Introduction Tokyo DisneyLand
Walt Disney Imagineering designed the Japanese version of Disneyland by reusing much of the layout and rides from the Anaheim park. Calling it just a copy isn't the right way to describe what has become a unique and successful park with its own history. The designers did take the opportunity during the planning phase to add more room to the open areas. As a result, the park is bigger at 114 acres but actually has fewer attractions. Around 85,000 people are admitted at once which sometimes still isn't enough. Amazing..
The park is not only the magic kingdom but the American kingdom as well. The owners tried being independent of American influences (corporate and social) and nearly went bankrupt before realizing they needed a unique product that other Japanese theme parks couldn't match. And today, it has a distinct (for Japan) American feel. Many "cast members" are from abroad and most restaurants serve American food. Good American classics like curry flavored popcorn and pork cutlet burgers are sold in the park. Well, okay, some of the food is adapted to fit the local palette.
Features
The park is divided into 7 (seven) areas and the centerpiece of Tokyo Disneyland, like most Disney resorts, is Cinderella's Castle. and most famous rides from the original are recreated here as well. The areas are:- World Bazaar
- Adventureland
- Westernland
- Critter Country
- Fantasyland
- Toontown
- Tomorrowland
Review
The park is meticulously maintained and cleaned even by Disney's high standards. Rides look like new and spilled popcorn and drinks are gone by the next time you look. Japanese customer service is possibly better then you'll find any other real country but the magic kingdom manages to top it. The investment made in training and having good management clearly makes this park the superior experience that it is. Honestly, other than feeling a bit too open in some areas there is little to not recommend about Tokyo Disneyland.DisneySea
Yeah..Disneysea..Located behind Tokyo Disneyland is a separate Disney theme park called Tokyo DisneySea. This aquatic theme park is separate from Disneyland and has been highly successful. It's aimed at a bit older audience. Two day passports can be bought to visit one and then the other on the next day.Getting There
The main way people in Japan reach Disneyland is from JR Tokyo Station. The Keiyou Line (京葉線) trains go directly to JR Maihama Station where the main entrance to Tokyo Disney Resort is. This line has an underground platform which is a fair distance under and away from the main platforms. Follow the red signs to get to the platform. Well it takes about 15 minutes to get to Maihama. Please check the Disney website for how to reach the park from other places.The language spoken in Japan is Japanese but not knowing it isn't a barrier to having a good time in the park. Every sign and announcement is in Japanese and English. This is as much for visitors from other parts of Asia as it is for native speakers...so..dont forget to come if you visit Japan okay? see ya..
