Japan Day 14 P4

Alas it's not till after 9pm before we can go into the Hotel Hightower now known as the "Tower of Terror".

And so we thought we should try out this Venetian gondola ride. However, we were told that the main show of the day, BraviSEAmo will be coming on soon and all the waterways will be closed. We were asked to come back later, and shouldn't be missing this romantic story about a "Spirit of Water" and a "Spirit of Fire" meeting on the waters of Mediterranean Harbor.

Hence we embark on a journey to look for the perfect spot to view this spectacle. Does this spot looks ok?

One bad aspect of going on holiday during the autumn or winter season is that daytime is so short. Before long, night is upon us and the BraviSEAmo starts... ...

The "Spirit of Water"?

I am pretty sure that this was the "Spirit of Fire".

And of cos how can this be a Disney parade without Mickey and friends... ...



The grand finale that lit up the sky!

After BraviSEAmo, we took a quick picture of the Chirstmas tree in the middle of the harbour before the lights went out.

And our next destination, the long awaited Hotel Hightower.

AKA Tower of Terror!!!

A picture of us before we were sent plunging down from about 199 feet! Surprisingly, I think we looked quite cool and collected in the picture while others were raising their arms.

After the free-falling experience, we need something more relaxing... Our last ride of the day, Venetian Gondolas.

By this time, Dent Dent was nearly out of juice, and we still can't figure out how to take better night photos with Dent Dent. Our friendly guide who was very enthusiastically narrating some story, a pity he spoke in Japanese, Blamer and I could only smile and laugh along with the rest of the passengers.

Dinner at our favourite 24hrs beefbowl shop again since it was almost midnight by the time we got back to our apartment.

Japan Day 14 P3

As Blamer and I were walking towards the castle-liked structure on the left of S.S Columbia, we chanced upon a mini parade.

With the main cast all decked out in winter wears. But they were gone in a flash, we didnt even get the chance to take more pics. Looked like it was more of "changing shift" rather than a parade.

Another gigantic Christmas tree,w hich we had to queue up while a Disney staff member took pics for everyone. At first we thought this was one of those designated photo point, where in HongKong, they would station someone there to take photos. Since we were the last in queue, imagine our surprise when after giving our thanks to the staff, he actually went to a corner to pick up his broomstick and dustpan!

More photo points with the Disney characters.

Of course the Iconic Snow-Mice (what I call them, although it's most probably not the official name)

Here, Blamer was trying to take a photo IN the fountain without getting herself wet.

Resting our tired legs, we went for a ride on the electric railway located at the American Waterfront. This nostalgic train functions as a round-trip tour around the resort, bringing the beautiful scenery of Tokyo Disney Sea right before your eyes.

While on the railway. we spotted this interesting bumper-car-like facility, just that it is on water.

To my disappointment, we do not actually have control of the boat. On closer inspection, the boat is moving on designated trails.

Next we went back to the American Waterfront to queue for the tickets for the Big Band Beat. An exciting jazz revue with energetic tap dancing to the sounds of a live big band. There's also a drum solo by Mickey which is not to be missed.

So far, Blamer and I wasn't really thrilled by the rides and Disney Sea, however, as we got closer to this castle-like structure, we heard hoards of screams and shrieks! Is this the ride that we have been waiting for???

Japan Day 14 P2

The ride which Leecher spotted was Raging Spirits, located in Lost River Delta, just beside Indiana Jones. Lost River Delta features the ruins of a mysterious pyramid rise above the Central American jungle on the shores of El Rio Perdido, the "Lost River" during the 1930s.
A new adventure awaits for us as this roller coaster attraction takes everyone on a high-speed ride through the ruins of an ancient ceremonial site.

Look at the "raging" fire behind us!

The spine-tingling 360-degree loop, the key selling point of this ride.

Post-ride feelings: The ride was smooth, nothing scary. I was able open my eyes throughout the ride to take in the scenery without feeling nervous. The 360-degree loop? Small case, you don't even feel anything at all.

We followed the footsteps of Dr Indiana Jones in a harrowing, life-or-death quest for the legendary Fountain of Youth om a high speed adventure aboard modified military transport vehicles.

Another of my "flings" in Disneysea.

As we walked on, we saw hand-painted Disney characters on the floor! Everyone was surprised to see it & were rushing to take pictures before the water dries up.

Mrs Incredible came along & being a huge Pixar fan, I just had to take pictures with her!

"Hey you! *flexing his muscles* Why you never take pictures with me?" yells Mr Incredible.

My hero :)

Hurricane Point Lighthouse, located at American Waterfront, where you will experience both a New York enlivened by new immigrants and the heartwarming New England fishing village of Cape Cod.

S.S Columbia from a distant. S.S Columbia is the newest and finest ocean liner to depart from early 20th century New York.

Another picture point with Mickey the Sailor :)

As it was the Xmas season, you will get to have a meet & greet & picture-taking with Santa and Duffy. Created originally for the Walt Disney Resort as "The Disney Bear", he's now known as Duffy at the Tokyo Resort. Duffy is a bear of magic and great luck, spreading happiness and smiles throughout Tokyo Disneysea. Duffy has evolved into sort of a cultural phenomenon there, almost as famous as Mickey himself!
