I had so much fun reading your reports! It seems like Tokyo Disneyland is a LOT like Disneyland in CA (I think that's intentional, though). I love the castle and especially the glass statues of Cinderella...so pretty!
I think it's sort of funny how all the attraction signs are in English, but then you said most of the audio is in Japanese? How weird...I wonder if that's due to stuff not really translating from English to Japanese properly...I mean, how would you say "Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters" in Japanese?
SO looking forward to your DisneySea report!

Hong Kong Disney was the same. They had English, and Chinese on most of the signs. Some of the attraction audio was in English, others Mandarin and Cantonese, then several were both English and Chinese.
Mel, another great trip report. Just reading and looking at the pictures makes me ready to go back to Asia. More China trips are for sure, I just need to talk my wife in a detour to Japan. Look forward to hearing about DisneySea.

Yes, I would think most of the attraction names wouldn't translate. But most all of the FP and warning signs were in both Kanji and English, like this Splash one.

There's a possibility the Japanese characters I put in my post won't display in certain browsers (but I include them for demonstration purposes)
In many cases when the names of attractions are written in Japanese (katakana) then they are written out phonetically- for example:
ディズニーシー
would literally read and sound like deizuni shi (DisneySea)
And yes, Buzz Lightyear's Astroblaters is very difficult to translate into Japanese- it looks like:
バズ・ライトイヤーのアストロブラスター
But when read it sounds like buzz raitoiya asutoroburasuta
During the grand opening ceremonies that made me want to chuckle a bit listening to the enthusiastic Japanese pronunciation of astroblasters since a strong emphasis was placed on the first syllable making it sound like they were describing some late night infomercial exercise equipment.

Thank you so much for writing this! It's been my dream for many years to go to Japan, and now I want to go even more. Your pictures are great - the park seems to be a combination of the best of Disneyland in California and WDW.
-
Another incredible report and pictures. Also remarkable is the huge number of views of your photo album

Thanks for sharing this second day with us. That garden in front of the castle is beautiful!
