Japan Day5

That day was cold. Cold. Cold. It rained! Made it worse!
Rather, it should be because of the rain that it was so cold!

It's the adventure day! Either Tokyo DisneyLand or DisneySea. Yes. We were heading back to Tokyo.

8 of the tour group chose DisneySea. Two of us, a family of 5, plus a lady whom went with the grandma in this tour. We chose DisneySea, as we went DisneyLand somewhere else before, so we thought might be better to go DisneySea in Tokyo. It is the only DisneySea in the world too.

It was still raining when we reached DisneySea. First we took the Gondola ride. I think it was a mistake. Although the rain was not heavy, it definitely made your jeans wet. :(Too bad, too late to regret.

Right after that, we made our way towards its "Lost River Delta" area for the Indiana Jones & Raging Spirits rides.I was feeling too cold, so I hid myself in a cafe nearby, while Karinna and Rachel (the grandma-girl) went to take FastPass for Indiana Jones, and queued for the Raging Spirits. They managed to find me after their Raging Spirits ride. Karinna grumbled it's a little cold (as it has some outdoors feature) and too short is the general statement.
Next, we went back to use the FastPass for the Indiana Jones ride. Short but ok.

We decided to skip some of the attraction area. We moved towards to "Mermaid Lagoon" to watch the theater show. Was pretty good, although the conversation was all in Japanese. Can't understand at all. But the feel of it is pretty good.

To save time, we took a quick bite, and got another FastPass for Journey to the Center of the Earth ride, and went over to queue for 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. The queue itself is also an hour or so. The ride was ok, nothing very thrilling though. Then it's time to use the FastPass for the Earthly ride. That was fun. A little thrilling. Again, short.

By the time we finished these, it was already 4:35pm or so.

We quickly made our way to its "American Waterfront" area to try its Tower of Terror. However, when we reached there, the ride seems to be available only 70 minutes later. We can't do that ride anymore, as it would pass the time of 5:45pm for us to be back on the coach. So we just loitered around the area, saw Donald Duck being chased by the crowds for photographing sessions, saw more of the Volcano eruptions, and finally out of the theme park to meet the rest of the tour group who went for the DisneyLand package.

After dinner, we were brought to Shibuya/Harajuka area for shopping, which the tour guide didn't bring us to on the first day of tour due to traffic conditions. We reached there almost 8pm, and most of the shops were closing around 2030 or 2100, so we just took some short walks along the streets, and then back to the coach and to the hotel.

This is the last night for the tour package. Holidays really flew by very fast.
