We learned some basics, hello, thank you. etc but it was never an issue Unlike in the U.K. People there are genuinely polite and nice This time we are learning some more words but I loved the fact it was so safe and clean I described it once to someone as if Disney ran a city Tokyo would be its name!

if you want to do mainly Disney then do all three in one go. We did all 3 in April in 2 weeks and also had a couple of days in Chengdu (for panda's) and a couple of days in Tokyo to do a couple of things we didn't do last time.

We did all 3 in one trip at Easter, it was our second time to Tokyo and we wondered if it would live up to how we remembered it. It did imo Tokyo Disney is hands down the best Disney theme park experience in the world.
Hong Kong was great for a couple of days, compact easy to navigate and everything easy to ride and see, plus they have the Paint the Night parade (although slightly scaled back) Shanghai had the best ride in any park imo with Pirates of the Caribbean, Tron didn't live upto my expectations, great special effects but far to short and was very tame albeit with a novel way to ride. The actual park experience as a whole package for us was the worst of any Disney park, hugely due to the other guests. Imo the place will either be trashed within 5 years or become a subsidised bottomless money pit for the Disney company. As the whole package Tokyo Disney is out of this world, at Easter we came here straight from Shanghai, talk about worlds apart, your fellow guests here put every other Disney park in the world to shame and it makes such a huge difference to enjoying your day. Tokyo DisneyLand has the best parades with Dreamlights being stunning (and I believe just upgraded) If you go around Easter or Halloween they go all out decorating the parks and put on extra parades that are all included in the normal ticket. Tokyo DisneySea is fantastic and unique and looks stunning. The only real downside is weekends are very busy, that said everyone is still polite and its not unpleasant but the lines are long. Transport from the airport to the parks was very easy, Hong Kong was a cheap Taxi ride, the same in Shanghai and in Tokyo the Limousine bus (coach) is an excellent easy option. Hong Kong I wouldn't mind going back to for a couple of days, Shanghai unless they pick the place up and move it somewhere else I'm really not bothered about going back to and Tokyo were already thinking about a 3rd trip

Fantastic information, thank you. The more I compare them the more I want to go to Tokyo? We're looking at going November/December to see the park decked out for Christmas. The things that worries me about Tokyo is the language barrier and it being expensive to eat out but given my children's ages I think they would prefer Tokyo - decisions, decisions!
