What to Eat in Disneysea (or What WE Eat in Disneysea)

Just so you know that last month I have this amazing chance to go to Disneysea again!! It’s not a big surprise really, as maybe this was already my 5^th or 6^th trip there however this is kinda more special as it was the first time I went there with my brother! It was quite an achievement at least for me, as this year, I managed to bring one family member to my most favorite place on earth (currently) and hopefully I can bring my mom and dad too. Hopefully next year?

However! This time I would like to focus on what kind of stuffs we ate there. Disneysea is quite famous for their food, either heavy foods or finger foods, and bringing my brother definitely gave me chances to try them all especially some of the famous one, as we can share some of the foods together (and a growing lil boy’s stomach is bigger means more variety of food that we can try).

So here we go!

The 1^st food that we tried is this 3 Little Green Men Mochi from Toy Story.

Price: 380 yen
Location: not fixed, around Toy Story area until Barnacle Bill’s (still inside American Waterfront Area)

*At the same time, introducing my lil bro, which will be the model for some of the photos.

You know that usually cute stuff didn’t follow with good taste; however this is the best dessert mocha that I have ever had in Japan! 3 pieces of soft and cute green mochi with generous vanilla, strawberry and chocolate filling. The trickiest part of this cute mocha is that the wagon location is somewhat keep changing. I usually found it in front of Toy Story area (around  2 times), and most of the times I didn’t find it at all (maybe sold out), but this time we found it in the front of Barnacle Bill’s wagon, it was right before the big bridge to Port Discovery area. We were lucky enough to notice a long queue in front of a wagon and bam! We saw that the green men was being sold was and directly queuing for it. Yumyum.

Finished with The Green Man, we went for a wagon called Seaside Snack to hunt for our 2^nd food called Ukiwah Bun.

Price: 500 yen

Location: Seaside Snack Wagon in Port Discovery

This is a swim-ring shaped shrimp filling bun that wrapped in a cute swimming Donald wrapper. The filling is quite a lot, and the bun is very soft. I read good reviews about this, and we can't deny it. It was pleasant and fulfilling. However me and my bro agreed that this was not the best food that we had here. There are some seats available around the wagon, allowing you to enjoy the bun and the pleasant view from this area.

After this, we didn’t find so much good stuffs around Lost River Delta, so we just continued our way for lunch in Arabian Coast, as we were quite starving at that time.

Our 3^rd food is our lunch, which is Curry Sets. If I remember correctly, it was available in Chicken, Fish, Beef and Combination of those 3.

Price: varies from 600-800 yen.

Location: Casbah Food Court in Arabian Coast

We ordered 2 Chicken Curry Sets (780 yen each), Salad (350 yen) and Original Lassi (350 yen), totaling 2,260 yen. We notice that the chicken cut was quite big, and the curry was delicious. What we curious about is the double carbs in one set as it have both rice and roti prata altogether (What’s wrong with Japanese and double carb, they eat ramen with rice too...).  Apologize for not taking proper photos, as we were both ravenous at that time we just remembered to take photos when our food was already damaged haha.

That lunch last for a good 2 hours more or less, and we continued to our 4^th food, which is Potato Churros, since my bro asked for one.

Price: 380 yen

Location: Churros Wagon in Mysterious Island

The least food that we liked here. As it was potato churros, the taste resembles French fries however this is like the big version of it, and the texture is softer than regular churros. However since it was quite a unique kind of churros, this is worth to try too. Maybe some of you will like it?

Since my and my bro were not satisfied enough with this churros, we went straight for our 5^th food, which is Cotton Candy Churros.

*Last photo so blur, forgive me

Price: 380 yen

Location: Open Sesame Wagon, in front of Sindbad’s Storybook Voyage attraction.

This churros is better than the potato version, and it was saluted with purplish sugar which taste like cotton candy (they said). This version of Churros is limited as it was part of the 35^th year celebration of Disneysea at that time. I assume that the wagon will be selling original churros when there’s no event of it. This was nice and we liked it!

