    Has it felt a little less crowded at Tokyo Disney Resort?  If so, it’s not just a feeling – the numbers back it up. 727,000 fewer guests visited Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea in the first half of 2015, according to stats published this week by the Oriental Land Company – the parks’ owner.  Even so, 14,372,000 people passed through the turnstiles at the two parks – making it the third-biggest first six months of business in a year in the company’s history.

    September 4, 2015 - By 

    When I have spare time on my hands, I’m a big fan of opening up YouTube and searching for long forgotten television footage of pop culture moments. With the 14th anniversary of Tokyo DisneySea upon us, I decided to open up a web browser window to see what I could find from the park’s opening on YouTube. Finding Japanese TV moments on YouTube isn’t always easy.  There is a language barrier for English-speaking fans like me, and because of (what I have been told) are stricter copyright laws than in North America, it’s not as easy to find Japanese television clips uploaded…

In Anaheim, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong, this is the flagship hotel, the crown jewel.  It is often the most five-star of the five-star experiences you can encounter in a Disney holiday.  And it is not cheap. Granted, Disneyland Hotel has come a long way from its primitive roots. On October 5, 1955, Jack Wrather…

Trains Like with pretty much everything else in Tokyo, the train is your best option – and, to be specific, it’ll be the “Keiyō Line” which takes you to Maihama Station – Tokyo Disney Resort’s front door. The entryway to the Tokyo Disney Resort after disembarking the Keiyō Line at Maihama Station.
