* '''Tokyo Disney Resort''': Opened with Tokyo Disneyland in 1983 in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan (east of Tokyo), it is the first (and only) franchise Disney resort, owned and operated by the Oriental Land Company rather than by Disney itself. Some additions such as Pooh's Honey Hunt and the companion park, Tokyo [=DisneySea=], have become some of Disney Imagineering's most lavishly praised creations. The current Fantasyland expansion, which contains the first ever animatronic dark ride based on ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', opened in September of 2020. Tokyo [=DisneySea=] opened in 2001 and contains seven themed ports instead of lands; Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, Port Discovery, Lost River Delta, [[Franchise/{{Aladdin}} Arabian Coast]], [[Franchise/TheLittleMermaid Mermaid Lagoon]], and [[Creator/JulesVerne Mysterious Island]]. Mysterious Island contains the park's icon, Mount Prometheus, which itself contains the ride ''Literature/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth''. An eighth themed port, Fantasy Springs, based on ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', was announced in 2018, and will open in 2023. Tokyo Disneyland has several oddities compared to other Disneyland-style parks; for example, their Jungle Cruise goes in the other direction than Disneyland and Magic Kingdom's, and the Western River Railroad doesn't circle the park due to Japanese railway regulations at the time of opening stating that trains with more than one stop absolutely had to adhere to a schedule, use fully-enclosed passenger cars, and charge fares, so the railroad only stops in Adventureland and goes through Westernland (Frontierland renamed for Japanese audiences) and Critter Country; said regulations have since been repealed, but there's no room to build out the railroad to circle the park.

* '''[[Ride/DisneylandParis]]''' (formerly known as Euro Disney Resort and later Disneyland Resort Paris): Opened in 1992, and going for an even more elaborate look (as well as DarkerAndEdgier for some attractions). Located in the Parisian suburb of Marne-la-Vallée, it includes two theme parks; the original one is now known as Disneyland Park and a second opened in 2002, known as Walt Disney Studios Park. After opening, the park was [[AmericansHateTingle hated by the French people]][[invoked]], who opposed the poor (by French standards, anyway) working conditions there and viewed it as an example of [[EaglelandOsmosis American cultural imperialism]]. The initial backlash made the park a notorious financial failure at first, being the main reason why numerous theme park projects worldwide in the '90s were cancelled. After the resort slowly started to pick up some steam, largely thanks in part to an acclaimed variation of ''Space Mountain'', the opening of Walt Disney Studios Park proved to bomb just as spectacularly at first, though it eventually gained some legs after the opening of Toy Story Playland and a ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}''-inspired miniarea. Despite the initial hostility, today the resort has some of the largest attendance numbers of any European tourist destination (rivaled only by Ride/EuropaPark and Ride/{{Efteling}}), and has started to make a profit after Disney bought most of the shares of the resort and started the ambitious Project Sparkle, a refurbishment project that spans both parks and the hotels and that will culminate with a [[https://wdwnt.com/2018/03/depth-look-ambitious-expansion-plans-walt-disney-studios-paris/ massive expansion of the second gate Walt Disney Studios Park featuring new areas inspired on Star Wars, Marvel and Frozen]]. The complex has seven hotels and a shopping and eating district similar to WDW's Disney Springs called Disney Village, although much smaller in size.

Obvious Beta is YMMV now, and I don't think they count if they're not open to the public.


* ObviousBeta: Whenever the parks are undergoing major refurbishment, such as California Adventure from 2007 to 2012 or Hollywood Studios from 2016 to 2019, it can feel like you've stepped into one of these. California Adventure even earned the derisive nicknames "Wall Street, USA" and "Disney's Construction Adventure" during its refurbishment.

Hong Kong's original castle was actually the exact same size as California's. In fact, it was an exact 1-1 copy. It only appeared smaller than California's because the mountains that tower over Hong Kong Disneyland's north end contradicted with the intended forced perspective of the original 1955 design. Being an exact copy of the original Disney theme park castle design, this Special Effect Failure only made said design's small size compared to all the Disney castles that succeeded it more apparent.


