Out of desire to have all guests enjoy the parks more comfortably, we have formulated a plan to expand the park area for increased capacity, and at the same time to introduce major attractions for novelty.
In 2019, we introduced a new major attraction “Soaring: Fantastic Flight” in Tokyo DisneySea.
In 2020, Tokyo Disney Resort was forced through a temporary closure for about 4 months from February 29 through June 30 due to infection spread of the new coronavirus. However, with a new operation method focusing on fighting against the new coronavirus, the parks have resumed operation since July 1, which is now bringing back smiles of guests in a gradual manner.
In the same year, in the name of “Major Development of Tokyo Disneyland”, we expanded Fantasyland, with an area where guests can experience the world of Disney film of “Beauty and the Beast”, which is composed of a castle where the beast lived, a new attraction, and the village where Belle lived.
In Tomorrowland, the world’s first attraction themed on the Disney film of “Baymax” opened, and in Toontown, a character greeting facility where guests can meet Minnie Mouse. We also plan to open an authentic indoor theater which will be the first one in Tokyo Disneyland, so we wait anxiously for a day when we work new magic on guests.
In 2022, a Disney Hotel themed on the Disney/Pixar film series of “Toy Story” will open, showing further expansion not only within the parks but also on an entire resort basis.
Tokyo Disney Resort developed a new, eighth themed port in Tokyo DisneySea, Fantasy Springs, themed to magical springs that lead to a world of Disney fantasy on June 6th, 2024.
Fantasy Springs consists of three areas inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios films: Frozen Kingdom (the Frozen-themed area), Rapunzel’s Forest (the Tangled-themed area) and Peter Pan’s Never Land (the Peter Pan-themed area), as well as the Disney hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel. This new themed port will be the only one of its kind in the world.
Since opening in 2001, Tokyo DisneySea has been transformed after undergoing the largest development in its history, spanning an area of approximately 140,000㎡. There has been a total investment of approximately 320 billion yen in this project.
The new themed port, Fantasy Springs, to the world’s only Disney Park themed to the sea adds new charms to Tokyo DisneySea.
Tokyo Disney Resort always looks to evolve further. For the best smiles and best time of guests, our dream will grow bigger, forever.
