Tokyo Disney!

Back to my Tokyo trip! So the next thing Craig and I did was go to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea. They are two separate parks, like Disneyland and California Adventure. We got a two-day pass to be sure we saw everything. We went to Tokyo Disney first. It is very similar to the Disneyland in LA except the skeleton at the Pirates ride and the narrator in the Haunted Mansion spoke Japanese. They are doing a special Hawaiian theme with Stitch right now, so you can see how everything has a hula feel. We also saw a hula performance at the shopping mall in between the two parks.
For the second day, we went to Disney Sea. It is the more romantic park for adults, which of course was wasted on Craig and me, but it was really fun anyway. It is pretty big, with rides I had not been on (except Indiana Jones). On one ride, the height limit was 195 cm, which is exactly how tall Craig is. They stopped him at the beginning of the line, and asked him how tall he is. I wasn’t sure at the time what he was in cm, so the 5 ft. tall girl picked a random beam to stand under to measure his height. Well, he had to slouch a little to fit under it, and we were let on. Right before we got on the roller coaster, we were asked once again about his height. I said it was fine and hopped in. Craig was a little worried, but it was fine. That ride was really slow and not scary at all. The best ride was the Tower of Terror. Neither of us had been on it before, and all the explanations were in Japanese of course, so we had no idea what to expect or what was going on. It was great! I haven’t been scared like that for a long time – at least since the last time dad chased me with a vacuum. We rode it 3 times.
The crowds were the same as in LA. I had expected worse. The food was a little different. They didn’t have the pretzels and ice cream cookie I always eat, but they did have a plethora of popcorn. And not just buttered – there was sea salt, caramel, chocolate, black pepper, and my favorites: curry and honey (not together).
Now I’ve been to Disneyland’s in 3 different countries!
