Tokyo Disneyland (東京ディズニーランド, Tōkyō Dizunīrando), Disney's first international park, is located near Tokyo in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan. The park opened on April 15, 1983, and with it's sister park Tokyo DisneySea and a range of hotels making up the Tokyo Disney Resort, are owned and operated by the Oriental Land Company.
The park features 7 lands, lands include World Bazaar, a variation of Main Street with a glass canopy, Adventureland, Westernland (a renamed Frontierland), Critter Country, Fantasyland, Toontown and Tomorrowland.
The park was built by Disney's Imagineers during the early 80s, to the specifications of the Oriental Land Company. The company asked Disney for a near replica of the Magic Kingdom, in Florida, with the best of Disneyland along the way. The pavements were built very large to accomodate the large Japanese crowds, but in later years as attenadance has slowly declined some paths have been shortened, freeing up space for attractions. To this day the hub, which is usally quite small at other parks, is a massive expanse of pavement, occasionally disrupted with the odd statue or bench.
To all of you who come to this happy place, welcome. Here you will discover enchanted lands of Fantasy and Adventure, Yesterday and Tomorrow. May Tokyo Disneyland be an eternal source of joy, laughter, inspiration, and imagination to the peoples of the world. And may this magical kingdom be an enduring symbol of the spirit of cooperation and friendship between the great nations of Japan and the United States of America. -E. Cardon Walker, April 15, 1983
