What to Do During an Earthquake:

• Tokyo Disney Resort, much like the rest of Japan, is built with safety in mind
• Cast Members will direct you as to what you should do, depending on the situation
• Announcements over the intercom will be played in English and Japanese
• Lots of hand gestures, to ensure you understand
• Stay where you are, unless told otherwise by a Cast Member
• Depending on the magnitude of the earthquake:
  • Attractions and restaurants may close for a period of time
  • Shows may be cancelled
  • Taking the train or bus from Maihama Station will be crowded from people trying to leave
  • If you have a mobile device, check Twitter and JR Websites for the latest information
• Do not panic and listen to the Cast Members
• The likelihood of a big earthquake during your visit is very minimal. You may experience small ones.
• Do not let this deter you from choosing to come to Japan. This is one of the safest counties in the world to be in if an earthquake occurs
• If you are staying at a neighbour or partner hotel your hotel bus should be running so you should not worry about getting back to your hotel.
