Disney Sea- Tokyo Japan
















Hi All,

Well we navigated our way from Yokohama to Toyko to Disney via walking plus four different trains. You would think we should get a medal for that! The trains are quite confusing and you have to really search for English which sometimes isn't much of a help.

Disney Sea is kind of a park with a "around the world kind of theme" . If its hard for you to understand why one might go to fantasy park like this while you are experiencing the real thing, think of how Traci and I felt. Of course it's for the kids and it was nice to see their excitement.
As you might imagine it was crowded, I don't think they have a shut off point based on how many people were in there. The Japanese really seemed to like it , we noticed it was a place where we saw allot of couples on dates! The lines for any ride were very long - Disney does lines two ways. 1. You can just stand in one 2. you can get a fast pass and when your time comes up you go to the front of the line. Example to ride the roller coaster the wait was 3.5 hrs! the fast pass 9 hrs !
We had a good look at a city made to look like a casaba or old Medina in Morocco. The girls thought it a bit phony since a couple months ago they were riding a real donkey wearing traditional scarves through a truly crowed Medina in Fez w/ all the real smells and sounds that go along w/ it.
We were all surprised and happy to see a whole area themed after Cape Cod! We couldn't believe it . They probably had a section for each continent and Cape Cod was North America! Alas it was Disney, but thanks for the effort and recognition.
We rode on a submarine 20,000 leagues under the sea which was neat.
Finally it was time to go to our Hotel (thanks Bump) . We all took showers or bath's and put on our Kimonos to settle in for the night.
Best

Now all my kids have been to Disney ... I am officially done w/ that business
