Two prominent symbols of DisneySea are the AquaSphere it is a water fountain with a large model of the earth in the entrance plaza and Mount Prometheus, the gigantic volcano located in the center of the park.
Feb. 17, 2009 our third day in Tokyo- we went to DisneySea. It is located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan which is just right outside the city of Tokyo.
According to wikipedia, Tokyo DisneySea 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. Tokyo DisneySea is also the most expensive theme park ever built, estimated to have cost over U.S. $4 billion. This was opened Sept. 4, 2001.
Tokyo Disney Resort is celebrating its 25th anniversary for an entire year.
From New Sanno Hotel where we stayed, we took the subway train going to Disney Sea.
Directions from New Sanno Hotel:
1. Take Hibiya Line from Hiro-o (H-03) station, track #2 to Hatchobori (H-11), 8 stops. Fare:
-->¥190
2. Transfer to JR Keiyo Line (track#1) to Maihama Station (5 stops). Fare:
-->¥210
Approximately 1 hour
Disney Train Fare:
I thought after getting off from the JR line we are ready to pay for the tickets, but nope we have to take the Disney train to Disney Sea so it's another fare,
-->¥250 one way only. The fare here is expensive than Hibiya Line and JR Line whoaaa!!!!
From Disney Resort Station to DisneySea is 3 stops but going back is only 1 stop.
I will be posting more pictures of DisneySea on my next blog.
