[JAPAN] HONSHU: DISNEYSEA ULTIMATE GUIDE


WHO DOESN'T LOVE DISNEYLAND?

here in Japan as many people knows, they have the only Disney that own and manage not only by Disney corp. But by local, DISNEYSEA. with more adventurous rides and hugeee varieties of land. 

TICKET PRICE
¥7400 yen /adult or IDR 900.000

HOW TO GO FROM CITY
Take any train to Maitama St., transit and buy other special disney railroad around ¥250/ way or ¥500/ onedaypass.

1DAY IS MORE THAN ENOUGH
If you can manage your time well, so i suggest you to start from west area to east. For some best rides, they provide Fast pass. Just scan your ticket at fastpass machine around the ride and fast pass ticket will come out with exact schedule when you can use it. P.S Fast pass only can use after you've done using the one ( so you can't take multiple fast passes in the sametime)


MUST RIDE!
( west area to east)

#1 TOWER OF TERROR (*FP)
American waterfront
*fasspass available
Can be said as the most famous ride in Tokyo Disneysea. You are inside an old hotel that destroyed by a black magic, and when you are taking the elevator up, it suddenly slam down! Super fun adn thrilling rode

#2 DISNEY ELECTRIC SKYWAY
American waterfront
Lazy of walking? Take skyway to cross the way from American waterfront area to Port discovery area and enjoy the view around from up.
