Tokyo Disney Sea
Last weekend I was at Disney Sea with Shirley. It took less than a week of planning. I don’t even remember why we went anymore. It was a good day, never the less.
The pictures narrate. I will suppliment.
“So Disney”

The train was running quite slowly, but I just had to try out those mickey hand rings.
“Universal Globe”

The idea behind the familiar Universal studios globe somehow made its way to Disney.
“Hungry Pluto”

In this picture we see the beloved pluto eating up some poor kid.
“Goofy”

Uh-hyug! You can almost hear that by looking at this picture. You know, that sound Goofy likes to make? (Aye.. will no one understand me)
It is my belief that lots of kids are actually afraid of those mascots. Just look at the pictures. They’re quite nervous. When I was a kid I avoided* the cartoonie people. During this trip i was able to get pass that mental obstical and function like a normal adult amongst them cartoon people.
“American Mura”

American Waterfront, or the neighbouring area. I almost felt like I was in Europe.
“Giant lens”

I can’t explain what this exhibit is trying to accomplish. There was a plaque beside it explaining the whole thing. Shirley took a picture of that plaque so its on file, if you ever need to know. It being a giant lens is already good enough for me.
“Navigation room”

They had joysticks set up around the room for controlling boats you see there. I went and grabbed a stick as soon as i entered. Just as I was all confused about why the stick is not doing anything, shirley says in her usual calm, “you have to pay.”
“Center of the Universe”

This we didnt have to pay. You grab a crank and turn it to move the planets around the sun, while your friend gets entertained by awe as to how idiotic you look, working so hard to accomplish something so banal.
“Trio”

We bumped into Goofy again at Port of Discovery. He was all dressed up differently. We didnt get a picture with him at the Mediterranean Harbour, but we finally got it here.
.. I don’t know. It felt kinda good having a wholesome hug with Goofy. I’m glad it wasn’t Jafar or the little Mermaid.
“Mechanical Fish”

There was a ride at the Port of D called “the storm riders”. Basically you go in, watch a CG movie while they spray water on you. That was our first ride so I was quite happy. Way better than sitting at Anpachi watching rice grow. By hind sight, however, that was a pretty bad ride.
What I recommand people do is, after getting on this ride, go to “Journey to the center of the Earth”. It takes you down to the volcano. They had fire burning in there. Dries you up pretty nicely.
“Port discovery + Volcano”

The volcano is quite cool. It puffs out smoke at regular intervals.
“S. McDuck”

I look extra young in this picture for some reason. And McDuck has a tongue shaped like a heart. Shirley’s fur hood almost looks like the duck’s hair.
“Playboy”

At first sight I thought mickey was hugging Shirley. The girl’s hair looked a little bit like shirley’s, plus the fur hood. Of course the jacket color is different, so I said at first sight.
“Stone bird”

“Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom”

The Indiana Jones ride was the best ride. We went twice. I would want a third time but the dinner was complaining from within my stomach.
“Good bridge”

I was casually skipping along the bridge, saying “hey, this is a good bridge.” Then some wood sticking out almost tripped me.
It’s a okay bridge.
“artistic blur”

I’m probably the only person that will post (not to mention keep) pictures like this. Instead of trying to make out anything, just relax your eyes and look at the colors. Better? No?
“Big whale”

This whale is actually a gift shop. It represents the gift industry gulping up consumers.
“Arabic Ball”

Incidently I had meatball curry at this area. I was hoping for something more real, but the curry tasted like all curry in japan. I love meatballs.
—abrupt end—
aaaaaawesome post JonY!
I think you looked kinda happy getting you picture taken with Goofy. I mean, on one hand, it is Goofy. On the other hand, it actually just is some Japanese guy in a dog outfit that is trying to grind on you…
DisneySea looks pretty wild. I hope I get to see it once. And I hope I can find a garden hose nearby to turn on goofy if he tries anything funny like that with me.
and you used banal in your post. excellent word!
Awesome pics!! I haven’t been to Disney (Disneyland specifically) in 15 years! *sulk*
“This whale is actually a gift shop. It represents the gift industry gulping up consumers.”
HAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!
Loved the pics! I want to ride the Indiana Jones ride!!
That’s the thing I’m talking about. Have to get pass that mental obstacle. There’s no guy. It’s just Goofy.
I like your animated bird icon! If i remember correctly it’s from Pixar’s “For the love of birds” ?
“For the Birds” yes, I love Pixar!!
Woah! This post makes me almost want to go to Disney Sea! You know, goofy could also be a hot Japanese girl…. O.O
I do want to go!
I will never know who hugged me.
