Disney Sea | Before Lockdown

March 28, 2020 0
Disney Sea | Before Lockdown
So...as you know, when I go to trips, I can’t not visit Theme Parks! This should have been my full time job! PS: Not even my part time job but maybe someday!

iPhone X

When we bought ticket, we were already discouraged by the lady at the counter because she said that the park was crowded. Oh well. My mom said we should have left the house at like 5am or something. We left around 7 I guess? And arrived around 10.  We were only able to avail 3 fast pass attractions I guess and we weren't able to use 1 because we were 5 minutes late for it. I love Japan. 
Me and my girl Shella

Can we just take a moment and appreciate mom's red outfit? Just sayin'

Tower of Terror

My sister Shella went with us because my mom can’t really ride rides so she was a little bit worried I won’t enjoy as much. But! I’m so glad my mom came because it’s her first time, right? My philosophy in life is you have to do everything at least once. Obviously not everything but you know what I mean. 


I think this is just the second time Shella and mama met and it's an easy day to be honest. No awkward moments, no bad vibes whatever so it was awesome. I mean, it's not like we're at the same age, I know. But still! If you don't click, you don't. You just don't. AND WE CLICK! 


I'm no way a photographer, right? But with a DSLR camera, photos turn out to be a lot nicer, don't you agree? 

DISNEY SEA is just nice
WHERE DREAMS DO COME TRUE INDEED

My mom ate turkey. She didn't eat last time because she said she didn't like it or something but when she ate this, she finished eating in like less than 5 minutes. Amazing. It was a lovely experience hanging out with my mother and also to have spent my day with my long time sis. 


We were able to ride quite a lot in my opinion. Indiana Jones, Railways, 20,000 Leagues, Ship thing, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Tower of Terror. We were also able to watch the show. Nice! Also watched the night parade. That’s like ticking three things we missed last time. 


My mom didn't ride as much and she didn't really enjoy the night parade as much too lol but yeah I think she was able to have a full grasp of the park and yeah that's the purpose of the trip for her I guess. I had fun though! I mean, I can't wait to be back here with the OG DISNEY babies and just have a different perspective than the last few times. No regrets! I would have loved for mom to ride the Venetian Gondola though and for Shella to ride the Toy Story ride but maybe that's for next time! Yay! Or you know, Fuji Q is always nice. WHO knows maybe there will be 4 of us there next time! Or 5. Hi mom! 


Okay so Japan didn’t undergo lockdown of some sort but these mindful companies did close for the sake of many. Hello, Philippines. Anyaresayo? Anyways. That’s what happened. I’m sooo sooo glad I was able to go to DisneySea again! It’s been a wild while! Hope you enjoyed!

Corona Virus and China Town

Corona Virus and China Town
Diamond Princess

Minato Mirai

This day we spent with dad’s friends and they took us to China Town. But before that, they showed us the Diamond Princess. The cruise ship that carried a lot of COVID-19 positive individuals. It’s quite a sight. Also very irresponsible of us but yeah we were nowhere near of course but I can’t say the same for the people around us. 


We also took some pictures along the way. It was awesome. Can I just say that I took some photos from my dad’s CASIO EX-ZR70WE.


It was okay so maybe I should get something small of a camera to carry everywhere and just leave my DSLR for like huge photoshoot or whatever which I rarely do TBH. But yeah still nice to have them both too so maybe I’d get something small. 



So I didn't know how to properly eat this yeah? I ate 1 of the wrapper on its own because I didn't know that it's for that 2 peking duck skin so no wonder it doesn't taste like anything lol. 


After the long walk, we went to Chinatown to chow at this All you can eat Chinese Restaurant. It was lovely. Although they really take a while to deliver orders. I remember an article that says the longer you chew your food, the better because our brain recognizes we're full at a certain amount of time so yeah or something like that. Maybe that's a technique they use. 

Mamita and I

Is this a rat? I'm not even sure. Not treating us very well though, yeah? With all of what's going on right now. 


It was a lovely day though! Took a couple more photos before heading home and voila! That’s all!

Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Cherry Blossoms in Japan
This is nothing like Nakameguro and Ueno Sakura display but it’s the best we can do and yeah not really complaining. This place is very near our house so we don’t really have a problem coming here anytime and I think mom and I did a photoshoot three different times which is great because you know, three different blooming time or whatever. I’m gonna post photos in order for better visualization. Or not. LOL. 

Sakura 
Staged Candid
Not really at its prime yet. 

I actually think that this is UME but my mom was very sure that this is Sakura and there was a point where we were arguing and she literally asked the passerby and the guy was like, SAKURA. Damn it. I know this is not the real Sakura though. Maybe some kind of Sakura but not the Hanami kind of Sakura. Well it might be that too.


What do you think of my mermaid dress, guys? My mom was like, you should wear something else every time I try to put it on. I like it. I mean, it’s kinda heavy and wrinkly but I like it. 


It rained when we went this time. I was kinda worried that it will ruin the bloom and stuff but also thankful that I already took loads of pictures the last time. Some of the photos I kinda edited some I can’t really be bothered editing so I leave it all to you guys. 


How awesome is this portrait I took of my mom? My mom took a photo of me in portrait setting and it was a massive fail it’s hilarious. I won’t show you because it will ruin my non existent reputation. My skill though is okay, yeah? Yeah. 


I can’t really tell what point was the flowers are at its best but they were pretty at any point so really thankful and blessed that I get to see them many many times. 


That is all guys! Thank you so much!
