DIsneyland Tokyo Lesson 2

1 have few opinion points to highlight regarding Disneyland Tokyo:

1. The ticket for an adult is 5,800yen ( its call a one day passport) - choose the day of your trip carefully, one a wrong day, the passport might be a waste.

2. The whole park is kinda old fashion. especially the characters and the parks. 1 expected better actually. They have old characters and cartoons but not the updated ones. I was expecting to see more recent characters.. tapi its more of the 80s and 90s cartoons.

3. The worst part was the show with the scientist who shrunk his kids and then blew u his baby Adam. the things was so old..the 3D animation was so-so but the movie itself was ANCIENT! and if you are late, ur cant seat on the 2nd last row of in the theater where they provide English translation on the headset because its packed all the time. they should provide more rows.

4. However, the night shows were superb except for the fact that the Disney staff keep shoo-ing you off. One say that you should stand here, and after 5-10 minutes another one comes to say that u cant be there and shoo u off again? what in the world?

5. I dont know if its because of the summer heat, but u dont bump into many characters like Mickey of Minney or Donald. i saw Goofy twice then the dwarfs, though. too bad. i think they shud have more characters roaming around.

Ijoudesu.
