DisneySea Changed Theme Parks Forever.

- Tokyo DisneySea is without a doubt the pinnacle of theme park design and the fact that it exists at all is a miracle, with us almost getting a lacklustre studio theme park instead of the meticulously designed seven-seas masterpiece.

![[LIVE] ย้อนวันวานกับนางเอกยุค 90's #คุยให้เด็กมันฟัง EP.42 (8/6/67)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MslQDdFwULE/mqdefault.jpg)
I am simply blown away by what the Oriental Land Co. is doing with Tokyo DisneySea and the Tokyo Disney Resort as a whole. They give the fans what they want while still introducing new rides, resort, hotels and attractions that feel like a natural and fitting addition to the existing parks. It also truly shows what Disney Imagineering can do without the constraints of a budget and when imagineers are not required to limit their imagination to IP' based rides.
Or don't have a miserable cheap ass like Chapek constantly looming over them like the specter of death
Sorry but Tokyo Disney seems like a piece of garbage especially Disney sea because Disney is about fiction and having Italy boats based off real life in a Disney park? Not for me
13:10 "makes Epcot look like Six Flags" LOL, couldn't agree more!
Having just visited the US and Epcot, I couldn't agree more - Epcot is a DUMP now compared to what it was.
For me Tokyo Disney Resort is the purest Disney Park experience. The food is both sensational and fantastical, the merchandise is great, the cast members are amazing, maintenance is top notch. It truly is a magical place
Love love love Disney Sea! I grew up in Florida and spent many years visiting Disney World and Epcot was my favorite park for decades. Once I moved to Japan and visited Disney Sea, I was blown away! I didn't think anything would be better than Epcot, but I was so surprised... it felt like I was rediscovering the Disney magic for the first time again! If you ever get the chance to go out there, fellow commenters, it is 100% worth it!
Because you got to experience a world not dominated by corporate committee think
Hello, I will be in Japan for the first time next month. I have one evening, one full day, and one 3/4 day to spare. Would you recommend the following itinerary to someone who has been to Disneyland in Anaheim numerous times? Day 1: Tokyo Disney (5-9pm) Day 2: Disney Sea (9am-9pm) Day 3: Tokyo Disney (9am-5pm). Or should I dedicate more time to Disney Sea?
@@gnoslorac All of Disneyland, for the most part, is very similar w/ their attractions. I would recommend spending more time at Disney Sea.
Yes. I was in Toyko Disney Resort in 2017 and damn DisneySea is on another level. It's truly perfect. I'm looking forward to visit this place again in some years. It's just unbelievable and no Video or Picture can really capture the Scale and Beauty of this Park🥰
I live in Japan so I tend to go to Disney at least a couple times a year (pre pandemic)
Every time I go to TDS I find something I haven’t seen before. It’s astounding. Can’t wait for the expansion!!!
I went in 2019. I was awestruck. I still think about how beautiful this park is, truly the best of the Disney parks.
I also think about the cold noodles I had for dinner. Man, so delicious after a hot humid day! Yum!
I’ve been blessed enough to visit all 12 global Disney parks, and Disney Sea is my favorite… so I agree with you it was fantastic! Can’t wait to take my kids one day!
Was first at TDS in 2019 and was absolutely blown away. Growing up going to and working at WDW I was so excited to visit Tokyo and it didn’t disappoint. Just went a week ago and even the terrible heat and humidity didn’t ruin how amazing it was.
Ive been twice, and one was during a typhoon. Even then they made the park experience amazing. The service is the best, and the theming is amazing. Food is a bit meh but its hard to find good theme park food anywhere these days. Cant wait to go back when the new expansion opens.
Actually most of the fast food is average but if you can, next time try to get reservations to either Magellan's or SS Columbia. Both are some of the best Disney restaurants (and surprisingly affordable compared to American parks).
@@MrJpanese I tried Magellans and was not impressed. SS Columbia was good, probably some of the best on property, but still not on par with Disneylands Napa Rose or Carthay Circle.
I love to hear more about your TDR experience.
