The meal sets do come with unlimited bread, so you can leave full if you want to.
We eat so much bread at Magellan's!
The sets used to include unlimited soft drinks too, but unfortunately that changed ... a year or two ago?

I didn’t realize people disliked aquatopia. We loved it too! We rode it twice because we liked it so much. We also loved sinbad and it was a walk on when we did it. I can’t wait to hopefully take our son next year to mermaid lagoon. The Ariel playground is really cute. I hope we get to ride soaring next year. It’ll depend on waits and we will have to take turns ridingDay 3 (Part 3) - DisneySea
After our late lunch at Magellan's, we headed over to Port Discovery. Aquatopia had a 15 minute wait, so we hopped in the standby line.

I've heard a lot of bad things about this ride, but we loved it. It was just so silly. We spent most of our time giggling.
It was now time to ride Journey with our DAS.
View attachment 472437
This was our first time riding with the DAS. Redeeming it would prove to be just as awkward as getting the return time.
While in line, one of the cast members recognized me from our previous rides. He asked how many times we had been on Journey, and he exclaimed loudly and hilariously when I said it was our third time that day.
The cast members really are the difference between the Tokyo parks and the parks in the US. The worst Tokyo cast member we came across would be in the 90th percentile of US cast members.
Next, we decided to get a DAS return time for Soaring. The lines for it had been insanely long all day. Our return time was like 3 hours out.
After that we walked around Mermaid Lagoon for a bit. We didn't do any of the attractions.

There was only one area we hadn't been to yet. The Arabian Coast!
We were pretty hungry, so we tried to find the Chandu Bun. Apparently they don't have it any more. So we ignored our stomachs for the time being and hopped in the standby line for Sindbad's Storybook Adventure.

I adored this ride. It is one of my top two favorite dark rides I've ever been on.

I enjoyed the ride so much, we rode it again immediately. It was a walk on both times.
It still wasn't time for our Soaring DAS, so we decided to listen to our stomachs and get something to eat. We settled on Gyoza Dogs! Sorry the picture is so bad.

After that we did some more shopping. Then we got our last snack of the night.
View attachment 472455
I thought these only came in 3 flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla. It turns out if you get the 9 pack you get a 4th flavor: Green Tea. It was our least favorite flavor. I loved the chocolate, and Pocky loved the Vanilla.
It was now 6:40, and finally time to use our DAS. The park was closing at 7pm, so this would be our last ride of the day. Of course, I forgot to take any pictures.
We had originally planned on skipping Soaring, but I'm glad we didn't. The last two scenes are different from the version at WDW. And the queue and preshow are amazing.
We exited Soaring just as Fantasmic was ending. So we exited the park with the masses and headed for the monorail.
We were able to do the following attractions on what was a very busy day:
Journey to the Center of the Earth x3
Sindbad's Storybook Voyage x2
Soaring: Fantastic Flight
Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Aquatopia
We loved every ride except 20,000 Leagues.
We also did a lot of shopping! I bought a Chandu passholder, Tokyo Disneyland pin, soundtrack CDs for both parks, and a mini Journey to the Center of the Earth ride vehicle. Pocky bought too many things to list, lol. Mostly food to bring home and Duffy related merch.
That does it for our first day at DisneySea. I'll be back shortly with our first day at Disneyland.
I was asking Chisoxcollector specifically since he's doing the report, but I certainly welcome any other opinions! Thank you. Unfortunately I have not been to The Wave but I hear the raves on the Unplugged videos all the time.I’m not who you asked but we are there for lunch last year. I would compare the quality to The Wave. We thought it was all very good and would eat there again. I agree the portions were small but you get multiple courses and it’s a perfect amount to not make you feel too full
All photos were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S10+.Agree! Apologies if I missed it earlier in your posts but what camera are you using?
I'm curious about Magellan's as that's the only table service I was considering doing. By the food being "very good," if you had to compare the overall quality, not specifically the cuisine or the taste, to a WDW or DL restaurant, which would you say it compares to? I'm honestly wondering if it's worth it, especially since I'll be solo. Thanks for the continued, awesome report!
I agree with Haley, The Wave is a good comparison.I’m not who you asked but we are there for lunch last year. I would compare the quality to The Wave.

I think I ate 4 rolls with my meal, lol. I wish they had free refills. They whisked my Kirin Lemon glass away as soon as I finished it.We eat so much bread at Magellan's!

They do offer Rider Swap. The return time paper slips they gave me for DAS also had a rider switch section on it.I didn’t realize people disliked aquatopia. We loved it too!

Oh that’s good to know! Dh said he would just wait and not worry about riding. He might change his mind when we go. He isn’t a huge rides person thoughAll photos were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S10+.

You can make them online a month before. They recently added English support for reservations! Or you can do it day of at the restaurant starting at 10am.So what is in the Goyza Dog...? Just like a regular hot dog? or is more like sasuage? or something all together different? It looks really interesting....
The meal at Magellan's looked really wonderful... and yummy.... How did you make reservations? and was it easy? can you please explain...
Looking forward to your next day.... How is you knee feeling?
Haha - I normally eat between 6 and 8! Especially if I have soup for one of the courses.
It’s a shame they’ve stopped the Chanda curry buns. They’re the most delicious snack item, other than fresh churros of course!
We were just there in November and it was available at the ice cream stand. It's not the tail shape anymore, it's round like the Donald Life Preserver bun, but it is still an orange curry bun and the packaging has Chandu's face.
I was wondering and have a couple of questions..
We are planning on 3 1/2 days in the parks... and we are buying a 4 day ticket, so we have the option of park hopping on day 3 and 4... we are planning on checking out of our Hotel in Odaiba, and heading over to the Hilton Tokyo Bay... once we get there check in, get tickets... and head for the parks so this will be our half day... we are really not planning a time frame nor have we decided on transportation between the two.... if we will be going by train or private car or taxi...
Do you feel that Disney Seas is a one day park?... that you can pretty much see it all and do a fair amount of things... DH isn't a big coaster guy he does like thunder and splash mountain, and rode Indiana Jones at Disneyland Paris and it goes up side down and he loved it, we both love Indy and the theming was so cool I think that played into the whole thing ... he diffidently will not ride Tower of Terror, he just really doesn't like the ride here at WDW he can't get into the story line, so I can't see him wanting him to do it... plus he a solid 6'4" so his height will come into play for sure...
For sure we are doing 2 full days at Disneyland... that's set in stone...
So that leaves us with the 1/2 a day... so where should we go on arrival day...? and why?
I ask all this as several of our friends that have been and in reading trip reports here... Is seems like most people spend more time at Disneyland... my friends said the only reason they went back to Disney Seas one evening, was to enjoy adult beverages and walk around check out all the lands, in the evening all lite up everything was quite impressive.. and take a ton of pictures...
