Is it just me or should people just always keep 3ft away from other groups? I never understood the need to basically be spooning the person in front of you while waiting line.

Totally!!

Tokyo is definitely on my bucket list. Being from UK, it's quite a long flight to get there though lol

Oh, it's definitely worth it. DisneySea is AMAZING!

Yeah, I've always felt like 3 ft is about the natural distance to be from strangers in a queue. I mean, maybe not exactly and not at those "fill in all available space" type settings, but generally I think it's about right.

Yes, yes, and yes! Also like, you being up on me does not get you on the ride quicker?

This is actually really great. One time a friend of mine needed just simple antibiotics, and his doctor's office wouldn't call them in so we had to go to a minor medical clinic. They were pretty great, but it took up so much additional time. If we could have done a video visit and called in the prescription for delivery, that would have made it much easier.

Man, I was there fro the 15th anniversary and it was so great. I think I may need to get back there by September 2022!

I was supposed to be there a few days after it starts. After I rebook for next sept I'll miss it by a few days

Oh man...well it'll still be amazing! When we were there we had a mantra, "Greatest theme park in the world!" referring to Tokyo DisneySea. It is breathtakingly spectacular! My sister, who is not quite as well-versed in them parks had no idea what to expect (I had seen pictures) and when we walked under the entrance tunnel and emerged into the Mediterranean Harbor, she was absolutely stunned - the look on her face! It's going to be an incredible trip, anniversary or not.

I think that was pointed out right away when it was originally announced by some of the blogs! That’s good news!!! No one wants a half — festival!!!

I know it'll still be great. I just get huge merch fomo following TDLR explorer. Also missing shanghai's anniversary since the plan is the 3 Asian parks. I've accepted the additional year wait after slowly starting to plan 3 years ago, but it's still a bummer.

But no mention of eat to the beat just local bands.

Maybe there'll still be a little merch lying around. I didn't really get much on my trip, but I did get a trivet that is hanging on my wall. Love that image!



Nest to it is a keychain that I found that was for Tokyo Disneyland's 33rd anniversary, which of course they didn't go all out for, but it was only sold that day.

Anyway, we're derailing the news a little. If you have any questions about TDR, feel free to PM me.

One step closer to menus

Definitely disappointing for a lot of people, I totally get it! I’m sure you’d rather see the original artists than local bands...but the way I’m looking at it, is as long as it’s good music, and live bands, I’d be happy!!! And you never know, they could always throw a couple celebrities in here or there! I guess we’ll have to just wait-and-see!

I don't think I've ever actually noticed the playgrounds (I'm terrible, lmao)- are these usually hot spots? Like is this a big or small deal?
