Today, Tokyo Disneyland announced that new attractions, restaurants, and shops will open on September 28 marking the largest expansion of the Park’s history. This large-scale development will stretch across Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Toontown – three of the seven themed lands in the Park – transforming into new magical experiences for guests three years after breaking ground.
The additions to Fantasyland will bring Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Beauty and the Beast” film to life through the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast attraction, shops and dining locations. In Tomorrowland, guests will experience the brand new The Happy Ride with Baymax attraction inspired by Disney Animation’s Oscar-winning film, “Big Hero 6” and find new delectable delights at The Big Pop, a specialized popcorn shop. Finally, Toontown will offer a new Disney Character greeting experience called Minnie’s Style Studio.
They look forward to welcoming guests to this latest area of the Park inviting them to visit to make new and lasting magical memories!
Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are owned and operated by Oriental Land Co, Ltd.
