Tokyo Disneyland Travel Notes - Who doesn't have a Disney dream since childhood?
🏰 Who doesn't have a Disney dream since childhood?
I have always dreamed of visiting all Disney parks around the world when I grow up. So far, I have been to Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney, and Shanghai Disney. This year, let me introduce the Tokyo stop. About Tokyo Disney: The Tokyo Disney Resort consists of two parks: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. The resort is still expanding. It includes five Disney hotels and hotels from international brands, a multi-purpose shopping mall, and a convenient monorail. It is definitely a must-visit attraction when traveling to Tokyo.
Tokyo Disney is not the largest Disney park in the world, but it is the most profitable and has the highest attendance. The revisit rate is as high as 97%, ranking first in the world. After visiting, I found that Tokyo Disney's experience is much better than Shanghai Disney's! This is something every employee learns on their first day. And what I find most fun and addictive is the 'waving culture' that has developed from this. Everywhere in Tokyo Disney, you see people across from you smiling and waving enthusiastically, and you can't help but wave back. Eventually, almost everyone is happily waving, and you just can't stop.
Tokyo Disney is not as big as Shanghai Disney, and there are actually a lot of people, but somehow it feels orderly. Wait times are generally 20-40 minutes, and the price for FastPass is also reasonable and affordable.
