How is Tokyo DisneySea a real place?

The second proper day of The Parks for the Thirty-Fourth – Tokyo Drift sees my first ever visit to what is widely considered the best – and certainly the most beautiful – theme park in the world, Tokyo DisneySea! This packed day includes the major attractions of the new Fantasy Springs expansion – Anna & Elsa’s Frozen Journey, Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival and Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure.

And in between all the attractions and shows, I found the time to eat iconic Disney food offerings like Mike’s Melon Pan and the Little Green Dumpling Mochi as well as yet another serving of Japanese curry at the Casbah Food Court (where they pretend it’s Indian Curry)!