* '''Hong Kong Disneyland Resort''': Opened in 2005, its park is very close in design to the original Disneyland, though it's much smaller and only has a few of the iconic Disney attractions, due mainly to budget issues and a notable TroubledProduction.[[invoked]] Nonetheless, it's gained notoriety for, in essence, having the exact ''opposite'' problems that Euro-Disney did. However, Disney embarked on a large expansion project that brought unique attractions to the park, some being new twists on old favorites. The expansion includes Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Carts, which is a twist on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The story goes that miners discovered gold in the mountain on 1888, complete with friendly bears. Now, it's your turn to take a ride through the mine... The expansion also includes a ''Franchise/ToyStory'' themed land, which is themed to look like Andy's toys in the grass of his backyard, and a LighterAndSofter twist on ''Ride/TheHauntedMansion'' (due to the culture difference of the Chinese not liking ghosts due to their reverence for their ancestors), set inside a Victorian-era mansion in the jungle belonging to AdventurerArchaeologist Lord Henry Mystic and his pet monkey, Albert. Lord Mystic's just gotten back from another archaeological expedition and brought back an [[ArtifactOfDoom enchanted music box]]. Then one day, Albert opens the music box and the artifacts in the mansion come to life... Hong Kong's notable for being the only park that has completely changed its castle, transforming it from a ''even smaller'' copy of Sleeping Beauty's castle in Anaheim to a new one inspired by Shanghai's Enchanted Storybook Castle.

** California Adventure, while not strictly adhering to this rule, themes most of its lands to match a particular decade. Starting with the 1920s-themed Buena Vista Street, the architecture slowly works into the 1930s-themed Hollywoodland, with the Carthay Circle bridging the gap between them. Opposite to Hollywoodland is Grizzly Peak, which takes design cues from the 1940s (most apparent in its interior design). Pixar Pier, at the far end of the park, is inspired by boardwalks of the early 1900s; next door is Cars Land, which carries the same 1960s design aesthetics as [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} its inspiration]].

** The Audio-Animatronic figures have become ''incredibly'' sophisticated, even within the last few years. Early figures were basically statues (see: most of the Fantasyland dark rides) and made loud clacking noises whenever they moved (anyone who's been to the ''Enchanted Tiki Room'' can attest to this). Nowadays, they are incredibly lifelike in both appearance and movement, and the Spider-Man "stuntronic" in ''Avengers C.A.M.P.U.S.'' can swing through the air and even do ''flips''. Projections within Animatronics also allow for even more expressive faces, such as on the cars in ''Radiator Springs Racers'' and Elsa, Anna, and company in ''Frozen Ever After''.

** World Showcase Adventure's third (and as of this writing, current) theme, based off ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', had the misfortune of becoming this shortly before ''and'' shortly after opening.

* '''Hong Kong Disneyland Resort''': Opened in 2005, its park is very close in design to the original Disneyland, though it's much smaller and only has a few of the iconic Disney attractions, due mainly to budget issues and a notable TroubledProduction.[[invoked]] Nonetheless, it's gained notoriety for, in essence, having the exact ''opposite'' problems that Euro-Disney did. However, Disney embarked on a large expansion project that brought unique attractions to the park, some being new twists on old favorites. The expansion includes Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Carts, which is a twist on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The story goes that miners discovered gold in the mountain on 1888, complete with friendly bears. Now, it's your turn to take a ride through the mine... The expansion also includes a ''Franchise/ToyStory'' themed land, which is themed to look like Andy's toys in the grass of his backyard, and a LighterAndSofter twist on Ride/TheHauntedMansion (due to the culture difference of the Chinese not liking ghosts due to their reverence for their ancestors), set inside a Victorian-era mansion in the jungle belonging to AdventurerArchaeologist Lord Henry Mystic and his pet monkey, Albert. Lord Mystic's just gotten back from another archaeological expedition and brought back an [[ArtifactOfDoom enchanted music box]]. Then one day, Albert opens the music box and the artifacts in the mansion come to life... Hong Kong's notable for being the only park that has completely changed its castle, transforming it from a ''even smaller'' copy of Sleeping Beauty's castle in Anaheim to a new one inspired by Shanghai's Enchanted Storybook Castle.

