OLC has provided a Tokyo Disney Resort facility as the venue for Urayasu City’s Coming-of-Age ceremony since 2002.

On January 13, 2025, the Urayasu City Coming-of-Age Day ceremony was held at Tokyo DisneySea’s Broadway Music Theatre, where the arrival into adulthood of 1,631 young people was officially recognized. This year’s theme was “Climbing mountains and crossing seas—forge a new path forward.” The ceremony kicked off with a “count-up” to 20 in celebration of the milestone, followed by speeches from the mayor of Urayasu City, chair of the city council, and Tokyo Disney Resort Ambassador. For the finale, Disney characters interacted with the new adults, which put smiles on everyone’s faces. Many of the participants also appeared to be delighted to be able to reunite with their friends as they enjoyed the special day at our Park.