When did you stay there? How many nights did you stay there? What hotels did you stay at night?
What are your favorite rides there, what are your favorite things to do there?
How are their parks different than the ones in California and Florida?
I love to hear more details!
Totally agree about the food. The snacks are pretty good though! The flavored popcorn and popcorn buckets Te the best! But actual food, food is meh.
@@MM-lk1cz Some of the popcorn flavors are outstanding. They know how to do snacks there.
Grew up loving Epcot in Orlando. Fell in love immediately with Tokyo DisneySea first time I came back in ‘04 (fun fact, Orlando, and Shin Urayasu ( the city in which TDL is located) are sister cities).
I told all of my friends how great the park was when I went back to the states.
I would often visit whenever I would come visit Japan as a kid/ teen.
Ironically, I don’t get to go as often as I’d like now that I live at the same station as DisneySea, Maihama.
So glad they didn’t go with the studios theme.
Another thing that adds to the overall experience IMO is also the Japanese tendency towards wearing “actual clothes” to theme parks. Especially Disney.
Japanese culture already has a notion of always trying to present your best out in public, but being around people who you can tell put thought into their outfits whether it’s dressing in similar outfits as their friends, or just dressing in non athleisure wear, the fashion of the guests adds to it. I didn’t notice this until I went back to Disney World in America and saw how Americans dress in comparison.
Well spotted! As a Japanese, I'd never realised that until one of my American friends pointed out. Japanese guests would often dress up to go to TDL, whereas American guests tend to choose their "holiday clothing" such as T-shirt and shorts.
Also the Japanese aren't morbidly obese
Lucky you live in Maihama!! I heard you can get a discount or something??
@@faith9338 not since covid. I think that was in relation to buying annual passes, but annual passes haven’t been sold since the pandemic
I am not American, but I would not want to wear anything but a tank top and shorts in Florida weather: people can judge all they want. Even a Japanese summer is absolutely nothing compared to the heat and humidity of Orlando in August.
Gelatoni at the end made my heart melt!!
If there's one international park I want to go to, it's here. Just fantastic seeing the vids of it and would love to experience it. Also notable on the Imagineering doc series, they talk on how in 2000s, U.S. Imagineers would grouse on how "The Disney Sea guys get all the budget they want." The more things change....
Such a wonderful park! I live in Tokyo and visit Disney Sea at least once a year. It is absolutely stellar. Even their version of Soaring is MUCH better than the American versions with a wonderful theme and backstory. I am curious about the new expansion that will add Peter Pan, Tangled and Frozen. I hope it's not another Epcot situation where the park eventually loses its vision due to shoehorned movie IPs.
In a perfect world, Tokyo DisneySea, and the originally conceived complete versions of Disneyland Paris and Disney's Animal Kingdom are three parks in the greatest Disney resort ever.
I've been to Disney SEA 5 years ago. It is as you say the best. Thank you for the great video. There are a couple of things that I noticed make the Japanese visitors really happy: Big Band Beat musical show and SS Columbia a full size ship filled with bars and restaurants and amazing views of Tokyo bay. -Frank
I have travelled to Japan 10 times since 2015. Every time I visit these parks. They are truly amazing.
This was such a great park. Can't wait to go back and see the additions they've done to the 2 gates!
This park is already a masterpiece. I can't even begin to imagine how epic it'll be after this new upcoming expansion!!!!!
Man, you guys kill it every single time. Keep up the great work on your videos about the history of parks.
It's sad that Disney could run their own parks this well, but won't
Very sad. Disney showed the potential of theme park creativity and innovation, then seemed to drop the ball.
This is the reason why I'm saving up for Japan trip instead of going to Disneyland that's 10 miles away.
So, have Oriental Land Company take over the US parks? I mean, it wouldn't be bad, but, Disneyland is a legacy park.
Cheap bastards.
the first time I visited disneysea, I didn't really research much about it. all I know: run straight to get lottery ticket for disney big band beat (didn't win it), then to tower of terror and then to journey to the center of the earth (which unfortunately closed)
when I entered the gate? the reveal took my breath away, I couldn't believe what I saw. is that a mountain!? I fell in love with this theme park straight away.
