Trip reports of Asian Disney parks

For those interested below a list of the trip reports of the Asian Disney parks in one topic.

Why? As you might have read, I am preparing an Asian Disney trip to see all three Disney parks. And in preparation I read (pre) trip reports. Only… trip reports about Asia are spread over at least 3 boards, plus some additional trip reports in the sections of WDW TR, DL TR and Australia. I like structure and I don't like looking for things :P So here are most of them neatly organized in chronological order :)

I stole this idea from the Cruise board where they had a topic with all the Transatlantic cruise reports in one topic.

Wow, talk about comprehensive! I like how you've categorized the traveling group.

I hope you'll write a trip report and add to this list when you come back. :)

:) Thanks, it is the plan to write a trip report! I only have the tendency to abandon them after a while ;-) I still have an unfinished WDW report of 2015...

This is great!

Couple more HKDL TRs from me...

March 2013 Couples - A Naïve Aussie's TR - also encompassing DLP
March 2016 Couples - Life is a Journey (a SE Asia TR) - not much on HKDL, but some people might find the information on the Auberge Hotel useful

Thanks! I have added them to the first post. I am still collecting, also finding now trip reports in the Adventures By Disney section. The trip reports are really scattered all over the Dis ;-)
 


Wow, what a fantastic resource! I was thinking of doing something similar for myself (and was planning on posting it as well), but I never got around! So, this is very much appreciated!! I have a lot of reading to do now!

It might be worth it to make this a sticky thread for easy access. I have no idea who the moderator for this board is?
 


THanks! Now if only I can find time to read them all. I leave in under a month for all three Asian Disneys.
 
Brilliant service to readers thanks! I needed this when planning our first Asian trip. Also another one of mine from April 2012 that included Tokyo DL & D Sea (and some other spots in Japan) published in the Tokyo TR.

Ohaiyogozaimasu Japan
 
Bump!

Just FYI, the last few weeks I have 'completed' the trip reports list with everything on the Dis. Also included trip reports from outside the Dis, some blogs I found. The one from CharacterCentral.net about Shanghai is very detailed, many pictures. Have fun!

Nice work! Thanks for doing this :goodvibes
 
Fantastic list! One black g you seem to be missing is Tom Bricker's (@WDWFigment) www.disneytouristblog.com. He has several Asia trip reports on there and they are full of fantastic pictures. Lots of useful info about the Tokyo parks on the blog as well.

Thanks! I have added their Shanghai trip and at some point I will try to add their other blogs of the Asian parks. I did Shanghai now as there is not a lot of these trip reports yet.

Same for Charactercentral.net, they have several trip reports on Hong Kong and Tokyo (a little outdated perhaps, 2014 and older), but it takes some work to put them up here :)

But at least no one can say anymore that there is not enough information about Disney Asia!
 

Thank you! I have added it to the list. One question, maybe I missed it, but when I wanted to add the configuration of your group (as I did with the others), I wasn't sure how to 'label' your group. On the first page you say you were there for a conference, so are you and Kelly colleagues, are you a couple or friends? If you don't want to share, I will leave it out :) I only added it with the others as the wants & needs of a family with young children are very different from a group of adults. It makes it easier to scan which trip reports are most relevant.

Also added @cschaaf & @DisneyRegulars report.
