Disneyland Tokyo - Adventureland - Critter Country - Fantasyland - Tomorrowland - Toon Town - Westernland - World Bazaar Walt Disney World Last revised 16-Dec-2000 . [ Whats New? ] NOTE: Don't get caught out with the wrong credit card at Tokyo Disney . . . . Tokyo Disneyland first opened to the public at Urayasu, just outside Tokyo on 15th April 1983, twelve years after The Magic Kingdom opened at Walt Disney World, and twenty eight years after the original Magic Kingdom theme park opened at Disneyland in Anaheim California. After the considerable success of Disneyland, and later the Walt Disney World resort in Florida, The Disney Company were approached by various countries, all eager to share in the tourist industry the Disney theme parks sparked. In Japan, The Oriental Land Company owned a sufficiently large enough parcel of land that had been reclaimed from Tokyo Bay, which was to be used for recreational purposes. The area also satisfied the other key requirement for Disney, in that it had a large local population within a 30 mile radius. The Japanese were frequent visitors to Disneyland, and subsequently to Walt Disney World, and so it was decided that it would make an ideal location for a third Disney theme park, which would be built along the same lines as the previous two existing Disney theme parks, rather than building a park with a distinct Oriental theme. The weather in the Tokyo Bay area however is far more changable than in Anaheim or Orlando, so the Disney Imagineers planned a glass-roofed World Bazaar area instead of the usual Main Street to greet visitors when they first entered the new park. The attractions were also designed with more covered areas than at the other Disney parks. One of the unique things about Tokyo Disneyland is that the various lands are not accessed by the central hub, but instead by a series of paths that branch off of the Main Street. The one main concession to the fact that it was Disney's first major theme park outside of the USA is the "Meet the World" attraction, that uses Audio Animatronics to deal with Japanese History. The now standard attractions of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Star Tours, and Splash Mountain have all been added to the park since it was initially opened, and as a result Tokyo Disneyland regularly attracts more than 10 million guests each year. Tickets for the park can be bought from several locations, but are probably best bought at the main park entrance. Unlike the original Disneyland in Anaheim, and later Walt Disney World in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland doesn't have it's own Monorail system, however if monorail rumours are to be believed this may soon change. The full address for the Tokyo Disneyland theme park is: Tokyo Disneyland Park 1-1, Maihama, Urayasu-shi, Chiba 279, Japan Ttel: 047(354)0001 Solarius.Com Vacation Planner Home Walt Disney World Disneyland Disneyland Paris Disneyland Hong Kong Solarius.

Not all year round so this need to be planned. For specifics please contact Erna at erna@travelsur.net . In the meantime, if I gather some concrete information I will drop it here. Jennifer Castillo New member Username: Travelfan Post Number: 2 Registered: 5-2005 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 11:24 am: Hello, I plan to travel in July. Would you eliminate the most southern areas, given the time of year. Is Mendoza worth seeing in July, Bariloche? Will Bariloche be overcrowed because of skiing? Roberto Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 1:05 pm: Hey Jennifer, I'd say for places like Ushuaia and Calafate days will be too short and excursions would depend on weather permitting issues. Bariloche is a great winter destination as long as you enjoy snow and skiing. It might get a little crowded by end of July/first of August because of school vacations but in general, Bariloche is a fairly big city, so... As for Mendoza, some excursions are high altitude so here it too you may experience very cold weather and snow. If you are comfortable with it, Mendoza is a great place to visit and July will just be fine. Julio Sandoval Castillo Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Sunday, July 03, 2005 - 10:15 pm: How much would it cost to travel from Buenos Aires to Bariloche and how much is it to rent some snowboards and go boarding or skiing Roberto Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Tuesday, July 05, 2005 - 12:35 am: Welcome Julio!

