Trick or Beer!

“Nothing better than an after-work beer. Cheers!” My friend and I gulped down beer in a fantasy world. All of my cells enjoyed drinking cold draft beer, too. Actually, we didn’t work that day. We visited Tokyo DisneySea with the thought of riding the Tower of Terror and having a beer while eyeing Mickey Mouse.

Oct. 2nd, it was a beautiful day. About 2 and half hours had passed since we arrived at DisneySea. It was the first day of nice weather we had had in a while, but we were still standing in line to get on the Tower of Terror. I was thirsty and starving, because I hadn’t eaten anything since morning, and my leg had gotten bitten by a mosquito an hour earlier. A horrifying thing was that I had to wait for another 30 minutes while battling with hunger and itches. While we were waiting, we tried to only think about something fun, such as having cold beer with some nice snacks after this.

We had patiently waited out our turn. How could we wait such a long time? There was no doubt that Mickey Mouse’s magical power had been working on us, because we hate to stand in line and usually we don’t outside of DisneySea. Additionally, between Sep.9 and Oct.31, DisneySea is celebrating Halloween and it is decorated for that. Maybe ghosts helped to increase Mickey’s potency more than usual. Last time when I visited here, I waited for an hour and half to ride it. This time I had to wait for 3 hours which doubles the length of the last time. If I come here next time, will I wait for 6 hours?

“Oh, no… yieeeeeeep!” I felt my stomach float like yo-yo. “Uh-oh, yieeep!!” We waited for 3 hours and rode it for only a couple of minutes, but we were so excited we forgot about the long wait. We could reach our first objective. When we got out of the Tower of Terror the sun had almost set. The rest of our objective was having a cold beer. We were desperate to search for a place where we could drink beer.

“Hey, look! There is a stand selling beer!! Now, we can have a cold draft beer and sausage, whoopee!!”

We downed a glass of beer in one gulp. Cold beer coursed through our bodies. “Another one?” “Sure, why not!” We enjoyed having beer with tasty snacks — black pepper flavor popcorn and bone sausage — in a fantasy world. The wind felt so good. That was our ideal weekend at DisneySea, even though Mickey and Minnie Mouse were missing.

                                                      

Drinking a couple of beers brought about a pump-priming effect. We embarked on an adventurous journey to find other places where we could drink alcohol. Drinking beer then riding an attraction which we didn’t have to wait long; it was like a sandwich. While we were looking for nice restaurants and unpopular rides, my friend pointed at a map and said to me, “Look at the map, there is a Mexican restaurant here! It has wine also.” “Sounds yummy! Let’s go!!” We scurried to the restaurant — “Two glasses of white wine, french fries and salsa sauce, please.”

                                              

Now, we slaked all of our desires by drinking chilly white wine. We ended up enjoying drinking more than riding attractions. When I look back now, we didn’t see Mickey and Minnie Mouse, but we could enjoy an early Halloween at DisneySea in our own way — Happy Halloween, Trick or Beer!
