In 2024 Matt Richardson, @mattrichardson, went solo to Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, and Tokyo DisneySea and he tells us all about it! We talk about what wowed him, what underwhelmed him, and what park he thinks is best to explore solo! And spoiler: He says that language at these parks isn't as bit of a barrier as one might think! Does this entice you to go?!
