Last Friday was not a typical school day, as our school had an event scheduled for that day. The trimester agenda said we were to have an 'undokai', or sports event, with our classes. It turned out to be a whole other kind of event though....
Instead of sweating on some sports field, we went on a trip to Tokyo Disney Sea! Disney Sea is a one-of-a-kind Disney theme park focussing on a more mature audience. Inspired by the
myths and legends of the sea, Tokyo Disney Sea is made up of seven themed areas: Mediterranean Harbor, Mystery Island, Mermaid Lagoon,
Arabian Coast, Lost River Delta, Port Discovery and American Waterfront.

Our day started with each individual class exploring the park together. After three o'clock the trip was officially over but we were encouraged to stay as long as we wanted. So, back we went through the gates to start part II of the school trip.
One of the main attractions was the Tower of Terror in the American Waterfront area. A free-fall type attraction that is located inside a haunted elevator. The elevator brings you to the top of the tower where suddenly the windows open so you can get a brief view of the scenery before you crash down to earth. Scary!
Another popular attraction was the Indiana Jones Adventure, where you get a wild jeep drive through the Temple of the Chrystal Skull. Actually it reminded us a lot of sitting in a car with a certain former roommate of ours behind the wheel...
Mysterious Island features a submarine simulation ride which takes you to the depths of the dark ocean where the merfolk live. In Port Discovery there was a storm simulator that puts you in a helicopter designed to control the weather. Of course everything goes wrong and you escape death just by a few inches...
The park also had some spectacular parades and shows. Since the park was sea-themed all parades and shows were held in boats. In the afternoon we enjoyed a great show, and in the evening we could enjoy another show full of wonderful light-effects. The whole park was by then beautifully decorated in lights. The evening ended with fireworks above the Tokyo Disney Sea park, after which we went (very tired) back home after a great day.

Haha..spannende attracties hoor. Werd wel een beetje misselijk van de rondjes die je draait op het magische tapijt. Hihi. Heej, zet de volgende keer jullie zelf eens op de film. Lijkt me leuk jullie weer eens te zien en horen. (En misschien kunnen jullie wat in het Japans zeggen? Dat zou echt kick zijn! :D)
