Source please? Every thing I am reading on twitter and Facebook show pictures of minor damage, some small flooding, and flooding of the Disneysea's car park. I have not seen anything totally destroyed.

MousePlanet has many of the pictures posted in one place.

Just heard a nucular power plant is having trouble cooling its reactor in the area.

(Reuters) - A fire broke out at Tohoku Electric Power Co's (9506.T) Onagawa nuclear plant in northeastern Japan following Friday's major earthquake, Kyodo news agency said.

Prior to the Kyodo report, the company had said it had not received information on whether there had been any problems at the nuclear power plant after the disaster.

Separately, ***ushima Prefecture, the site of a Tokyo Electric Power (9501.T) nuclear power plant, said on Friday the plant's reactor cooling system was functioning, denying an earlier report that it was malfunctioning.

Japanese media reported that the government had decided to declare a nuclear power emergency situation, which occurs if there is confirmation of radioactivity leaks from a nuclear power plant or a reactor cooling system breaks down.

Completely false nothing wrong with TDL.

Tokyo Disney is JUST FINE..... minor flooding and minor damage.... people were trapped in the parks though since the trains were not running and the minor flooding was apparently in many of the low lying parking lot areas....

The following link has details and pictures...so this is NOT my opinion but is rather FACT......

Well, this is completely false as well. There are a lot of issues at TDL although none SEEM major.

 

[nytimez]

The fact that someone would post this false information here really diminishes a major tragedy that is now unfolding in Japan. Shame on you.

Yea small damage consistent with something like this a far cry from being destroyed!

I think the major issue I see is that every picture I see of TDL has tons of people sitting around and I'm not sure how they are going to get home.

Their cars maybe flooded and the trains are not running.

Is Disney going to setup some sort of refuge camp.

I think they were going to try to get people into some of the hotels.

Can someone change the title of this thread that Tokyo Disneyland is NOT destroyed

If you contact a Mod they may do it.

I don't see the mods doing it much on these boards. On other boards I have seen mods change titles a lot mostly to make them clearer.
