Oh come all ye faithful, joyful with fat wallets. Oh come ye, to Mickeyland to sm￥le and to $pend.

Love it or hate it, you've gotta respect the way Chiba Disneyland rakes in the cash. Packed every day at 5000 yen a head, overpriced souvenirs flying off the shelves...damn.

I went to Disney Park on this May and I really enjoyed those two days I spent there which was celebrating 25th. anniversary. That was my second time to go there after 4 years. And I am 100% sure I will go there again as I get a chance to Japan.

It's all about the sense of priorities, you can always wait for next year's model Toyota or Playstation, but you can ever pass by Disneyland.

:) The allure of an escape to a theme park.

Tokyo Disneyland is ok, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! If you like crowds, waiting 5 hours in line to get to see Winnie the Pooh's honey hut, great! Me, I would rather go in the Cherry blossom season, no cherry trees at Tokyo Disneyland, hence no hoards of people to deal with great weather!

Disneyland is horrendous. Even on weekdays you end up queuing hours for anything half decent. You can even spend an hour waiting for turkey legs. If this place was in the UK there would be serious violence from people who pay a lot of money to enter, and then can do virtually nothing because of the queues. Even the fast track doesn't work after about 10:30am. Last time I went I could only get on one decent attraction in 3 hours, which was all I could stand. If that's how people want to spend their holidays, carry on. Probably better than eating o-sechi.

Went to Tokyo Disneyland a few years ago at Christmas. Despite crowds and so on, it was worthwhile and the shows were quite good. Atmosphere of fun is good adrenalin. Makes one forget of other stuff in every day routine. Have been also to both parks in U S. Still like the original in Anaheim the best.
