The Story of Beacon Joe By Jim Korkis Which original Disney character appears in three different attractions at Walt Disney World and was originally created for Disneyland?

Tokyo Disney Resort: Beyond the Theme Parks!
Posted onBy Jenny Lynne Guest Blogger During my recent 14-day trip to Japan, after I spent an amazing day at Tokyo DisneySea and another incredible day at Tokyo Disneyland, I felt like I was missing something. I had packed in two full days at the theme parks, leaving no time to explore the rest of Tokyo … Continue reading "Tokyo Disney Resort: Beyond the Theme Parks!"
Tokyo Disney Resort – Tokyo Club 33
Posted onToday’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
Posted onHi everyone. I just got back from a two week vacation. Before I left, I arranged for several blogs to be published in my absence. Deb Wills was kind enough to post them, but she was unable to respond to everyone’s comments the way I normally try to do. So if you were wondering why … Continue reading "Tokyo Disney Resort – Duffy and Sinbad"

The Hub — Tokyo Disneyland
Posted onThe Hub isn’t really a “land” but my blog about World Bazaar was getting a little long so I decided to give this area its own column. The Hub at Tokyo Disneyland is a little different from that of the other Magic Kingdoms. When exiting World Bazaar (Main Street), you enter a sort of courtyard … Continue reading "The Hub — Tokyo Disneyland"
Mysterious Island – Tokyo DisneySea
Posted onI 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 onIt’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"
