Possible visit to Tokyo (Disney included, of course)

**WishUponAStar** · 02-11-2006

There is NOTHING definate yet but talks on a possible trip to Japan is being thrown around for Spring Break '07.

DH & I would just be going for a week and only staying in and around Tokyo, since we'd be first timers. Of course I want to see Mt. Fuji, and all the other amazing tourists musts but naturally we WILL HAVE TO check out Tokyo Disney and MOST IMPORTANTLY the park I am OBSESSED with; DisneySea.

Anyway, if anyone has ANY suggestions on guide books, web resources, information, etc. that we could start purusing for Tokyo I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Our biggest concern would be finding a "European Style" hotel (I am NOT sleeping in pods or drawers people

, I DO WATCH the Travel channel, haha) in Tokyo for an "affordable" price.

We'll see, keep your fingers crossed.

Of course, this WOULD most likely mean no WDW in '07 but I think this would be TOTALLY worth it

Only one of the coolest, most intruiging, interesting, odd, and curious DISNEY PARKS EVER!!!!

You HAVE TO check out some of the attractions!!!

Whacky, I WANT TO GO!!! hehe

**llama** · 02-12-2006

Well, sonofagun! Who knew? And this was built - when?

Hey - why does Tokyo get TWO Disney parks?

chastmastr · 02-13-2006

Same reason DL has California Adventure, I suspect -- because if people can see the exact same thing over at WDW then they will be less likely to go to Tokyo or DL.

I would LOVE to go to Japan, Tokyo, and/or Tokyo Disney/DisneySea.

Oh, and if anyone has seen Cardcaptor Sakura, I'm fairly sure the Tokyo theme park the characters visit at one point is meant to be Tokyo Disney.

are you saying that Mickey will be dressed in elegant dresses and able to fly around with little stuffed yellow bear thing that comes to life? Yeah i knew it. I wonder how much Pocky they consume there.

*blink*blink*

OMG! A FELLOW CCS FAN!!

Or, as Kero would say (with an Osakan accent, of course) "KO-NO-NO-NI-CHI-WAAAA!!!"

Minnie does kind of have that Tomoyo vibe going...

Well, no, she doesn't quite.

PockyMuncher · 05-08-2006

hahaha. I used to watch it on Cartoon Network when i was younger. Personally i'm a fan of Trigun and Cowboy Bebop.

chastmastr · 05-09-2006

OH! Then I heartily recommend the subtitled and non-edited version -- it's VERY good and the US release as "Cardcaptors" is really not the same show. The characters' personalities are almost wholly different, due to cutting and pasting scenes, dubbing in dialogue very different from the Japanese series, and changing everyone's personality to make them more marketable to US audiences. I've never seen Trigun, but Cowboy Bebop is one of very few which has been brought over in a good dubbed version.

You would know Tomoyo as "Madison" except she's one of the characters who has been changed the most. It's a loooonnnng story.
