Rewritten and new scanned photos from the photo-album.
In 1994 we
made a trip to Asia. We also went to Japan. And of course we had to visit
Disney. To get to the park was very difficult, as there were no signs in
English, and our Japanese was very bad. But the people were very helpful and
friendly.
The transport was approximately the same as in
America. But the park seems much more wide, because here were much
less visitors
.
The park
was opened on April 15, 1983, and celebrate the 10 years, till last spring
1984.There came the first years nearly 10 million visitors. With a record of
visitors of 17,6 million in 1996-07.
The
tickets were ordered in the Netherlands and were delivered in our hotel. Now
still with the metro on our way to Disneyland. That only was a experience to go
with the metro. Nobody speaks English. (then). But they show us, how to pay and
take the metro-ticket. They were very friendly. There were that day nearly 10
Europeans, so we had a lot of looks. I've scanned the photos from my photo-album
and rewritten the site.
The park
was about so big as Disneyland Paris, with only some different things. Mostly
water attractions. The park guide was available in English, but we took the
Japanese with us for souvenir. It was about 10 o'clock in the morning, when we
arrived in the park. It was not very busy, it had
been stopped with rain. First of all we look well in
the guide and show
time
guide, what there was to
do. Maybe it came by the Japanese language in the show time guide, because this guide seemed very
different, than we used in America. Firstly we drink a cup of coffee.
The little
children thought we came from Mars, when we eating and they hear us speaking to
each other, they looked ......... and wow what are that for people.
But in the restaurants you could
order everything in English and it tasted very good. Afterwards we have not seen
a lot of, what was very pity, because you came here not very often.
We saw
here a lot of characters. The most asked directly if we want with
them on the photograph. We've been notable between all those
Japanese.
We visited all kind of
shows. They
were wonderful. These were: Aladdin Great Adventure, Sebastian's Caribbean
Carnival and the Mickey Mouse Club.
We have taken to less pictures, but there were
than no digital camera's.
Furthermore we concerned with the cable-car to get
a view over the park. Each park has his own attractions.
Below still several photos of the park.
We had selected a beautiful day, the sun shines
and it was not cold. But one day was in fact too less. But we did
not have enough time. And of course there was also the parade.
"The
Fantasy Parade".
The
park closed at half past seven in the evening, the park was lightening, when we
were there on Wednesday. Otherwise the park is still open till nine o'clock in
the evening. Than comes the electric parade.
Unfortunately we mist that. But after all it was a successful day.
We certainly come back once.
