I think the Mickey Mouse Review is still at TDL
It was, it closed earlier this year and is being replaced with Mickey's Philharmagic.

I'm for either Horizons or Journey into Imagination. Can't go wrong with EPCOT Cetner from the early 90's.

Anyone seen or heard what the Cinderella Attraction will be? A dark ride along the lines of Snow White or Pinocchio's Daring Journey from DL would at least make that 'attraction' somewhat unique to the MK. Too much Dumbo with a second identical ride next to it? Not hardly. I imagine there'll still b...

I've seen the other pirates roaming around NO Square like before the Island transformation. Lafitte's Landing on Tom Sawyer's Island is deader than disco. No telling how long they're going to last.

The Tiki Room pre-show and Jungle Cruise are good bets at night. Seeing one of the Mk VII's rolling down the rail around Tomorrowland is also very neat.

I may be mixing my memories up between WDW and DL so could someone help me, does the Mark Twain run after dark?

My brother and I went on this three times over the Labor Day holiday weekend, never had to wait more than 35 minutes any of the times. He's a video game freak and really enjoyed it. And we both got a great arm workouts as well!

The parks at Tokyo are very accepting of foreign tourists who don't speak the language (if you can learn a few simple phrases it would be helpful). All of the signage is in both Japanese and English and all of the foods cashiers have cards with pictures of the various items. Listening to Mickey or t...

I've heard that there can be up to an hour wait just to grab FastPasses for this ride. Is that true? On busier days (i.e. weekends, holidays) yes. Another one of my favorites was the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster return time. One day I got in at around 11:30 AM. The FastPass return time was between ...

Like I've said in previous posts in other threads, Tokyo Disney Resort is one of those places you have to see yourself to truly experience it. The parks are in perfect maintenance. They get there because management is willing to take a major attraction offline for a long enough period at any time du...

I've only gotten 200,000 once. It ususally takes me too long to get my blaster "sighted in" to get any of the sweet targets.

For me it's Frontierland. If you're having a long day just sit and watch the Mark Twain or Columbia glide along the Rivers of America. Or, of course, take in a show at the Golden Horseshoe.

The Disneyland Hotel is awesome. Not too far from the Monorail, or if you haven't/won't get enough walking in around the parks you can take a stroll to or from the entrance plaza watching everyone else rush to the trams to get their cars.

I've been to four of the five resorts. TDR is probably the best overall themed. HKDL was, well to put it bluntly, lacking. It has all of the markings for a great park and Hong Kong itself is a great place to go but I guess that will come with time. DL in CA was impressive (my first time was only a c...

The background for the ride is just as good as the original TZ idea at WDW. There's even a bit of a joke in the entrance foyer, Mr. Hightower is standing at the "Raging Spirits" (the roller coaster in the Lost River Delta port) location with another one of his ill-gotten items. It opens up...

After having been to 9 of the 11 theme parks around the world, Tokyo DisneySea should be on everyone's "Place to go before I die" list it is just that good. I love the original DL, WDW is my true home, but I can't get enough of TDS and how well the entire Tokyo resort is done. :mickey:

I'm currently stationed here in Japan and I can tell you that the only way to see the Tokyo Disney Resort parks is when it's snowing or raining. Sure some of the shows get cancelled but the lack of ususal Tokyo crowds makes up for it. That and during the summer it's as hot as Florida with less shade...
