Summer is a hot one in Japan and Tokyo Disney Resort’s offerings this year are guaranteed to keep you “cool”.

Oriental Land Company has released details for Disney Summer Festival and Disney Natsu Matsuri at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.  They’ve also released details about the brand new “Out of Shadowland” show which will debut at Tokyo DisneySea.

Out of Shadowland will make its Tokyo DisneySea debut on July 9, 2016

Similar to past years, the theme of “Tropical Fruits” is planned to decorate the park along with its popular harbor show, Minnie’s Tropical Splash. This year Minnie, Daisy, and Clarice have brand new costumes to delight guests with. In addition, Jose Carioca and Panchito are adding even more excitement to the show.

Out of Shadowland premieres on July 9 at the Hangar Stage in Lost River Delta. The show is described as:

“Out of Shadowland” is an original tale about a shy, soft-spoken girl who must learn to overcome her doubts and fears through the power of her imagination, and the courage she discovers in her heart. Created expressly for the Hangar Stage, this new musical show with colorful visuals, dynamic scenes and powerful live performances offers Guests a unique experience.

This show is replacing the now closed Mystic Rhythms, which ended April 5, 2015.
