We all woke up eagerly at around about 8.00, very excited and ready for what was the most anticipated day of the trip, to Disney Land’s DisneySea. After dressing quickly and packing our bags, we put on our yukkata and went down to breakfast for another traditional breakfast. We travelled by train to Tokyo Station and transferred trains to the JR line. After walking to the next platform, which literally took 15 minutes we boarded the train for Maihama station, the station in front of DIsneyLand. After arriving there we realised we needed to board yet another train; the monorail that circles DisneyLand, and after what felt like ages, we arrived outside the gates of DisneySea.
As anyone who as been to a Disney theme park will tell you, it is surreal. Just like a page taken directly out of a fairytale, or as if being placed into a movie set. Everything from the Popcorn sellers to the ground you walked on was decorated to suit the theme of where you were. We rode on many rides, and we were particularly looking forward to the “red triangle” rides – those rides that warned the old, pregnant and those with heart and back problems not to ride. “The Tower of Terror” an elevator that takes you to the top of a very high building, shows a nice view before dropping you back to the bottom, “Raging Spirits” which included a 360 loop, many of us took advantage of the Japanese line system, whereby “single” people can go straight to the front of the ride and avoid the 30-45 minute wait, this allowed many us to ride this ride 3-5 times. An “Inidiana Jones Crystal Skull” themed wild mouse ride, and “Journey to the centre of the Earth”. All of these rides had our hearts pumping and wanting to ride theme again and again. We did however, ride other less scary rides such as “jumping jellyfish”, a thunderstorm simulation, spinning fish boats and star fish rides.
All rides we went on were very fun, funny and memorable and our day there will always be remembered. After DisneyLand, we went to Shinjuku, the biggest railway station in the world, and spent an hour or so wondering around had dinner and did some shopping. So we made our way back to the Ryokkan and prepared ourselves for the next trip.
