I also like the retro style of the Tokyo Disneyland guides, but I miss the bigger "booklet" style that changed with each event. Now that map is pretty much the same, and they just give you the "Today" pamphlet for events.

Originally Posted By kennect TDL, Most everything we know today as annuals started out as weeds....Spider flowere/cleome became a big thing about ten years ago...They GROW like weeds...If a single seed hits the ground you can bet that it will produce another plant....I love seeing them used in such a setting as I saw in your photo's....Please be sure to check and see if they are still there on your next visit....They can get out of control real easy....Should you want to try out some at home just let me know as I said above...They can easily be grown in pots....I literally have thousands of seeds right now.....The plant also has major thorns...Not sure why but they do.....
