Exploring Disney Sea Part 5: Omiyage (Souvenirs)

Of course no trip to a Disney park, especially an overseas one, would be complete without omiyage, or souvenirs, to remember your special day (or more, since admission to Tokyo Disney parks costs only about 70 US dollars, a third to a fourth of the price of what you'll pay in the states!). Naturally there are plenty of places to get everything from plushes, hats, jewelry, popcorn buckets, stationary, home decor, and more all around Disney Sea.

Exploring Disney Sea Part 4: Food!

Disney Sea offers some amazing food!

One of my absolute favorites of Tokyo Disney, besides the amazing souvenirs, is all the awesome food! I have to admit, after noshing around Tokyo Disneyland and Sea, Anaheim Disneyland fell pretty flat for me. Aside from the Dole Whip, monte cristo, and the most amazing chocolate swirl ice cream cone at the California Adventure pier (whose awesomeness was probably 50% contributed to the heat), there's not a lot of stuff I get excited for here. I'd say some of that has to do with the fact that Tokyo Disney always features changing menu items throughout the year. Case in point, when I discovered a Disney magazine in Japan I always studied it carefully before going to the park so I would know exactly what to eat and what to buy. Let's face it – a day at Disneyland is not a day to be on a diet! There is so much good food at Tokyo Disneyland and Sea I recommend eating light throughout the day so you can try everything!

First off, let's talk about popcorn. Because popcor is a big thing at TDL/S. You'll even see Disney popcorn bracelets attached to young people's bags and wonder what the big deal is. This is not your standard buttered popcorn! TDL/S proudly features a tasty array of popcorn flavors, from savory to sweet: soy sauce and butter, curry, salt, BBQ, caramel, milk chocolate, honey, and even strawberry.

Exploring Disney Sea Part 3: Lost River Delta and Arabian Coast

Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull awaits in Lost River Delta

Our last destinations around Disney Sea include the Lost River Delta and Arabian Coast, where you'll find jungles and temples, and maybe even catch a glimpse of Jasmine and Genie!

Lost River Delta

This area of the park is basically the equivalent of Adventureland. It features jungles, ancient runes, and a small South American style village featuring some of the only Mexican food in Japan. Attractions include Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull, DisneySea Transit Steamer Line, and Raging Spirits. In a way this is my favorite area of the park because it has my favorite ride in all of Disney Sea – Indiana Jones! It's absent from Tokyo Disneyland because they decided to put it here instead.

One of the best lookouts in the Lost River Delta is the river and bridge connecting the park, where you can see the transit steamer line journeying down the river. The red against the green and blue makes for a pretty picture.
