Disney Sea - More for the adults!

Disney Sea was much different to Disneyland in that it is much better suited to the adults. There's not so much 'kiddy' stuff around. Jono liked this much better and I agree that the rides were much more exciting. The atmosphere was again alive with positive vibes as we took in the views...a volcano...mountains...city buildings and a pirate ship in a lake.

Disney Sea was also sectioned into themed parts; Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, Port Discovery, Lost River Delta, Arabian Coast, Mysterious Island and Mermaid Lagoon.

Again we wasted no time in jumping on the ends of the lines awaiting our new adventures. We went on;

1. 20,000 Leagues under the sea

2. Journey to the centre of the Earth - a small coaster that zooms in and out of the volcanic mountains and twists and turns.

3. Indiana Jones Adventure

4. Raging Spirits - A very cool coaster with a 360 degree loop!

5. Sinbad's Storybook Adventure

6. The Magic Lamp - A 3-D animation which interacted with the crew on stage.

7. Flounders Flying Fish Coaster

8. Tower of Terror (pictured)- THE BEST RIDE!!! You sit in an elevator, strap yourself in and then they turn out the lights. The elevator lifts high, stopping at several floors and then going up again. The anticipation of the fall is overwhelming! When you reach the top the window opens and you can see the whole of Disney Sea and everyone can hear you scream! The elevator drops (remember it is pitch dark) and then goes up again and then falls and then goes up again! You get the idea! We were both shaking for a little while after we got off from the rush! There was nothing to hold on to except a small handle on the chair next to your legs!

In Arabian Coast we saw Mickey and Minnie wandering around in costume. They were surrounded by many, many children trying to have a photo with them calling "Mickey, Mickey". It was getting rather aggressive in the mob there so I managed to just take a picture of them rather than with them.

We also caught a stage show which was called "Dream Cruise" which involved some Disney dancers and all of the well known Disney characters. I really felt sorry for them because as we found out later that night, the temperature had been the highest in 75 years! No wonder we were a bit warm! Luckily we had our portable shade (umbrella) and were lining up for rides in the shade (and sometimes air conditioning). The dancing was quite entertaining.

We ate dinner back in the Arabian Coast section and had a yummy curry and naan bread. We sat in a food court which was beautifully decorated with tables and chairs that had tiles on them, the floors were also patterned with tiles and there were little eatery counters cut into the walls. Very thematic. There were also street vendors outside, alley games and gift shops in the same theme. It was just so much fun to feel like you were in the cartoon!

Last of all was a night performance (pictured). A Japanese host introduced the stars Mickey and Minnie who were dressed up in kimonos and then out came their special guests...Aladdin and Jasmine. There were many other dancers who danced on the two storey circular stage. At the end of the performance they taught the audience a dance and as they repeated it, the music got faster and faster and in between each repeat the crowd moved around the outside of the circular stage. It was so much fun to watch! We had a great 2 days living in the world of Walt Disney!