I went to japan twice, and went to disneysea both times! didn't even consider of going to tokyo disneyland. I will do disneysea and disneyland the next time I visit japan
The food we had at TDR was quite good, On the first day, we had lunch on the oceanliner, dinner in the MircaCosta buffet. Second day lunch was at the Queen of Hearts dining hall, this was the least good meal we had at the resort, but still not bad. Dinner at Crystal Palace and on the last day lunch at Yuccatan canteen (?) with delicious freshly made tortillas and dinner at the fortress which was also very good. We were lucky to dine in the hidden wine cellar, accessible through a secret door. Reminded me a bit of the Skipper Canteen, unfortunately, there they took away the secret door.
On the last day, we went to the pool of Hotel MiraCosta in the morning, where you have to pay an admission fee. The pool is very nicely decorated and has a gorgeous venetian style garden. Funny thing was, while I was walking around the garden I turned a corner and was basically standing opposite the line for the venetian gondola ride, with hundreds of japanese tourists across the canal staring at me only wearing my swimming trunks. :-)
Favourite park!! I wasn’t able to get on too many rides with it being extremely busy, but like you say, it’s nice enough just to walk around all day!
I’d love to see Disneyland Paris Resort expand even more like this
Tokyo 2023....please open........PLEASE!!!!
Great vid as always. 🙌🏼
Tokyo DisneySea has always fascinated me and has been sitting at the top of my theme park bucket list ever since I first heard of it. The theming seems beyond incredible, and I love parks that you can just get lost in.
LOVE THIS THEME PARK🥰 AND THEIR DISNEYLAND. It blew my mind the first time I went. I remember being on the monorail and my eyes got glossy. It was a dream to go this park and it surpassed every expectation that I had. I can never look at other Disneylands or Disney theme parks the same way. They just do it better and care about what they put out. I'm so excited to go back and looking forward to the new expansion .
This park is on my bucket list. Just like with Magic Kingdom, I know I'll cry as soon as I step on the property because I'm so happy
I sincerely hope that you make it to the Tokyo Disneyland Resort and see DisneySea some day! It is an amazing park that must be experienced to be believed. (Tokyo Disneyland is great too.)
I know exactly how you feel about crying too. I always experience a tingling sensation on the back of my neck when I experience extreme happiness. I have felt it a few times when I visited various theme parks. I felt it when I walked down Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom and saw Cinderella Castle for the first time. I also felt it when I walked under the glass roof of World Bazaar at Tokyo Disneyland for the first time. The most recent time that I felt that tingle was when I went to DisneySea for the first time and I walked through Aquasphere Plaza right after the park opened in the early morning. My neck tingled even more when I proceeded to walk under/through Miracosta and saw the grand reveal of Mediterranean Harbor with Mount Prometheus in the background. It was stunning...absolutely stunning!
I have been to DisneySea two more times since that first visit back in 2016 and that entrance walk into the park never ever fails to make my jaw drop. It is the best entrance to any theme/amusement park that I have been to so far. Don't get me wrong because I will always love the entrance to Disneyland because it was the park that I grew up going to and thus it is responsible for me being a big theme/amusement park fan throughout my life, but DisneySea takes grand entrances to another level.
Fascinating. Can't wait to go.
I loved this historical review of what is my home resort and my favorite park. I was there opening day and have been hundreds of time since…. Though that has slowed down the last three years with no APs 😢 Already been twice in 2023 and will be back in five days. It’s a park to take time to see, even 21 years later I discover something new each time.
Those clips of Eisner in Japan will never not feel like a surreal look into an alternate universe to me.
Especially when you consider that the opening day (Tuesday September 4th, 2001) was EXACTLY one week before 9/11.
