Tokyo Disney — A Few More Things

Posted on by Jack Spence
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.

Disney Steam Trains – Part Four – Tokyo, Paris & Hong Kong

Posted on by Jack Spence
In this final blog about Disney steam trains I’ll be discussing the Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong parks. Tokyo Disneyland The Western River Railroad is unique among its steam train cousins in the other Disney parks in that it doesn’t circle the perimeter of Tokyo Disneyland. You see, if it did, its track length combined … Continue reading "Disney Steam Trains – Part Four – Tokyo, Paris & Hong Kong"

Should you go to Hong Kong and Tokyo Disney?

Posted on by Jack Spence
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?"

Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
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 areas here that could definitely use a face lift like they did to the Tomorrowlands … Continue reading "Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland"

Fantasyland Part 2 – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
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

Posted on by Jack Spence
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. The animals in Critter Country live anywhere there’s room to … Continue reading "Critter Country – Tokyo Disneyland"

Westernland – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
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"