USD $324 and a day of rental equipemt for skiing is about USD $18 (does not include any clothing). Prices include taxes. Nita Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2005 - 10:32 am: Hi Roberto We are going to Argentina 2/5 to 2/18. We are hearing conflicting reports on weather. We are planning Iguazu Falls and Salta region and around Buenos Aires. We would appreciate your input. Thank you in advance. Nita Roberto Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 44 Registered: 12-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2005 - 6:59 pm: Hello Nita and welcome! All three destinations will be hot. Average temperature for Iguazu during the month of Feb. is 80 F, but there are at least an average of 15 days when temperatures are above 90F. In addition, this place will be very humid. In Salta, temperatures are a bit lower as well as humidity. Rain is similar in both areas. Jan and Feb are the rainy month in Salta. Only 11 days average are above 78F in Salta. Many excursions here might involve altitude so you may experience and even cooler weather. As for Buenos Aires, it will also be hot and humid but I doubt as much as Iguazu. Temperatures may hover around the 88/90F but some days may feel specially hot. What did the conflicting reports said? Wing Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - 6:44 pm: We plan to travel to El Chalten to hike in March. Is this a good time to travel there? Are there hotels in that region? Are there many day hike trails available? Can we do this by ourselves without travel agents? Roberto Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 62 Registered: 12-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - 7:36 pm: Hi... I think this can be done on your own provided you do some homework. El Chalten is *very* small and therefore lacks infraestructure. Although high season is January/February, March is bound to be busy so if you plan to just arrive and find yourself at home you will be for a shock. There are at least 100+ rooms inventory available in dozens of cabins/hostels and small accomodations but during the busy season that may not be much. Bear in mind El Chalten is very isolated and to reach it you will need to drive approximately 220 km from the nearest place -El Calafate- to where you will arrive by plane. This drive is lengthy because the road is composed of pebbles. As you can see traveling by yourself will require planning. There are trails available both for the beginner and the seasoned trekker. Trails may last 1 hour to 7 hours or more and they may involve different levels of difficulty. Most of them are easy and enjoyable. I think you can hike at least a dozen or so trails that have been well mapped. You can do this by yourself and arrange accomodations in advance, but once there your first action should be to approach the information desk at Parque Nacional Los Glaciares to become acquainted with the rules and regulations for visiting the area. On site, there will be many guides and turist services as well. wing Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 - 11:55 am: Hi Roberto, Thank you very much for your response. I understand there is a bus to El Chalten from El Calafate. What is the bus schedule and how much does it cost? Can we fly to El Calafate from Buenos Aires in the morning and take the bus to El Chalten in the afternoon? If El Chalten is too remote may be we will hike around El Calafate. How are the hiking trails in El Calafate? Are they close to town or far away? Is it safe to hike without guides? We like to hike different places how is the scenary between El Calafate and El Chalten? Is it very different or about the same? Roberto Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 64 Registered: 12-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 - 4:49 pm: Wing, give me a few days please. I am on road as I write... Roberto Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 67 Registered: 12-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - 7:00 pm: Hello Wing, here is some more information. There are buses every day from Calafate to El Chalten. Departing in the morning at around 8am and returning to Calafate at around 10pm (departing from El Chalten at 6pm). You should spend at least one night in Calafate in order to take the bus to El Chalten. The drive is approximately 4 hours (for 215 kms). El Chalten is not *too* remote at all, just small. If you reach Calafate it will be a shame not to make it to El Chalten. I would not know the price for the bus ticket. I would not know either how Calafate trekking compares to Chalten trekking. This can only be known if done. Here are a few links that have a ton of information: Todo Calafate EL Chalten Wing Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Saturday, September 24, 2005 - 7:46 pm: Roberto, Thank you very much for the information. I can not find flight schedule to go from Buenos Aires to El Calafate. Can you help? We plan to arrive Buenos Aires on February 26 early in the morning. Is there a flight that day to go to El Calafate? Roberto Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 140 Registered: 12-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Sunday, September 25, 2005 - 1:41 pm: Will check on this tomorrow morning and publish the rates/schedules here. Roberto Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 144 Registered: 12-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 ( Vote! ) Posted on Monday, September 26, 2005 - 3:16 pm: Buenos Aires - Calafate roundtrip February 26 USD $239 taxes included Leaving 8.50 am from Ezeiza international. Arriving 12.03 pm to Calafate. Argentine Airlines. Prices may vary at the time of booking. They also depend on availability. As of this morning, there were many seats available.

