Tokyo
Disneyland
is
a
115-acre
(47
ha)
theme
park
at
the
Tokyo
Disney
Resort
in
Urayasu,
Chiba
Prefecture,
Japan,
near
Tokyo.[2]
Its
main
gate
is
directly
adjacent
to
both
Maihama
Station
and
Tokyo
Disneyland
Station.
It
was
the
first
Disney
park
to
be
built
outside
the
United
States,
and
it
opened
on
15
April
1983.
The
park
was
constructed
by
WED
Enterprises
in
the
same
style
as
Magic
Kingdom
in
Florida
and
Disneyland
in
California.
It
is
owned
by
The
Oriental
Land
Company,
which
licenses
the
theme
from
The
Walt
Disney
Company.
Tokyo
Disneyland
and
its
companion
park,
Tokyo
DisneySea,
are
the
only
Disney
parks
not
wholly
or
partly
owned
by
the
Walt
Disney
Company
(however,
Disney
has
creative
control).
The
park
has
seven
themed
areas:
the World
Bazaar;
the
four
traditional
Disney
lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland;
and
two
mini-lands: Critter
Country and Mickey's
Toontown.
Many
of
these
areas
mirror
those
in
the
original
Disneyland
as
they
are
based
on
American
Disney
films
and
fantasies.
Fantasyland
includes Peter
Pan's
Flight, Snow
White's
Scary
Adventures, Dumbo
the
Flying
Elephant,
based
on
Disney
films
and
characters.The
park
is
noted
for
its
extensive
open
spaces,
to
accommodate
the
large
crowds
that
visit
the
park.In
2018,
Tokyo
Disneyland
hosted
17.9
million
visitors,
making
it
the
world's
third-most
visited
theme
park
behind
the
Magic
Kingdom
at
Walt
Disney
World
Resort
and
Disneyland
Park
at
the
Disneyland
Resort.
History
The
initial
contract
for
the
construction
of
Disneyland
in
Chiba
Prefecture
was
signed
in
April
1979.
Japanese
engineers
and
architects
visited
California
to
tour
Disneyland
and
prepare
to
construct
the
new
park.The
construction
of
the
park
began
a
year
later
and
was
covered
by
hundreds
of
reporters
as
an
indication
of
the
high
expectations
for
the
park
in
the
future.
The
final
cost
of
Tokyo
Disneyland
was
180
billion
yen
rather
than
the
projected
100
billion
yen.
On
28
February
2020,
Disney
announced
a
temporary
closure
of
Tokyo
Disneyland
and
DisneySea
from
29
February
to
combat
the COVID-19
pandemic.The
closure,
originally
slated
to
expire
in
mid-March,
was
later
extended
twice,
with
the
latest
extension
being
until
1
July
2020.