Great information...thank you...I love Tokyo Disney Seas overall concept and archetypal merit!❤👍🤩😇
I've visited TDR twice, both times we stayed 2 nights at Hotel Miracosta, which was extremely expensive, but so beautiful. Had great park view rooms both times. At the time, when you bought 3 Day tickets, you had to choose which 1 park for the first day, then the other for the second day. On the 3rd day, you could go to either park and also do hopping. But we always did TDS on day 1, doing all the rides, then Disneyland park the second day and on the 3rd went back to TDS, not riding any rides but just walking around the park and admiring all the little, hidden details. Really want to go back.
As a Disney cast member before I love Tokyo DisneySea a lot! I wish I can go back and visit again!
This is my number one dream park! I can’t wait to visit it one day… 💕
Really enjoy your video! Have you ever considered making a video about How OLC make the Disney Bear into Duffy and then became huge success? I think it would be interesting!
It really is the best Disney Park, I'm so glad I got to experience it and hope to visit again within the next year or two.
Really? I wouldn’t even class it as a Disney park it’s not Disney:/
I went a few years ago and I can’t wait to go back. Definitely the best theme park I’ve been to anywhere. We went during the Halloween villain season and spent one of our three days doing a good tour. There’s a lot of great themed food.
Visited Tokyo Disney Sea in 2019. It has since become my “Happy Place”. My favorite ride is Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage. I can’t wait for the chance to go back.
Thank you for another great video, Y’all. Tokyo Disney Sea videos are my favorite. I’ve been to the TDR 4 times , twice during the 35th anniversary celebrations, and have loved it more and more every single time.
7:15 Duffy is a cute Disney bear.
I hope to get there in the next year or so to be able to experience this incredible park myself. Thanks for another review of the park
I went in December 2017 and it was indeed, by far, the best Disney theme park.
Great video! I love what they did with Tower of Terror at Disney Sea tying it in with the S.E.A. story that you can also find with Hong Kong's Mystic Manor (another fantastic ride). I agree you can totally spend a day just walking around Disney Sea exploring. The level of detail and theming is unlike any other park I've been to. Will definitely go back when the new lands open.
While what Jim Cora said may have be technically true, it is not possible to refute that Disney Sea borrowed a lot from Port Disney. I mean come on! The imagineers were surely aware of each other’s design concept. So much design and research were done, there is no way that Disney Execs didn’t expressly insist imagineers to at least take some basis or design between the artwork and planning prepared for both the canceled port Orleans and WESTCOT! But whatever! It is a stunning park to visit!
And for shame Long Beach. It would have revised and enhanced a really beautiful , vibrant city that is really undervalued! Disney would have changed all that. The airport would increase. City beautification projects could have been made. Good jobs and increase home values! They really “missed the boat” on that one!
Absolute bucket list item for me
After Disneyland in California, Tokyo DisneySEA is my favorite Disney Park in the world! It feels utterly unique but absolutely with the magic of being transported into a new and fantastical world! It’s a beautiful park down to the walkways! Compass of Your Heart for Sinbad is iconic! And I have never been more fascinated by simple walls than in the Mermaid Lagoon! I’ll be making a beeline for the park when Japan reopens to tourists!
I haven’t been to any other Disney parks except the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World (Of course this one was when I was little), but I would like to see other Disney parks around the world. So, I can know what to expect and what not to expect.
Its even more magic and wonderful than you describe. I cannot wait to get back.
I’ve been so fortunate enough to have been twice (2008 and 2017) and it’s everything an more. Videos are nice, but nothing compares to the in person park experience.
Ps. You should do a video in the TDS live shows and entertainment. Don’t forget the original Little Mermaid Show!
Can’t wait to watch this, you should just become a straight up Disney sea channel 😂I wouldn’t mind!
Sigh..one day. Great video!
I need to go! I don’t think the government will allow outsiders to go to Disneyland Tokyo yet.
I went in 2011 or 2012. I had one of the few journey to the center of the earth videos on youtube for a short while. For some reason I deleted that channel.
