Tokyo Disneyland
Tokyo Disneyland might be my favorite Disneyland after visiting every Disneyland! Although a lot of the rides of the same as in Anaheim- several things stand out:
- Beauty and the Beast ride is amazing (definitely buy Disney Premier Access as soon as entering the park)
- Food/snack culture i.e. popcorn buckets, cute and exclusive items
- 3. It just feels cleaner and more civilized than Anaheim Disneyland
I went to rope drop - waiting at the gates over an hour.
Entered around 8 AM
(What the entrance is like later in the afternoon on a Tuesday:
Refreshment Corner
Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast - 10/10 and one of the best Disney rides!
Ice Cream break
Small World
Huey, Dewey & Louie's Good Time Cafe
Cinderella Castle
Theme in February is Minnie's FunderlandStitch Encounter - the experience was all in Japanese, and a cast member tried warning us- but we still went to get a break from the warm-ish day and it was still fun! Basically a Japanese turtle talk.
Space Mountain - one major difference from states - there is no music! A little weird. But I kept hearing the Japanese students in our car say "yabai!"
Harmony in Color - a fun parade for the 40th anniversary with a catchy song in English. My favorite part was seeing people line up the plushies and get really into the parade!!
Merch
Fantasy Land Forest Theater - you can enter a lottery for an "Entry Request Experience" and we got "Mickey's magical music world"- it was narrated in Japanese but a majority of songs were in English.
Ice Cream Cones
Jungle Cruise - loved that it had a whole Cambodian temple component!
Cosmic Ray's
Main Street Electrical Parade - lots of viewing spots even without Disney Premier Access, this was a well-done and fairly long parade.
Cinderella Castle at night + Fireworks (5 min show)
Overall, Tokyo Disney was a fun experience - Beauty and the Beast is one of the best attractions I've ever been on, the food was tasty, and it just feels bigger and cleaner than other Disney parks.
Regrets: Not doing Monsters Inc, Baymax, and buying certain 40th anniversary merch like postcards. But there's always next trip when maybe staying at the hotel for magic entry would be worth it!
