Day 12 Disney!!!

In Japan the third Monday of July is celebrated as the Day of the Sea and we didn't have any classes because of this national holiday. So what better way to spend the day at the one and only Tokyo Disney Sea right!?
Group photo in front of the globe at Disney Sea. The globe symbolizes how
Disney brings people together from all over the world.
Just like us!! (Australia, USA, Singapore and Switzerland!)

I don't remember why we took this photo but it was too
funny to leave it out of the blog.

Legend of Mythica: The shows at Disney Sea were great! We ended up
finding seats 30 minutes prior so we were able to watch pretty
close up.

The night view of Disney Sea. 

Waiting for the final show, Fantasmic!

Beautiful water works and lighting as Mickey Mouse soared into air!

Amazing performance and pyrotechnics as Mickey defeated the dragon
and overall the shows at Disney Sea were truly amazing!
Although, Disney wasn't supposed to serve as a learning tool, we surprisingly learned a lot from just one day. While waiting in line for one of the rides, I unfortunately lost my fast-pass ticket and general admission ticket. Although this wasn't detrimental in terms of limiting my admission to any of the rides, it disallowed me from getting more fast-pass tickets which allowed us to virtually have no wait for the rides. Because we planned everything out with the fast-pass, I really felt guilty for having to make everyone wait with me from now on. However, I stilled tried my luck and asked the attendants at the ride if they had found a lost ticket. Although initially chances seemed really grim, after 10 minutes, they found my ticket from who knows where. Then onto the next ride, we went. After explaining to the attendant how I had lost my ticket and all. Again, to my surprise, he didn't care one bit and let me through with my friends without hesitation. The service was phenomenal. 

Then later on in the day, another incident occurred where my friend dropped his bag of popcorn. In a hurry he tried cleaning up after his mess but before we knew it, a janitor came by and cleaned up the mess. But, the service didn't end here. He continued on to ask what flavor popcorn we had. As soon as we answered, he told "Please wait in the shade because it'll be hot waiting in the sun" and went off to get us another bag of popcorn. Then 5 minutes later, he returned with a new bag of popcorn filled to the brim. 

With these two cases, we were truly amused at the services that the Japanese offered. Although I've been to Disneyland in Anaheim multiple times, this kind of treatment would never be provided and the this really showed the essence of Japanese hospitality as we experienced it first hand at the wonderful Disney Sea where dreams do come true.
