This show will open with an in-park recording of Tokyo's special 25th Anniversary Theme Song. I was captivated by this song during my entire Tokyo Disney experience. They played this song throughout the parks on many occasions especially after parades and shows. Unfortunately, the CD single of this song I purchased in the park came only in Japanese and doesn't sound nearly as enchanting. The clapping you hear is coming from guests as each of the Fab Five passes in front of Lido Isle on floats to conclude DisneySEA's Legend of Mythica. Listen closely to the girl FREAKING OUT when Minnie waved to her. It was an oddly funny moment and insight into how serious the Japanese are over the Disney Characters.

And for the main portion of the show....Join myself, Superdry, and Matt from Dallas for a relaxing morning at Tokyo Disneyland. We first take in, arguably, one of Disney's best attractions with Pooh's Hunny Hunt. Then we head over to the Haunted Mansion which is oddly located in Fantasyland along with Pooh. To finish things off, we take in my favorite version of Splash Mountain in Tokyo's Critter Country. Overall, it's a well-rounded offering of Tokyo e-ticket attractions.

At Toyko DisneySEA, there an attraction that I consider to be one of my favorite attractions across all of the nine Disney parks that I have visited globally.  In the Arabian Coast section of the park is Sindbad's Storybook Voyage.  It's a boat ride like Pirates of the Caribbean or Small World and some people have compared it to Small World.  The comparison ends at it being a boat ride, though.  While it might look like small dolls, they are full animatronic figures with great motion capabilities.  When Jeff and I visited in June 2007, the ride had just come off of rehab.  The imagineers had given the attraction a new storyline.  Alan Menken of "Little Mermaid" along with Glen Slater created the song "Compass of your Heart"  which follows you throughout your voyage with SIndbad and his loyal tiger cub, Chandu.  I was fully captivated by the ride.  Mermaids, genies, thugs, giant birds, dancing monkeys...this attraction has it all!  It is fully original, the song is catchy, the sets are detailed, and the animatronic figures are amazing (just watch for the belly dancers!).  Too bad they didn't sell Chandu plushes.

Before we take the ride, you get to see some of the Oasis area of the Arabian Coast that is next to the Lost River Delta.  This area was seen briefly in MMCTV EP0111, Musica Mexicana.  Playing in the background is the Port Theme Song for the Arabian Coast which is taken from the Tokyo DisneySEA 5th Anniversary Music Album CD.  (http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Disney-Sea-Anniversary-Celebration/dp/B000GPIHQ8).  

Special thanks to Jeff for letting me use some of his pictures of the attraction in the video.

I hope you enjoy this trip into Sindbad's Storybook Voyage.

**HEADPHONES A MUST FOR THIS ONE - TRUST ME - UNCOMPRESSED**

On this show, I start with a simple stream of consciousness taken in the bathroom of a Boeing 777 while crossing the Pacific Ocean heading for Japan. We then journey from Narita airport to Maihama station as we make our way to the most fascinating Disney park on Earth. Tokyo DisneySEA. Meander with me jet lagged and lost in translation as I make my way through my Tokyo arrival day. The show finale presents a pristine live recording of DisneySEA's night time spectacular BraviSEAmo which I've been trying to capture successfully during all my travels to Tokyo...it just never worked out the way I wanted it to until this presentation.

This is your chance to follow me as I cross the globe using planes, trains, and 4 wheeled luggage. It's exciting, it's an adventure, and I'm happy to share it with all of you.

HEADPHONE HEADPHONES HEADPHONES!!!! I haven't compressed a thing on this piece and it won't sound nearly as good without proper imaging.

Have fun on your trip!