Nearby the wagon is the Sultan Oasis area, which is like a small cafeteria that sells some snack. That’s where we buy our 6^th and 7^th food at the same time:

Easter 2018 version of Chandu’s Tail

Price: 500 yen

Location: Sultan Oasis Cafeteria

Chandu’s tail is one of the infamous foods in Disneysea, and this time they serve it Easter Special with pink ribbons (I can’t figure out what’s the form actually, rabbit?) and curry fillings. The normal version one has chicken cream fillings and orange in color with black stripes, but I liked the curry version as well. Should be considered one of the best food in Disneysea.

Vanilla Smoothie and Coffee Jelly Drink

Price: 500 yen

Location: Sultan Oasis Cafeteria

The vanilla smoothie taste like regular milk shake with coffee jelly toppings and choco powder. What I like is that it was not as sweet as I expected, and it balances well with the Chandu’s Tail. Perfect for hot summer weather. Oh, and this is the specials for 35^th Celebration Food too!

Not stopping there, before we went for our final show in Mediterranian Harbor, we went for snacks that will accompany us to watch the show:

8^th food: Garlic Shrimp Popcorn

Oh helloooo, Nemo!

Price: 350 yen

Location: Mermaid Lagoon

We are tempted to buy this because of the MSG aroma that lingers around Mermaid Lagoon, which area we have to pass in order to go to the Mediterranian Harbor. Couldn’t complain anything about the taste as it was good! Just FYI, the Curry Popcorn in Arabian Coast is much more famous compared to this one, however this time I’d prefer this one to try.

9^th Food: Gyoza Dog

Price: 500 yen

Location: Nautillus Galley

This one, I think, was the best bun that Disneysea’s have. It was a looong bun with lotsa gyoza filling, and most of the people hunted this bun a lot that they decided to move the selling place to a bigger area which is the Nautillus Galley. Since it IS big, I think this should be enough for dinner for most of the people.They have a lot of signage of this Gyoza Dog around Mysterious Island so I think it will be hardly missed. Nautillus Galley itself are quite hidden, as you need to go downstairs to get to the café.

Aaaaand that Gyoza Dog became our closing food that we ate in Disneysea. Since we are NOT like most people, in the end we went to convenience store around our hotel too to grab a very proper late dinner which was around 23.30.

Like I said before, I never had the chance to eat THIS MUCH before as usually I went there with my girl friends, which usually were not a good foodies. However, with my brother and his deep stomach pit, it was glorious! We got the chance to eat most of it and realize we spent 6,130 yen or around IDR 800.000 for all of this. Expensive, indeed, but all in all it was worth the experience! And taste, of course.

I can proudly say that most of the stuff that we ate here are some of the top items that people usually hunting for, so feel free to note them, hunt them on your next trip to Disneysea and share your thoughts!

Tips: don’t forget to take Entertainment & Information called “Today” Brochure when you take the Guide Map in front of the gate, as it has all of the information especially limited edition goods, foods, and special parade according to the event during your visit.

See you on the next post!

Take me there again~~~

Tokyo Disneysea (October 2014)

Finally!!! After 1 year of hard times finding the best time to go to Disneysea, Finally I went there on previous week. I went there with my friend from Singapore and Malaysia, Yuan, Celina and Steph. I’ve met Celina and Steph just that Sunday, however they are such a fun girls I have a great time with them!! Too bad they leave Japan so fast, I will miss them a lot.

From Maihama Station, I took Tokyo Disney Resort Liner to Disneysea. It cost around 240 yen one way I think, If I’m not mistaken. From the station onward, we were welcomed by Disney's majestic orchestra music background which set the mood to the max! 

Mickey train come! 

Steph, Celina, Yuan, Me.

Talking about best times, that day actually it’s not the best-est time that I can get. Heavy rain poured full one day as a beginning of Monday’s typhoon so we kinda cannot take so much great photos. However, the great thing is, less crowds, less queue and we can catch quite a lot of attraction in one day!! And all of them mostly the most recommended of all.

Reached, we quickly amazed by all Halloween festive season's decoration!

And from the entrance, the view of Mountain Prometheus really stand out. Haiyah. I almost believed it's a natural mountain until they told me it was man made. Jesus Christ.

However, sorry again for bad weather, I couldn't take photo's properly at that time so I only can describe a little bit of what I found interesting about the attractions.

