It’s quite a delight to just walk around and enjoy the sights at World Bazaar, especially after a day around the park. When the skies go dark, lights along the streets glow brightly and the glass canopy fades away.

Everything from Tokyo Disney Resort and Hong Kong Disney Resort, including trip reports and photo tours of Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea and Hong Kong Disneyland.
Tokyo Disneyland – World Bazaar
World Bazaar is the first themed area in Tokyo Disneyland. Resembling a small, carefree American town from the yesteryears, the Bazaar has two walkways that cross each other: Main Street and Center Street. This allows guests to travel to three themed zones of the park directly at the junction, through streets filled with several shops and restaurants.
Tokyo DisneySea – Magellan’s
Hidden within Fortress Explorations is Magellan’s – one of the most elaborately themed restaurants at Tokyo DisneySea.
Tokyo DisneySea – Fortress Explorations
Fortress Explorations is an exquisitely-themed interactive play area at Mediterranean Harbor, Tokyo DisneySea. Discover what lies within its chambers in this photo tour.
Tokyo DisneySea – Mediterranean Harbor – part two
At night, Mediterranean Harbor comes alive. Rows of street lamps illuminate the streets and cast a soft warm glow on the rustic buildings. Park guests return to this port city, now a bustling marketplace, to shop and dine. Across the waters, Mount Prometheus lends a mysterious sight.
Tokyo DisneySea – Mediterranean Harbor
Mediterranean Harbor is the gateway to Tokyo DisneySea. Designed to resemble a seaport in Italy, the buildings in the area have design touches inspired by architecture from Portofino, Tuscany and Venice. This port city is filled with several shops and restaurants, but also uniquely integrates the world’s first and only themed hotel within a Disney park – the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel Miracosta.
Tokyo Disney Resort theme parks – Tips and Tricks
Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are huge Disney theme parks, with a lot of rides, shows to enjoy and countless places to explore. A day at either park is often not enough to cover most, or even half of the attractions.
Both theme parks are crowded most days of the year, but during some holiday periods, things get really out of control. You need a game plan to maximize your time.
Tokyo Disney Resort – Getting There and Around
So you’ve finally landed in Japan. How do you get to Tokyo Disney Resort? Here is a photo report on how I got to the resort and traveled around the parks.
A trip to Tokyo Disney Resort
With the finest theming and some of the world’s best attractions, Tokyo Disney Resort has long earned its right of being the place “where dreams come true”. This magnificent resort is home to Tokyo Disneyland – modeled after the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World; and the world’s only Tokyo DisneySea – a unique Disney park based on nautical exploration themes.
Hong Kong Disneyland: Flights of Fantasy parade
It’s time for dreams and imagination to soar. With astounding floats, colourful costumes and joyous sounds, Flights of Fantasy parade is an uplifting spectacle that is guaranteed to delight park guests at Hong Kong Disneyland. This is Hong Kong Disneyland’s current regular day-time parade, and was first unveiled as part of the park’s 5th Anniversary campaign – “Celebration in the Air”.
The parade combines classic and new Disney characters, with many segments relevant to the park’s attractions. The seven parade floats are: Mickey’s Magical Airship, Caught Up in Daydreams (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh), Romance Takes Wing (Disney Princesses), Jumpin’ Jungle Jam, The Magic of Pixie Dust (Tinker Bell), Hangin’ Ten and Ridin’ High (Lilo & Stitch), To Infinity and Beyond (Toy Story).
After the 5th Anniversary Celebration in the Air festivities, Flights of Fantasy continues to be performed daily at Hong Kong Disneyland. Elements referring to the 5th Anniversary (The number “5”) have been replaced with a “D” in Disney’s iconic typeface.
Flights of Fantasy feature vibrant and impressive floats – there are of course, an abundance of balloons, and balloon-like characters top off most of the floats. The parade also begins with a flying Dumbo (what else, really?) which is quickly accompanied with Mickey’s Airship. Everything is visually impactful – quite punchy colours and interesting forms.
