Disney Sea Experience

Wow, what an experience, we arrived at the park, I am not prepared for this as far as what to expect. The park is completely decorated for Christmas, it is funny that this is the only time of year that I have been to Disney. As in the United States, everylittle detail is thought out, I forgot how much this amazes me. The first ride that we go to is the Tower of Terror, I have ridden this ride once before with some of the 'stutz crew when I went before in the US. I have to admit that the first time I rode the ride was scarier than this time, but I think that it was the fear that my grandfather, who was sitting next to me, was going to have a heart attack when the elevator dropped rather than the ride itself. For those that have been to Disney and ridden the ride before, you will remember how they prepare you for the ride, they tell you how the story came about. I was caught off guard when I realized it was in Japanese and I didn't understand anything. I have no idea why I didn't anticipate this.





The workers are just as friendly as ever. Characters are weird to see, Cinderella is Japanese, but with Blonde hair, and Little Mermaid is Japanese, but with red hair. The shows are in Japanese, so Mickey, Minnie, Donald all speak Japanese. Now, Mickey has never been a manly mouse to me, nor has his munchkin voice, but imagine that voice in japanese, it doesn't flow so well.





As I mentioned the park was decorated with Christmas decorations, I was actually suprised that they were playing Christian Christmas songs through out the park. I was suprised because only a VERY small percentage in Japan practice Christianity so I would have figured that this would be banned. I enjoyed it and happily hummed the songs as we walked through the park wondering if the people knew the words to these songs. Anything familiar I relish.





I love how Disney is able to market their products so that they are so cool while you are visiting, but I find that a lot of products you won't use after you leave. For example, they are selling character ears as barrets. and furry character hats, I could not believe the number of people that had these hats or ears on. Even Men wore Mickey ears?!

Another difference in Japan and in the US. In Japan the girls wore skirts, dresses, heel, boots with heels. Who does this? SERIOUSLY? I wore tennis shoes and my feet ached, I can only imagine pain they were in, Emily wore tennis shoes but she did wear a skirt.
