Tokyo Disneyland is the first Disneyland built outside of the US on the April 15, 1983, located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan. The park was constructed by Walt Disney Imagineering in the same style as Disneyland in California and the Magic Kingdom in Florida. It is owned by The Oriental Land Company, which licenses the theme from The Walt Disney Company. It, along with its companion park, Tokyo DisneySea, are the only Disney parks not owned by The Walt Disney Company.

There are seven themed areas, each complementing each other yet unique in their style. Made up of the World Bazaar, the four classic Disney lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, and two mini lands, Critter Country and Mickey’s Toontown, the park is noted for its huge open spaces to accommodate the massive crowds the park receives on even moderate attendance days – Tokyo Disneyland was, up until three years ago, the single most visited theme park in the world, and its sister Tokyo DisneySea was the second.

Tokyo Disneyland will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary on the year 2008! Be sure to try to get there and as a Disney traditions would have it, it’s going to be real spectacular. It is my dream to visit Disneyland really and I am not a kid anymore :( Oh well…who says, Disneyland is for kids only? :)

Tokyo Disneyland is accessible by car or JR Keiyo Line, Maihama Station. Entry is 5800 Yen (on Oct., 2006) for one park and 10000 Yen for 2 days (2 parks).

Here’s a little video clip on Disney Sea :)
