On Saturday, April 23rd, we went to Disney Sea. It's next to Tokyo Disneyland, which of course is not in Tokyo at all, but the neighboring prefecture, Chiba. Makes sense, I guess. Would people be as interested in "Chiba Disneyland"? So Disney Sea, which opened just a few years ago, is a little bit more "adult," in the sense that it's built around an Italian theme and doesn't have as many rides or characters wandering the grounds as Disneyland. When you walk in, you face a small harbor, which is watched over by a volcano! The volcano erupts every few hours and you can see it from most places in the park (another advantage, according to Aogu: it's not as big as Disneyland, so you don't have to walk so much). Koji was VERY excited by this volcano! We should take more advantage of this likely short period of his life when he is so easily entertained...he was also delighted to ride in the Italian gondola pictured here, and all the more so when the gondolier sang Happy Birthday to him in Italian! After the song was over, Koji held up one finger and said, "Mo ikkai!! (one more time)". The gondolier looked a little surprised but complied with the request and serenaded Koji again. He then let us know that he had NEVER before done the song twice in a row for the same person!
