Tokyo’s Disney Resort is made up of two theme parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. You will need to allow two days if you wish to visit both.
Tokyo Disneyland
Modelled on Disneyland California and Magic Kingdom in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland is one of the best Disney parks in the world. The most popular rides include Pooh’s Honey Hunt, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, the Haunted Mansion and Monster’s Inc Ride and Go Seek.
How to get there:
At Tokyo Station, switch to JR Keiyo Line or JR Musashino Line and go to Maihama Station. If you have a JR Pass, this journey is covered with your pass.
Tokyo Disneyland attracts big crowds so plan to arrive as early as possible and make the most of your time in the park.
If you’ve visited Disney in the US and want to focus on Tokyo’s unique rides then check out:
• Pooh’s Honey Hunt: the honeypots travel seamlessly through a trackless system making for a unique and surreal experience.
• Monster’s Inc Ride and Go Seek: riders are given a flashlight weapon to search for monsters, scoring points on a sighting. The level of detail is mesmerising.
• Parades: Dreaming up and Dreamlights.
• Space Mountain: the single rider queues are usually a breeze in Tokyo Disneyland. On the day we visited the wait time was less than 15 minutes for a single rider.
Make sure to buy tickets in advance as Tokyo Disneyland can sell out
