東京領隊日記2026(三)東京迪士尼 - 陸地海洋大比拼

行程的第二天,是時候開往迪士尼了。作為一個盡責的Blogger,是想停下來,先處理一些「常見問題」。


無論是東京還是迪士尼的討論區‥‥‥

「東京迪士尼海洋還是陸地?」我敢說這是一個最常見的問題。

最常見的答案是「二個都好」,或是「東京迪士尼海洋只此一家」、或是「海洋的機動遊戲較刺激」等。這些回應都有一定道理,但個人覺得回應就是有點籠統。

作為一個去了香港迪士尼過百次,東京迪士尼陸地去了四次、東京迪士尼海洋也去了兩次的遊客,我嘗試不單以香港人的眼光,也試試從海外遊客的眼光,去比較陸地海洋兩者(香港迪士尼則作參考之用)希望對正為二取其一而煩惱的旅客帶來一點意見與幫助。

(兩個樂園的最後表演都欣賞過,都是非常精彩。海洋的海灣、陸地的城堡煙花光影秀都是十分宏觀。)

為免整篇文章都充滿迪士尼、迪士尼、迪士尼…..以下會簡稱「陸地」「海洋」。而且項目名稱會以大家明白的名稱簡述,未必會引用官方的全名(容許我的懶惰)。另外,以下比較盡量抽起了個人對某角色的喜好,比較重點在於遊戲體驗、觀賞性與刺激度等相對客觀的角度。另外為了控制文章的長度,我把更難比較的食物質素與表演完全刪去,畢竟我跟小朋友的格言是——「主題樂園永遠都是玩優先、食其次」

比拼一:最具話題性項目 - 打和


陸地最具人氣的肯定是「美女與野獸」海洋則是新區夢幻泉鄉「魔雪奇緣」。兩者同樣是以華麗的視覺與華麗的特效作為賣點,所以我會視兩者為同等水平。

比拼二:過山車項目 - 打和


(忿怒雙神)

(巨雷山)

陸地巨雷山有點像香港迪士尼的灰熊山谷海洋忿怒雙神亦是受歡迎的過山車項目。

比拼三:人氣爆燈的互動遊戲 - 打和


(怪獸公司,攝於2017。想當年的我真夠年青,還記得玩過後小兒嚷著要買支電筒留念。)

(TOY STORY MANIA!)

個人覺得有互動性的遊戲項目比華麗的熱門遊戲更有趣。海洋反斗奇兵陸地怪獸公司便是這一類。

前者是以玩具槍射擊計分為賣點,陸地的怪獸公司設定更特別,以電筒照射怪獸為攻擊模式。前者畫質較佳,後者創意爆燈,各有千秋。

比拼四 - 迷離項目 - 打和

海洋的迷離項目是跳樓機形式的古堡驚魂Tower of Terror陸地的是歷史悠久的熱門項目幽靈公館Haunted Manson。前者是少許恐怖加跳樓機的刺激體驗,後者賣點是幽靈般的奇幻視覺效果,認識有點像香港迪士尼的迷離莊園。刺激與影像,各有所好,所以都是Super打和。

比拼五 - 效果與視覺式冒險項目 - 海洋勝

(NEMO & FRIENDS)

(STAR TOUR)

海洋Nemo & Friend 是深海探險之旅,陸地Star Tour顧名思義就是太空之旅。後者與香港迪士尼的鐵甲奇俠之旅有點相似。故Nemo有較新鮮的體驗。

比拼六 - 次要的熱門項目 - 打和

長髮公主Rapunzel's Lantern Festival

(飛濺山 - 一家四口一致認為它是全陸地最好玩的。)

(加勒比海盜)

海洋新區夢幻泉鄉中,Frozen以外的長髮公主Rapunzel小飛俠夢幻島都是非常有趣的項目。前者賣點在於還原故事的經典場景,後者的3D效果達新一代的高水平。除此之外,更有一個「翱翔:夢幻奇航」的飛行體驗項目。陸地能與之抗衡的重點項目為飛濺山加勒比海盜乘船遊。前者多次下衝的滑浪飛船體驗,令他成為歷久不衰的經典遊戲,後者的海盜場景,氣氛營造不錯。另外,明日世界的杯麵駕車體驗Baymax’s Happy Ride亦受大人小朋友喜愛。

