Tokyo DisneySea – Part 4

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I found that Tokyo DisneySea reminded me much more of Universal's Islands of Adventure than any other Disney park. Some similar looks to those of the Port of Entry, Lost Continent, and Jurassic Park areas of Islands of Adventure. Not that that's a bad thing - those are all really well-done!

Tokyo Disney Resort – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Tokyo Disney Resort - Day 2, Part 1, Tokyo Disneyland Ohayou Gozaimasu! We wake up to a beautiful morning at Tokyo Disneyland - blue sky and sunshine - and 42 degrees. Oh well, can't have everything, and after four cloudy days I'm ready for some sunshine. We got up at 7:00 and breakfasted off the yogurt and pastries we'd purchased the previous night. We used the hot water pot to brew the instant coffee and tea - the tea was micro-powdered instant green tea and not tea bags. I thought it was really bad. I don't think Lee complained about the coffee, though.

Tokyo Disney Resort – Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Tokyo Disney Resort - Day 1 When we last left our merry band of adventurers, we had just finished two wonderful days at Hong Kong Disneyland. Deb, Linda, Jeanine, Jack, and Pete flew to Tokyo the next day while Lee and I spent a day sightseeing in Hong Kong. Lee and I had moved to a hotel on the Kowloon Peninsula, so had to make our way back to the airport. We took a shuttle bus that picked up at our hotel as well as several others. Lots of narrow streets and no street signs - I'm really glad our bus driver knew where he was going because I would've been hopelessly lost!

In Part 1 you probably read enough background and now you're ready to learn something about the park and the attractions, right? :-) But first...This was the start of a dream come true for most of us. I asked everyone in our group to tell me what went through their mind when they walked on Hong Kong Disneyland's Main Street for the first time, and this is what they told me:
