already closed...  Do you know that DisneySea is home of Duffy? the unique Disney character Duffy...

Was frustrated because Disneysea was the only place where you could get Duffy, even though I thought I remembered seeing it in HK Disneyland... Still, I wanna get my Duffy!!!! Reason 2 that I'll return...







Super beautiful at night... Next time I come, i'm gonna book 1 night of Disneysea hotel there!!!!

So yea, that's all for DisneySea...


Oh yeap, kindly reminder, do check on their show schedule before you decide your day of visit because there's no daily fireworks in Japan like in HK or Shanghai...


& I missed it the day we visited DisneySea I almost cried on the spot, reason 3 that i'll return one day... :(


19th January 2018, Friday


All day Disneyland !!!




We would be travelling in 4 from this day on as another pair of couple joined us...


I looked like a giant beside her, haha...




Frozen theme for winter...












The crowd was surprisingly low in Disneyland this day which was good for us...

We didn't have to squeeze like sardine for the parade, relax & easy until the whole parade ended... What's best was when we queued for the rides, woohoo!!!

Rides those usually needed at least 1.5H of queueing we waited for just 10mins till our turn to play, best feeling ever..






Met Rapunzel & Eugene!!! This Eugene is a true feast for the eyes haha....





I love this picture too much... Chipmunk holding Fluffy & I, there we go, off to our happily ever after haha...

We managed to try all the popular plus adventurous rides & still made it in time for souvenir shopping plus finding nice spot for the fireworks later at night, hahaha... Definetely a victorious day!!!!






It wasn't the usual fireworks that we watched, it was a for-winter-only fireworks show named Frozen Forever which entire story of Frozen would be played in a 30mins of summary...

It was too beautiful a flurry of emotions washed over me & my eyes were brimming with tears, could never get used to Disney, aww... Everytime I watch a firework in Disneyland, everytime I get too touched I cry...

We've been to all Disney in Asia now!!! 3 more left... Promise to work harder & save harder for Paris & US now...

After Disney, we made our way to Shibuya for food & shopping before we called the day...

Was intended to make it a 2 parts post turned out i'm too long-winded it'll need a Part 3, hehe...

20th - 23th of Jan in Tokyo & Fuji will be continued in Part 3, byebye...
