Tokyo DisneySea is an amazing park - it's hard to describe how immaculate it is! The various lands of the park are incredible and the rides are great. It's also cool how the park's pretend ocean fades into the real Pacific Ocean! We have a sausage gyoza bun for quick breakfast/lunch, and when we're finished I try to say "Let's go!" in Japanese, but I get one of my vowels mixed up and end up saying "Squid!", which gets lots of laughs. We also laugh at the Aquatopia ride, which Yuu tells us is romantic - it turns out to be a really pointless ride, but a great experience to joke about!
We watch three different water-parade events on the harbor, ride Indiana Jones twice and Journey to the Center of the Earth (the best ride) three times, and eat dinner on the Columbia, a huge make-believe cruise ship. The big laugh of the evening is the 600 yen pickles, which Matt orders just to see what they could be - it turns out to be about a third of a single pickle for roughly $5.00!
It's tough to leave the park at closing time, but somehow we manage and head back to our rooms. Kumiko and Yuu have booked the room next to ours in the hotel, and after a quick oyasumi, everyone is asleep.
