Sami at the Disney Movie Classics blog has just posted a rather detailed trip report of his recent travels to Tokyo Disneyland. Comes with lots of pictures and some attraction reviews.
Rumors are again circulating about the demise of one of Disneyland’s most cherished, but least visited, attractions. Yes. The eyes of park management have turned once more toward Great Moments with Mr Lincoln and this time the famous attration’s fate may already be sealed.
