Japan Trip – Day 4 – Tokyo Disneysea (東京ディズニーシー)
December 16, 200816 December 2008
Woke up slightly later, since we should make full use of the hotel room having spent a bomb on it.
Spent some time to pack up and stuff some of the stuff we got yesterday into the bags before checkout, and going over to Disneysea.
Had breakfast (instant noodles + milk) bought last night.
Previous Day Loot
Breakfast
Japan's Meiji Milk
Soupy
The soup texture feels more solid, than the normal watery stuff we get, really, normal instant bowl noodles we get in SG = no fight! Lose la.. why don’t we have nicer ones, even HK ones taste better than SG ones. Ranking now would be Japan > HK > SG.
Packed up after breakfast, and went to the bell desk to deposit our luggage while we go off to Tokyo Disneysea (東京ディズニーシー).

Hotel Lobby 2
Our hotel stay comes with a complimentary pass to take the monorail towards the other Stations.
Disney Train
Really lots of cars, how many people visit this place?
Disneysea Station
Arrived at the Disneysea station a few stops later, and were greeted by the Giant water globe at the entrance.

Main Entrance 1
Main Entrance 2
The 1st spot from the main entrance is the Mediterranean Harbor, which looks very Venetian.
Walkway
Mediterranean Harbor, Feels like Venice
View of the Volcano
A Flower Cart
Us with the flowercart
Was a pretty sunny and clear day, which made the water glisten a lot, which also made the whole place a great photo taking spot.
Ships over the horizon
Crossed over to the Mysterious Island over the water (that volcano place).
Little Italy
Mysterious(?) Island
Steamy Mountains
Really Young Mums
Spotted those 2 girls, really noticed many such young looking mums around, unless they happen to be Big Sisters.. which, I kinda doubt. Went to take the ride 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, which simulates a submarine going down, but which is actually dry, so it’s wet, yet it’s dry… lol.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Next up was Mermaid Lagoon along the way, the rides here are kiddy, but the main attraction would be Ariel, yep, the Little Mermaid, who had such a long Q… So we carried on walking, and reached the Arabian Coast, where it’s themed around Aladdin (& Sinbad).
Mermaid Lagoon, 90 mins Q to see the mermaid though
Arabian Coast
Arabian Coast town square
Entered the town square area & popped by the Magic Lamp Theater, a 3D show involving some wizard, and the magic lamp.
Magic Lamp Theater
Horse Carousel, without horses
Genie & Stitch, They make good blue friends
Wandered around Arabia a little while while looking for food. Japanese girls really do love (and know how to) pose, dress up and do all sorts of other look pretty things.

Loli in Arabia
And going along with the theme of the place, the restaurant here serves Indian styled food, ok.. more like lookalike, Indian Naan with Japanese tasting curry… interesting to say the least.
Lunch - Curry Meatballs with Naan
Add a tea pudding dessert & a salad
And what’s better than being lost after your meal? Next up… Lost River Delta, themed around the Amazon, and with it, Indy Jones and stuff.
Lost River Delta
Fishing Village Feel
Bridge out of the Lost River Delta
A plane & beautiful water
Across the bridge lead us to Port Discovery, where we had a ride on some water spinning thing around geysers, no photography on it though..

Next to port discovery was the American Waterfront, where we also took a “cruise” around the park.

Fire Fighters (not)
Santa & Duffy in the Background to wish all
Please shoot this person who thinks that the stairs are more important than the Xmas Tree
Lovely Hotel, except that the lift free-falls you
Dale the Newspaper Chipmunk
Finished one round
Finished one round, though we kinda missed quite a few rides, time’s short.. Qs are long.
Another million smiles (Shoot this guy too)

Took the Disney Resort Line back to the Hotel to collect our luggage which we brought back to Andon to keep, before heading for Shibuya Tokyuu Inn where we would spend the night for our next day’s trip.
Station Back
School Girls doing whatever they do at that age
Noticed something interesting on the washing machines at Andon.
No dogs in the washing machine please
Shibuya Station
Shibuya Tokyuu Inn
Also saw this intersting thing by Shibuya station, which was ticking by the second, just now idea if it was a monthly, weekly, or daily figure.
Power Usage?
Had our dinner, Ramen!!
Dinner place
I must say, the ramen is really great! And it’s a big big big bowl, like lots of noodles, cheaper than a bowl at Ajisen’s in SG, for more. Noodles are just Q enough.
Loved the soup, as well as the egg, cuz it’s that kind of semi fully boiled kind, with the yolk still 3/4 solid, but still a little runny for that yum factor.
金のごまラーメン - Golden Sesame Ramen
味噌ちゃしゅうラーメン - Miso Charshuu Ramen
There’s a black sesame version, black soup anyone? Walked around the streets of Shibuya this time round after dinner.
Guy Soliciting Girls (Saw him talking to them for quite some time)
Lingerie Sets are cheaper than clothes... At least it's proportionate to cloth used
Popped by HMV to get Ayu’s Green/Days single, which was just released, for Aya, and mananged to get a membership card, which gives us discounts, and seems to be international.
HMV
Ayumi Green/Days
Saw a familiar red light on the way.
Krispy Kreme - Hot Now = Fresh Donuts
The nice thing is, we get to see the donuts being made fresh, and they individually wrapped each orignal glazed donut and handed them over to us free, before we even placed our order, talk about great service.
Donuts Floating
Popped by to 109 since Dear wanted to get some hair accessories, she ended with a furry beret, since I noticed that it cost the same as a rubber schrunchie. The bad thing was that the shops are already closing at this time. (~9pm)
Accessories Shop
Shops are closing
So.. it’s back to the hotel.
Vending Machine along the way
