The large-scale development of Tokyo Disneyland occupies an area of about 47,000 m2 across Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Toontown—three of the seven themed lands in the Park. This expansion has transformed the area into new magical experiences for guests three years after first breaking ground. The additions to Fantasyland will bring Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Beauty and the Beast film to life through the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast attraction, shops and dining locations. Tomorrowland will see the addition of The Happy Ride with Baymax attraction and The Big Pop, a shop specializing in popcorn. Toontown will offer the new Disney Character greeting experience called Minnie’s Style Studio. New enchantment awaits guests visiting Tokyo Disney Resort® as we continue to offer new and exciting experiences.
