Description
Tokyo Disneyland is a theme park located in the eastern suburbs of Tokyo, it is designed in a similar fashion to Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California (though it is not owned by the same company but licenses the IP). Besides the traditional Disney-themed areas such as Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland, it has a section called World Bazaar and two mini-lands named Critter County and Toontown. Some of the best rides and attractions include Cinderella's Castle, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters.
Access & Transport
The resort complex is located in Urayasu (Chiba Prefecture), about 15km east of the centre of Tokyo. By public transport, it is served by Maihama station on the Keyo line that goes through Tokyo station (M, C, I) and Hatchōbori (H) In addition, the Disney Resort Line provides transportation between Maihama Station and major destinations within the Resort.

Instructions & Recommendations
Tickets are available for purchase 2 months in advance and some dates can get fully booked so we strongly suggest interested visitors to book well ahead of time
Environmental & Social
The operator (OLC) is a model of transparency with plenty of data points and a wide range of targets across environmental and social aspects. Info available here: http://www.olc.co.jp/en/sustainability.html This remains an energy intensive and wasteful operation but there are serious efforts to make it less so and it provides a large number of jobs in the region.
Conclusion
Go if you have not been to a Disney Park before or are a fan of theme parks - or don't mind queuing. If that is not you then there are better value attractions out there and certainly more culturally Japanese...
Key positive
A wide range of rides for different ages
Key negative
Long waiting lines
Expensive day out
Suitability
All ages welcome but best for families. Visitors with disabilities (mobility, visual, hearing) have access to special services but cannot enjoy all rides.
