Food at DisneySea

So the big deal about DisneySea in Tokyo is the Fantasy Springs
We ended up at Arendelle inside Fantasy Springs.

In the area, we ended up at Snuggly Duckling

The details are amazing!

And some awesome artwork everywhere.  There's a trick to coming here thought, you do have to have a mobile order placed before they'll let you in, especially if it's cold or rainy.  That's their way of crowd control, much like their rides.

I got another set for meal.  Again, check the mobile order to see if there's any upgrade opportunities for any collectables.  And if you check their site, they will tell you what they have what which restaurant has what goodies.

I got Ham and Cheese, and I truly thought it was just ham and cheese, not realizing it's Ham & Cheese AND Hamburger.  So it was lots of meat for a lunch. 

The set came with fries and a drink.  I got a 'dessert' which is really colorful jello and cream, but it came with a limited edition cup, so what the heck.  YOLO, amirite?!

Back to the front of the park after walking around a bunch, we sat down for tea break.  Instead I got a coffee latte, not realizing that it came with coffee jelly.  I'm not a fan of that, but since that's what I got, just drank it. 

Of course, I got the famous Mike Wazowski Melon Pan.  It was odd, because I thought it was baked that way, but it's really a regular Melon Pan (Bread) with a fondant layer on top.   So, there you have it, the extra 'sweet' came from the fondant top.   The Melon Pan by itself is totally fine, but for novelty, right?! 

DisneySea has alot of unique rides, but they also have some that are familiar like the Tower of Terror.  That ride has like 240 minute wait time.  Erm, no, thanks!  But! If you go to the Tower of Terror gift shops, they have gachapon machine for 500 yen you can twist for a toy.

Food at Disneyland

When in Tokyo Disneyland, must have some of their food.
But first, yes, we went before rope drop.

Not because we're crazy, but the line is really long.  Since Tokyo Disney are mostly attended by locals. 

Must have the Cinderella Castle shot.

But wait, wait! We have Baymax Vending machines.  They're just too cute not to share.

Another cute thing, is the Chef in the Beauty and the Beast ride.

When you buy meal sets, they have park limited merch, like candy holder, special plates, lunch bag... etc.  My set came with sandwich, fries, and soda.  Don't worry I didn't eat all that on the tray.

I got the fried chicken sandwich, what's unusual is that they paired it Tartar sauce, which we typically associate with fish, not meat.  The outcome, I don't hate it, not sure if I want to go back to it.  Definitely different. 

The day we were there was a tad cool, so grabbed a cup of Peach tea.  Turns out there are real slices of peach at the bottom of the cup.  No wonder it smelled extra nice. 

Another kind of vending machine, it's tea pots in front of Alice's dining hall.  They even blow smoke on the spout. 

For afternoon snack, finally found the little Alien Mochi.  They come in either 3 or 5 pieces.  It has chocolate filling, strawberry filling, and vanilla.  The chocolate one was a surprise.  I'm used to fruit middle for mochi usually.  But it was extra chewy.

Skippers - Burger in Japan

I know it's weird, first meal in Japan is burger but it was close by, so no choice.
Plus, they seemed like a gourmet burger, so why not give it a try.

Started with an Apple Soda, don't get that very often, so must try that out.

First up, onion rings.  I cannot deny a good onion ring.  Look at these big boys.  Seriously though the regular order gives you 6 rings, if it's a mini order, they give you 3.   Don't worry, I shared mine.

I got the slider trio.  They made their buns in-house, so I was kinda excited to see how they measured up.

All have a mini patty, left one has bacon on top with cheese, middle one has has brown on top, which is my favorite combo.  The last one has bacon, pepper and bbq sauce, that one was spicier than I like.  

The meal is definitely more than feeling not only by Japanese standard, but US standard too.  The whole thing is feel will quality meat, it is no wonder that the charge is higher than some other food places we've been.   That said, we did see families and people come here after work.   It was certainly convenient for us, as a late night dining spot.
