Here's the thing about Tokyo Disneyland: it's not trying to be Disney World. It's doing its own thing, in Japanese, with a level of operational excellence that made us pause more than once to ask each other if what we were witnessing was actually real.
We got there at park open. We are not people who get places at park open. The crowd flow was so managed and organized that it genuinely felt like a different experience than any other theme park either of us had been to.
The food situation is legitimate. We're not going to pretend we went for the rides — we went to eat things we couldn't get anywhere else, and the park delivered. Gyoza at a theme park. Curry. Things stuffed into Mickey-shaped containers that were somehow actually good.
Christian's skepticism dissolved somewhere around the second hour. He doesn't want us to talk about it.
If you're going: get there early, grab a priority pass for the major attractions immediately, and don't skip the little things. The detail work on everything is worth slowing down for.
