Photos All Round

We've had a nice summer break here at DF'82, and so we start up again by visiting Tokyo Disneyland and their fantastic Westernland area.

I don't know about you, but I definitely enjoy getting my photo taken professionally. And when you are in Westernland, I know the very place to drop by!

Above the Trading Post we can visit the Westernland Photographer:

Fine Quality

Fine Likeness

Excellent!

And if you look carefully, you can also see that the Trading Post itself is the place to go for all your photo needs during your visit to Tokyo Disneyland.

Point The Way

When you are in Tokyo Disneyland, it can be easy to get lost as it is so big and different to the other Disney theme parks!

But have no fear, there are always signs pointing the way to where you want to go. And with the Imagineers planning the park, even these signings keep with the theming of the land you are in. For example, you may be in the hub, just off World Bazaar, looking to go to Westernland.

As you can see, the sign and the font is a perfect blend of Main Street U.S.A.-style writing and Westernland signing.

Ticket To...Westernland!

Hopefully you're all enjoying our little tour around Tokyo Disneyland, and getting to explore it along with myself! Today, I thought we would take a little stop in Westernland - before heading over to Critter Country tomorrow!

Westernland is similar to Frontierland in the other Disney Parks around the world, named 'Western' as 'Frontier' does not translate the same in Japanese. This land shares it's major similarities with Frontierland and Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom, Florida. So let's look at the map and see what's here...
Notice that the Haunted Mansion doesn't seem to be in this area? That's because, strangely enough, it's in Fantasyland! Anyway, we can still see the Country Bear Jamboree and sail round the Rivers of America.

As you can see, we can still have a go on the Tom Sawyer Island Rafts, if we would rather do some 'exercise' than just jump aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat!

And Big Thunder Mountain, which we can see in the distance, is modelled after the attraction at Magic Kingdom, too, although the duration of the ride is a little longer than the WDW one.

Although, we might be a little hungry and need a snack. Why not try some...curry popcorn?!