Shaped roughly like a tobacco leaf, 240 miles long and 85 miles wide, Taiwan is located 100 miles off the coast of southeastern China and is approximately the same size as Holland. The Portuguese named it La Isla Formosa ("beautiful island") during their occupation in 1517 and for very good reasons. The east coast has magnificent cliffs that dive straight into the ocean and mountains, many over 10,000 feet high, cover two-thirds of the island. The Jade Mountain (Yushan), for example, is the tallest peak in northeast Asia at 13,114 feet; the climate at sea level is subtropical. Taiwan Luxury Tours Taiwan has been loosely affiliated with China since the 13th century and independent since 1945. Today, Taiwan is a living showcase of Chinese culture and tradition. The best display of China's past is seen in The National Palace Museum in Taipei, reputed to be the world's greatest repository of Chinese art. Taiwan Country Highlights Taiwan Country & Its People Another of Taipei's attractions is the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, one of the most breathtaking sites in Taiwan. Jade markets, tea shops, parks and more museums also await you. Taiwan is situated in the Western Pacific about 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the southeastern coast of the Asiatic Continent. Lying midway between Korea and Japan to the north and Hong Kong and the Philippines to the south, Taiwan is a natural gateway for travelers to and within Asia. Taiwan has a total area of nearly 36,000 sq. km (14,400 sq.miles). The island is shaped roughly like a tobacco leaf, and is bisected north to south by the Central Mountain Range. About two-thirds of the island is covered with mountains with the rest made up of foothills, terraced flatlands, and coastal plains and basins. Yu Shan (Jade Mountain), the island tallest peak, towers 3,952 meters (12,966 feet) above sea level. The Tropic of Cancer crosses the southern part of Taiwan. Taiwan proper also includes the Penghu Archipelago--a group of 64 islands--and 21 other islands. Most of them are of volcanic origins, while some are formed by a mass of coral reefs. Taiwan is a stable democracy and has a strong and well-developed economy. Tourist facilities are widely available. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Passport required. Taiwan previously required that U.S. visitors to Taiwan hold passports valid for at least six months. This is no longer the case: Taiwan now considers U.S. passports valid for return to the United States for six months beyond the expiration date of the passport. For specific information about entry requirements, travelers may contact the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), 4201 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016-2137, via either its main telephone number,(202) 895-1800, or its visa section telephone number,(202) 895-1814. The main fax number at TECRO is (202) 363-0999, and the visa section fax number is (202) 895-0017. There is also an Internet address: http://www.taipei.org/teco.htm. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) also has offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Guam, Honolulu, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco and Seattle.

Taiwan Luxury Vacations & Tours Taiwan boasts a remarkable range of attractions for the visitor, as a destination in itself or in combination with one of its neighbors. Known by the Portuguese as Ihla Formosa, or beautiful island, Taiwan's natural beauty is well complemented by its temples and historically rich cities. For aficionados of Asian art, a visit to Taiwan is almost a mandatory pilgrimage. The National Palace Museum boasts one of the world's most important art collections, originally housed in Beijing's Forbidden City. Taipei's temples and bustling streets are balanced by the waterfalls and hot springs of nearby Yangminshan Park, enlivened each spring by cherry blossoms. South of Taipei, artisans' villages make for a fascinating day's excursion. On the East Coast, Taroko Gorge is a steep ravine with marble-rich cliffs and delightful pavilions. Inland, Sun Moon Lake is a lovely spot, with deep blue waters surrounded by mountains. Traditional arts thrive at Lukang, on the western coast. Traveling south, Tainan boasts a wealth of temples, befitting a city that was the island's capital for over two hundred years. At the southern tip of the island, Kenting National Park is a beautiful land of white sand beaches and exotic tropical plants.
