The cool thing about Tokyo Disney Resort is that its two theme parks are a short train ride away from each other, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds in just one day!

Tokyo Disneyland first welcomed its guests in 1983 as the first Disney theme park outside the United States. Modelled after Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom, you'll find classic rides like Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain, along with seven themed zones to check out!

Here are more Tokyo Disneyland activities to guarantee you a magical time.

Tokyo DisneySea is Tokyo Disneyland's younger sister that opened in 2001. Overlooking Tokyo Bay, it adopts a more nautical approach to its design. Tokyo DisneySea also has 7 themed zones called "Ports of Call" to mimic real harbours. Attractions unique to this theme park include Mermaid Lagoon, which gives you a glimpse of Ariel's world.

As Tokyo Disneyland celebrates its 40th anniversary and Halloween, these decorations will be beautifully combined to create a cheerful atmosphere. The "Spooky Boo!" parade will take place daily, featuring six floats representing the themed lands with a Halloween twist. The Haunted Mansion Nightmare overlay (based on Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas) runs from Thursday, September 14, 2023 to Monday, January 8, 2024. That's one long Halloween celebration!

Tokyo DisneySea is holding its "Halloween Fair in New York" for the first time where cast members help guests take photos and hand out trick-or-treat candies! The area also has a foggy atmosphere to get into the Halloween spirit.

If there's one thing Tokyo Disney Resort can do, it's elevate food and bevvies. This Halloween features tons of pumpkin-flavoured sweets like churros, soft serve, and bubble tea, not to mention the iconic Mickey waffle topped with chestnut whipped cream and maple syrup.

In line with all things pumpkin, you must get your hands on a Jack-o'-Lantern popcorn bucket while you're in the park for a memorable and adorable souvenir.

Klook Tips:
