Half their DisneySea group left at 1:30

Two friends stayed at DisneySea in Urayasu until seven, happily exploring the park's little corners. The couple they'd come with left around 1:30pm and preferred the rest of the day in Asakusa. For the husband, rides were the point. Journey to the Center of the Earth and Indiana Jones were closed on that visit. He did four other rides; two involved ¥2,000-per-person passes. Peter Pan was a highlight, but he wasn't willing to queue for 90 minutes or more. Fortress Explorations offers a different sort of afternoon: a fort and galleon to roam through, with nautical instruments and models of planetary motion. Another visitor spent much longer there than expected, hunting for hidden rooms as if it were a game.
