Disneyland!!!! What Disney resort spot comes to your mind first? Disneyland in the United States, right? Let me gift you a big surprise! Japan also has a very fantabulous Disneyland called Tokyo Disney Resort attracting all generations as the happiest place since 1983. No matter how tired and bored you feel almost every day, you’ll be happy and have a fantastic experience at Tokyo Disney Resort. Here’s my tour of Tokyo Disney Resort for you!
Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR) is an amusement resort located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan. Its theme parks are Tokyo Disneyland (TDL) and Tokyo DisneySea (TDS). TDL has seven theme lands and 40 attractions and entertainment based on each theme. On the other hand, TDS has seven theme ports and 28 attractions and conceals inspirational stories about the ocean. Inside and outside the parks, TDR has Disney hotels, official hotels, the commercial complex called Ikspiari, convenient monorails, making it possible for visitors to enjoy everything they do there.
Since childhood, I have been a HUGE fan of Tokyo Disney Resort. Annual family trips made me fall in love with that place!
Every element of TDR plays a crucial role in creating the happiest place and makes guests smile with happiness. You can enjoy innumerable awesome activities at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
First, I love the jaw-dropping attractions like roller coasters, theater rides, and experience-based rides that leave you so thrilled. Some attractions are unique to TDR like Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go seek! at TDL, Tower of Terror, Nemo & Friends SeaRider at TDS.
My favorite thing to do at TDR is riding attractions. When I was a little child, I couldn’t ride many attractions due to age or height restrictions. Now I enjoy it all. When you ride one of the most popular attractions after a long wait, you will feel a sense of accomplishment!
Next, I love and highly recommend the extraordinary shows and parades. The cherry on the cake is that you can enjoy delicious snacks during breaks or while watching the grand and colourful actors and stages. Encountering these shows or parades at different locations often change my unenthusiastic walks to an animated one.
The best part, without doubt, is the Disney Characters greeting you. You can meet, interact and create memories with them at parks, roads, castles, and sometimes so unexpectedly that you can’t help but feel like jumping for joy! I loved meeting Disney princesses when I was a child. They are pretty, kind, and thoughtful. That experience must make you feel as if you are in a fantasy or movie!
In addition to these points, you can enjoy shopping, eating food, and taking pictures throughout the parks. There are different designs of souvenirs at stores and you can purchase them as reminders. You also can taste various kinds of popcorn, sweets, and dishes. I usually gulp down a salami pizza when I take a rest at Mermaid Lagoon. But my recommendation is try the different food stalls to find your favourite snack. You’ll find your ways to maximize your happiness!

Tokyo Disney Resort is releasing its happiness and energy to today’s world. It is a place where people can enjoy dreams and non-reality. I am sure TDR will welcome you not only to the world of disney but also to the wonderful culture of Japan.
TDR has positively impacted my life through its creation of happiness. I would go there on weekends or during vacations after a big event like school exams. Planning to go there makes me motivated and energized. Real experiences at parks are always lifetime memories.
Social impacts of Tokyo Disney Resort are enormous. Its power of creating happiness can strengthen bonds between people. If you go there with your family or friends, you’ll experience fun events and openly share your feelings, making it possible to truly interact with them. Also, you can meet cheerful cast members (employees) and other guests. That might lead to new connections with people.
Furthermore, Tokyo Disney Resort psychologically affects us. Different elements there are creating positivity, evoking a sense of joy, interests, inspiration, and so on. Not only will you experience these positive emotions but also you will sustain them. You can change them into your energy to accomplish what you want to do on a daily basis.
I seriously love Disney and cannot write about it enough. For this article, I conclude that Tokyo Disney Resort is the most wonderful and happiest place. Though it has been impacted by the pandemic, cast members are working hard to welcome as many guests as they can. Their high-quality service and the cheerful atmosphere will never go away. Once the pandemic is over, you must go to Tokyo Disney Resort!!
