As we get closer to the June 6th opening date of Fantasy Springs, Tokyo Disney Resort has released new details about the rides and the restaurants.
The New Land
Fantasy Springs consists of three areas inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios films: Frozen Kingdom, Rapunzel’s Forest and Peter Pan’s Never Land, as well as the latest Disney-themed hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel.
Fantasy Springs is nestled between Lost River Delta and Arabian Coast at Tokyo DisneySea.
At the Fantasy Springs entryway guests will be welcomed by an archway adorned with magical springs representing Disney Animation characters such as Peter Pan, Anna, Elsa and Rapunzel.
The new themed port also features motifs of a variety of other beloved characters, inviting guests into this world of Disney fantasy.
The opening of this new section of the park marks the largest expansion of Tokyo DisneySea since its inception.
To enter Fantasy Springs, a valid park ticket for Tokyo DisneySea is required, along with either a Standby Pass (available free of charge) or Disney Premier Access (available for a fee) for an eligible attraction.
Here is a short video highlighting some Fantasy Springs displays, cast member costumes, food, and more:
Frozen Kingdom
Frozen Kingdom brings to life the world from the Disney Animation film “Frozen.” In the blissful world that unfolded after the film’s finale, guests are invited to visit the kingdom of Arendelle, enveloped in a warm and celebratory atmosphere.
In the “Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey” attraction, guests set out on a voyage by boat that leads them through the events of “Frozen.”
During this boat ride, guests will enjoy an adventurous and heartwarming tale of two sisters with themes of true love.
Grand Pabbie, the leader of the trolls, first draws guests into the world of the film as he tells the tale of Anna and Elsa to two young trolls, bringing the sisters’ childhood memories back to life with an iridescent light through his magic.
Guests then embark on a journey through the sisters’ memories, accompanied by well-known songs from the film, including “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” “For the First Time in Forever” and “Love Is an Open Door,” the duet sung by Anna and Hans at the top of the clock tower. Guests will also be able to enjoy the fan-favorite “Let It Go,” sung by Elsa as she climbs North Mountain, where she creates an ice palace with her powers.
The climax of the attraction depicts Anna turning to ice in an attempt to save Elsa from Hans.
Each boat can hold 16 guests, and the ride will take about six and a half minutes.
Those who build up an appetite can visit the Royal Banquet of Arendelle, a counter-service restaurant in Arendelle Castle, seating approximately 570 guests.
Anna and Elsa opened the gates to their castle and invited people from near and far to enjoy a celebratory banquet inside the castle, which has been transformed into a dining
area.
Inside the restaurant, guests will find books and artwork of beloved “Frozen” characters. They will also be able to gaze upon numerous paintings from the scene in the film where “For the First Time in Forever” is sung. In the great hall, guests can dine in the place of Elsa’s coronation and feel immersed in the world of Frozen.
Guests who visit this restaurant will be able to join the celebratory banquet and enjoy an offering called “Arendelle’s Royal Set.” This meal is served to guests in a basket and includes a variety of mouthwatering dishes from appetizers to dessert.
This restaurant will also accept orders using Disney Mobile Order.
Just need a snack? Oaken’s OK Foods, run by Oaken, the owner of the cabin and sauna that appears in the film, has opened his doors to hungry visitors in Arendelle.
Here, guests can munch on “Oaken’s Yoo-Hoo Bread (Cardamom & Meat),” a variation on the cardamom rolls which are a Scandinavian specialty. This fluffy, cardamom bread is filled with Scandinavian-style spiced meat and accented with lingonberry jam, making it the perfect snack to eat on the go.
Rapunzel’s Forest
In Rapunzel’s Forest, guests will be transported into the world of the Disney Animation film, “Tangled,” where the long-haired princess Rapunzel has lived since she was a child.
Here, guests can enjoy Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, the first attraction in the Disney park around the world to bring the story of Rapunzel to life, and embark on a romantic journey aboard a boat.
In this attraction, guests enjoy a romantic gondola tour that leads to the annual Lantern Festival, where they follow Rapunzel as she experiences her “best day ever” and meets Flynn Rider for the first time.
