Kawaii Japan - DisneySea!

I believe every adult has a childlike quality hidden in their heart which when triggered, will resurface.

As a child, I was a real romantic at heart and enjoyed watching Disney animation such as "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and The Beast" and "Aladdin" etc.. It always brings me joy to see the male and female protagonists living happily ever after and witnessing the good triumph over evil in these stories. Although my childhood days are long over and I know that what was portrayed in Disney animation will not always be translated in real life, the characters and plots in these cartoons still have an endearing place in my heart. Perhaps this is the "magic" of Disney at work!

DisneySea is one of the places where everyone in my group unanimously agree to visit when we were in Japan. I guess I was not the only one mesmerized by Disney!

DisneySea is already crowded at 8.30am in the morning on a Wednesday!
Impressive volcano!

We had so much fun trying on different hats that we spent more time then we should in the store!

Time for Europe And Mexico!

We are in Venice! Emm... Actually, the part of DisneySea that looks like Venice :)
Looking great, boys!
We had reached Mexico! Pinatas at Donald Duck's abode.
We queued up for about twenty minutes before getting the opportunity to have a photo with Donald!

Wonder whether a real camel is of this size?

 Magic lamp! Grant me my wish please!

Check out the cowboy hats!

Before we knew it, night falls on us...Group picture outside the theater of the spectacular cabaret show, "Big Band Beat"
Time for dinner! We were quite hungry after all the fun we had so we went to the nearest cafe for a bite:

Crispy donut sticks and sandwiches at a deli near the theater where we watched the "Big Band Beat"
And time to say goodbye!

Waving bye to DisneySea with Kitty's paws...Meow!
Last group picture taken near the exit.
The visit to DisneySea really brought back a lot of great childhood memories and I was really happy to be around the company of fantastic people, which really make the whole visit a lot more meaningful! Apart from all the spectacular buildings and structures in DisneySea, we also watched a couple of impressive live theatrical performances including the "Mystic Rhythms", "The Little Mermaid" and "Big Band Beat". All three performances are superb and simply amazing! In particular, "Mystic Rhythms" was so powerful that it almost brought tears to Stanley's eyes! Unfortunately, picture taking is not allow in the theaters so I am not able to post any photos up.

Due to time limitation, we were not able to finish touring DisneySea :( .... If you like taking photos as much as we do and at the same time, hope to watch all the shows and take all the rides, then it may be better to get a 2-day pass. For more information on DisneySea, I would suggest you have a look at their official website - http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/en/tds/entm/index.html

Will be blogging more on my Japan trip later! See you.
