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"

Hong Kong Tomorrowland & Disney on Parade

Posted on by Jack Spence
The last land I will be talking about at Hong Kong Disneyland is Tomorrowland. Like Fantasyland, it feels small compared to other parks. The first attraction I’ll be discussing it Orbitron.

I thought I’d post some follow-ups to a couple of previous blog entries. Last week I wrote about the new House of the Future, coming to Disneyland in May. (That blog entry can be found HERE.)

Step Back in Time – Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Jack Spence
I first visited Disney World in January 1972. Over the years, I took a number of pictures while vacationing here. Looking back, I wish I had taken more, but then I have to remind myself, film was expensive and having the photos developed added to the cost. So I cherish the pictures I did take … Continue reading "Step Back in Time – Magic Kingdom"
