Sneak Peek into Fantasy Springs

[@Big_Dai]

Japanese Disney Parks are far and beyond any other park.

[@RelaxRelapse720]

Tokyo Disneyland is ok. Basically just a slightly better copy-paste of the one in California. DisneySea on the other hand was the best and most immersive Disney park I've ever been to while still keeping the classic Disney charm.

[@josephyang3260]

Yeah I agree with the other person, Disneyland Tokyo is okay, the parades are better in my opinion, but everything else is mostly the same, people are a bit more respectful, but lines are long no matter if it’s a weekend or weekday due to lots of school trips. Prices are significantly lower so that’s a plus and merch is better too. Also, lol every time I’ve been fireworks are cancelled due to the gentlest breeze (I’ve gone 2 to 4 times per year for the last 8 years when I take my annual trip to japan, I’ve also gone every season too). Disney sea is pretty good overall, but currently they’re in renovation season so at least 1/3 to 1/4 of the rides are closed there was also no real harbor show or parade, they only have one boat that comes out with Mickey and the crew and they do a little dance and song, but a let down compared to what I’ve seen in the past. Also, king tritons theater has been shutdown for like 3 years, that was one of my favorites with a live action Ariel that would fly over the audience while also singing some of the iconic songs like part of your world. Also they had zero night shows along with Disneyland Tokyo as of a week ago. Don’t get me wrong, I typically do enjoy Disney Tokyo, but I’m trying to set some realistic expectations. Disney World I’d say is a top contender with Disney Tokyo though for the value Tokyo is pretty top tier .

[@mikalmos369]

Tokyo DisneySea really is the jewel in the crown of all of the Disney parks

[@ThemeparkNThings]

Think about it California almost had that was going to be built around the queen Mary but either the city said no or Disney either way Disney sea is so amazing trying to take a Tokyo trip hopefully it’s after this is done and open Tokyo more affordable than Disney world

[@theaarongarcia]

That's because Disney doesn't own Tokyo Disney. The oriental land company spends like they have no budget.

[@shawnokeefe1580]

Tokyo is just rubbing it in our faces now

[@eronic404]

I honestly think this would be a almost perfect addition to Magic Kingdom, it has has the magic that everyone wants to come for an expansion there.

[@emilyschulz907]

The snuggling duckling looks so beautiful. Inside I'm shocked and excited 😀

[@ratbones620]

This just makes me want to take a trip to japan even more. Theme parks are a whole other level over there.

[@luciafp1142]

Totally go..it will change your life 💖

[@KazeMunashii]

oh my goodness! they really turned frozen into a land! about a year ago, my fiancée ended up passing away, but her ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THING was to sit down and watch all sorts of frozen stuff all the time. it really brings a tear to my eye to see all the thousands of people who will get to experience this magical place for years and decades to come. its just a shame it was so close to coming out she didn't get to see it, because i know she would've loved what you all have done here to bring all of this to life

[@happymaskedguy1943]

I’m sorry to hear of your loss.

[@cassandra8209]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[@PatGirvin]

Very sorry to hear this. Yeah, we have worked for many years on this and really poured a lot of passion into it. I hope you get a chance to visit, and remember your fiancee.

[@robatkins]

If only the parks in the United States were allowed to do this, this is what Walt would have wanted plussing. Not repurposing rides into different themes, not tearing down buildings to make smaller versions of those buildings which go away from the messaging that Walt was trying to convey (Epcot) at least the original theme park version of Epcot had some of Walt’s intentions. Now future world is gone, because corporate boards or the money people only want money. So they charge for fast passes, up prices on everything, and don’t let the Imagineers live up to their full potential. The park in the video above clearly lets the Imagineers use their imaginations to design new things.

[@Pokemanmon]

Yeah, limitless money tends to make people more creative.

[@A_A610]

Tokyo's parks are operated by a Japanese company on a license from Disney, so are not directly owned or operated by the Disney company. This gives the other company (Oriental Land Co) more say in both budgeting for new additions (often giving Imagineering much larger budgets to work with), and management decisions (not falling into the same pitfalls as the US parks currently are)

[@robatkins]

@@A_A610 yeah, that’s awesome. It’s just a shame that the U.S. Disney park management won’t send more funds that way.

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@A_A610but unlike Disney, OLC has to pay for all that licensing. Imagine if a company owned all these IPs, and had their own imagineers, the possibilities would be endless! …but that wouldn’t look good to shareholders, investing so much money on things that won’t give an instant return. I just don’t understand how OLC is able to do all this, after paying Disney, AND keeping prices low.

[@anthonyhayes4109]

@out5894 it doesn't have to be. The absence of money can and should make the creative juices move faster. Take the Haunted Mansion: paint an animatronic white and angle it in front of a sheet of glass, Boom! You've got a ghost. Or Soarin': tinker with an old erector set, and you've got a state of the art ride system thats now being copied all over the country.

[@moretoknowshow1887]

I know someone w/ WDI whom has worked on this project for the past few years. Its amazing what Oriental Land Co. has been able to do w/ DisneySea and now this land. What id give for that love to be shared with the US parks.

[@daniellevine7315]

The Oriental Land Company is actually putting love into their attractions. This is what Disney SHOULD be doing!

[@WhirlOmar]

They're working together.

[@Mike14264]

That Frozen ice castle is something else! Really beautiful!

