Or of high-school age---it seems to be a fairly popular destination for
school trips. Dunno why... maybe it's considered safe and educational? 

"Educational"? Yup--one time we went there we were pestered constantly
by a very large number of high-school kids who seemed to have been taken
to Disneyland because there were bound to be lots of gaigin there who
would be absolutely delighted to keep repeating the answers to the same
questions read in katakana-ese off hand-written sheets (presumably
copied off the blackboard). "Haroo" "Can I talk wiz you?" "Where you
from?" "How long Japan?" "Do you like Japan?" "Can you eat natto?" "Can
you sleep on floor?" etc....
