PhishyBrewer Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 It almost feels like Monica and I are there with you...I don't know why. Did I mention Don and Monica were there to? We just happen to be on the same plane, stayed in the same hotel room and everything. It really worked out because they got to show me a around. Thanks Don and Monica!
PhishyBrewer Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Great pictures. Thanks for posting them. The one from TDS you don't recognize is the entrance to Fortress Explorations nearby Magellan's Restaurant. Oh BTW... TDS' hotel name is MIRACosta, not Maricosta. Thanks!!!
PhishyBrewer Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 PhishyBrewer: nice pictures by the way! Next year I'm going to Japan... Is april a good month to go? Do you have any suggestions what parks we should do at least? I was also planning to go to the Ghibli Museum... I've only been to Japan once, last week in March. I have know idea what April would be like, but I would have to think it might be slightly busy do to people coming to see the cherry blossoms. As for parks, I didn't do a whole lot of them. You might want to send a PM to Don aka Jeezus Juice or Elissa. A couple thoughts though; The next person that tells me Japan is expensive I'm going to slap them silly. I spent just about the same amount of money as if I vacationed somewhere in Southern California. And no, I wasn't the tallest person there either. Why do people say this? The area we were at was very clean, everyone was very polite and I never felt so safe in a large city. Definitely heading back there again. I just love it there and actually dreaded coming back to California.
Wilde Prince Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 The name of the company that owns and operates Tokyo Disneyland is the Oriental Land Company. I had the good fortune to work on two separate occasions at TDL in its early years some time before Tokyo Disney Sea came along. What awesome memories. I can't wait to go back and see the park all grown up with a second gate, and its resort status!
Coasterboy2 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Japan looks like a hell lot of fun! I will go there someday.
gisco Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I love the pics Wally. I'm really missing Japan now. It's an awsome country.

disneygurlz2s Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Great pictures!! Still completely fascinated at the fact that the Japanese parks operate year-round that way! Coasters AND ice skating. The electronics district would be my husband's idea of a theme park!! Shari

ECZenith Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Still laughing at the text under your FujiQ pass picture "Ohhhh Pretty!! lol What's up with Fuji constantly changing the paintscheme on Dodonpa's train. That's like the third version I've seen and the ride isn't that old. I definately liek the dots better than the weird, creepy screaming faces though... Thanks for the excellent TR, Ohhhh how I want to go to Japan...
