Tokyo Disneyland The Kingdom of Dreams and Magic

 Tokyo Disneyland The Kingdom of Dreams and Magic

Disney theme park in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Its name is Tokyo Disneyland, but it is actually located in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture.

It was opened in 1983 and is a theme park that reproduces Disneyland in the United States on a site of 826,000㎡. The contents and operation of the facility are the same as Disneyland in the United States, but two out of 32 facilities were newly developed for Japanese audiences. It now forms a Tokyo Disney Resort right next to it, along with Tokyo DisneySea and nearby Disney hotels, official Tokyo Disney Resort hotels, and other facilities outside the Disney Resort Line.

Tokyo Disneyland is the first place outside the United States like McDonald's because Disneyland is a dream and fantasy place to be selected as the third place among 50 places to visit before dying on the BBC. Tokyo Disneyland's great success has since been established in many countries.

Currently, due to the expansion of the Fantasyland Zone in 2020, the Tuntown area and Tomorrowland area have been reduced and are currently under construction. If you have a plan to go to Tokyo Disneyland, let's know this and go.

Finding the way is easier than Tokyo Disney Sea. Because the big Cinderella Castle in the middle is a milestone and you can go to all the areas from the square in front of the castle. It's hard to find only the Toontown.

Most of the famous rides in Disneyland in the U.S. such as It's a Small World, Splash Mountain, Mickey's Pilha Magic, and the Hunt Mansion are also here, so you can enjoy Disneyland rides on the mainland in Japan without going to the U.S.S. Perhaps that's why there are more famous Disney characters here than DisneySea in the 1960s and 1980s. In some cases, memories of Disney animations that I watched when I was young and forgot for a long time are brought back.

Disneyland is not exactly an amusement park, but a theme park. In other words, if you think of a thrilling hot ride, you may be disappointed. You can think of rides as a bonus. The value of Disneyland is that you can enter the world of Disney works directly.

If you look at Peter Pan's attraction of traveling in the sky, you can roughly grasp the identity of Disneyland. In fact, if you look at the balloon itself, it's just sitting on a chair in the air and spinning quietly once. However, it is a reproduction of the famous scene in Peter Pan where Wendy flies to Neverland with Peter Pan in the night sky. The city is made into a miniature and circled on a balloon, and if you look at the realistic music, sound effects, and the night view of the city made with a cute shiny miniature, you can really experience the feeling of being Wendy by being sucked into a scene of Peter Pan. In other words, in Disneyland, attraction is close to a "means" that can allow you to experience Disney's world of work in a more realistic way. Therefore, Disneyland is not just a feeling of going on a ride, but rather a concept of going on an adventure into the world of Disney's works as a place for daily escape. Originally, Disneyland was originally a dreamland in setting, and tickets were passports, not tickets, and Disney dollars were once issued as currency.

There is a Halloween event in Znieland, especially when adults can dress up. If you look at the Halloween season visit to Tokyo Disneyland on a domestic blog, you can see that the value of Disneyland is not just going on rides, but a trip to childhood, where an elderly couple in their 60s come and enjoy Disney character cosplay. In Japan as well as in Korea, there are many adults who grew up watching Disney fairy tales or animations as children and have memories of their childhood, and Disneyland is loved as a place where they can go on adventures in their childhood. As a result, it is more like children's/women's taste, but if it is hardcore and adult taste, Osaka's Universal Studio Japan is better. The difference is revealed just by looking at the Halloween event, and while Disneyland is a fairy tale-like Halloween, USJ uses horror movies as a movie theme park, and there are many hot things that are more thrilling. For reference, both are theme parks of mainland U.S. brands, and Disneyland is ranked first and Universal Studios is ranked second in the world's theme park rankings.

In fact, if you look at Disneyland alone, it is in the U.S. as a chain store (head office), and recently opened in China, so it is less differentiated, and Disney Sea (SEA) is the differentiation of Tokyo Disney Resort. As the name Tokyo Disney Sea reveals, it is an original theme park with the theme of Disney and the sea, especially because the night view is fantastic. Some say that Disney is better for those who are not interested in Disney characters, such as reproducing Venice's gondolas. Disney characters are a bit characteristic, but it's because a place that feels like a vacation spot on a regular beach suits the public's

In principle, Disneyland and DisneySea are separate theme parks, and each must enter with a ticket, and once they come out, they cannot enter again. However, there is a multi-day pass port, and you have to choose only one place to go to the 2-day pass port, but you can enjoy the 3-day and 4-day pass ports freely going back and forth between the two parks. In fact, Disneyland is recognized as an essential level of travel to Tokyo, so you should usually choose one of the two parks for a day, but it is recommended that people who go on a free trip invest two days to experience both parks. According to the Tokyo Disney Sea document, you can think of it as a mini Venice, and it is very fun to enjoy the scenery and eat street food all day long. On the contrary, Real Venice has poor security and poor water quality, but Disney, which sells various foods, is better because it is better to have good security and water quality management, clean and rich in Disney rides. In fact, even if you don't like Disney characters and don't like rides very much, you will be able to make good memories just by looking around the scenery with friends and lovers and eating street food.

Tokyo Disneyland has the advantage of being able to enjoy the Magic Kingdom's attraction at a close distance, with the main theme of "Enjoying Mainland's Attraction without Crossing the Pacific Ocean." The pressure of Japanese is no joke, but the heavy attraction of the fast pass is very enjoyable just to ride. Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Hunt Mansion, and It's Small World are famous attractions from the mainland. In addition, Mickey's underwriting magic and country bear theater were also introduced from the mainland.

The space is a little more quiet, and there are many small rides that can be taken in five minutes, so you can feel more comfortable than Disney Sea. It's fun to actively use fast passes to ride popular attractions and fill in the free time of attractions (5 minutes to 25 minutes of waiting time) It's hard to understand because it's in Japanese, but it's also a break to spend cool time in attractions or stores with few underground spaces.

For your information, there is little time difference between walking from Maihama Station and taking the resort line. If you're worried about the price of 260 yen, it's okay to walk from Maihama Station. You can get there right away by passing through a big store called Bon Voyage and passing through the hotel. Disney Sea takes about 15 to 20 minutes on foot, so it's a little hard to walk. Of course, monorail is recommended for beginners. This is because monorails are not just a means of transportation, but monorails themselves, such as Disney handles, are part of the Disneyland experience. Therefore, since I visited Disneyland, it is worth riding it at least once. There is a risk of trying to save more than 200 yen, but even before looking around Disneyland, there is no answer if you wander to the road. Therefore, first-timers can recommend monorails, and second-visitors can take a leisurely look around and walk.

If you can freely go back and forth between two parks with a multi-day pass port, you must leave the entrance and enter through the entrance of another park again. At this time, a transparent seal is stamped on the hand, and when a special light is illuminated, the mark is revealed and the traffic is permitted. Because it is difficult to travel between the park and the park, there is an inconvenience of having to pay 260 yen to move to the Disney Resort.

In the case of performances inside Disneyland, there are reserved and non-reserved seats, and you have to draw to get to the reserved seats. The place where you can draw is inside Tomorrowland, and Korean language services are also supported. Usually, the first morning performance operates all seats as non-reserved seats, and most of the performances are divided into reserved seats/free seats from the second.
