DisneyLand and DisneySea

Ambitious as it sounds, I visited BOTH DisneySEA and DisneyLAND on the same day!!!!!
It was possible as it was a weekday - not much crowd around, except for a few schools at DisneyLand. At DisneySea, there was hardly any queue for all the rides, so i managed to sweep thru the whole park within a matter of 3 hours.

DisneySEA:
The landmark of DisneySEA is perhaps the fake volcano mountain u see in the background. There is a roller coaster ride in it. At nite, there will be (fake) smoke coming out from the peak.

The big tower u see in the background is the "Tower of Terror", one of the more famous rides in DinseySea.

Roller coaster within an "ancient burial ground"
There are many nice structures/buildings around and they all revolve the theme of "castle", "ancient tomb", "harbour" etc etc.

This nice building is Aladdin Palace

All in all, I feel that most of the rides in SEA are catered for children. There are not as adventurous as those found in Universal Studios. Of course, there are some good rides here and there.

My recommendations:

1) Journey to the Centre of the Earth (the roller coaster in the fake mountain). Its a good ride..it brings u in and out of the volcano, with some drops and spins along the way. Good decoration and props too.

2) Tower of Terror: Its a bit the ... ermm... I'm not sure how to describe it. Some pple may find it stupid.

Seriously NOT recommended(excluding all the kiddy rides):

1) Raging Spirits (Roller coaster): Its small, its pathertic, and the 360 degree turn is barely 2 stories high. Even toddlers arent scared to take this ride

2) Aladdin 3-D show: My friend and i both fell asleep 5 min into the show. The attendent had to wake us up when the show ended to ask us to leave the theater. Blahh.

DisneyLAND;

Perhaps the more HAPPENING place out of the 2.

Day and night view of the famous Disney Castle.

Here, there are more cartoon characters to take photos with. Its as though returning back to your childhood where those nostalgic characters like Mickey, Donald, Goofy come to life again.

The queues here in DisneyLand are significantly longer than that in SEA. You even have to queue up to take photos with those cartoon characters!

As usual, nice colourful buildings with tonnes of rides. (including a significant number of rides catered to adults).
There's also a fake island, fake forest, fake animals etc etc all around the place.

Their night street parade is impressive, quite similar to the "chingay" parade we see in Singapore.

There are many good rides here:

My Recommendations:

1) Space mountain(an indoor roller coaster)- It is pitch-black inside, except for some light here and there, which simulates outer space. U cannot see where you are going! And the ride is very fast...

2) Haunted Mansion: Very relaxing ride. Beautifully decorated haunted mansion, with laser lighting efffects to simulate spirits.

3) Splash mountain(roller coaster that splashes into the water): One of the better-decorated ones compared to other theme parks, and this ride actually last for abt 7 min long.
