Take a tour around Tokyo with the convenient hop-on and-off bus. Spend a rainy afternoon inside Japan’s largest indoor theme park, Tokyo Joyoplis, near Tokyo Disney!

This is so frikking exciting! Knowing the caliber of TDS, I’m positive these lands will be mind-blowingly fantastic. Is that Cinderella in the fountain (top 2 pics)?
I loved DisneySea before, and I am sure this will only UP my excitement level for what they’re adding, by 2022.
I have to ask a question though, pardon my second post. When a lot of the “Future of DisneySea” was announced a few years ago, I remember the time line going as far as 2025. And for now, all of this construction and new openings in both parks, leads to…2022. So…what the heck is happening in the three years after 2022? For myself, I am still imagining that they ARE going to join both parks together at the back, through some kind of transport system, from Bell’s Village to Fantasy Springs. I imagine it could be like the train that Ocean Park has, or the train in Florida’s Harry Potterverse has …totally enclosed transport vehicles, with windows showing the journey from Belle’s Village to Magic Springs….and back. Only for three/four day Park Hopper Pass holders, too. That’s how it’ll work. A guess. (o:
I see Cinderella, her shoe the magic mirror and what I think is sleeping beauty and Prince Charming. Wasn’t able to find tink in the picture.
It looks so amazing tho and can’t wait to see more as time progresses. I hope we’re able to get there in 2022 or at least 2023. ??
Looks amazing! I think I’m most excited for the Tangled theming, as it’s my absolute favourite! I’d better plan another trip in late 2022.

With all the rockwork/glowing foliage/waterfalls/mountains, Fantasy Springs seems like a cross between Pandora and Fantasyland. I’m most interested in the Peter Pan area and the attractions there. The Tangled section seems odd to me, but I’m sure it will be a big hit.

We have just been given the first dates for the Disney Cruise Line travel in Australia/New Zealand If I can cruise here at home then Disney Japan is certainly the better park for us and with all the new places opening, it should be awesome.
Oh my gosh TDR Explorer! First I just want to thank you for all of the overwhelming work you put into all of these articles and your channel! I am SO EXCITED for Pixie Hollow the most! I have always loved fairies and I hope they have interactive characters of all the Pixie Hollow girls!!! Please do a video asap when the park opens! I’m going to Japan the entire month of May 2024 so I hope it’s open when I go!! So happy, ahhh!!
