Tokyo Disney Resort – Tokyo Club 33

Posted on
Today’s blog is going to be all about Jack. I experienced something wonderful and I simply must brag about it. Please excuse my self-indulgence. But as is typical of me, first I must give you some background. When Walt became involved with the New York World’s Fair, he discovered that many of the corporate sponsors, … Continue reading "Tokyo Disney Resort – Tokyo Club 33"

Tokyo Disney Resort – Duffy and Sinbad

Hi everyone. I just got back from a two week vacation. Before I left, I arranged for several blogs to be published in my absence.

I saved the best port-of-call for last – at least in my humble opinion. For me, Mysterious Island is the most imaginative port/land Disney has ever created. This is the home of Jules Verne and Captain Nemo. Iron girders studded with rivets perched precariously on jagged cliffs give this port an ominous feel. Limited access … Continue reading "Mysterious Island – Tokyo DisneySea"

Tokyo DisneySea – Port Discovery

Posted on
It’s difficult to describe Port Discovery. I’ve heard it called the “Tomorrowland” of DisneySea and the “Marina of the Future.” Either way, it weaves science and fantasy into an intriguing mix. The storyline for Port Discovery is that it’s home to the “Center for Weather Control.” Here, new experiments to manipulate the climate are always … Continue reading "Tokyo DisneySea – Port Discovery"
