A day in Disney Sea (February 2024)
DisneySea has been on my to-visit list forever, since after going to DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland I'll have visited every Disney theme park in the world!
Disney in Japan is a whole culture and I'm grateful I got to experience it. A few things I wish I knew that would've enhanced my experience:
1. If you can, stay on or near Disney Resort property. If you can afford one of the hotels, you get 15 minutes "magic entry" and don't have to wait hours before park opening. Another perk is prime viewing for shows.
2. Buy Disney Fastpass EARLY - may or may not apply to Fantasy Springs
3. Buy Disney Premier Access as soon as you enter. Not absolutely necessary for shows.
I bought tickets to go on a Monday, about two months in advance. It was not a peak day, so the ticket was ¥8,400 (at that time around $54 USD). I wish I reserved dining in advance too!
Arrived via monorail around 7:15 AM, here is our spot waiting until around 8:30 when the line moved a bit. In the meantime, it was entertaining to watch the monorail conductor wave energetically and frantically each time it looped every 15 minutes.
First Ride - Journey to Center of Earth
This ride is unique to DisneySea so it was one of my priorities. Even at rope drop this was about 15 min wait.
I was excited for matcha, but it just tasted like a generic slightly sweet popcorn.
Roaring Spirits
A short coaster with a loop. I think this ride is also only at DisneySea, and nice if theres not a wait and you want to ride a coaster, but not a must-do.
Indiana Jones (Adventure Temple of the Crystal Skull)
The queue had more skeletons than Anaheim Disney! There is a single rider option and that saved a lot of time!
Hat/Sunglass store outside Indiana Jones
I should've taken more merch pics- but was excited to buy these sunglasses.
Mochi Dumplings - waited 15-20 min earlier in the day
Transit Steamer Line - some views of lagoon area
Black Pepper popcorn near "Soarin'" - our favorite popcorn flavor of the trip
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - a very kid friendly ride. Not super memorable.
Zambini Brothers' Lunch
A soup, pasta, bread, churro, red wine, and 40th anniversary sparkling drink.
Mamma Biscotti's
Teddy Roosevelt Bar - 45 min wait
Nemo and Friends
A cute show - my favorite part was the audience saying "kawaii!"
Arabian Coast
Sultan's Oasis