I was only 15 but it was a magical park. My whole family agreed disney sea is the best disney park that we have been to (haven't been to shanghai or hong kong, but have been to the rest). Disneyland Anaheim will always be the best because of it's mostly intack originality, but Disney Sea is the best THEME park. The themeing is outstandingly insane. Above typical disney standards with very few exceptions. And like he said "just walking around is enjoyable", he is right. Like obviously, ride the rides, but we had 4 days at both parks (park hoppers), and the last day was mostly disney sea and us just walking around soaking it in for a few hours before going crazy riding rides, to then just enjoy walking at night til close. Out of all the parks I've been to, I want to go back to this one more than any other. If you dislike disney parks, you will probably still enjoy this park, at least more than the other disney parks.
No park is a 10/10 like this one was, and seems still is. Biggest gripe seems to be slow expansion, and the new expansion "disney-fying" it too much. Disney sea feels like disney without it being all up in your face about it. I love disney parks, but this one is magical too for NOT being typical disney. Expansion needs to be handled with care or it could tarnish it
Bonus:
Journey is the best test track,
Paris has best bigthundermountain,
Orlando has best tower of terror,
Disneyland has best pirates
For the 2 times I've been to Japan, spending a day at Tokyo Disney Sea is always part of my travel itinerary. This theme park is just a feast for all your senses!
DCA 1.0, WDSP, & DisneySea back-to-back-to-back....YEESH. If that ain't widest range of developments from one company you've ever seen 😂😂
I know exactly what you mean. The first time that I went to DisneySea I could not help but think "Japan got this and we got that?!!!" as I walked through the park with my eyes wide open. (I am from California and I am a life-long Disneyland fan.)
10:32 I've Been To Tokyo Disneyland Resort's Tokyo DisneySea Theme Park In Tokyo Japan Back In April 2018 And Met Some Of Those Cast And Crew Teams From Disney's The Little Mermaid And Disney's The Lion King And It Was Super Awesome. Thanks Mate. X
I’ve gone three times and you are not kidding when you say this is the best theme park! I can’t wait to go back now that Cookie and Linabell is there.
we want to go, it looks so awesome!!!
I can not wait to visit for the holidays 🎄
Incredible!!
"You make it and we'll make it better" Ive been to Japan 7 times and I have to agree that is the perfect slogan for the country.
Manifesting that they get a cool coaster one day 🙏 I know that everyone says this is the greatest theme park, but I think that an awesome coaster would get me to pull the trigger on going to DisneySea.
My thought on TDS: same as you, best theme park in the world. I have visited it once and all I dream is to come back there and spend several days in it to explore more. I am just waiting for the new fantasy springs extension to go back because japan is far from where I live and expensive. Btw i live in France and when I see videos on TDS and think of what we get as the second gate, I am crying inside ^^. We got the best castle park though, too bad that the European were not ready for it ^^
Wow, that review was amazing.
I have been, it is just amazing!!
went the year it opened, as a second day after tokyo disneyland. after a day of just an ovewhelming amount of disney, this was great. it doesn't have an amusement park atmosphere at all, making it so much more relaxing.
I am hoping Epic Universe, Universal's third park in Orlando, draws some inspiration from this park. No rumors yet, but it is now very likely that Universal is making their version of Shanghai Disney's incredible Pirates ride in the form of the Creature from the Black Lagoon in Universal Classic Monsters world. That seems like the coolest ride at Shanghai Disney & will be huge in Florida, where are Pirates ride (and overall dark water rides) aren't near as good as the Asian counterparts. I am hoping they can find some ideas from DisneySea for some attractions or even the lands themselves.
It is truly a masterpiece of immersion, and a showcase of the capabilities of the Japanese people! If ONLY they could bring this thrilling life to the American parks. Disneyland and World have wonderful nostalgia, but seemed handcuffed to that nostalgia and change and innovation is not coming as easy to those parks.
i am SO excited for the frozen land oh my goodness.
I really want to visit but it sounds like it’s 10k minimum before you’d have a really great time there
Bucket list
Thank you so much for this great video. I loved every minute of it!
