Tokyo Disneyland Resort Posts Unsurprising Decline

To no one’s surprise Oriental Land Company, the operating company for Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, reported a sizable revenue decline for the previous quarter. The after effects of the March 11th earthquake meant a 43% drop in revenue over the same quarter last year.

When Should Tokyo Disneyland Reopen?

Events in Japan continue to teeter on the edge of disaster. Whether you’re a villager in Northeastern Japan whose every day is a fight for the basic necessities of survival in a post-tsunami zone or a resident of Fukushima or nearby cities (including Tokyo) where you have to consider the real possibility of radioactive fallout from an explosion at the nuclear power plant, there is a lot to be worried about. There does seem to be growing hope for light at the end of the tunnel, but in the meantime, we should be keeping everyone in our thoughts and consider donations to whatever charity (preferably one that’s been vetted by Charity Navigator) moves you
