Aug 27, 2024 (Sunny) Tokyo Family Trip Day 3
"Most of the games queueing time is less than 45 minutes now. It should be enough for us to buy DPA for one of the most popular games to shorten our waiting time."
Mrs. Mak actually is a fast learner. She is still incoherent when she entered Disney Sea in the morning. However, she already had a clear direction and goal after lunch.
Compared with me, who take a lot of time for preparation but still feel nervous in the morning, she is much wiser. (Appreciate from the bottom of my heart)
The atmosphere in the park in the afternoon is definitely not as intense as in the morning, because it is a foregone conclusion that almost all SP and 40th are distributed, and all the DPA of Fantasy games were sold.
Therefore, I decide to describe the rest of the game experience simply in point form.

Review: A 20-minute all-Japanese 3D Show. You can enjoy watching 3D Effect even though you won't understand the story.
It is time to come back to FANTASY SPRINGS again.

Review: A dynamic ride with 3D effects. It is very interesting and the graphic.
For the reason of comparative less attention in Fantasy Springs, I guess it is just because Peter Pan is not as popular as Elsa and Rapunzel.
No SP, No DPA, we can only pass by FROZEN in the afternoon.
If you have difficulty in ordering via mobile in FROZEN's restaurant, it is recommended to ask the staff at the door for help directly. It’s actually not difficult to find a time slot but you may have to come back 1-2 hours later. However, Fantasy Springs is an area that you cannot come in and out freely. Personally I will not recommend to have meal if the booking time is 1-2 hours later, since it is not worth spending an hour in Fantasy Springs just for walking around and shopping. (except you really love to do so.)
(It’s different at USJ in Osaka. You can first make reservation in the restaurant in Nintendo area. Then you can spend 1hour to play mini games in Nintendo area while you’re waiting for your meal time.)
OAKEN'S OK FOODS is a snack shop, the only one shop does not need SP, DPA or PREORDER in Fantasy Springs. If you come to play and not time for eat, try this! (But you still have to queue.)
Snacks at Disney Sea are much cheaper than those in Hong Kong - 350 YEN for each.
I have to take one even though I am on a diet.
Children like ice bars, but I don’t like the feeling of numbness in my teeth after eating them. TIRAMISU ICE CREAM SANDWICH is very delicious. The bitter texture of TIRAMISU biscuit paired with the vanilla ice-cream - fantastic!!
Leaving FANTASY, let’s move on to the adventure of Indiana Jones!
Indiana Jones Adventures
8. Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull (Mak Rating - in principle the highest mark is 5 stars*)

Review: A car ride with the theme "Indiana Jones". There are some scary mechanisms such as insects and skulls. My daughter was alright and enjoyed, but her elder brother was scared and decide to leave immediately.
After that, we went to Discovery Bay - The area with Nemo
9. Nemo & Friends SeaRider (Mak Rating - in principle the highest mark is 5 stars*)

Review: "A little bit wet," a handsome staff remind us when we come to the queue.
Sitting on a boat that probably has no prescribed waterway. You are faced with a water jet mechanism that may be fired at you from time to time
The final situation of the participants may be "just a little bit Wet", but according to my family's experience, it is more likely to be "Entirely Wet".
However, I cannot find any disposable raincoat vending machine nearby, so I guess it is just "little wet" and didn’t put on the raincoat. Probably the Japanese mentality is to have more enjoyment by playing water game without any raincoat.
The kids were exciting and asked for once more, but due to time constraints we had to continue other itineraries immediately.
(After reviewing my old article, I discovered that I played this crazy water game 14 years ago‥‥‥)
At this time we took the Disney Sea Electric Railway and headed towards the main entrance of the Park.
The waiting time for various games began to decrease during afternoon, but the waiting time for two popular games - Soaring: Fantastic Flight and Toy Story Mania! - remained at one hour or above. We decided to use extraordinary means - DPA on one more game - choose one out of this two.
Based on the information collected in advance, Soaring is a dynamic game. It feels like flying in the sky and seeing wonderful view around the world.
I think it is funny so the waiting time keep long.
However, I personally prefer shooting games with higher participation. Moreover, it will be fun to have Disney Characters in the game, so we go back to American Waterfront Area.
6:15 pm, arrived Waterfront and buy DPA immediately. Spend money to buy time, queueing problem had been solved and suddenly there are 10 extra minutes in our lives to take some pictures.
This DPA is really genuine. Some so-called express passes only reduce part of the queuing time. You still have to wait for about 15 minutes before you can get on the bus. This Toy Story Mania DPA is almost directly accessible.
3D Shooting Game, let's have a competition!!
The three-dimensional shooting game is very interactive, enjoyable, engaging and interesting. Personally, I think this project is the most fun among the games in Disney Sea.
11. Toy Story Mania! (Mak Rating - in principle the highest mark is 5 stars*)

