In 2011 shortly after the tsunami struck Japan and created an unprecedented series of tragic events we posted a tribute of sorts to the Tokyo Disney resort, you can read it here: https://www.parkeology.com/2011/03/so-story-goes.html. About a year ago (one year after the tsunami) we were back in Tokyo and were thrilled to find it every bit […]
Tokyo DIsneyland
Here There Be Princesses – Tokyo Disneyland
A while back Shane gave himself a little challenge. He wanted to find the small hidden areas in the parks that he had never been to before. Not unlike the monsters lurking in the uncharted areas of old pirate maps who knew what these seldom trafficked areas held? Sadly other than getting arrested for […]
“Singin’ in the Rain” is Disney’s Favorite Non-Disney Song
Singin’ in the Rain returned to theaters tonight in one of those Fathom events that you sometimes see commercials for at movie theaters. You know these things. Pay inflated prices to watch a simulcast rock concert from Berlin, or gasp in horror as Andrew Lloyd Webber desperately tries to recapture the magic of his younger […]
Look but don’t touch
(As always click on the photos to enlarge and see the details… it’s worth it!) We recently got back from a trip to Tokyo and the Tokyo Disney Resort. Of course by “We” I mean the royal “we” because Shane is afraid to leave his bedroom. I often have to coax his out with toaster […]
Tokyo Disneyland Halloween Raises the Bar
This is just a short post to highlight something truly awesome from a Tokyo Disneyland fansite. Apparently Halloween is such a big deal at Tokyo, Disney has to issue rules about what costumes people can wear. They are usually limited to Disney animated characters, or characters from the parks. This site has several pictures of […]

We are going to continue today by looking at the remaining “Story Cards” the resort offers. One major difference between the Japanese and most Western cultures are how they […]
So the Story Goes:
Parkeology is all about having fun and not being too serious. Afterall this is a blog about theme parks… not really world altering stuff. But sometimes things are just not fun or funny, sometimes thet are serious and sad. Thousands were trapped within the parks The past week and a half has brought us many […]
A Great Mystery…
It is well established that we suck! Everything Disney gets in Tokyo is far superior to our honky-tonk, county fair, ho-down like experiences. If given a choice between a trip to the Tokyo Disney Resort and say ending world hunger only a fool would choose to feed the children. In fact in my very own […]
Mickey no Tokyo Disneyland Daibouken
Our spellchecker is not broken. The headline is Japanese, and it translates roughly to “Mickey’s Adventure in Tokyo Disneyland.” (I’ll let you clever folks figure out which Japanese word means “Adventure”). Up until about a month ago, I never knew Mickey had adventures in Tokyo Disneyland. I just sort of assumed he sat in the […]