比拼七 - 傳統項目 - 海洋勝

(印第安(奪寶奇兵)乘車遊)

(阿拉丁3D SHOW)

陸地的小飛俠)

海洋中地心探險記、海底兩萬里、燈神的3D show、會弄濕身的水戰項目、印第安(奪寶奇兵)乘車遊都有香港迪士尼找不到的樂趣。陸地的小飛俠,雖然是個效果不錯、白雪公主亦有「驚」喜、但小木偶小熊維尼小小世界等等,都是迪士尼最典型的乘車乘船參觀迪士尼人物的基本項目,對在其他國家迪士尼有體驗過的遊客來說少了點新鮮感。

比拼八 - 迪士尼氛圍 - 陸地勝

海洋的迪士尼氣氛一向都遠不及陸地,但隨着夢幻泉鄉區的建立,海洋的迪士尼氣氛增添了不少。但整體的迪士尼感覺還是以陸地較佳。園區有大量以迪士尼人物主題的拍照景點,令嬰兒與幼童仍可樂在其中,所以對迪士尼的傳統忠粉來說,還是以陸地的體驗較好。

比拼九 - 幼童遊戲項目 - 打和

這個結論需要解釋一下。陸地的兒童向項目如旋轉木馬、咖啡杯等,項目數量肯定比海洋多,只是海洋的兒童專區屬於全室內,對在炎炎夏日中的小孩來說絕對是(家長更是)一個福音,作為在主題樂園有豐富照顧幼兒經驗的我來說,也許後者的硬件配備更為吸引。

比拼十 - 小朋友玩家意見 - 打和


仔:「海洋較好玩。因為整體比較刺激。而且我們去陸地的當天怪獸公司關閉,令陸地更比下去。」

女:「陸地較好玩,迪士尼氣氛比較強烈。」

歸納以上十點比拼

比拼一:最具話題性項目 - 打和

比拼二:過山車項目 - 打和

比拼三:人氣爆燈的互動遊戲 - 打和

比拼四 - 迷離項目 - 打和

比拼五 - 效果與視覺式冒險項目 - 海洋勝

比拼六 - 次要的熱門項目 - 打和

比拼七 - 傳統項目 - 海洋勝

比拼八 - 迪士尼氛圍 - 陸地勝

比拼九 - 幼童遊戲項目 - 打和

比拼十 - 小朋友玩家意見 - 打和

海洋 2 vs 陸地 1

作為盡責的Blogger的結論是:「海洋整體體驗較佳,而且是世上獨一無二。尤其是當你已經去過其他國家的陸地的時侯,它會讓你體驗許多新鮮事。」

不過,2024年才到過海洋,是次將要去的是陸地

下一篇將會介紹一下迪士尼陸地的基本資料及準備功夫。

Tokyo Travel Diary 2026 (Part 3) – Disneyland vs DisneySea Ultimate Showdown

Day 2 of the trip, and it was finally time to head to Disney. As a dedicated blogger, I want to pause and address some frequently asked questions.

Whether on Tokyo or Disney forums, the same question keeps popping up:

Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea? I dare say this is the most common question of all.

Popular answers usually go along the lines of “Both are great”, “Tokyo DisneySea is unique”, or “DisneySea’s rides are more thrilling”. There is truth to these responses, yet I feel they remain rather general.

I have visited Hong Kong Disneyland over a hundred times, Tokyo Disneyland four times, and Tokyo DisneySea twice. I aim to compare the two parks not only from the perspective of a Hong Kong visitor, but also international tourists, with Hong Kong Disneyland as a reference. I hope this write-up can offer useful advice for travelers struggling to pick one park.

I have watched the evening spectaculars at both parks, and both are absolutely stunning. The harbour show at DisneySea and the castle fireworks & projection show at Disneyland are spectacular in their own ways.

To avoid repeating “Disneyland” endlessly, I will simply refer to them as Land and Sea below. Attraction names will be written using common nicknames rather than official full titles.

In addition, I have set aside my personal fondness for specific characters. This comparison focuses on relatively objective factors: ride experience, visual appeal and thrill level. To keep this article concise, I will not cover food quality and stage shows — after all, my motto together with my children is: At theme parks, rides come first, food second.