We went to these attractions by order: Journey to the Center of the Earth, Indiana Jones Temple of the Crystal Skull, Sindbad Storybook Voyage, The Magic Lamp Theatre, 20.000 Leagues under the Sea, Broadway Music Theatre and Tower of Terror.

From all of them, My 3 most favorite by order is Indiana Jones, Broadway Theatre, and Tower of Terror! All must try!

Indiana Jones gave us a very pleasurable effect and pumping enough adrenaline, everything combined perfectly, not too much, not too less. Broadway Theatre, where Mickey and friends dancing accompanied by great jazz performance (If you like it!), makes me sit in awe of how can a character that can’t speak express a lot using music and gestures. The performance shocked me because It exceeds my expectation. And the last is Tower of Terror, great settings and opening story, not too high above an better be taken on night, so you can be enchanted by the pretty Disneysea’s view from above high (in case you can handle the free fall, of course).

This is one of the photo taken from Indiana Jones. Interesting expressions!!

and tower of terror. I remember this one was taken right before the drop.

And next are the lousy attractions from my pov.

Surprisingly I found the Journey to the Center of the Earth which is the main attraction of Disney Sea, quite unsatisfying. It’s a roller coaster, but the drop is only once, we kinda over expected it to be at least 2 or 3 drops, however one drop and it’s over. Booboo. 20.000 leagues Under the Sea too!! Nothing’s there. Only sit in a capsule, with a little bit shaking and vibration, bubble effect, and it’s over. I read in a blog it’s top recommended, however, thank you for raising my expectation above acceptable level. Lucky we didn’t need to queue for this (we amazingly just went in!!) or else will be heart broken...

Aside from the lousy ones, the other attraction is nice too. Actually we wanted to try Toy Story Mania and Storm Rider however because even until late night they still have quite a long queue (it’s great, I guess?) we decided to back off and shop.

And of course we don’t forget to mention about the food! We ate our lunch on Yucatan Base Camp Grill. They serve Halloween Special Set for 1450yen. Look how cute this is!

2 hours after lunch we have a quite “heavy” snack time on a restaurant near the entrance andddd forget the name of the restaurant but since they serve cute dessert with Mickey plates and stuff, we went in. I forget the price too, cause we share all of it between 4 of us.

During our stroll, we brought Curry Popcorn too!! (OMG). The smell is so obvious we can directly tell it's curry. 

The cute thing is usually every popcorn stall sells popcorn buckets that you can refill popcorn and it comes on so many different characters, but several that I see the most is Mr. Potato Head and the three cute kiddo Alien from Toy Story. However the bucket itself quite pricey (I remember it was around 2000 or 2500 yen included the popcorn, price is different per bucket). I tempted to buy but since I know I will only use it once, I backed up...  And bye-bye Mr. Potato Head.

And here are several additional photos that I managed to take:

We played around with all the cute hats and masks and take photos without even the staff bother to shoo us!! Take all the photossssss!!!!

And here is the photo while we were queueing for Indiana Jones. Raincoat is kinda become our dresscode that day..

Mike eat my head!! But I'm happy!!!

And several souvenirs that I brought for myself.. (yes I'm greedy about Monster Inc.)

I realized now why people said go here for 1 time will be not enough. If you want to explore to the details, I think it needs around 2-3 full day to explore, take proper photos, eat a lot, experience all attractions, since the queue itself can be quite long and take time. Even people queue in front of the restaurants and cafeteria, it’s unbelievable.

What makes me amazed is that how big is this theme park. For whole my life, the most proper theme park that I’ve been visited is Genting Highland, and Universal Studio of Singapore. And I realized that Disney Sea is 3 times bigger than USS. I spent USS, everything, took photos, attractions for half day only, while here on Disneysea, I went 12 hours from 10 to 10 and it’s haven’t finished yet. Craycraycrazy.

And other magic things are they create everything almost outdoors. You can see the full open sky with all these setting of docks, marine yacht, mountain, and all of it combined together you feel like you are out of this real world. They take imagination to another new level. I don’t mind to go there every day If I can, at least I can feel free from all the problem that I have with this lousy world.

After all, it’s where all the dreams come true... It’s true.

Say hello to Disney Sea holiday blues...

Nb: promise myself to go there again if I can. And take proper photos of course!
