Disneyland Paris or Disneyland Tokyo? About This Page:

[Meggera]

Have any of you been to both Disneyland Paris and DL Tokyo? And, if you could choose just one to go to, which would it be and why? Thanks for your help! I'm hoping one or the other is in my future.

I will be able to answer that question at the beginning of April, as we're off to Tokyo Disney then. From everything I've heard about Tokyo Disney, if we're just comparing Disney parks, then I expect it to be head and shoulders above Disneyland Paris. However, you have to balance that with the fact that on a trip to DLP, you could also visit Paris and London, two absolutely beautiful cities.

I've been to both, even though my trip to Tokyo was a while ago (ten years ago, to be exact), before there was a Disney Sea. I've been to Disneyland Paris five times and am going back there in less than a month DLP is the first Disney park I ever went to back in 1996 so it has some sort of sentimental value for me. Now, having said that, I have to agree with Cheryl that the Disney parks in Tokyo probably beat the Paris' ones hands down. Just Disney Sea by itself is so unique DLP can't compete with it. Add to that the friendliness of the Japanese (whereas DLP is in France... )...

If you also look at what's outside the parks, I think it's hard to decide which would be more exciting to visit: Paris or Tokyo. Both cities are extremely interesting in their own way!

That is one hard decision to make.

Isn't it hard? My husband will get RNR during his 2009 deployment. The Army will fly him anywhere for free. We are thinking about meeting in Tokyo or Paris to visit a new Disney park. Thanks, Sabine, for your input. Cheryl, I can't wait to hear what you think of Tokyo Disney.
