Tokyo Disney — A Few More Things

Two new attractions have opened at Tokyo Disneyland since my detailed description of this park a few years ago. Let’s start with the lesser of the two. The Enchanted Tiki Room: Stitch Presents “Aloha E Komo Mai!” has replaced The Enchanted Tiki Room: “Get the Fever.” The entire show is presented in Japanese. I saw … Continue reading "Tokyo Disney — A Few More Things"

Friends from Japan

Posted on
Usually, I try to keep my blogs informational rather than personal, but today I’m going to share a pleasant day I had with one of my readers. While writing my blogs about the Tokyo Disney Resort, I received an email from a gentleman in Japan. He introduced himself as Katsumi and told me that he … Continue reading "Friends from Japan"

Should you go to Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney?

Posted on
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 and how strong your desire is to experience the foreign Disney parks, but I will … Continue reading "Should you go to Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney?"

Fantasyland Part 2 – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on
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 would talk about FASTPASS in a later blog. Well the time has come. FASTPASS works … Continue reading "Fantasyland Part 2 – Tokyo Disneyland"

Fantasyland Part 1 – Tokyo Disneyland

Fantasyland Part 1 Before I start my description of Fantasyland, I need to post a correction. My friend Katsumi, who lives in Tokyo, informs me that the Japanese do indeed wear shorts during the months of July and August when temperatures demand cooler attire. So feel free to don your lighter togs during this time. … Continue reading "Fantasyland Part 1 – Tokyo Disneyland"

Critter Country is the smallest land at Tokyo Disneyland and is located at the top end of the Rivers of America. The only access to Critter Country is through Westernland. And in a sense, Critter Country a subset of Westernland, just with a whimsical feel.

Westernland – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on
The word “frontier” does not translate adequately into Japanese so the name Westernland was used in Tokyo Disneyland to describe the American West. For me, the name “Westernland” is a lot easier to accept than Main Street being called World Bazaar. When entering Westernland from Adventureland, the transition is smooth enough. But the division between … Continue reading "Westernland – Tokyo Disneyland"

You can enter Adventureland from several areas, the first being World Bazaar (Main Street). Unlike the other Main Streets around the world, Center Street connects to Tomorrowland and Adventureland. The next two pictures show the Adventureland Entrance from Center Street. There is also the traditional Adventureland entrance off of The Hub marked by a large, … Continue reading "Adventureland – Tokyo Disneyland"

The Hub — Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on
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 other Magic Kingdoms. When exiting World Bazaar (Main Street), you enter a sort of courtyard … Continue reading "The Hub — Tokyo Disneyland"
