Day 2!!
Well, you wanted to know about it - so here goes.
Tokyo DisneySea
I once read on the internet that you cannot take a bad picture in Tokyo DisneySea...and they were right! This park is without a doubt, the MOST beautiful park in the world - even in the monsoonal type rain we had today! This park is spectacular in every way.
We got up this morning, looked out the window and muttered a few choice swear words at the conditions outside. It was blowing a gale and the rain was heavy and falling sideways. However, being diehards - this did not put us off - we put on plenty of layers to combat the 12 degree temperature and headed to the park.
On arrival, we came across the giant globe of the world at the front of the park. Passing under the arches, we walked into a Mediterranean village, with a view across the water to a medieval fort, old ships, and an erupting volcano - just your typical theme park introduction!! hehe.
After the obiligatory trip through the shops, we headed towards the new Tower of Terror. I might add here that because of the weather, there was hardly any guests in the park - every attraction was a walk on!
The TOT is different from the US ones in that they don't theme it to Twilight Zone - it is a different story and they have some great new special effects.
From here, we went up to StormRider which is a large motion-cinema type ride. Then on to Indiana Jones which is similar to the Anaheim one, but with some different special effects. This was followed by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and some other rides. Journey to the Center of the Earth was down today because of the weather - I'm really looking forward to that one.
Enough of the rides - let me just say that this whole resort - DL and DS are two of the best parks in the world. The case here are fabulous and language is not a problem. Food is terrific, transport is great as well.
This evening when we returned to the hotel, we caught up with Wayne and his wife Jennifer, then we met Barry and Julie, and then Matthew and Nicole arrived via taxi! So all the Aussies are here. We also met some of the US NFFC members - Erich and his wife Barbara, and their friend Lewis.
Tomorrow, we are all going back to Disneyland - I hope to update you all again after that. We intend to see some of the live shows then.
Sandie - I'm collecting maps - hehe.
My time is running out again. See you tomorrow!
Just realised this was my 1,000 post!!