I have visited the Tokyo Disneyland Resort on three separate vacations so far. I was planning to visit it even more but the blasted covid-19 pandemic delayed my vacation plans unfortunately. I loved Tokyo Disneyland but DisneySea completely blew me away every time that I visited it.
I was watching DisneySea's progress from afar (I'm in California) since it was first announced and I was so afraid that my overhyped expectations would set me up for epic disappointment when I first visited the park in 2016. My lofty expectations not only were met, they were completely blown out of the water! Just when I started to lose faith in The Walt Disney Company being able to create a theme park where high quality for the guests is the most important factor, I found out that that concept is still alive and well at a Disney theme park...I just had to go all the way to Japan to experience it.
My suggestion is that if you are a Disney theme park fan you must, must, absolutely MUST visit DisneySea. There is no other Disney theme park like it. This video does a fantastic job of showing how incredible DisneySea is but to be totally honest, no video can do justice to the quality of DisneySea and the park simply must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. I will warn you that once you go there, your expectations for any other Disney theme park will be set a bit higher and you will notice how the other parks are just not quite up to your new higher standard. (Note that I cannot comment on how this "increased standard" effects Disneyland Paris or Walt Disney Studios because, unfortunately, I have not been to the parks in France yet. Hopefully I will be going to them soon though.)
I just wish that the heads of the US Disney theme parks would go to DisneySea and take notes on how to successfully manage a theme park in a way that does not alienate (or flat-out upset) your most loyal guests. It seems that the US parks go out of their way to purposely not borrow ideas from the Japanese parks and that is a shame. In my opinion a good idea is a good idea, no matter where it originally came from. This is just my 100% pure speculation since I do not work for The Walt Disney Company in any way, thank goodness, but I suspect that the guys in charge at the US parks do not borrow from Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea because they feel that the two Japanese parks are inferior because they are not "The Original" or "The Biggest." That arrogance is a shame for the most important people in the equation...the guests. As I said, that is just my pure speculation though and I really do not have any idea why the US parks continually ignore the Japanese ones.
I did not know that the second gate park for The Tokyo Disneyland Resort was going to be yet another Hollywood movie studio type park like Disney-MGM Studios. Movie studio type theme parks were absolutely revolutionary and changed the theme park landscape...back in 1964 when Universal Studios first opened to the public in Southern California. The concept had become so tiresome and overdone by the time it was suggested to OLC. Thank goodness the guys at OLC turned that old and stale idea down! The Walt Disney Company did not follow OLC's lead when it became their time to develop a second gate park next to Disneyland Paris. (I will save my opinions about Walt Disney Studios for after I visit it for the first time.)
Thank you again for the excellent video. It will have to keep my appetite for DisneySea under control until I can finally visit the park again.
Visited, really enjoyed it but they stopped the ride and told me off for having my umbrella up on Aquatopia cos it was raining!
3 years to construct this? Pathetic how Tron at WDW is taking 6 years
Man Disneysea is one of the best parks in in the world but I love USF, USJ, and EPCOT.
14:15 Some of Mermaid Lagoon is outdoors. Like the coaster
So Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disneysea are 2 different parks?
Yes, like Disneyland and California Adventure in Anaheim.
Ah that makes sense! So is Tokyo Disneyland not as popular as DisneySea?
yes, very much so... and you get to each one via the monorail.
@@monicaenglish2566 Technically Tokyo Disneyland has higher attendance than DisneySea. Kids and families prefer the former, teens and young adults prefer the latter.
Disney Sea is the best theme park I have ever been to. I really want to visit Disneyland Paris and Efteling because from what I have seen they may be as good.
We went in the summer 2018 and they had maintenance rotations and two rising I really wanted to go on were closed. We were going back in Spring 2020 but 😷.
OLC should take over the American parks. They can start with Disneyland Tomorrowland.
That would be great, wouldn't it? The suits and ties in Burbank would never allow that to happen, unfortunately, because they do not care about quality like OLC does.
