Tokyo Disney Sea Continued

As we continue to walk around the "wheel" we move to the next area called the Lost River Delta. The 2 major attractions are Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull (which is very similar to the Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom) and Raging Spirits (a roller coaster). Rode the first one, did not get to the second one. Phil says we now have to go back to say that we rode all the rides. I don't think so. There is also a place to get on the boat that will take you around the waterway. That we did...needed a break and I had to get out of the wall to wall people. Here's a view from the boat...or maybe it was the bridge we walked on to get to the boat...



From this area you walk (and if you look in the middle of this picture and can make out the building, you may already have an idea) to the Arabian Coast. This has Sinbad's Storybook Voyage (again, a little hard to follow the story told in Japanese) The Magic Lamp Theatre (which was closed) and a big 2 story carousel. Here's a picture...and note the line on the left...not for a ride but you guessed it, for popcorn.



This area is actually called Mermaid Lagoon and has a lot of kiddie rides, like Toontown. Now we've made the circle around the wheel and are now going into the middle which is called Mysterious Island. Underneath a big volcano is the first major ride: Journey to the Center of the Earth. Pretty good.




The other major ride on the island is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Phil claims it's better than the one that used to be at DisneyWorld.

We watched the water parade during the day...


the volcano erupt at night...(exceptional camera work, Phil)


and watched the evening show, "Mythica" later that night. Totally squished and bumped by all the people crowding around the waterway. Seriously...there is nothing wrong with a little personal space, says the American.



Hope you've enjoyed our trip to Tokyo Disney. Now Phil can say he has been to every Disney that there is. A true feat to marvel. Tomorrow...our adventures last weekend.

so what's their deal with popcorn? do they not sell it in the chip aisle at the local market?

i can't believe all the people. I don't think i'd do very well there. i am always telling my kids at school that i need my personal space.
