Just like Magic Kingdom!
honestly no. The magic kingdom has better fit and finish than Tokyo Disneyland. Magic Kingdom just lacks more rides.

Magic Kingdom also lacks the amazing upkeep TDL gets.
but design-wise MK is definitely superior

Barely. As soon as you step out of New Fantasyland, it’s that jarring tent and castle look it’s been forever. I still wish they’d redo all the facades around the rest of Fantasyland in MK to actually make it fit.

MK doesn’t have giant wide open areas of cheaply painted concrete like tdl. It’s really bad TBH. For as much praise as Tokyo gets and rightfully deserves... this is simply not one of them.

People always say this but seem to miss the European architecture there from 1971...Pinocchio, the castle forecourt shops, the venues between the tents, the transitions west of IASW and PPF leading towards Liberty Square (even pre-Tangled), all of which influenced the DL 1983 Fantasyland reno. Not arguing against upgrading the tents to something more interesting but it’s hardly the cheap land most seem to make it out to be...

Part of a concept for a Land-wide renovation of FL around the time Pooh was being planned:

That second piece looks so good. I love how Peter Pan's Flight and Teacups share an interconnected facade themed to 19th century London.

I'm glad we got Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall over Dumbo's Big Top Restaurant.
It also looks like the teacups would have been removed.

Upon closer inspection, it looks like the Teacups were moved beside Peter Pan and re-themed to Beauty and the Beast?

^ Correct.
I came across it a couple years ago from an Imagineer's personal web portfolio... can't remember his name or site, though. There is/was a remarkable amount of 'never-before-published' WDI art put out on the web on similar such online portfolios of non-famous ex-Disney designers. You'd never know about it unless you looked up their individual names (e.g. from THEA Awards Programs) and did web-searches.

I try to find Imagineers sites all the time. 
Just never saw this one. Thanks!

Interesting to compare with the other TDL Fantasyland rework concept shared by @RandySavage. I wonder which design came first, or if they were worked on concurrently.

Here's another progress update for Beauty and the Beast. Those metal gates will eventually be the main entrance of the attraction.

Can someone make an edit of this scene from The Simpsons but related to WDW's New Fantasyland's Belle Castle and Tokyo's BATB Castle. Plus replace Homer's face with Chapek.Here's another progress update for Beauty and the Beast. Those metal gates will eventually be the main entrance of the attraction.

UMG the one that distributes TDR music, Blocks recent TDR music is one strategy to sell more CDs that are being sold within the park or any cd shops across japan and at a later date would be distributed to All streaming Platforms Spotify Apple Music, etc. and would be unblocked on certain territories at a later date. For now, you can only view recent TDR shows on YT on x2 playback speed.
Thanks, I guess that makes sense. However you wouldn't think selling CDs would be a problem to the TDR fans......
