Tokyo Disney Resort is one of the six Disney resorts in the world, consisting of two parks being Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. These two parks, even when seen separately, rank between the top most visited theme parks in the world.

There are many reasons for its great popularity such as having the most recognizable characters, exciting attractions, and unique and tasty foods. There are even hotels within the resort where you can stay without breaking the magical atmosphere of Disney. It is also very accessible, being located in Urayasu city, Chiba prefecture, which is close from central Tokyo.

The cool thing is that even though the same events happen simultaneously at both parks, The content of the events will be different, making it even more enticing to go visit both parks.

Greetings to all mommies I am a supermom from Philippines. Previously, I worked and lived in Dubai for seven years, until 2015 the year I  moved in Japan. Currently, I am happily settled here with my Japanese husband and our 7 months old baby. I could only describe my almost 6 years of living here as a roller coaster ride more so, after I gave birth to my son. Japan had changed me in ways unimaginable. It has influence my lifestyle, my perceptions and beliefs. I was able to witness firsthand the pros and cons of living in the country. From their  language, culture and ethnicity, the people, place and in work. Those years were enough to give me quite personal and memorable experiences which I would be more than delighted to share with you.