I think that if OLC owned the American Disney theme parks, I would hope for a few small (easy?) changes at first. I would hope that they would first completely cancel Tiana's Bayou Adventure and leave the two Splash Mountains like they are. Then I would hope that they would bring back the original bride figures to the two Haunted Mansions. The original voiceless and super creepy bride is still in the Tokyo Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.
I feel like an avatar land would be a slam dunk here especially with the new movie being water based
I think the CEOs from the parks in the states need to go to Tokyo Disney sea because since galaxy's edge I have not really been impressed with anything except maybe guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind but even that could of been better
do you think there will be a third gate?
not anytime soon, first off Fantasy Springs (peter pan, frozen and tangled expansion) is set to open next year... they have to recoup that investment,
then a major part of Tomorrow land is being rethemed to make way for the new Space Mountain which is set to open in 2027... on top of all this they don't have much land to build on.
@@IkePaz oh yea totally forgot about fantasy springs
The expansion space that was big enough for a third park, ended up being used for the fantasy springs expansion and the new fantasyland expansion for TDL
Tokyo disneyland will do their 20th anniversary grand finale soon.!!! I sure liked that place.!!
What's worse, Disney Studios Paris or Disney California Adventure?
Disney Studios Paris. It’s the worst Disney Park I’ve been to and that is not an exaggeration.
@@nerdgurl402 How? I been to Disney studios 5 times and I absolutely loved it and it’s the theme park that got me into theme parks
@@nerdgurl402universally agreed as the worst Disney park , its a dire state
That kid in that commercial sounded like hi my name is Spencer and I am dying ( instead of I am 9)
Sounds like Tokyo DisneySea's future is kind of bleak because part of its draw is that it's a Disney park that doesn't prominently feature Disney characters. After that expansion, they will begin to dominate.
You guys should have used background music from DisneySea for this video instead of Tokyo Disneyland music.
Disney underestimated Japan and oriental land. They thought it’s not gonna be profitable so Disney only allowed Oriental land to be franchised instead of running it. The result? Oriental land became one of the major successful company in Japan.
Cue Ball cat 1950
I have mixed feelings about Fantasy Springs, if only because it doesn't really continue to water theme (and the waterway wasn't routed into it) and seems more like an IP grab, which is what Disney has been doing everywhere else. DisneySea has weathered the (I assume required) increased inclusion of IP pretty decently, but Fantasy Springs is just a strange Fantasyland add-on that they decided to tack onto the park.
My Asian Soulmate (Maya) Work There For The 35th Anniversary Celebration.
Thanks for telling us her name, wasn’t sure until you wrote that
So is Japan the Apple of Theme Park Countries?
The Castaway 1931
What happened to your upload 3 days ago?
Screw anything disney. That corporation is a plague on society
The nice thing about the Tokyo parks is that they're run by another Japanese company on a license from Disney, which means that other company has much more say in how the parks operate. Given the disastrous trends the current executives are pushing in the other parks, it's nice to see this resort look at all that and go "...Let's _not_ do that."
I just like to believe that they gave the park designers a mountain of cocaine and told them to go nuts on the design
I went to the grand opening of DisneySea with virtually no planning. I bought my airline ticket rather last minute, and stayed at a "backpackers" hotel because my budget was pretty small. I did not even know if I would be able to get into the park, having had heard rumors that it was sold out. After queuing up early and after going through the gate, standing in Aquasphere Plaza, I cried.
I stayed in Tokyo a week, spending four days at DisneySea and Disneyland (I had visited TDL previously for its 10th anniversary). Is it the best theme park in the world? There is certainly an argument to be made. I would say that when I went to the grand opening of Disneyland Paris (then known as EuroDisney), it had the same level of attention to detail as TDS later got. But of course "best" is more than about the imagineering.
On my flight home, I met a Japanese couple who was on their way to WDW, and always wonder what happened to them, as the 9/11 attack occurred during their trip.
Yep - TDS opened EXACTLY one week before 9/11.
I thought Sorin was a repplacement, must've been a walk through or something
It was a new addition
Soarin was built into an area called the Roman Ruins and backstage. It didn't replace any onstage facilities or attractions.
