To start, let’s dive right intoTokyo Disneyland.
Also, there were barely any strollers.
(Seriously, my mind was blown.)
There are two Disney parks in Japan — and they’re considered by many to be the best Disney parks in the world.
In Florida, all the parks have large designated sections just for stroller parking.
So, if you’re looking for a “nostalgic” fix, then Tokyo Disneyland is your park.
Another ride I loved was, of course, Space Mountain.
Did I love it?
Was I praying to the unknown gods of the universe for three minutes straight to spare my life?
Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the prices are significantly lower than in the States.
Because of this, I also recommend looking at the park map beforehand.
Most of Tokyo DisneySea’s attractions are wildly unique.
First up: Journey to the Center of the Earth.
What makes this attraction a must-ride is the overall experience from the queue to the attraction.
Just like the Beauty and the Beast ride at Tokyo Disneyland, no creative detail is ignored.
you could catch all the shows in the Mediterranean Harbor.
Similar to Epcot, DisneySea has a nighttime water show called Believe!
This port is home to the “magical spring leading to a world of Disney fantasy.”
Of course, for both parks, we can’t forget to talk about souvenirs.
Tokyo Disney puts the U.S. parks to shame when it comes to merchandise.
However, while some merchandise is kawaii in nature, a lot of it is downright practical.
I saw so many character-centric soap dispensers, eyeglass holders, coin pouches, handkerchiefs, and more.
Pro tip: Tell your bank account you’re sorry in advance.
(Although Tomorrowland is getting revamped soon, so this issue will no longer be a problem.)
1.Don’t panic if you don’t read or speak Japanese.
My suggestion is to download a translation app and talk to it to help speak with the Cast Members.
(Here’s aTikTok videoas an example.)
Let’s just say I felt completely underdressed when I was there in my shorts and shirt.
Having these items on hand while we were there made the whole experience much, much easier.
You’ll just need cash to use them.
5.Okay, now let’s talk tickets.
See, I told you the tickets are significantly cheaper.
At this time, there are no Park Hopper options; only single-day tickets.
Plus, kids under the age of three can go to the park for free.
Before you purchase your tickets, seriously consider the days you want to go.
Each provides different benefits, services, and price points.
If you prefer using a taxi service instead, just be mindful that they’re incredibly expensive.
(Ubers don’t operate in Japan.)
I live in New York, and my heart nearly dropped.