[@ladybeavanerdventures]

Japan truly has the best Disney parks and they hit it out of the park again

[@darlenelove7425]

I’ve been to every Disney in the world. This one is by far my favorite. I would go back in a heartbeat.

[@RankingTheMouse]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Congrats to everyone who worked on this & everyone who will get to set eyes on it in person! I hope to see it one day as well. Truly pinnacle of design

[@andrewrivera3748]

Imagine if the WDC actually cared about the American Parks like the Oriental Land Company cares about their park. Blows everything we have out of the water. Not even a competition

[@justarandomspencer9174]

So, SO excited for this! The Imagineers have tastefully integrated IP into an IP-less park and I cannot wait to experience it in June! I aspire to be a part of this in the future. Congrats to the entire team!

[@yingcartoonist]

WOW Everything so magical and wonderland at TokyoDisney look so fun it is most wonderful thing ever see mine tire life. It's Beautiful

[@TheTTATravelers]

This is great! Great job WDI. Would be great if Disney parks in the America allowed you to do work like this.

[@robc1985]

Yes, that would be great!

[@themepark101]

This looks fantastic. We all can't wait to visit! 😁

[@UnityBringer]

Seeing all theee lands brought to life... it is absolutely amazing. Especially Tangled. Man, what I would give for a chance to go to Disney Tokyosea. One day I hope to imagine such lands like this. You all did an absolutely brilliant job.

[@FigmentForever]

Bravo, Tokyo Imagineers for making the dreams of Disney fans a reality. You are the last beacon of inspiration & creativity left in the Walt Disney Company. Thank goodness for OLC! Tokyo Disneyland & DisneySea: “Imagineers are an invaluable asset and make our fantasy a reality.” Disney Parks US: “Let’s downsize Imagineering & get rid of anything we can’t charge an extra up charge for, while barely keeping our existing rides operable for half an operating day.”

[@dynamicmediacurations]

Nice work. Way better than anything from the US parks in a long time. Wish the Tangled Tower was larger - that is the only thing that looks a bit off.

[@cho2145]

It is difficult. In Japan, when building a tall building, there is an obligation to attach a red lamp to the top of the building. Oriental Land doesn't want to add that, so it can't be helped. Also, that Rapunzel tower faces the direction of the attraction, and if the tower is too big, it's weird for the people sitting on the ride.

[@Georgehill2010]

The American theme parks need this so badly

[@Etc_Null]

Went to Disney Seas for the first time last month. Truly one of the best theme parks in the world.

[@Kokomadeta]

Wow, I wish the US parks could have something nice like this. Instead we get the most popular attraction shut down, gutted, and replaced with screens, fewer animatronics, and a Rainforest Cafe theme. Not to mention a redesigned main character for no reason.

[@rmm2370]

Here after seeing the abysmal Splash re-do in WDW... What a wasted opportunity. Imagine what OLC could've achieved in half the time. They spend where it counts--on creative, their Imagineers go above and beyond, and the result is TRUE Disney, with all the magic, excitement and incredible detail that the other parks are sorely lacking.

[@5MadMovieMakers]

I know MK is already big but there’s no harm in making it bigger to add these lands into it!!

[@b_d15]

Imagineering truly still has it in them to follow the design principles and values it pioneered years ago. I truly believe it’s the corporate budget cuts and mandates that give us mediocre products like Avengers Campus in the states. It’s highly disappointing how much of a difference the output is.

[@e-mananimates2274]

I can see it now for 1:47! A Riku cosplayer would stand in that area, while a Sora cosplays shouts why he sided with the Heartless.

[@smk4565]

WOW. Absolutely incredible and what is more frustrating is WDI has the ability to do this, but when Epcot gets a new area, it takes 5 years to put in a statue of Walt and some planters and seating that looks like it came out of a business park courtyard. If only the US parks would give WDI the budget that OLC does.

[@GI876758]

I kind of hope for more focus on Frozen Kingdom and Rapunzel's Forest so they can expand both areas a bit with a huge mini water area while building a second castle the Corona Castle in the middle of an artificial island for Rapunzel's Forest area instead of doing Peter Pan. I feel Rapunzel's world could have more to explore instead of just the forest area. 2 castles Corona and Arendelle together would stand out for the area, but I guess they don't want to overshadow Mt Prometheus the original landmark for DisneySea. Anyways, this is still really good for what it is. I am happy that Arendelle is made close to the movie scene itself, and you can go inside which is the most important part.

Sorry Imagineers and OLC! But Did you forget why Disney Sea is the best theme park in the World? It’s because of Uniqueness!! Most of Disney Sea’s attractions are legendary! They have a very strong theming and their own story. They can stand without relying on any Disney character! Disney Sea does not copy any attractions from other parks, also no park can copy them too! Why did you choose to bring Fantasy Spring here? Any relation with the Sea Theme? My Disney Sea has a more realistic, Romantic and serious vibe, not cartoon style. Don’t get me wrong, I Love your jobs, This Fantasy Spring is so Amazing! But It should be part of Disneyland, not Sea!

[@RobWVideo]

The Oriental Land Company - the owners of Tokyo Disney - contract out their attraction design and development to Imagineering in the USA. They also embrace Walt's idea of "plussing", or continuous improvement. DisneySea was the best Disney park in the world *before* Fantasy Springs (believe me, I've been to every one except Shanghai), and once this attraction is open it's going to blow ever other park out of the water.
