Tokyo Part 2: Disney Sea

Day 2:

Tiffany and I went shopping for a few hours and met up with Brian and Joseph around 2pm.  We had a great time shopping and spent some of our hard earned money.

Next, Disney Sea!
This park was pretty amazing.  Not as crowded as the Magic Kingdom but just as fun, if not even more so.

We went on a few rides and did some more shopping.  We also saw many characters.

 

 

 

 

Something we noticed a lot of while at Tokyo Disney was the absence of Disney Princesses.  They wern't to be found.  There were many other characters like Scrooge McDuck, Jiminy Cricket, Marie the Cat, and a few others.  We didn't once see Mickey or Minnie Mouse, or any of the princesses. 
Even in the shops there were not any Disney princess merchandise.  Loads of Alice in Wonderland though.  It was pretty neat to see different kinds of merchandise instead of Mickey and the princesses all over the Disney stores.  It was nice to see different kinds of Disney items for purchase.

We went on many rides, but not as many as the day before.  Joseph and Brian went on Indiana Jones Temple of the Crystal Skull (a roller coaster), Raging Spirits, Sinbad's Stoybook Voyage, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.  When we met up with the boys, we all went on the Tower of Terror, Raging Spirits (again), Indian Jones (again), Jumping Jellyfish, Blowfish Balloon race (the best swing ride ever), and Journey To the Center of the Earth which was a really fun, though short, ride.

 

 

To end our night we ate together at the ship restaurant, S.S. Columbia Dining Room.  It was delicious.  While waiting for our table the boys went downstairs to The Teddy Roosevelt Lounge and had a beverage.

 

 

Tiffany and Brian told us about the Duffy Bear that apparently is a huge thing.  Apparently Mickey Mouse gave Duffy to Minnie Mouse as a gift and now it's a thing.  We saw so many people with Duffy bears.  Tiffany and Brian bought their contribution (along with the appropriate accoutrements) while Joseph and I waited for the Indian Jones roller coaster ride. 
After that, Joseph and I went to the MiraCosta Hotel lounge and enjoyed our last night at the parks.

Next up, Tokyo!  :-)

These school girls spotted Joseph and thought he was handsome and cute--and they were right!
Japanese school girls...there was a little bit of an argument to see who would sit next to him.
