If you have been to Tokyo, no matter if you are an adult or a child, Tokyo Disney Resort must be a destination that you should never miss! The specialty of Tokyo Disney Resort is that there are two theme parks there. One is Disneyland and the other is Disney Sea. I have been to Disneyland at least thirty times, Disney Sea fifteen times but I couldn't say which is the better. This is the place that makes people's dreams come true.
Just like Narita Airport, the whole Disney resort was built by reclamation and it is nearby the ocean. The location is quite convenient, it takes only fifteen minutes from Tokyo main station to Maihama, which is where Disney is located. If you don't want to travel at all, the best choice for you would be the official and good partner hotels. There is a monorail inside the resort, by the rail, we are able to travel from the hotel to Disneyland and Disney Sea, and of course the rail is so cute that I don't feel I was taking a public transportation!
First, I am going to introduce Disneyland. It would be the best choice if it is the first time you go to Disney, all of the classic characters are in there, and all most all of the rides are suitable for little kids. Once when we entered the gate, we were just like going into another world. Tokyo Disney Resort is always very crowded, however, there is a convenient service in both lands which is called "Fastpass". Fastpass is available for many popular rides for both Land and Sea. When we have to queue for a ride for a long time, take the fastpass first, take other rides and come back before the time on the fastpass!
The best part of Disneyland is that there are tons of special events according to different holidays. Last time when I went to Disneyland was the time of Tanabata for Land and 15th anniversary for Sea. Mickey and Minnie were wearing Japanese bathrobes and there's a special parade in the morning.
In the beginning of July, there are less people in both lands. We were so lucky that we spent four days there and we took all the rides and saw all the parades! There are six main areas in Disneyland, they are Adventureland, Westernland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Toontown and Tomorrowland. My favorite route is to begin at Tomorrowland. The first ride we took was called Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters. It is one of the most popular rides in Disneyland and it's an interesting shooting attraction using the astro blasters and defeat the evil Emperor Zurg.
After the Buzz Lightyear, we saw a cute street vendor selling ice cream. They are not just normal ice creams but they have the shape of Mickey's head! My brother and I couldn't wait to have one! The orange one is tropical fruit flavor and the other one is peach. They are really enjoyable when it's July and we have to walk through the park!
Next, we went to Fantasyland. This is the area all the Disney princesses live. My favorite attraction in this area is Pooh's Hunny Hunt. This ride is so cool that we don't see any rails on the floor but the cars could go through the route so well. And this ride is so popular that we often have to wait for so long. We almost queued for 60 minutes, but we don't even feel bored or tired when we were queuing. The queuing line was so cute and it made us feel like we were walking in Pooh's home.
One thing I have done for almost thirty times is watch the night parade. Every time I watch the parade I would find different things, it's just like Disneyland itself, they always amazed the guests. This parade is called Electrical Parade Dreamlights. For me, it's a big part of my childhood because my mother always brought me here when we have time. Whenever I see this parade it make me feel like home.
There is no doubt that Tokyo Disneyland is my favorite place in the world. Once I take a step forward in Disneyland, all my sadness, fatigue would immediately become happiness and smiles. This is truly where my dreams will come true.
