Japan Trip: Day 13 (26 Nov 2009)

After our somewhat disappointing visit to Tokyo Disneyland yesterday, we headed to Disneysea today. From what we have read, most visitors find Disneysea to be better themed and more fun for adults as compared to Disneyland.

We alighted at Maihama station and realized that Disneysea is located at some distance away. Seems that most visitors take the Disney Resort Line to get there, but we decided to save on the ticket fare and walk to the resort. A single trip costs 250yen and a day pass is 650yen.

Anyway, turned out that it’s really not that far to walk – took us about 15mins, after asking for directions and following other people who looked like they were also going there. It was a hot and sunny day and I was melting when we reached the resort.

The resort is divided into 7 ports of call.

Here’s the Mediterranean Harbor, and you can see the volcano (part of the Journey to the Center of the Earth ride) at the end.

We boarded the Renaissance ship later in the evening and there were some cool scientific displays in it. We found many people “camping” at the top and shielding themselves from the cold wind, while waiting for the Candlelight Reflections show to commence. It was interesting to note that they were well-equipped with mats, blankets, snacks, etc!
