Exploring Disney Sea Part 1: Mediterranean Harbor and American Waterfront

The Second Happiest Place on Earth, Disney Sea!

So I've shared all my insider secrets on Tokyo Disneyland, but what about the adjacent park, Disney Sea?

I've been there three times, and every single time it has been CROWDED. I once waited in line 20 minutes just to buy a churro! For this reason, I personally prefer Disneyland because it's definitely less crowded, and there aren't as many fun rides at Sea. However, it's a one-of-a-kind park completely unique to Japan! Thus I definitely recommend going once for the experience. It's the more popular park particularly among adults here – Disneyland is more catered to kids, while Sea has a more adult atmosphere.

Entrance area

The most important thing to remember about visiting Disney Sea is to avoid frustration with crowds by simply prioritizing exploration over rides. Fastpasses will be your best friend here, but nab 'em quick because they sell out fast, especially on weekends or holidays (which you must avoid like the plague! Never ever go on a holiday, because that's exactly when everyone else will be there, too. Tip #1: sometime in the middle of January through February will have less crowds, but college students are out of school by late February, so you'll have them to contend with after that. And please – avoid spring break, late March-early April).

First Novella Available on Amazon

While on my quest to become a published author, I've been having some difficulty getting an agent. I've tried sending in manuscripts and queries to publishing houses that accept without an agent, but I haven't had any luck there. In the meantime, what am I to do with my fourteen novels?!

My first novella available as an e-book!

I thought I'd take a step and try self-publishing on Amazon. It's my first novella which I wrote in about a month a few summers ago, called "Blood Magic" (which also happens to be the title of another book featured on Amazon, don't get them confused, mine is the one whose cover page obviously looks done by an amateur haha). Here's the description of the story:

After the death of their mother, a powerful witch, Pontias is tasked with raising his three daughters, hot-tempered Semper, well-mannered Ambriose, and practical Carnelia. In an effort to ensure their success, he has his wife’s magic bestowed upon his daughters, who grow up to each be powerful and successful: a magician, a love expert, and a knowledge guru. Yet they are unaware of a family tie lurking in the background plotting to take back their rightful claim to the magic. The three sisters suddenly find themselves stuck together on a quest to put back their lives while trying to survive each other. While the enemy waits for the chance to strike they must learn the value of family as they discover a family secret and the bonds that tie them together.

"Blood Magic" is available as an e-book for $0.99. I would be honored if you took the time to read it, and maybe even write a quick review! You can find it here, and check out my author page here.

Thanks for reading!
