Tokyo Disneyland's Zones and Must-Ride Attractions, Must-Watch Shows
There are currently seven themed zones in Tokyo Disneyland in which guests can find both something new and familiar thanks to its close resemblance to Disneyland in California.
World Bazaar
Inspired by Main Street U.S.A in other Magic Kingdom parks, World Bazaar acts as the entryway for Tokyo Disneyland. The zone has two main pathways with Main Street leading towards Cinderella Castle while the perpendicular roads lead to Tomorrowland and Adventureland respectively. In case you plan on doing your shopping towards the end of your visit, one other activity you can do in this part of the park is ride the two-decker Omnibus which allows guests to take in the views surrounding the castle.
Tomorrowland
Towards the right side of the park lies Tomorrowland, which was based on the 1971 to 1993 designs at Walt Disney World in Florida. Here, guests can experience Disney's take on the future with rides like the iconic Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, and The Happy Hour with Baymax.
If you' love the blue alien character, Stitch, you'll be glad to know that an attraction called Stitch Encounter is also open in this side of the park. Here, guests can interact with the character in real time via a theater screen.
Toontown
Like Mickey's Toontown in California, this version of the themed zone is heavily inspired byt the film, Who Framed Rogger Rabbit. Parkgoers heading towards this area can check out various life-sized houses of your favorite Mickey Mouse and Friends characters. Attractions wise, there is currently one ride in the space called Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin where guests are taken on a spinning vehicle as they try to located the titular character.
Fantasyland
If you're a lover of fairy tales and princesses then you'd best make a stop at Fantasyland. Like its predecessors in various parks, this zone does not have thrilling rides in its premises, opting for dark rides based on popular Disney movies instead. Some of the notable attractions include "it's a small world", Snow White's Adventures, and Haunted Mansion.
A 15-minute theater show called Mickey's PhilharMagic can also be found here.
Critter Country
Animal lovers are bound to enjoy this part of the park! While it is the smallest themed zone in the premises, Critter Country tends to get packed during the day thanks to a very popular attraction called Splash Mountain. Here, guests are taken on an outdoor float-through experience before turning into an indoor dark ride system. It's also worth noting that Tokyo Disneyland is the only reamining Disney park with the said ride with the U.S. versions having closed down to make way for a new attraction.
Westernland
Westenland is Japan's take on Frontierland, which can be found in other Magic Kingdom parks. This "dusty trail" town transports you to the heart of the American Old West, where adventure lurks around every corner and the spirit of the Wild West lives on. Some of the popular attractions include a roller coaster caleld Big Thunder Mountani as well as Mark Twain Riberboat which takes parkgoers across the Rivers of America located within the themed zone.
Adventureland
Tokyo Disneyland's take on Adventureland has two distinct yet complimentary themes, a New Orleans-themed side and a jungle-themed side. Its most popular attractions include Pirates of the Carribean, a dark ride that originated in Disneyland as well as Jungle River Cruise which is a fan-favorite among those with children. Fun fact: The movies with the same titles are actually based on the rides and not the other way around.
Where to Eat and Shop at Tokyo Disneyland
The park has food and beverage options across the various themed zones. Most, if not all establishments also cater to vegan, Halal, and other dietary restrictions. Tokyo Disneyland is also one of the few select parks that allow alcoholic beverages which you can find in places like Restaurant Hokusai located at World Bazaar and in Crystal Palace Restaurant in Adventureland, among others.
It's also adviseable to download the Tokyo Disneyland app to avail of features like mobile order.