Round 1: Iconic Headline Attractions – Draw

The undisputed fan favorite at Land is Beauty and the Beast, while Sea’s standout is Frozen in the new Fantasy Springs district. Both attractions rely on magnificent visuals and stunning special effects, so I rate them equally.

Round 2: Roller Coasters – Draw

(Raging Spirits)

Big Thunder Mountain

Big Thunder Mountain at Land shares similarities with Grizzly Gulch in Hong Kong Disneyland, while Raging Spirits is another popular roller coaster at Sea.

Round 3: Hit Interactive Rides – Draw

(Monsters, Inc., photographed in 2017. I was so young back then; I still remember my little one clamoring to buy an expensive flashlight as a souvenir after the ride.)

(TOY STORY MANIA!)

Personally, interactive attractions are more entertaining than grand blockbuster rides. Toy Story Mania! at Sea and Monsters, Inc. at Land fall into this category.

Toy Story Mania! challenges riders with target shooting via toy cannons. Monsters, Inc. features a more original concept: shining torches to scare monsters. The former boasts superior graphics, while the latter shines with brilliant creativity. Each has its merits.

Round 4: Spooky Themed Attractions – Draw

Sea’s haunted ride is the drop-tower attraction, Tower of Terror. Land’s classic long-running dark ride is the Haunted Mansion.

Tower of Terror delivers mild horror paired with drop-tower thrills. Haunted Mansion offers ethereal, magical visual effects, somewhat reminiscent of Hong Kong Disneyland’s Mystic Manor. Some prefer adrenaline, others immersive visuals — so this round ends as a solid draw.

Round 5: Visual Adventure Rides – WIN: DisneySea

Nemo & Friends SeaRider at Sea takes guests on an underwater expedition, while Star Tours at Land is a space journey. Star Tours bears some resemblance to Hong Kong Disneyland’s Iron Man Experience. Nemo & Friends delivers a fresher experience.

Round 6: Secondary Popular Attractions – Draw

Rapunzel's Lantern Festival

(Splash Mountain – the family of four unanimously agreed it was the most fun attraction in the entire land.)

Within Fantasy Springs at Sea, alongside Frozen, Rapunzel's Lantern Festival and Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure are fantastic experiences. Rapunzel’s ride faithfully recreates iconic scenes from the fairy tale, while Peter Pan boasts cutting-edge 3D visuals. There is also Soaring: Fantastic Flight, a flying theater attraction.

Land’s comparable flagship rides are Splash Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean. Splash Mountain’s repeated plunges have cemented its status as an enduring classic. Pirates of the Caribbean builds wonderful atmospheric scenes. The Tomorrowland attraction, Baymax’s Happy Ride, is also loved by children and adults alike.

Round 7: Classic Dark Rides – WIN: DisneySea

DisneySea features experiences unavailable at Hong Kong Disneyland: Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Aladdin’s 3D show, interactive water rides, and Indiana Jones Adventure.

Land’s Peter Pan’s Flight delivers decent effects, and Snow White’s Adventures holds "a few surprises". However, attractions such as Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, Winnie the Pooh and It’s a Small World are standard Disney boat rides showcasing animated characters. Visitors who have experienced Disney parks overseas will find them lacking novelty.

Round 8: Disney Atmosphere – WIN: Tokyo Disneyland

DisneySea has always been less immersed in classic Disney ambiance compared to Land. The opening of Fantasy Springs has boosted its Disney vibe significantly, yet Land still takes the lead overall.

The park is filled with photo spots themed around Disney characters, keeping toddlers and young children entertained. For long-time Disney fans, Land offers a stronger traditional Disney atmosphere.

Round 9: Young Children’s Rides – Draw

Some explanation for this result. Land has more child-friendly attractions such as carousels and Mad Tea Party. However, Sea’s kids’ zone is fully indoor — a huge relief for children (and parents) under scorching summer heat. With plenty of experience supervising young children at theme parks, I find Sea’s indoor facilities quite appealing.

Round 10: Young Visitors’ Verdict – Draw

Son: “DisneySea is more fun. It has more thrilling rides overall. Plus, Monsters, Inc. was closed on our day at Land, making Land feel even less impressive.”

