A Bridal Perspective: A Comprehensive Comparison of the Allure of Two Disney Resorts in America, Popular for Honeymoons!
2019.03.25 published
In America, there are two Disney resorts ♩
You all know that there are two resorts in the birthplace of Disney, America, right?♡
One is the world's first Disney resort located in Anaheim, California, which opened in 1955*
The other is Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, which opened in 1971 and is the largest in the world*
These two dreamlands in America are overflowing with a different kind of freedom and happiness compared to Japan,
making them incredibly popular honeymoon destinations for newlyweds ♡
Comparing the charms of the two resorts from a honeymoon perspective!
While Japan has two parks, Disneyland and DisneySea, both are located next to each other in Maihama, so two days is sufficient to enjoy them*
In contrast, the two Disney resorts in America are located in faraway states, so if you're planning a honeymoon (it would be awesome to visit both...!), the reality is that you'll have to choose one due to time and budget constraints.
Therefore, this time, we'll introduce the charms of American Disney through the lens of a honeymoon perspective for each resort*
First, let's start with the world's first Disney resort in California ♡
Charm of California Disney ① Close to Japan
California is located on the West Coast of the United States, so it takes about 10 to 12 hours by direct flight from Tokyo♡
In contrast, traveling to Florida takes about 18 to 20 hours with one layover since there are no direct flights.
After all, having a direct flight that's closer to Japan is physically and mentally more reassuring and pleasant, right?♩
California is particularly recommended in terms of travel time!*
Charm of California Disney ② The castle is Sleeping Beauty's
When thinking of Disney's symbol, Cinderella's castle often comes to mind in Japan, but
California Disneyland's castle is designed after Sleeping Beauty's♡
The pink walls and light blue roof are incredibly cute*
It's a sight you can't see in Japan, making it very special♩ (By the way, Florida has the same Cinderella castle as Japan.)
Charm of California Disney ③ You can visit two parks in one day
California Disneyland has two theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park*
It's similar to Disneyland and DisneySea in Japan, but
remarkably, there are tickets that allow unlimited access back and forth between the two parks in one day♩
Being able to freely move between the two parks is an experience you can't have in Japan, so the fun doubles!
If you visit Disneyland in Anaheim, you absolutely must buy this ticket!♡
Charm of California Disney ④ The World of Color is incredibly moving
Lastly, let me introduce the main feature of California Disneyland, the "World of Color" show in front of Mickey's Ferris wheel*
It’s a show that features projection mapping on fountains rising high from the water, and it is so moving that once you see it, you'll never forget it for the rest of your life♡
I have seen this show in person before, and despite not being able to catch every word in English, I was moved by every scene that entered my sight and ended up crying right there...!
I thought I would surely feel deeply happy if I could watch this show together with my beloved during my honeymoon♡
Next, let's introduce the charms of Disney World in Orlando, Florida*
Charm of Florida Disney ① It's incredibly large, way too large
The first feature of Florida Disney that I want to introduce is how incredibly vast it is!
There are four theme parks, and it is said to have an area about twice that of a full loop of the Yamanote line ♩
With such a large area, there are plenty of attractions and dining options!
Florida Disney offers endless enjoyment, enough to keep you entertained for five consecutive days!♡
Charm of Florida Disney ② There's a Rapunzel area
The Disney princess Rapunzel is very popular among brides♡
The only place in the world where there is an area themed around Rapunzel is Florida!
Lanterns adorned with the sun emblem decorate the area, making you feel like you've stepped into the real world of Rapunzel... ♩
It's said that many people visit Florida Disney just to go to this area!♡
Charm of Florida Disney ③ You can buy wedding ear hats
The Disney ear hats that started selling in Japan last year♡
Here at Florida Disney, you can purchase Mickey and Minnie wedding versions that aren't available in Japan* (By the way, they are available at Hong Kong Disneyland too.)
They embroider your name when you buy it, so you’ll want to use it as a photo item for after you return home and take pictures♩
It seems like it would become a lifelong treasure!♡
Charm of Florida Disney ④ Plenty of on-site hotels
Lastly, the charm of Florida Disney is how many on-site hotels there are♡
Moreover, guests who stay at these on-site hotels receive a wristband called a MagicBand upon check-in*
This MagicBand acts as your hotel room key, park ticket, fast pass, and wallet!
This allows you to enjoy the park without carrying unnecessary luggage, making it a stress-free experience♩
I want to go to both Disney resorts in America! ♡
How was it?* We introduced the charms of the two Disney resorts in America!
No matter which one you go to, you are sure to have a happy and wonderful time ♩
Discuss with your loved one and be sure to visit the Disney resort you prefer, whether it’s California or Florida!♡
