I found this on YouTube! It's a nice look at some of the attractions. What I found most interesting is how guests can meet Ariel in Mermaid Lagoon!

It would be super cool if that was how you could meet Ariel, but I'm pretty sure that it's just the "magic of television". In pictures I've seen, you just meet her sitting in a clamshell. But that's better, because then you can get a good picture with her and...well come on, you get to sit on Ariel's lap! Well...maybe only if you're a kid. I think adults have to just stand next to her. Check out these pictures.

That tune is catchy though...

I especially like this picture:



I don't know if it's just because it's so late, but it had me laughing quite hard for a bit.

That is more of how you would see her in the show that takes place in The Little Mermaid Theatre at Mermaid Lagoon. It's a beautiful show.

That's what I thought. I just wasn't sure if you watch the show from the sea floor and look up or something. If so, that'd be awesome!!!

It's kind of like that. They have ariel on wires and make her "swim" throughout the whole show.

There seems to be a carousel in Tokyo DisneySea where you can ride the Genie. Interesting.

Yes, there is. It's the Caravan Carousel in the Arabian Coast section of the park. It is very beautiful, sadly I never rode it when I was there. Next time!

DisneySea is actually the park I wanna visit most since I've already been to World and I love Tokyo with a passion.

If you have a region free dvd player you can order a Tokyo Disneyland/ Tokyo Disney Sea dvd 2-pack here:

I ordered it & it's pretty fun. It's in Japanese, but it's still fun to watch a tour of the parks that hopefully I'll get to go to someday!

Oh, I loved this! LOL! Not only because of Ariel saying "konnichi wa" and it being Disney, but that Japanese girl with the yellow jacket is Sailormoon from the live-action Sailormoon show!!! WOW!

I have a hard time believeing that's how everybody gets to meet Ariel. Even though it would be awesome, I'm supporting ther theory of it just being a trick.

Still, it looks really cool over there.

Well, techincally it is a trick in the video, but you actually do get to see Ariel "swimming" above you, so close some overzealous boys might be able to jump up and touch her shell top. In a show called, "Under the Sea" at Tokyo DisneySea's Mermaid Lagoon Theater, Ariel and other characters fly above the audience as they tell about half the story of The Little Mermaid, not unlike Disney MGM Studios' The Voyage of The Little Mermaid, but Ariel stays a mermaid all the way through. There's even a giant Ursula head! If you want to know how you really meet Ariel, take a look at the pic among the posts above.

Why, I can't see why anybody would want to do that

Anyway, thanks for clearing it up. Sounds like it must be quite the experience for the audience. And hell, as long as there's Ursula, I'm all for it.

I didnt notice that it was Sawai Miyuu at first...pretty cool!!
I so want to go to Tokyo Disney one day...

Glad to see another Sailor Moon fan (it seems so few have seen the live action)
