Japan the Series: Day 2

      Our second day in Tokyo, we got up bright and early to go to Tokyo Disneyland. It may not have been the most Japanese thing we did on our trip but who doesn’t love a day at Disneyland? Tokyo Disney has two parks, one is the same as the original Disneyland and the other is called DisneySea. DisneySea is more geared towards adults and as we have both been to the original park in California, we chose to go to this park for the day. It is also the most expensive theme park ever built, estimated to have cost over $ 4 billion to construct. Like all the other parks, Disneysea is nothing short of incredible. Each area of the park is based on a different port from all over the world. There is the Mediterranean harbour where you can ride a Venetian gondola and eat Italian food on a piazza. There is the American Waterfront that represents the northern seaboard of the United States in the early 20th century that has a gigantic passenger ship in the harbour called the SS Columbia. In total there are 7 themed 'ports' that were beyond incredible.

What amazes me about every Disney park is the intricacy and scale of all the components that make you feel like you are in a completely different world.  Although I’ve never been, Cam said that their replica of the streets of Venice is absolutely bang-on. All in all, it was a perfect day, despite a pretty big crowd. Sometimes everyone needs to let their inner child run wild and there’s no better place to do that than Disneyland.
