Snow at Sanrio Puroland

June 05, 2024 0
Snow at Sanrio Puroland

 Don't be fooled by the title folks. Sanrio Puroland in Tama Center is completely indoors. It just so happened that it snowed outside whilst were inside. 

I went with my sister and these are the pictures that we took.


As this is our first time in a long time, we got several official photos like this one that was taken during the My Melody ride. 



My melody chair. 

I don't know if I have a favorite Sanrio character now but back then, I used to like Kitty's sister, Mimmy. JUST BECAUSE. Can I just share that my sister, used to love watching Hello Kitty and we probably have all the Hello Kitty videotapes that there is, right? And when we would go to Sanrio Puroland, you would probably think that it is paradise for her, right? NO! As a child, she would scream her lungs out crying.  



Sanrio Puroland is just as I remember it to be. The thing is, I know we missed a couple shows so there's always something to go back for.



When we went way back, they had a Gudetama section. More like an arcade themed area. It was actually fun.


This is the card that they give you at the entrance. Without this, you couldn't really do anything inside the arcade room. 


The trick art museum is also something I enjoyed doing. 



The boat ride is as magical as ever. I will go to Sanrio just for that ride alone. 


Snowing outside on our way home. All in all it was a magical experience made more magical by the snow on our way home.

Disney Sea | Before Lockdown

Disney Sea | Before Lockdown
So...as you know, when I go to trips, I can’t not visit Theme Parks! This should have been my full time job! PS: Not even my part time job but maybe someday!

iPhone X

When we bought ticket, we were already discouraged by the lady at the counter because she said that the park was crowded. Oh well. My mom said we should have left the house at like 5am or something. We left around 7 I guess? And arrived around 10.  We were only able to avail 3 fast pass attractions I guess and we weren't able to use 1 because we were 5 minutes late for it. I love Japan. 


Me and my girl Shella


Can we just take a moment and appreciate mom's red outfit? Just sayin'

Tower of Terror


My sister Shella went with us because my mom can’t really ride rides so she was a little bit worried I won’t enjoy as much. But! I’m so glad my mom came because it’s her first time, right? My philosophy in life is you have to do everything at least once. Obviously not everything but you know what I mean. 




I think this is just the second time Shella and mama met and it's an easy day to be honest. No awkward moments, no bad vibes whatever so it was awesome. I mean, it's not like we're at the same age, I know. But still! If you don't click, you don't. You just don't. AND WE CLICK! 



I'm no way a photographer, right? But with a DSLR camera, photos turn out to be a lot nicer, don't you agree? 



DISNEY SEA is just nice




WHERE DREAMS DO COME TRUE INDEED




My mom ate turkey. She didn't eat last time because she said she didn't like it or something but when she ate this, she finished eating in like less than 5 minutes. Amazing. It was a lovely experience hanging out with my mother and also to have spent my day with my long time sis. 









We were able to ride quite a lot in my opinion. Indiana Jones, Railways, 20,000 Leagues, Ship thing, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Tower of Terror. We were also able to watch the show. Nice! Also watched the night parade. That’s like ticking three things we missed last time. 





My mom didn't ride as much and she didn't really enjoy the night parade as much too lol but yeah I think she was able to have a full grasp of the park and yeah that's the purpose of the trip for her I guess. I had fun though! I mean, I can't wait to be back here with the OG DISNEY babies and just have a different perspective than the last few times. No regrets! I would have loved for mom to ride the Venetian Gondola though and for Shella to ride the Toy Story ride but maybe that's for next time! Yay! Or you know, Fuji Q is always nice. WHO knows maybe there will be 4 of us there next time! Or 5. Hi mom! 


Okay so Japan didn’t undergo lockdown of some sort but these mindful companies did close for the sake of many. Hello, Philippines. Anyaresayo? Anyways. That’s what happened. I’m sooo sooo glad I was able to go to DisneySea again! It’s been a wild while! Hope you enjoyed!

Lotte World VS Everland

December 19, 2019 0
Lotte World VS Everland
So if it's your first time in South Korea and you're on limited time, it's wise to actually just pick one because a trip to this place could take up a day of your travel. I mean, unless you don't really like rides and just want to check the place out but also, why bother visiting? I have been to these places twice. So I guess I can impart my knowledge to everyone. Question mark.





So here’s a short comparison of Lotte World and Everland.





LOTTE WORLD




EVERLAND



1. Location


Lotte World is way more accessible than Everland. In my understanding, you can either ride the train, bus, or taxi when you want to go to Lotte World. Everland, I’m not so sure because the two times I went there, we rode a tour/shuttle bus.

EVERLAND



2. Food


I find Everland better than Lotte World when it comes to food. I didn’t really see a lot of options in Everland and quite a lot of options in Lotte World but yeah. I think Everland has better and easier access to food. ALSO, can we not forget about the corn! THE BEST CORN I EVER HAD IN EVERLAND and probably the worst in LOTTE WORLD.

EVERLAND



3. Rides


Everland has more exciting rides than Lotte World I think. But I actually used to like Lotte World than Everland but now, I like Everland better I think. T-Express for the win!! I mean, it’s worth the 100 minutes of waiting time. For Lotte World though, ATLANTIS ADVENTURE. But yeah, I liked T-Express. We actually almost missed it because I was like, meh let’s just skip this.

4. Parades




I don’t know anymore. I think I used to like Lotte World’s parade and programs but Everland’s concerts and short programs are leveled up and I like it better now. The light parade is better at Everland I think.




5. The Vibes





LOTTE WORLD




EVERLAND


I actually like the vibes of Lotte World better. It's more compact therefore you can see the action more closely than that of Everland. Also, can I just say that the uneven ground/mountainous setting of Everland makes it very hard for oldies like me to enjoy so yeah.

Day 4 | Lotte World

Day 4 | Lotte World




Lotte World! I was also soo excited for this trip! But! Also kind of crowded! We weren’t able to ride one major ride that we kind of hope were able to but yeah we were able to ride more here than we did at Everland though. Anyways. Let’s go! I already don’t remember the sequence of what we did but I will try my best.







Snack Time!







I thought this to be the first time I had this ice cream but I guess I already had this before with Pring. Oh well. You can just skip this by the way. Not so good! 









Indoor goodness! Glad this is indoor because we didn’t bring our coat.





 


OUR FIRST RIDE! 




TGIF SNACKS!



The fries was legit delicious!






PARADE!





The afternoon parade was fun in fairness. 









Even though it’s not as impressive as Disney’s, it’s still nice to walk around and look at this castle because it has the feels somehow.








They had this Selfie Room which used to be a trick eye museum. Very interesting stuff if you ask me. I really enjoyed our little time there.









Savage! Not appropriate! But hey, this is just for fun. And if you think about it, kinda true! 










The CORN WAS SOOO DRY! I don’t recommend!!!! Like, my dreams were shattered! 










We had Panda Express for lunch and it was delicious. Might be my first Panda Express experience?










Lotte Tower




Police! It was my first Halloween experience in here so it was also kinda refreshing.




the castle at night






The night parade wasn't very impressive. I think it's a new program but yeah it was very short and not very entertaining. The afternoon parade was nice though so I liked that one.
