The eighth themed port of Tokyo DisneySea will feature three areas, Rapunzel's Forest, Peter Pan's Never Land, and Frozen Kingdom, all inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios films.

Today Disney revealed the names and more details for the upcoming attractions in Fantasy Springs opening spring 2024 - Rapunzel's Lantern Festival, Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey, Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure, and Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies.

Lantern Festival with Rapunzel

Rapunzel’s Forest

Here, you can experience Rapunzel's "best day ever" on Rapunzel's Lantern Festival attraction, where Rapunzel falls in love with Flynn Rider on a romantic boat ride to the annual Lantern Festival.

The Snuggly Duckling restaurant, reminiscent of the establishment by the same name from the film, includes various atmospheric dining areas.

Two Peter Pan attractions

Peter Pan’s Never Land

Peter Pan's Never Land lets guests explore a pirate ship, dine in a secret hideaway or encounter pirates.

In Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure, join the Lost Kids as they explore Never Land with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell as well as help rescue John from Captain Hook.

Elsewhere, guests can help Tinker Bell deliver parcels and packages to the four seasonal areas of Pixie Hollow on the Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies attraction.

Lookout Cookout is made from found objects and shipwrecked parts, and includes views of Never Land.

Frozen Kingdom

During Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey, relive the tale of two sisters and how they discovered that true love can thaw a frozen heart alongside fan-favorite songs from the film.

At Royal Banquet of Arendelle restaurant, you will find both an indoor and a covered outdoor dining area with beautiful views of the fjord cliffs and mountains in the distance. For snacks, Oaken, the owner of the cabin and sauna featured in the film, has you covered at Oaken's OK Foods.

Fantasy Springs Hotel

Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel

Even the Cast Members aren't afraid of showing enthusiasm and excitement at times compared to WDW. Especially for various seasonal events and parades (such as the former Disney's Easter Wonderland Parade and Quacky Celebration Donald The Legend").

Me, too Tokyo customer service, cleanliness, maintenance, operation schedules and cast enthusiasm compared to WDW’s parks has to be seen to appreciate. ““Unfortunately, no one can be told what the OLC is. You have to see it for yourself."”

I would 100% take TDL over Magic Kingdom any day of the week. At least OLC knows how to operate and maintain a park, and their castle park is blessedly free of many of the annoying "fixes" that have plagued other castle parks. People who say otherwise IMO are overvaluing aesthetics over actual operations and functionality.

And maybe that just says more about our age and the kind of parks we grew up with but it just seems to me that a beautiful castle park with its variety, whimsy and typical attraction roster has everything it needs to make it more desirable than a park like TDS, no matter how great it may be.

I mean, it shakes out really definitively in attendance patterns. TDL still tends to run a few million ahead in the pre-pandemic years. So I'll be quite curious to see how much Fantasy Springs closes the gap after the first couple years of its excitement. We may start to have a very different perspective around these parts with MK. Particularly if it starts actually seeing proper investment, as seems to be happening. I think further helped by being mostly park originals, as the projects seem to be from my awareness.

TDR local since 2020. I would take a day at TDL over TDS any day of the week. And I would (probably) take a day at Magic Kingdom over a day at TDL. Grass is always greener!

mickEblu4 days ago

Right. Well said. I didn’t consider it from that angle. If it’s true that Tokyo locals prefer TDL that pretty much proves my theory about TDS just kind of being the de facto second best gate amongst us “nerds” because it’s just the next best non castle park that’s not Disneyland. With that said, it seems that it very well may be the second best Disney park worldwide. I’m just explaining why a lot of people might come to that conclusion so easily. I’m just not so sure it’s such a slam dunk no brainer.

BrianLo4 days ago

To your point: if TDS was plopped at WDW, which it almost could be... I think the vast majority of guests that live in the bubble that WDW is the only Disney experience, would still probably call Magic Kingdom the best park. Though TDS would be a clear and very close second. If it was in California instead of DCA, I think that there would still be a clear preference for DL. Perhaps more actual consensus amongst the 'nerds'. Though the gloating about how much better DLR is would take on a new level. Magic Kingdom is dragged down in our more theme park nerd lens, because we are holding it up to the standards of other similar parks. But MK is a fantastic park, without that context. It's kind of the only one at WDW built properly. But also under-built, because it is so popular. I think the Tokyo locals still think of their TDL as the slightly better of the two. Though TDL bothers me with the slurried textured ground. There's a reason they are basically slowly transforming TDS into a castle park redux.

Sure but grand scale is only one part of the equation. Disneyland doesn’t have that either and many have DL ahead of TDS. I think the castle parks in general are greater than the sum of their parts. Just something about them that works between the layout, whimsy and attraction rosters.

TalkToEthan4 days ago

Trying to be fair here Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland have nowhere near the grand scale and detail of TDS. Aesthetically not one land out of those two parks is even in the same conversation as ANY single land at TDS. Paris, however, can compete with TDS’s grounds, details and architecture And again trying to be fair when it comes to rides I can see how others would value the Disneylands rosters above Dis Sea, just not me personally.

mickEblu4 days ago

Right. Yeah I guess my question was - is TDS truly objectively better than the MK, Paris or Tokyo Disneyland, three castle parks that contain most of the whimsical, signature Disney parks attractions, themed coasters and things like the Rivers of America or are they easily dismissed because Disneyland exists.

You raise an important angle…….worthy of consideration I’m sure I have some level of bias based on what you bring up but the question is how much bias is at play here

Experts?! These are the people that founded WDW Pro.

Forbes articles regarding theme parks are some of the worst ever. It's a combination of leeching on to the recent criticism on Disney (except offering terrible meaningless explanations unlike the actual thoughtful ones of Poseiden Entertainment or the forums), doing some terrible armchair Imagineering, sourcing "popular fan posts" with 2 likes, and giving false information.
