They come across as if they would do just fine with a beer, cigarette or having a picnic off to the side of a walkway. Tokyo guests are the direct opposite of the Euros. They come early and prepared all dressed up in Disney gear to an extreme. They go berserk for the Disney product.... be it a ride, show, gift or gyosa dog. They will RUN to an attraction and wait for a show for hours because they are such hardcore fans. Hong Kong, well many guests looked a bit tranquil(like they showed up out of curiosity or had a day to kill and not because they were fans) but in a different way than Paris guests. After experiencing HK's attracation lineup who can blame them.

I can't really think of anything to add unless someone follows up. Despite what some believe, I don't make it up as I go along!

I did want to see him, but it wasn't to be! Anyone know if he's working now?
