Fantasy Springs[1] is an upcoming themed port (area) at Tokyo DisneySea similar to Fantasyland.[2] The port is inspired by "a magical spring that leads to a world of Disney fantasy"[3] and will comprise three distinct areas recreating the worlds of the Disney films: Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. The expansion will add four new attractions, three restaurants, one shop and a new luxury hotel situated inside the port to Tokyo DisneySea. At an estimated construction cost of ¥320 billion Fantasy Springs is Tokyo DisneySea's most expensive ever expansion, and with a development area of approximately 140,000 square meters it is also the park's largest expansion.[4] Fantasy Springs is expected to open in June 6, 2024.[5][6][7][8]
History[edit]
In 2015, Tokyo DisneySea announced the addition of a new "Scandinavia" port based on the 3D computer-animated musical film Frozen. However, this plan would be shelved in favor of Tokyo Disneyland's Fantasyland expansion and the Frozen plans would be repurposed for a larger expansion project.
On June 14, 2018, Tokyo Disney Resort announced the new port will include three sections themed to Tangled, Peter Pan and Frozen as well as new hotel.[9]
On October 27, 2022, The Oriental Land Company announced that "due to the extension of the project’s construction period, which was impacted by delay in productions overseas, as well as restrictions placed on logistics and border measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19" the opening date of Fantasy Springs had been pushed back to Spring 2024,[10] later announced as June 6, 2024.[5] It was also announced that each area would be called Frozen Kingdom, Rapunzel's Forest and Peter Pan's Never Land respectively. There will also be a Disney hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel, in this new port.[10]
On February 5, 2024, Tokyo Disney Resort announced that a new daytime shows, Fantasy Springs Special Greeting, which would take place in Mediterranean Harbor at Tokyo DisneySea on April 9, until June 30, 2024, as part of Dreaming of Fantasy Springs promotion.
