Tokyo Disneyland Part 2: Night Time and Goodbye!

by · Published · Updated

Tokyo Disneyland (TDL) feels even more different at night. They really do a great job on lighting and they have the Disney Electrical Parade which combines the old theme music (my favorite) with new lighting technology for a really great show. The fireworks display is pretty short and really not spectacular at all but fits in with the understated theme.

The Disney Electrical Parade was the best parade at TDL and maybe the best Disney parade in the world unless Shanghai or Hong-Kong have something better
Two things made TDL extra special at night. The best parade and the 2nd best ride (1st is Rise of the Resistance). The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast is just amazing! ***SPOILER-ALERT*** Short video clips and pictures of the ride interior
The queue and pre-ride were both excellent and really added to the experience. So many details that you saw new things each time through the line
There are multiple scenes in multiple rooms. The spinning tea cups really add to the live feel of the ride but make it tough to take video

The animatronics are so good! They are not going for real life but a representation of the original animation. Brilliant!

What kind of voodoo techno magic is this? The transformation is such a cool effect and each scene really moves the story forward. The language doesn’t matter since we all know the story
Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast is a beautiful, visually stunning dark ride with great story telling.
The Disney Electrical Parade is Subtitled Dream Lights
A lot of the floats were interactive with Rapunzel’s gestures changing the lights
The Disney Electrical Parade Dream Lights was the second highlight of TDL. Interestingly, the parades and some rides have sponsor companies like WDW used to have
All of the floats were beautiful
Some of them appropriately changed
Like the Cheshire cat disappearing

The Peter Pan float was a showstopper
But the Genie float was the by far the coolest and best

Both parks were very much worth the visit and so well run. The cast members take Disney service to the next level and the guests are quiet, respectful, and polite. We feel very grateful to have been able to visit Japan and the Disney Resort
