"Strictly American" Despite being located in Japan, Tokyo Disneyland has a distinctly American flair to it. All of the attractions found there are virtually identical to their American counterparts in theme, with the exception that Japanese is the spoken language. Also adding to the "strictly American" atmosphere is the fact that most of the restaurants serve Western cuisine.
Attractions With only a few exceptions, Tokyo Disneyland for the most part has the same attractions found in Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Disneyland (since 1998 officially Disneyland Park, to distinguish it from the Disneyland Resort complex of which it is a part), is a theme park in Anaheim, California, USA (28 miles from Downtown Los Angeles). ...

Adventureland
Unlike its sister parks, Tokyo Disneyland does not have a railroad encircling it. There is, however, an attraction in Adventureland called the Western River Railroad, but it cannot be used to travel from one area of the park to another; rather it makes a scenic round-trip excursion. This is the top-level page of WikiProject trains Rail tracks Rail transport refers to the land transport of passengers and goods along railways or railroads. ...
World Bazaar
Instead of a Main Street USA, Tokyo Disneyland has the World Bazaar, whose most noticeable aspect is that it is enclosed under a glass canopy.
Eating
There are several places to eat and all are listed on the map. However, the food descriptions are either not 100% accurate or there is something lost in the translation. Also, understand that portion sizes are different in Japan so don't be suprised when that large drink you ordered looks like a small to you. This combined with the normal increase in cost normally expected at an amusement park may hit your pocket book harder than expected. If you are arriving by car/bus you may consider having a cooler in the car and having a picnic. If you do decide to eat in the park scout out the resturaunts before you intend on eating. This will give you a better idea of their menus and the fastest way to get there when it is time to eat.
Access Information and Rates Tokyo Disneyland is accessible by car or JR Keiyo Line, Maihama Station. Entry is 5800 Yen (on Oct2006) for one park and 10000 Yen for 2 days (2 parks).