The parks are a rich well of [[AffectionateParody Affectionate]] (or not) Parody Fuel, often in the form of SouvenirLand. Some of the most popular attractions have even been adapted into movies, with ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' being the most successful of them, but also including ''Film/TowerOfTerror'', ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'' and its [[Film/HauntedMansion2023 reboot]], ''Film/TheCountryBears'', ''Film/{{Tomorrowland}}'' and ''Film/JungleCruise''. There's also ''Film/EscapeFromTomorrow'', a black-and-white indie horror film shot guerrilla-style at Disneyland and Disney World without the company's permission, ''Film/TheFurtherAdventuresOfWaltsFrozenHead'', a color indie sci-fi comedy film also shot guerrilla style at the Magic Kingdom, and ''WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera'', a review web show shot in the parks.

** As of late, the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse has become a similar cash cow (even though they legally aren't allowed to use most of the characters in the Floridian and Japanese parks, due to Ride/UniversalStudios' existing contracts). ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', in particular, became the basis of the first Marvel-themed attraction at the American parks, with ''Ride/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyMissionBreakout'' replacing the beloved ''Tower of Terror'' in California. The series is heavily marketed at Disney World, especially, since it's one of the few properties they are allowed to use in Florida under Universal's contract.

*** Shanghai eschews all of the typical lands associated with Disney's "castle" parks except for Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. For example, the entrance is "Mickey Avenue", while the hub is based on the Chinese zodiac and is known as the "Gardens of Imagination". Even Tomorrowland lacks the iconic ''Space Mountain'', instead having a high-tech ''TRON Lightcycle Power Run'' coaster take its place.

* AdaptationalModesty: In most WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse-related media, Mickey's IconicOutfit usually consists of little more than red shorts and a pair of yellow shoes. In the parks, however, Mickey rarely wears his classic outfit outside of special events and briefly in Hollywood Studios' version of ''Theatre/{{Fantasmic}}''. Instead, he is depicted as a SharpDressedMan by default, with his attire consisting of a black tuxedo, a yellow bow tie, long red pants, and black shoes. Disney has not provided an official answer for Mickey's more formal appearance in the parks.


Added DiffLines:

* SharpDressedMan: Mickey's default attire in the parks is a black tuxedo with a yellow bow tie and long red pants, effectively being a more formal and sharply dressed take on his IconicOutfit. Beyond his default suit, Disney also tends to give him a unique suit for special events and {{milestone celebration}}s that usually fits in with the event's theme and aesthetic.

** Averted with non-child guests. Anyone over the age of fourteen is not allowed to enter the parks if they are wearing Disney character costumes. The reasoning is two-fold: the first being that they don't want to confuse kids about who is a cast member and who isn't. Say little Johnny gets separated from his parents and was told by them if he gets lost to find someone who works there, they want him to be able to find someone who actually is a cast member and not a {{stranger|Danger}}. The other is for fear they would be mistaken for (and thus compete with) the official characters whom they pay by other guests for photos, signatures, and such (this did lay down some extra rules for Anime Expo the one year it was at Disneyland; see FanConvention below). The exceptions for adults are during the Halloween parties as well as all day on Halloween day. Cue the [[http://disneybound.tumblr.com/ DisneyBound]] phenomenon, in which fans visit the parks wearing outfits that vaguely resemble character costumes without replicating them. This rule also doesn’t exist in Tokyo since Disney doesn’t own the resort.
