Tokyo Disney Sea is the newest Disney theme park, that opened on September 4, 2001. It is part of the Tokyo Disney Resort located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, just outside of Tokyo.
The park's two symbols are the Tokyo DisneySea AquaSphere (a water fountain with a large model of the earth) near the entrance, and the gigantic volcano called the volcano Prometheus located in the center of the park.
The volcano and the Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland Park are just the same height. The name is a play on Tokyo Disneyland, hence the official name of Tokyo Disneysea.
The park consists of seven themed areas:
Some of its most popular attractions that use the fastpass system include "Journey to the Center of the Earth," "Indiana Jones: Temple of the Crystal Skull," "Storm Rider," "Mermaid Lagoon Theatre," and "The Magic Lamp Theatre."
Compared to Tokyo Disneyland theme park, Tokyo DisneySea is targeted to older guests. Many moderate to expensive restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages are within the park.
Hotel MiraCosta, Tokyo Disney Sea's official hotel, is connected to the park.
The idea of Disneysea came from a waterfront theme park to be built in Long Beach in California, but the idea was scrapped and passed on to the Oriental Land Company where it was greatly elaborated.
