Today was a heck
of an awesome day we woke up and went to class. After we went to class I went
down to the cafeteria where I hade some lunch after that I was kind of nerves
because I wanted to go to Disney Sea but the people I was trying to go with
already headed back to the hostel. With no one going back anytime soon I was by
myself to navigate Tokyo in order to go. I successfully made it back to the
hostel by myself for the first time with no problems. When I got back I had a
little while before I was going to the park so I picked up a pork bun and had a
little snack before I left. After about 30 minutes I met with Carter, Alyshia,
Katie and Gabby and we set off to the place where dreams come true in Japan,
AKA Disney Sea.
When we got to the
front gate we ran into some trouble. It turns out getting the point across that
you can run debit as credit did not get across to the people of Disney Sea, we
tried for like 30 minutes to get them to run it as credit but it was not happening,
after that we tried to get money out of the ATM inside the park with someone
following us in but it turns out the machine did not accept our cards either.
Finally Alyshia was nice enough to pay for us with her credit card, we
immediately paid here back in American money. After that adventure it was off
to the wonder that was Disney Sea. It was a huge themed park with about 5 rides
and several attractions. When we first got in we just walked around a little
bit and took some pictures. First we went into the little mermaid themed area,
which looked really cool. It completely simulated what it would be like to be
under water. In there the group got a bite to eat and then we hit the rides.
First up we road
the raging spirits ride. This was a traditional rollercoaster that had one loop
in it as well as some drops and downward spiral tracks. This coaster was fun
but not my favorite. After the raging spirit ride we went to the Indiana Jones
ride, which was an adventure ride that you went around and experienced the
crystal skull adventure first hand. My favorite part was where at the end a
figure shot a huge steam ball at us made to look like a fireball it was so
cool. After Indiana Jones we went on the tower of terror, this was probably one
of my more favorite rides at the park. It was very similar to the one in
America except that this one had a different story line. It was hard to know
what exactly was going on but from what I gathered from watching it was that
there was a guy who stole an ancient artifact from some tribe in Africa that
cursed him. When he got back to his hotel in America the curse caused the
elevator to drop from the top floor all the way to the bottom killing him
instantly. Other then that the ride was completely identical to the one in America.
After riding the tower of terror we got on the journey to the center of the
earth, which was truly an awesome ride. It started out slow but then near the
end accelerated to a very fast speed to the top of the volcano and spit you out
down a hill at the end of the ride. After the journey to the center of the
earth we road kind of a childish ride based off of the Sinbad movie It was
pretty much the same as it’s a small world after all but more updated and
themed. After this on the way back we figured up that we walked about 12 miles
that day, truly a fun filled awesome day!!!
