Many of us have grown up watching Disney cartoons on TV and at the cinema. Inspired by Disney’s animated films, the design of Tokyo Disneyland® is based on the Disneyland in California and the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Repeatedly quoted as being the best Disneyland in Asia, Tokyo Disneyland is a fun-filled theme park that you wouldn’t want to while visiting Japan.
Themed Area’s inside Tokyo Disneyland®.
There are seven themed areas inside Tokyo Disneyland®: World Bazaar, Adventureland, Westernland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Toontown, and Tomorrowland. We'd like to introduce the most recommended rides from each area, according to a FUN! JAPAN Team Member who has visited Tokyo Disneyland® more than 40 times in her life! Let's check them together!
Tokyo Disneyland® Rides
Jungle Cruise from Adventureland
When on the Jungle Cruise, you will find yourself aboard a small cruising boat that will take you on a journey as you explore the huge jungle. Accompanied by a fun and enthusiastic guide who will help give you the full experience. You can meet wild animals and even a native tribe on your adventures through the Jungle, you also won’t be able to stop taking photos of the beautiful scenery that surrounds you.
Pirates of The Caribbean from Adventureland
Riding a boat exploring a dark and mysterious cave while you search for Captain Jack Sparrow. The darkness of the ride can be a little scary for some but once you move past the darkness, you will find yourself amongst some funny pirates getting into mischief. This ride definitely makes you want to watch Pirates of the Caribbean.
Big Thunder Mountain from Westernland
The Big Thunder Mountain is a themed roller coaster ride that looks like a runaway mine train which takes you through the thrilling landscape of the Old West. A classic ride that never gets old.
Splash Mountain from Critter Country
Besides the roller coaster ride, you’ll want to try the comparably thrilling log ride known as Splash Mountain. You’ll experience a heart racing drop during the ride. Of course, you cannot forget to check your photo which will be taken during that drop!
Peter Pan's Flight from Fantasyland
Fly on a pirate ship to visit Never Land! Surrounded by twinkle stars and guided by Peter Pan to explore the hidden land, which makes you feel like you’re floating in the air. The fight against Captain Hook is a big highlight of the ride.
It’s a small world from Fantasyland
Additionally, the recently renewed It’s A Small World ride is a relaxing musical ride which is great for kids. Over 40 classic Disney characters were added to parts of the ride. Now featuring new Disney characters and a few old ones such as Anna, Elsa, Aladdin, Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, Alice, Peter Pan and Moana have been added to the song.
Monsters Inc. Ride & Go Seek from Tomorrowland
At the entrance of Tomorrowland, you’ll see the Monsters Inc. Ride & Go Seek ride. A shooter ride which allows you to interact with many things throughout the ride in the form of flashlight tag. The ride also features animatronics like many of the other rides found around the park.
To ensure a shorter wait at the rides, make use of the Fastpass which is available for most of the popular rides.
