AboutJonathan Expertise I can answer most questions relating to Walt Disney World in Florida, Disneyland in California, and Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan. In addition, I can also provide advice regarding side trips from those places (such as Universal Studios Orlando as a side trip from Walt Disney World). I am also adept in the use of public transportation, so if you are not planning to use a car for your trip I am the right person to look to. Please note though, that traveling by car is not one of my strongest points, so please don't ask me any questions regarding highway travel.
Experience Star-studded Walt Disney World veteran, also have been to Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Resort. Experience in car-free travel in Japan, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Chicago.
Education/Credentials HS Diploma and two bachelor's degrees (business and sociology)
Question I have been to Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, a LOT! Can you tell me what the other Disney parks; especially K-alifornia, are like? Thanks.
Answer I'm glad you asked me this question. I have been both to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA and Tokyo Disneyland in Japan, as you saw on my profile.
Of those two I like the one in Japan better. Tokyo Disneyland's sister park Tokyo DisneySea is a Disney park unlike any other; it has an oceanic theme. But what I like best about it is that you can get there via train from Tokyo Station. Even much better is the monorail with its Mickey Mouse-shaped windows! The website is www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp (it will default to Japanese, click on the "English" icon).
As far as Anaheim goes, it consists of two parks; Disneyland itself and Disney's California Adventure, which is both an entertainment and educational park themed to various regions of the state. You can finish it in just two days, but if you have enough time, Amtrak's Anaheim station is just two miles east. From there you can take a train to LA or San Diego, this makes for a terrific side trip. The website is www.disneyland.com.
It also would help to visit the website of Wikitravel, a travel-based website run by the WikiMedia Foundation, the parent company of Wikipedia.
Thanks for asking for my help, I'm glad to assist!
