April 15, 1983 Its main entrance is right next to both Maihama Station and Tokyo Disneyland Station. It was the first Disney park to open outside of the United States, on April 15, 1983. WED Enterprises built the park in the same manner as the Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California. The company also constructed its EPCOT Center nearby.
Walt Disney Productions founded Japan's first Disney theme park, Disney Sea, which opened near Yokohama on May 10, 1993. The idea for the park came after Japanese consumers showed an interest in Walt Disney characters. Park-goers can enjoy rides based on Disney films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Toy Story.
Disneyland Park is a traditional Japanese town that features shops, restaurants, and hotels. The town is made up of three sections: New Town, which used to be rural; Central City, which contains the hub of activity; and Old Town, which has been preserved as a historic district. The town is split into four districts, each with its own police force and fire department.
Tokyo Disney Resort is located in Urayasu, Chiba prefecture. The park covers 80 hectares (198 acres) and features two Disney parks (one inside another), a hotel, shopping area, and other facilities. Opened in 1972, it is the largest of the five Disney parks in Asia.
With Disneyland's first success in the mid to late 1950s, Walt Disney set his sights on creating another theme park, this time on a far larger scale. Walt's vision became a reality on October 1st, 1971, when Disney World opened the gates to the Magic Kingdom after years of development.
Disney World features seven themed "lands" with several attractions and restaurants within each land. The lands are Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Main Street, Fantasy Land, Critter Country, and Discovery Island. There are also two water parks named Disney's Polynesian Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Both hotels feature Disney's trademark white stucco with blue trim architecture, and they were both built using the same design as 1960s-era Florida resorts.
Walt Disney started planning Disney World shortly after he got married in 1933. He drew up plans for an amusement park that would include rides, characters, and scenes from movies. After many changes, updates, and cancellations due to lack of funds, Disney World opened its doors in 1971. It took more than 10 years and $150 million to build Disney World, which is located in Orlando, Florida. The world-famous park includes rides and shows about Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy.
In addition to building Disney World, Walt Disney also created Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
Tokyo Disneyland first opened its doors on April 15, 1983, and is modeled after its sister parks in Anaheim, California, and Bay Lake, Florida. Tokyo DisneySea is the resort's second theme park to open. Tokyo DisneySea first opened its doors on September 4, 2001. The park's theme is nautical exploration, adventure, and many locations. There are also four "discovery zones" where guests can experience rides, shows, and activities that teach about Japanese culture.
Tokyo Disney Resort is located in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo. The resort is split between two areas: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
Disneyland has seven original attractions built before any other Disney theme park including Mickey's Toontown Fair, which opened in 1995. The newest addition to the lineup is Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest, which opened in June 2006.
Disneysea has three original rides plus one remake. The original version of Marvel Super Hero Island opened in 1992. It features characters from the Spider-Man film series. The latest addition to this area is Frozen Ever After, which opened in March 2012. This is a boat ride through an ice castle that features Elsa from Frozen.
There are also several restaurants at Tokyo Disney Resort, including character dining spots where you can meet characters from Disney movies and TV shows. Guests can also choose to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner served in their hotel rooms using room service.
July 17, 1955, Walt Disney's city of nostalgia, imagination, and futurism premiered on July 17, 1955. The $17 million amusement park in Anaheim, California, was developed on 160 acres of abandoned orange fields and quickly turned a profit. Within four months of its opening, it had more than a million guests.
Anaheim at the time was a small town with a population of only 68,000 people. It was not an easy place to find land to build on, so the city council voted to give Walt Disney permission to use some of the unused farmland in the area as long as he agreed to add to it. This way, people could visit his new park and see that it was going to be even better than San Diego's already popular Disneyland!
Walt Disney originally wanted to call his new park Magic Kingdom, but the mayor of Anaheim objected to this name being used by another community about 40 miles away. So he changed the name to Disneyland after the city itself.
Within just a few years, Disneyland became one of the most popular tourist attractions in America, if not the world. In 1957, it opened Main Street, U.S.A., a miniature town featuring shops, restaurants, and theaters where visitors could ride rides or watch movies. Then in 1959, it added Fantasy Land, which included pirates' ships, knights' castles, and dinosaurs.
On September 12, 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland opened its doors, creating Disney history as the first Disney theme park to open in China. The park, which was created on reclaimed ground near Penny's Bay, is divided into four sections: Main Street, United States of America, Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Tomorrowland. Each section features unique attractions that reflect Walt Disney's inspiration from American culture, music, movies, and society.
Walt Disney originally wanted to call the park "Disneyland in the Magic Kingdom", but the Chinese government would not allow this due to copyright issues with Walt Disney Company. Therefore, he decided to name it after his home town of Anaheim, California instead.
The land that now makes up Hong Kong Disneyland used to be part of Stanley Harbor, until it was taken over by Toy Factory during the 1950s. The area was then developed into a factory outlet center called "New Town". In 2003, with the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, New Town changed its name to Lantau Island. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island.
Upon its opening, Hong Kong Disneyland attracted large crowds daily. It became so popular that it had trouble keeping up with demand, and today, it averages around 10,000 guests per day.
Hong Kong Disneyland has received many awards for its architecture and entertainment. It was named one of the best parks in the world by TripAdvisor in 2014 and 2015.