Guests will make their way towards the tower where Rapunzel lives, and will find her gazing out of her lofty tower window, singing “When Will My Life Begin,” as Flynn Rider watches on.
Rapunzel later escapes from the tower and with Flynn Rider at her side, the two develop a strong bond as they visit various locations featured in the film.
Rapunzel and Flynn Rider go on to sing “I See the Light,” and guests are enveloped by the glow of countless lanterns filling the night sky.
Each boat can hold 16 guests, and the ride will take about five minutes.
After the ride, head over to The Snuggly Duckling, a counter-service restaurant with seating for approximately 620 guests, which is modeled after where Rapunzel befriends the local rough-and-tumble crowd in the film.
The restaurant is hidden behind the foliage of a massive tree that is partially growing into the building, and the iconic Snuggly Duckling sign by the entrance welcomes guests inside.
The interior of the restaurant brings to life the world of the film in its rooms, recreating places from the film such as the tavern and stable. Guests can delight in gazing upon the décor, which depicts the happily-ever-after stories of the tavern’s lovable ruffians.
Hungry guests will also be able to chow down on the “Duckling’s Dream Cheeseburger,” which includes a juicy patty and sausage sandwiched between a yellow duck-colored bun.
Or for those with a sweet tooth, the restaurant will offer the “Sweet Ever After Dessert (Lemon and Strawberry),” which is inspired by Rapunzel’s memorable line from the film, “And we’re living happily ever after.” This dessert is served in a container shaped like a frying pan, which Rapunzel uses to protect herself in the film.
This restaurant will also accept orders using Disney Mobile Order
Peter Pan’s Never Land
Peter Pan’s Never Land invites guests to explore the world of the Disney Animation film, “Peter Pan.”
In this attraction, guests join Peter Pan, Tinker Bell. and the Lost Kids on an epic adventure through Never Land to rescue John from Captain Hook and his band of pirates.
When Peter Pan informs guests that John has been kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirate crew, they board a boat and set off on an adventure. Tinker Bell then sprinkles fairy dust on the boat, allowing guests to soar into the sky.
During their journey, guests encounter Wendy, Michael, the mermaids, Tiger Lily, and other beloved characters from the film.
Guests will also discover Captain Hook’s moored ship, the Jolly Roger, and look on as a battle with the pirates ensues.
Each ride vehicle can hold 12 guests, and the ride will take about six minutes.
This land has a second attraction, Fairy Tinker Bell’s Busy Buggies, which is located in Pixie Hollow, the fairy valley in Never Land where Tinker Bell lives.
In this attraction, guests board a Busy Buggy, a vehicle made by Tinker Bell, and explore the fairy valley and its changing seasons.
Upon entering the attraction, everything – from flowers and mushrooms to painting utensils and pieces of nibbled cheese – will appear bigger in size, leading guests to realize that they have shrunk down to the size of a fairy and entered their world.
The attraction’s boarding area is a delivery service location where guests board a Busy Buggy and help Tinker Bell deliver items throughout the fairy valley.
Guests can experience the changing seasons of Pixie Hollow as the Busy Buggies move in unpredictable directions throughout the fairy valley.
Each ride vehicle can hold 4 guests, and the ride will take about two minutes.
Nearby Lookout Cookout is a hideout created by the Lost Kids that also serves as a counter service restaurant with approximately 200 seats.
This restaurant brims with playfulness and was made from parts of a shipwreck that had washed ashore in Never Land. Inside, guests will find items that the Lost Kids use daily, such as pajamas and hammocks, giving a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Lost Kids.
On the menu are items inspired by the Lost Kids and their self-made hideout, such as Lost Kids’ Snack Box that includes chicken tenders, seaweed fritters, banana chips and shrimp chips, and a “Pixie Dust Soda (Kiwi)” that comes with a star-shaped topping that dissolves into the drink, creating a silver sparkling effect inspired by Tinker Bell’s magical pixie dust.
This restaurant will also accept orders using Disney Mobile Order.
For the adventureous, hit up the Popcorn Wagon, which resembles a boat pieced together from colorful slabs of old wood.
