During the postings of my Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney blogs, I received several emails from people asking me if it’s worth the trip to travel this vast distance to visit these parks. Ultimately, this would depend on your budget...

Much of the architecture of Tokyo’s Tomorrowland is stuck in the 80’s. Actually, it’s stuck in the 70’s as it was copied after the Magic Kingdom at WDW – which was designed in the ‘60’s. In other words, there are...

I rank Pooh’s Hunny Hunt as one of my all time, world-wide favorite Disney attractions! And considering I’m not a big fan of Winnie the Pooh, that’s saying a lot. When I wrote about World Bazaar, I mentioned that I...

The Hub isn’t really a “land” but my blog about World Bazaar was getting a little long so I decided to give this area its own column. The Hub at Tokyo Disneyland is a little different from that of the...

Before I start describing anything, I need to let you know that I’ve been to Tokyo Disneyland three times, once in 1996, again in 2003, and finally this year. On each occasion, I visited the park multiple days. I also...

From Hong Kong I flew to Japan for seven full days at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Before I start describing the parks, I’d like to give you a little background about the resort. In the late 1970’s, the Oriental Land...