Daughter: “I prefer Disneyland. It has a stronger Disney atmosphere.”

Summary of the ten rounds

Round 1: Iconic Attractions – Draw

Round 2: Roller Coasters – Draw

Round 3: Interactive Rides – Draw

Round 4: Spooky Attractions – Draw

Round 5: Visual Adventure Rides – DisneySea Win

Round 6: Secondary Popular Attractions – Draw

Round 7: Classic Rides – DisneySea Win

Round 8: Disney Atmosphere – Tokyo Disneyland Win

Round 9: Kids’ Facilities – Draw

Round 10: Children’s Opinions – Draw

DisneySea: 2 wins | Tokyo Disneyland: 1 win

My conclusion as a dedicated blogger:

DisneySea delivers the stronger overall experience and is one-of-a-kind worldwide. Especially if you have visited other Disney castle parks, it offers countless brand-new experiences.

That said, I visited DisneySea back in 2024, and this trip will be my return to Tokyo Disneyland.

My next post will cover essential information and preparation tips for Tokyo Disneyland.

Tokyo Travel Diary 2026 (Part 2) – Arrival: The Hotel in Ueno

 16th July 2026 (Thursday)

After a year, the night view of Ueno came into my sight once again. Dragging luggage through the bustling Ameya-Yokocho, I felt that familiar contrast between tourists and local residents.

Tabist Hotel Ueno 39 is just a 4 to 5-minute walk from Keisei Ueno Station. Without clear directions from Google Maps, we might have missed the discreet entrance shared by the hotel and a restaurant.

“I am not hotel staff.” the restaurant counter staff talked to me before I finished my question. I guessed he has practiced this sentence many times.

The tiny reception desk was empty, only a telephone with a message notice left behind. We arrived well after 10 p.m., and a moment of panic crept in — would we end up stranded outdoors? Fortunately, someone answered the call.

Nestled in central Ueno with a modest facade, I did not hold high expectations for the room quality. Last year, my wife and I stayed at APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae, a compact yet fully equipped property. That was why I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the rooms at Tabist Hotel turned out to be.

(Our stay at APA was also enjoyable. You can read the full post here: 

Tokyo Again 2025 (3) -APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae - with Movie)

(Spacious room with a side area suitable for dining)

(Equipped with a washing machine and microwave oven)


(Ample wall hooks, which I really appreciate)

(Quad room with plenty of power sockets and USB ports beside every bed)

(Despite its small size, the hotel reception offers temporary luggage storage)

Below is a summary of the pros and cons of Tabist Hotel Ueno 39:

Pros:

(JR station is visible straight ahead when you turn right upon leaving the hotel)

1. Unbeatable location — Situated in the Ameya-Yokocho district, a 3-minute walk to Ueno JR and Metro stations, and also 3 minutes to Keisei Ueno Station for the Skyliner airport express.

2. Space — Rooms are roomy enough for four guests.

3. Facilities — Washing machine, microwave oven and bathtub are all available.

4. Service — Staff are limited in number yet friendly and helpful. Mandarin-speaking staff are on site.

5. Sound insulation — Noise is inevitable in busy Ueno, but rooms on the 4th floor and above generally offer decent soundproofing from my experience.

6. Only three rooms per floor, twelve rooms in total across the whole hotel, creating a quiet atmosphere.

7. An okonomiyaki restaurant connected to the building (operated independently from the hotel) serves outstanding wagyu okonomiyaki, highly recommended.

Cons:

1. While it delivers great value for money, service resources are inevitably limited. Bins and towels are replaced daily, but full room cleaning takes place only once every three days.

(Collect the trash can and used towels outside the door before leaving each day; staff will replace them.)

2. Noise issues may affect guests staying on lower floors.

3. There is only one hotel elevator. A slight rubbish odour can linger inside when cleaning takes place at night.

4. No security barriers in the lobby or elevator area, meaning outsiders can enter freely in theory. (Personally though, tourists can travel with peace of mind in Japan.)

We finished our meal at the okonomiyaki restaurant past midnight. I hurried the children off to bed — a gruelling packed itinerary awaits us tomorrow!
