Tokyo
DisneySea Park is a richly imaginative world
of adventure, romance, discovery and fun-a celebration
of the myths and realities of the sea in the grand tradition
of Disney family entertainment. The second Disney Park
in Japan, and the first Disney Park to be inspired by
legends of the sea, Tokyo DisneySea is located adjacent
to the popular Tokyo Disneyland Park,
on the shores of Tokyo Bay.
Upon entering the
Park, guests will see the DisneySea AquaSphere,
a unique, globe-shaped sculpture and fountain which represents
our Earth, the "water planet." Symbolizing the ocean-themed
adventures waiting inside the Park, the AquaSphere will
amaze viewers with dynamic cascades of water that flow
down and around the globe, mysteriously clinging to its
surface.
Beyond the entrance,
guests will find seven, distinct "ports of call." Mediterranean
Harbor offers the old-world charm of a romantic
southern European seaport, while American Waterfront nostalgically
showcases the harbors of New York and Cape Cod at the beginning
of the 20th century. Across the horizons of time, the futuristic
marina of Port Discovery celebrates the
adventure and excitement of new frontiers in the sea and
sky. Guests will confront ancient perils and hidden mysteries
in the jungles of Lost River Delta and
encounter Aladdin and his playful Genie pal when they explore
the exotic enchantment of The Arabian Nights along the
shores of Arabian Coast. The whimsical "under
the sea" world of Ariel from the classic Disney animated
film The Little Mermaid (1989) comes alive in Mermaid
Lagoon. And deep within the smoldering volcano
of Mysterious Island, guests will discover
portals to fantastic adventures with the legendary Captain
Nemo.
The exciting adventures
and romantic tales to be found at these seven ports of
call are brought to life in a variety of unique attractions.
When guests board StormRider in Port Discovery,
they will experience all the thrills of soaring high above
the clouds and diving into the eye of a storm. Indiana
Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull in
Lost River Delta takes visitors on a perilous journey through
the secret corridors of a foreboding Central American pyramid.
Guests can board boats in Arabian Coast and join the famous
sailor, Sindbad, on a storybook journey of his treacherous
travels in Sindbad's Story Book Voyages. In Mysterious Island, guests will discover hidden wonders
of the ocean in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and
embark on a thrilling adventure far below an active volcano
in Journey to the Center of the Earth.
In addition to many
attractions, Tokyo DisneySea also features dazzling live
entertainment and events, distinctive fine dining and unique
shopping opportunities. Guests will also enjoy encounters
with the world-famous Disney characters, including Mickey
Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck, as well as the Genie
from the Disney animated feature film Aladdin (1992), and
Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
Another unique aspect
of Tokyo DisneySea is a richly themed, luxury hotel located
inside the Park. Situated on the Park's main waterfront
in Mediterranean Harbor, the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel
MiraCosta offers breathtaking views of the Park
and Tokyo Bay. As an integral part of the overall experience,
the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta allows guests to continue "living
the dream" by staying overnight in the Park's adventure-filled
world.
The two Disney Parks
complement and enhance each other. The foundation for Tokyo
Disneyland remains the traditional, classic Disney stories
of fantasy, dreams and magic, while Tokyo DisneySea presents
new Disney experiences based on a wealth of ocean lore
and facts, focusing on imaginative worlds of adventure,
romance, discovery and fun.
Walt Disney once
said, of his original park in Anaheim, California, "Disneyland
will never be completed as long as there is imagination
left in the world." This is certainly true as well for
the Tokyo Disney Resort experience. With the addition of
Tokyo DisneySea Park right next to Tokyo Disneyland Park,
the grand tradition of Disney family entertainment will
continue for an audience that is growing every year. |
