Tokyo Disney Resort is mainly composed of two parks, namelyTokyo Disneyland(Tokyo ディズニーランド) andTokyo Disney Sea(Tokyo ディズニーシー). Tokyo Disneyland is similar to Disney parks around the world and opened in April 1983. Tokyo DisneySea is the only ocean-themed Disneyland in the world, which opened in September 2001.
In addition to the two theme parks, there are comprehensive commercial facilities that combine shops, restaurants, and movie theaters around the Tokyo Disney Resort park.Ikspiari(イクスピアリ), and the largest Disney merchandise store in JapanHave a good trip(Bon・ヴォヤージュ) and other ancillary facilities.
Many tourists believe that the people of Tokyo Disney are more cordial and friendly than Disney in other countries, and the maintenance and cleanliness of the overall park are better. But Tokyo Disney is often very crowded, even a small ride may have a long line of people on weekdays.
Language
Common Japanese signs Most of the signs in the park use graphics, so most tourists who speak any language can understand it. However, there are many cases where Japanese katakana is used. The following is a comparison table of Japanese in common facilities in the park:

Japanese is the lingua franca of Tokyo Disney Resort. In addition, there are many staff who can communicate in simple English in the resort. For Chinese-speaking tourists, in addition to providing the Chinese version of the map manual (available at the guest service), there are also Chinese-language service staff in the resort. They will wear a Mickey Mouse-shaped badge with the word "Chinese" written on it. , The badge size is small and may not be easy to notice. If there is no Chinese service staff in the park, there is a Chinese service counter in the "Guest Service Center", and you can go directly to it when you need help. Currently, there are loanable Chinese subtitle displays in three facilities (Magic Lamp Theater, Mermaid Lagoon Theater, Tiki Shrine), which need to be obtained from the staff before entering the venue. Some facilities also provide notices in Chinese.
Although unfamiliar with Japanese can also be unimpeded in Tokyo Disney Resort, some performances and facilities may require a certain level of Japanese understanding in order to enjoy the greatest pleasure. Some performances are performed in Japanese or English throughout, and some facilities will be accompanied by a short play performed by the staff to bring out the background of the story (some facilities will display Chinese and English subtitles on the marquee). For example, in Tokyo Disneyland, the "jungle cruising" in the adventure park area is a boat sailing in the Amazon jungle scene, accompanied by the captain’s lively and humorous on-site guide. If you don’t understand Japanese, you may not be able to enjoy this level of fun. (But the exquisite jungle landscape is still worth admiring).
