The magic of Disney came to Japan with the opening of TOKYO DISNEYLAND Park on April 15, 1983.

The Walt Disney Company joined forces with Oriental Land Co., Ltd. to "imagineer" a third Disney park. When TOKYO DISNEYLAND opened on reclaimed land about ten kilometers east of central Tokyo, Mickey Mouse and all his fellow Disney characters took up residence in their first Disney home outside the United States.

The Disney park in Japan is about 1.5 times the size of the original DISNEYLAND Park in Anaheim, California. TOKYO DISNEYLAND is laid out in a pentagonal shape that allows guests to conveniently choose from the 39 attractions located throughout its seven different "themed" lands.

The continued growth of the DISNEYLAND Resort in California, the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort in Florida and the DISNEYLAND Paris Resort in France and the worldwide acclaim they have achieved attests to the success of the Disney entertainment formula -- one which is carried out to the same degree of quality at TOKYO DISNEYLAND as well. Many of the most popular attractions at the Disney parks were brought to the Tokyo Park, while others have been created just for TOKYO DISNEYLAND.

Besides the many attractions, there are 55 dining facilities and 53 different shops throughout the property. The dining spots range from themed snack counters to elaborate, gourmet restaurants. The shops are all themed to the lands where they are located. Guests, as visitors to this magical kingdom are called, can shop for everything from Mickey Mouse T-shirts to exclusively blended perfumes.

TOKYO DISNEYLAND is a unique place where people of all ages can find enjoyment and share in all the laughter, thrills, and surprises of this magical Disney park.
