Exactly my impression. TDS does have some marvelous rides but the flawless artificial world is what you enjoy most. Every detail is perfect, even the water fountains and waste bins. My son is pretty tired of Anaheim DL but was entranced by TDS - said it reminded him of his most beautiful video game, Final Fantasy something. Even the merchandise in the stores (which in Anaheim I refer to as Disney cr@p) is unique to TDS and adorable. Moreover, it is not crowded even when Tokyo Disneyland is.
