Tokyo Disney Resort
The Tokyo Disney Resort is a theme park and vacation resort located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, just east of Tokyo. The resort is owned and operated by the Oriental Land Co., a subsidiary of the Keisei Electric Railway, under a license from The Walt Disney Company, which designed and constructed the resort and its various attractions through its Imagineering research & development arm.
The resort opened on April 15, 1983, as a single theme park, later developing into a resort with a second theme park, six Disney themed hotels, six non-Disney hotels and a shopping complex. Tokyo Disneyland was the first Disney theme park to open outside the United States and the complex is the only Disney resort in the world not owned or operated by Disney Experiences in any capacity.
Attractions
Tokyo Disney Resort consists of Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, and Ikspiari, which is a variation of the Downtown Disney and Disney Springs shopping, dining, and entertainment areas found at the Disney resorts in Anaheim and Lake Buena Vista respectively. It also contains Bon Voyage!, a large Disney goods specialty shop.Like other Disney resorts, the Tokyo Disney Resort includes several Disney-branded hotels; the resort's one "Luxury" Hotel is the Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel and four "Deluxe" Hotels are the Disney Ambassador Hotel, the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and the Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel. The Resort also includes the "Moderate" type Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel and the "Value" type Tokyo Disney Resort Celebration Hotel.
