Today's attraction in the spotlight at Tokyo DisneySea is one where we can get up-close-and-personal with Ariel and her friends, from The Little Mermaid. We head into the Mermaid Lagoon Theatre, ready for the "Under the Sea" production.
But first, some friendly words of advice.

Something So Old
On the recent Royal Trip to Disneyland, we came across some fantastic Hidden Treasures. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know that I love Disney Details and Hidden Treasures!
This Hidden Treasure is one that upon further research is probably not that Hidden at all, but more like an Overlooked Treasure! It has been described as the oldest attraction in Disneyland, being aged between 55 million and 70 million years old. The Petrified Tree's remains was purchased by Walt Disney and family in 1956, from the Pike Forest Fossil Beds in Colorado.
After residing at the Disney residence for more than a year, Lilian Disney presented the tree to Disneyland after deciding it was too big for their home! There is an inscription beneath the tree which reads:

from the Pike Petrified Forest, Colorado
This section weighs five tons and measures 7 1/2 feet in diameter. The original tree, estimated to have been 200 feet tall, was part of a sub-tropical forest 55 to 70 million years ago in what is now Colorado. Scientists believe it to be of the Redwood of Sequoia Species. During some prehistoric era a cataclysmic upheaval caused silica laden water to overspread the living forest. Wood cells were changed during the course of time to sandstone. Opals were formed within the tree trunk itself.

Perhaps this is where the Sequoia Lodge in Disneyland Paris got its name from?

Sailing on a Gondola in...Tokyo?
To fully enjoy our Venetian Gondola experience in Tokyo DisneySea, it's important that we read the pamphlet, which points out some of the exciting and interesting sights of the Mediterranean Harbour.

Fancy Seeing a Movie?
Now that Christmas and New Year is out of the way, perhaps you are looking for something to do - something to pass the time. I always think January is a bit of a 'down' month, so I am always interested in cheering myself up! Last year I booked a trip to Walt Disney World during it!I am not suggesting you book a holiday to our favourite place in the world, but if you need your injection of Disney - and especially if you live in North America - why not go along and see The Princess and the Frog? The reintroduction of 2D, 'old fashioned' animation is a great way to bring a little bit of Disney into your life, whilst seeing a fun movie in return!
If you are like myself and the Royal Family, however, and live in a country where the film has yet to be released, there are many other ways you can cheer yourself up with Disney! I recently purchased a Disney-themed jigsaw, and I also love to make scrapbooks and photo albums in relation to my previous Disney trips.
But that doesn't mean we can't look forward to the release of The Princess and The Frog in a cinema near us in the meantime. For the UK market, the film is released 5th February 2010. And here are just some of the other major market dates, so make sure to make a note in your 2010 diary!
Please note, all dates are subject to change
France - 27th January 2010
Switzerland - 27th January 2010
Netherlands - 3rd February 2010
Spain - 4th February 2010
Hong Kong - 18th February 2010
Norway - 19th February 2010
