Trip Report: Four Days of Tokyo Disney + Universal Studios Japan and More

[Wendy Pleakley]

Is that the “Magic Lamp Theatre” show? Is it worth a visit?

I didn't end up seeing any shows on this trip, but I echo that I vaguely recall this one being so-so in 2002 because of the language barrier.

I recall one show in DisneySea from way back then that had a really cool moment where the entire theater was consumed by fog. If you're into shows I'd look for something that appears to have standout music or a uniqueness to it.

For me, seeing both nighttime shows at each park was enough, and they were both fantastic.

Oh absolutely. We’re currently aiming for 4 days per park minimum. We’re moving staying in Dubai to another trip for more Tokyo time.

This spring I spend one day in Dubai and four days in each Tokyo park.

That was too long in Dubai, too short in Tokyo Disney...


Also, if Disney is your hobby, then there's no shame in just going somewhere for the local Disney park. Nobody thinks himself a cultural barbarian for flying transcontinental to WDW and not combining that with Washington and Chicago. So no pressure to visit the rest of Japan or France if your goal is the local Disney resort.
