�Tokyo Disney Resort has been an incredible success for the past twenty-five years with over 410 million guests visiting the two parks. I am delighted to announce that the resort�s owner and operator Oriental Land Company, Limited has agreed to offer Tales magazine to their guests,� Tales Publisher Lee J MacDonald begins. �Since the very beginning of Tales in 2005 we have been shipping subscriptions to our Japanese readers but from now on they will have the opportunity to purchase Tales Magazine from selected retailers within the Resort.�
�Tales Magazine has conveyed stories from the Tokyo Disney Resort since Issue 2 when we announced that a third Japanese Disney-branded hotel was to be built which was recently opened to the public,� Lee continues. �Past issues have discussed such diverse subjects as a photo-essay of the �05 summer spectaculars Disney�s Rock Around The Mouse and Aladdin�s Whole New World (Issue 3), a peek at Tokyo Disneyland�s Halloween celebrations (Issue 4), the creation of Tokyo DisneySea�s unique take on the Tower of Terror with show producer Alec Scribner (Issue 6), a sprawling piece about the development of The Legend of Mythica with creative director Steven Davison (Issues 7 and 8), the development of Tokyo DisneySea with the park�s executive producers Steve and Tim Kirk (Issue 8) and an insight into the new floats in the Tokyo Disneyland Dreamlights Electrical Parade (Issue 9).