It costs another 8000 yen to play again. No matter how much we want to play again.....just give up.
Then a little incident happened. I originally planned to take the ferry back to the Lost River Delta to try "Raging Spirits".
Then I realized I was in the wrong line and ended up taking a photo with Shellie May.
(I’m very surprised that when queuing up to take the boat, I am wondering why the staff asked "how many people" in our group, and ask us to put down the bags.)
The staff captured an interesting moment, a father was rushing to catch a boat and two children who were falling in love with Shellie May.
"It is really strange if we have not taken any pictures with Character in Disney, so this mistake is good for us," Mrs. Mak said.
Taking a boat back to the Lost River Delta, Indiana at night is... very impressive.
This is an memorable game that I played 14 years ago. It was still a time to get fast pass in hard copy. My evaluation was not very good during that time - Not worth to spend an hour to wait for a short game.
But nowadays, I have a different feeling when I tried again.
Let me review what I have said 14 years ago: (sorry, in Chinese)
The ride lasts for several minutes and includes 360-degree twists and turns. It is actually quite an exciting roller coaster game.
When I was young, I regard "exciting ride" is the coaster game in FujiQ Highland which go straight up and down, However, I have totally different point of view and Raging Spirits is "exciting enough".

The time after we finished riding is 7:50PM, we were rushing back to the central of the park as we didn't want to miss the show at 8:00PM - Believe! Sea of Dreams
A night-light parade on the sea coupled with a grand fireworks show, I personally think it is a show that we must see.
I don't like to use my mobile phone to shoot videos. There are already a lot of videos on YouTube about this show.
Watching it in person with your own eyes, the level of excitement is completely different from that on video.
"Daddy, I cannot see....Can you carry me?"
"Certainly."
I won't miss any chance when I still have the energy to hug my daughter and watch the fireworks,
When they grow up, these memories like fireworks: beautiful but transient.
The fireworks dissipated together with the crowd. Most of the crowd rushed to the shops and exits. At this time I found that all the amusement rides were still open. The waiting time for Soaring is about 50 minutes. I was thinking that if I had queued up for Soaring before fireworks finished, it might be easier to experience this game.
Mr. Qian Zhongshu, the author of "The Besieged City" once said: "We not only imagine the grapes that cannot be picked to be sour, but also probably imagine them to be extra sweet." Soaring and Frozen should also be extra "sweet" in my mind.
The whole day....No....Three consecutive harsh journey days was very difficult for my son to bear. Moreover, my love for Disney products is far less than before after I have visited Hong Kong Disneyland for more than 50 times.
It's unbelievable that two girls in my family still have the ability to browse in a crowded store.
We have experienced in a total 12 games + took a photo with 1 Disney character + watched the luminous fireworks display on the sea, and took a ride on the ocean boat and the train respectively.
Whether you have bought the souvenir or not, it is considered a fruitful day.
The time we left is at 9:30 PM. At this time, I looked back at the door position which was extremely crowd in this early morning, and discovered that we had stayed in this Sea for more than 14 hours.
In these years, Toy Story, Nemo, Frozen, Rapunzel, Peter Pan ‥‥‥Disney Sea, which focus on exciting games many years ago, has introduced many games with Disney and children elements in recent years.
In Chinese there is a phrase - "Change is eternal", and probably these changes will let us come back again soon, or later....probably.
What will happen 14 years later? God knows.
