Good morning everyone we’re up super early this morning to head to Disneysea it’s the Saturday before Christmas...so we’re expecting it to be crowded I really want to see the new Fantasy Springs area which is why we’re here this early this is the crowd for Disneyland I think Disneyland is more popular for Christmas than Disneysea and the line for Disneysea I wonder how early these people came finally made it in the park as soon as you enter the park you can start getting booking standby and priory passes through the app the Standby passes are free and give you an allocated time for the rides and Priority passes have an extra fee but you can skip the line we got the standby pass for the Tangled ride and Priority pass Frozen which was an extra ¥2000 (15USD) you can apply for more passes through out the day our goals today is to check out the new area and rides how did they get so many tulips in winter? we have a bit of time before our first ride, so we’ll go look around the weather is so clear today first we’re in Arabian coast which is mainly based on Aladdin we’re going to grab some breakfast first they’re selling some naan and churros the naan had a mix of curry and pizza flavours and of course you need to get a churros at the park you can only enter the Fantasy spring area if you have a pass you can see all the characters from the new rides maybe there’ll be a Pocahontas ride soon too? and let’s go in! our first ride is the Tangled one the bird is a paid actor once you’re in Fantasy Springs you’re free to look around the whole area this was one of the rides I was most looking forward too since I love the lantern scene the wait was about 20mins with the pass but it went by fast looking at all the details and off we go the ride is super beautiful let’s have a look around the other areas this is the Peter Pan Neverland area you can go on board the pirate ship and of course the highlight of Fantasy Springs, the Frozen Kingdom there is Elsa’s castle and the Arendelle Castle which is actually a restaurant you need a reservation for the restaurant but there is also a snack bar let’s explore more of Arendelle here you can see the village area you can’t go in but you can peak through the windows which see various goods just had to check the design is really well done you can definitely spend a decent amount of time exploring it’s finally time for the Frozen ride with the priority pass it was only 10 minutes to get on the ride the ride follows the movie quite accurately that was so fun, if you have to choose 1 ride I would recommend this one we’re off to grab some lunch my favourite amusement park meal is the smoked turkey leg we got the turkey leg and beer we also managed to book another priority pass for the Peter Pan ride the tip is you got to keep refreshing the app page even if it said the passes are sold out and more passes come out throughout the day the Peter Pan ride isn’t until 5:30 so let’s go check out other parts of the park the little mermaid area is always so pretty the rides are mostly for kids but it was nice to look around we’re back at the main harbour just in time for sunset I’ve been in Disneysea a few time but never saw this ride before you recieve a map and follow hints to explore this fortress the rooms itself were really pretty we had time for one more ride and this had the shortest line but it was sooo windy! and we’re back I’m actually glad we got to come back after sunset the atmosphere is totally different at first I wasn’t too interested in this ride but everyone was saying really good things about it immersive 3D ride so I can’t show you inside also might not be for anyone that gets motion sickness a lot we didn’t see this part in the morning but the new resort area this must be the resort I hear it’s almost impossible to get tickets and there is also the gift shop it had all the merchandise for the Fantasy springs area now let’s explore Arendelle by night it looks so pretty with the lights on and all the shop lights are on too that’s all the rides for today the fireworks were also cancelled due to the wind it often gets cancelled so make sure to check the app but it was quite nice to just stroll around at night and all the Christmas lights were on this was the only place open to eat around 8pm but the food looked pretty good I got the cheese burger set the hot soup was so good after being out in the cold we were pretty tired by this point but glad we got to go on all the rides we wanted too today we’re off to Disneyland it’s the weekend before Christmas again so this is probably as busy as the park gets but I was quite shocked at the line I personally prefer Disneyland over Disneysea especially during Christmas season there are more decorations and special events I also prefer the rides here this is the Christmas special menu they gave me a little card the Mike melon pan is so cute the sandwich was actually really good first ride is Pirates of the Caribbean next ride is the Haunted Mansion which we got standby passes for I was most excited for this ride because I heard the ride changes during Christmas season and becomes a Nightmare before Christmas special ride the hologram special effect were so cool the ride was so cool! I would highly recommend it it’s almost time for the parade the good seats get take up quite fast so w’ll go line up I really wanted these Christmas waffles but the line ended up taking 1 hour at least the waffles are really cute they also cook it on the spot for you so it’s fresh the outside was so crispy and the strawberry cream was really yummy off to the next ride we’re in the Beauty and the Beast area dropping by the gift store first we got the priority pass for the Beauty and beast ride this was my favourite ride the last time I came it’s still relatively new so the line is quite long the ride was just as good the second time and the Christmas parade was just starting we’re back in the main castle area we wanted to take some photos with the sunset it’s time for a snack another must try at Disneyland my friend also got some caramel popcorn but this box was super hard to open these are mochi with ice cream fillings next ride is It’s a small world despite the crowd the normal lines weren’t too bad they recently updated this ride to include more Disney characters we got a standby pass for the Monsters INC ride I feel like there was more standby passes available for Disneyland so we got to go on a lot more rides without waiting this ride is kind of like a video game I got the Baymax burger and churros of all the parades the night one is my favourite and lastly we’re waiting for the fireworks hope you enjoyed this little tour
