    Well, since we can post pics now (nice!), I thought it might be fun to play the "Where in?" game here in the Tokyo section.

    First right answer wins, er...well, appreciation I guess. :D

    Care to venture a guess, @Doobie?

    Having never been to Tokyo, I don't have a clue. Somewhere in the American Waterfront?

    I was going to guess Hightower Hotel but I'm not very confident in that.

    And now that I see your response to Doobie I'm even less confident.

    The style looks more like something from an earlier era, so I would guess it's somewhere in TDL, not TDS. The top left looks like the edge of a staircase, but I can't think of where it would be. Based on the theme, is it somewhere in Westernland?

    Color scheme seems more like Adventureland. I would guess this is from the queue of Pirates of the Caribbean.

    @FerretAfros - a good guess but nope.

    @NGrey, you're the winner! It is indeed from the spill-off queue in Pirates. :cool:

    Since I rarely even get to go through that line I felt compelled to take a pic.

    Well played!

    Is that inside the Great American Waffle Company in World Bazaar? I've never been inside, but it seems like a logical place for all those waffle irons

    Well played Ferret!

    You guessed correctly.

    Fun side-note, since the waffle restaurant is on the side of World Bazaar, and Pirates is just on the edge of Adventureland, the two pics above were shot just about 10-15 paces or so from each other. ;)

    Last one for now, and then I'll leave others to take over the mantle until I have a chance to do some shooting around Urayasu again...

    Is that part of the annual(?) parade that the city does, that TDR participates in? I vaguely remember seeing something about that a while back, similar to the Halloween parade in Anaheim that Disney occasionally gets involved with

    It's not annual, but you're mostly correct. However, there is a particular connection to the TDR in this picture. Anyone care to guess what that might be?

    It's opening next month.

    Based on that hint, I would guess the Palm & Fountain Terrace Hotel that is being rebranded.

    Correct! I also would've accepted the Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel.
