The Walt Disney Company is one of the largest companies in the world of filmmaking. From animated classics to modern blockbuster spectacles, Disney is behind some of the most popular and beloved films of all time. However, movies aren’t the only thing The Walt Disney Company has dipped its toes in, with Disney building an impressive suite of theme parks and Resorts located across the entire world.

The Tokyo Disney Resort is especially interesting, with two district Parks making up the Resort. The Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, Chiba, opened as Tokyo Disneyland in 1983 and was the very first Disney theme Park to be built outside of the U.S. Eventually, the Tokyo Disney Resort grew and became so popular that a second gate, Tokyo DisneySea, was added to the Resort.
