Tokyo DisneySea

On the penultimate day of our trip, we spent the day in Tokyo DisneySea, the only Disney park in the world themed to the myths and legends of the sea. We were joined by Shashank and Sadhvi. We reached the park early, around 7:30am and were still met with long queues. We planned which rides we would run towards and which ones we would book via the different passes on the app. We had researched on Reddit how to make the best of the day at the park. Sharp at 9am Divya and Sadhvi ran to queue for Tower of Terror while Shashank and I booked the first set of priority pass, premier access and the light show Believe successfully. Our plans for the day worked out and it was interesting to see how spending a couple of hours planning made so much difference to the experiences we could get through the day. We were able to go on all the popular rides with minimal wait time. We loved Soaring (the best ride of the day by a margin), Journey to the Center of the Earth, Indiana Jones and Tower of Terror. We also liked the Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast. We ended up meeting Abu and singing the Aladdin theme song, which was special because Shashank and I used to watch Disney’s Aladdin on TV as kids. We were a bit disappointed by the shows, partly because they were all in Japanese and some (Believe and the final fireworks) because they were just underwhelming. All in all, a great day at a great theme park.Read more
