From the bus stop you need to walk a few steps to reach the ticket booth and the entrance gate. Ticket prices in Tokyo DisneySea are the same as that of Tokyo Disneyland. Adult is 5,500 yen, 4,700 for juniors (12-17 years old) and 4,300 for children (3-11 years old) payable in cash or card.
Visitors are greeted by Goofy, Donald Duck, Minnie and other Disney characters at the Aqua Sphere. Aqua Sphere is very big globe which represents the earth. We rented a stroller for 1,000 yen (with 300 yen refundable deposit) near the DisneySea Plaza.
DisneySea is divided into seven Ports of Call, each port having a distinct attraction of its own. If Disneyland is a land of dreams and magic, DisneySea is a world of romance, adventure and mystery.
Near the entrance gate is the Mediterranean Harbor. It is a European port town bubbling with charming streets and village. This is also the place where Port Paradiso Water Carnival and DisneySea Symphony are presented. We explored the Renaissance era fortress while moving to Mysterious Island to get to the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a fantastic underwater journey aboard a research submarine. The submarine has three seats, each having its own window to explore shipwrecks and mysterious creatures while you plunge to the bottom on the sea
After here, we went to the Mermaid Lagoon which is a perfect place for children. This is a playground that features the world of Ariel. They can play and crawl at Ariel’s Playground.
Here they can go for a wild ride in the Flounder’s Flying Fish Coaster or have fun aboard a comical sand crab in the Scuttle’s Scooter. Honey enjoyed riding the fish coaster that we had it four times. 
We also enjoyed the Jumpin’ Jellyfish, a giant seashell suspended beneath a jellyfish, Blowfish Balloon Race and the swirling kelp cup of The Whirlpool. You should not miss the lively musical presentation “Under the Sea” featuring the singing Ariel and a lot of casts in colorful costumes. We really liked it. It was a splendid performance.
We experienced the beauty of the Arabian Coast and sail with Sinbad’s Seven Voyages. It’s DisneySea’s boat ride version of Disneyland’s Small World depicting the story of Sinbad. My kids loved this ride, especially the dancing of the puppets. We couldn’t understand the dialogue; the ride is in Japanese of course. We did not visit The Magic Lamp Theater because it might be scary for the children. I remember when we were at the Disneyland, Honey was scared in the Mystery Castle. Instead we took the double-decker Caravan Carousel. We took the second level with the two children riding the camel and griffin.
One of the rides that Honey enjoyed most was the Aquatopia located in Port Discovery, a twirling and spinning ride through fountains and whirlpools aboard a watercraft. We had it three times. Port Discovery offers modern transportation and the marina of the future. I got a fast pass ticket for the Storm Rider before we took DisneySea Electric Railway to the American Waterfront. This ride was a little boring but we enjoyed the scenery along. American Waterfront is divided into two sections, the bustling 
New York streets and the east cost port.
It was about 3:00pm when we took a break at the New York Deli. The hot macaroni soup, pretzels and turkey sandwiches were superb. We had a little walk around New York street, rode the classic cars and hopped between shops. We boarded the DisneySea Transit Steamer Line back to the Lost River Delta to watch the Mystic Rhythms but it was closed. I left the three outside when I rode the Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull. It was not quite thrilling for an action adventure ride but there are a lot of beautiful scenes along the journey. I was not able to take a video because the vehicle was shaking all the time.
It was time for my fastpass ticket for the Storm Rider so we went back to the Port Discovery. You’ll be quite amazed in this weather laboratory that goes into the eye of a storm with its wild turbulence of powerful winds. You’ll enjoy it too although the story line is weak.
Most of the rides are for big kids and adults. I missed riding the Journey to the Center of the Earth because it was closed. They say that this is the best ride in the resort.
Two best things that we missed in the park were the Port Paradiso Water Carnival because the weather was not quite okay. It did not rain but the wind blew swiftly. The night was getting so cold that we decided to leave earlier thinking that the Disney Symphony will be not perform because of the weather.
We road the Limousine service back to the airport then back to the hotel at 6:30pm. This is the last bus service out of the park. If you prefer to stay late, you need to catch the last train service out of the resort. JR Musashino-sen train leaves Maihama at 9:22pm; you get off at Nishi-Funabashi station then take JR Sobu-sen service at 9:47pm going to Funabashi. Walk five minutes to Keisei-Funabashi. From there you take Kesei Hon-sen to Narita at 9:58pm. You are expected to arrive Narita at 10:56pm.
Day 2
The next day we went back to the airport to take the train to downtown. We met a Filipina who volunteered to take us to the Aeon shopping center in Narita City. The store is about fifteen minutes from the airport by car but you can also take the train to Narita Station; it’s a few minutes walk from there. Aside from the train, most of the hotels offers free shuttle bus to this place. There is also a 160 bus that ply between hotels, AEON and around town for 300 yen. 
Aeon is a huge shopping center; you can see it from the train. The shopping center has a lot of small shops and more.
Japan is an expensive city. We had our lunch at KFC. We tried some grocery stuffs and they cost much more than what we have here in Manila. A bottle of coke for example is about 300 yen, banana is 60 yen each. If you look at the prices of shirts, shoes and bags, they are very expensive. Toilets are very clean with excellent facilities for those who have disability. Everything inside are operated mechanically/electronically including the door.
The 160 bus goes both direction so you need to check which way are you heeding because the signboard is misleading. It shows a loop and you thought the bus will pass there but the driver would point you to the other way. Interval between buses is about 60 to 80 minutes.
Because of this, we had to return to the mall and wait for the next bus schedule. Your kids can have some fun while you wait at the small playground located at the second level.
Departure
If you missed buying some goodies at downtown, there is a convenient store located at the basement of the airport (same level that of the train station). You can buy bottled drinks, chocolates, Japanese meals, sandwiches, souvenir items and more. There are assorted candies and Japanese cookies for only 100 yen.

The interviewer however, pointed out that it was a 'family trip' and we need to establish our relationship by providing all the original copies of our birth and marriage certificates. We came back after few days with all the necessary documents. It takes only a week to get a Japan visa. The visa is free and is valid for single entry within 90 days from issue date.
The immigration now puts a computerized sticker indicating your arrival information and permitted stay. It was just an ordinary stamp before.
The Rapid Train service though is much cheaper, almost half the price of taking the bus. Taking the bus is another exciting experience travelling to Tokyo; it would let you see some of the city's breathtaking scenes. We really planned taking the bus because it takes three train transfers to get to final station (Maihama). It would be very inconvenient having to transfer between trains with the two little kids with us.
