Tokyo Disneysea Theme Park



Tokyo DisneySea (東京ディズニーシー) is a theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, just outside of Tokyo.



It opened on 4th September 2001, first Disney theme park outside the United States not to use the "Magic Kingdom" design.



Tokyo DisneySea has become one of the world's most visited theme park and one of the most popular Disney Parks in the world.



An estimated 12.2 million visitors visited the park in 2004. It was the second theme park to open at the Tokyo Disney Resort, and the ninth park of the eleven worldwide Disney theme parks to open.



You can arrive to Tokyo Disneysea by train where you need to take the JR Keiyo Line or Musashino Line to Maihama Station. If going by car, take the Wangan Expressway to the Urayasu exit.



There are access within the resort which are convenient and fun.There are
Disney Resort Line - Disney Resort Line monorail trains carry Guests to all of the
major Resort destinations.



Disney Resort Cruiser - A convenient means of transportation between the Parks and
hotels within the Resort.






Parade show is a must for those who visit this Disneysea as it is very entertaining and nice.



The parade show can be seen at the Mediterranean Harbor.



There are seven themed areas in Tokyo Disneysea.There are Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, Lost River Delta, Port Discovery, Mermaid Lagoon, Arabian Coast, and Mysterious Island.



Mediterranean Harbor



Mediterranean Harbor is the entrance "port-of-call" and themed as an Italian port city.



The layout greatly differs from the entry "lands" of other Disney parks (such as Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A. or the Disney-MGM Studios' Hollywood Boulevard) as it is a large "V" shape.



If followed to the right, the path leads to Mysterious Island, while if followed to the left, the path leads to the American Waterfront.






American Waterfront



This "port of call" represents the northeastern seaboard of the United States in the early 20th century. It features two themed areas, an "Old Cape Cod" section, and a "New York Harbor" section.

This land is dominated by the large passenger ship, "S.S. Columbia", and the large skyscraper, Hightower Hotel.

Apart from the "Big City Vehicles" which travel around the area and the DisneySea Electric Railway, the land features no attractions.



However, in Autumn 2006, the Tower of Terror will open on the site of the Hotel Hightower.

Lost River Delta

Port Discovery



• StormRider Presented by JCB Co., Ltd,The Center for Weather Control has recently developed a "Storm Diffusion Device," a new invention that is detonated in the center of powerful storms and dissipates their energy.

• Aquatopia,The Center for Weather Control usually uses this facility for testing out new types of navigation systems. However, to commemorate today's festival, the scientists at the CWC have made some special modifications. Guests can board one of the experimental watercraft and embark on a twisting, whirling, wild ride through a labyrinth of fountains, rock formations and whirlpools.

No matter where you sit on the elevated train, you'll be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tokyo DisneySea passing by outside the windows

Mermaid Lagoon



Mermaid Lagoon is home to many of the characters of The Little Mermaid. This "port of call" has two areas, one indoors and the other outdoors, both featuring attractions suited for children.



The area is bright and colorful and features fanciful architecture designed after the undersea palace of King Triton.

Arabian Coast



This "port of call", like Mermaid Lagoon is themed after a popular Disney animated film, this time Aladdin.



It recreates an exotic Arabian harbor combined with an "enchanted world from 1001 Arabian Nights." There are two attractions in the land, Sinbad's Seven Voyages and Caravan Carousel. Sinbad's Seven Voyages, a boat ride much like "it's a small world", is notable for being the only attraction in the land not themed to Aladdin.



Mysterious Island



Mysterious Island is a "port-of-call" within Mount Prometheus, the giant volcano that is the Park's centerpiece and most prominent feature. It relies heavily on the storytelling of Jules Verne.



Although it is the smallest area of the Park, it holds two of the biggest attractions: "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".



While appearing to be a volcano on the water, Mysterious Island is not an island at all. It is instead built into the side of Mount Prometheus, which is part of the showbuilding of the two attractions.
