Japan trip part seven

April 8, 2025

Our last full day in Japan was spent at DisneySea again, and this time we had time to look around at all the different parts of the park.

This day we went on my second most anticipated ride, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, and it was amazing.

I was really excited to see Mermaid Lagoon since The Little Mermaid is my absolute favourite Disney Movie. It was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. look at King Triton’s castle!

I love the way they made the ceiling look like the surface of the water, it’s so clever.

I was most looking forward to seeing the inside of Ariel’s grotto and it did not disappoint!

I have the worst hat hair ever in these photos and the lighting was severely unflattering, but I’m sharing them anyway because I was so excited to be there.

Probably the coolest thing in Mermaid Lagoon though was this shop inside a giant whale.

The eye opened and closed.

Very cool alchemist room inside Fortess Explorations. I love the classic apothecary crocodile (or alligator?).

Windswept Henrik.

We had a look inside the new Fantasy Springs land. I’m not a fan of the movie Frozen, but this area was pretty amazing. The forced perspective of the mountains in the background was really impressive.

Of course I loved seeing the pirate ship and scull cave, but I think their counterparts at Disneyland Paris (which we visited a few days earlier) may be even cooler-looking!

We had dinner at Vulcania, a Chinese restaurant inside the big volcano which is the centrepiece of DisneySea. I loved this place, it looked amazing and my fried rice was so good that I still think about it.

A better look at the wonderful fountain and the most impressive toilet building I’ve ever seen.

As we headed back towards the entrance for the night we got a beautiful surprise sunset view of Mount Fuji. I don’t remember if I wrote this in a previous post but we could actually see Mount Fuji from our hotel window when the weather was clear.
