Earlier today, the Oriental Land Company released details on Tokyo Disney Resort’s summer offerings. That included ways for park guests to get drenched, the return of Country Bear Vacation Jamboree(!) and more. In this post, we’ll share the news before adding in our own commentary! Let’s get to the news.

Tokyo Disney Resort will present a variety of Get Soaked Programs from July 2 through September 18 for guests to have a fun-filled summer. Guests will also be able to enjoy a selection of summer-themed merchandise and refreshing chilled menu items to stay cool during the hot summer days.

Along the parade route at Tokyo Disneyland Park, the Get Soaked Program, “Baymax’s Mission: Cool Down,” will be
presented, featuring Baymax, the personal healthcare companion robot from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Big Hero 6. The program aims to raise the “energy levels” of guests by spraying them with even more water than the previous year.

Furthermore, “Splash Mountain ‘Get Soaked MAX’” will delight guests with a special version of the attraction. Additionally, Toontown will feature “‘Get Soaked’ Toontown,” with Get Soaked spots scattered throughout the area again this summer.

Moreover, the Country Bear Theater attraction will present the special summer version, “Vacation Jamboree,” for the first time in five years, from May 17 through November 7.

At Tokyo DisneySea Park, the Aquatopia attraction will offer its “Aquatopia ‘Get Soaked’ Version.” And at both parks, cast members carrying barrels of water will spray guests with cool mist in “‘Get Soaked’Time.”

Guests will also be able to enjoy an array of “cool” menus, T-shirts and more at Tokyo Disney Resort this summer. Disney Ambassador Hotel will also serve special menus depicting Mickey Mouse and his friends enjoying summer. Additionally, the Disney Resort Line will offer day passes with special designs.

Guests at Tokyo Disney Resort can look forward to a multitude of summer programs that offer both a refreshing escape from the heat and the chance to create unforgettable memories.

Splash Mountain “Get Soaked MAX”

The attraction Splash Mountain, where guests ride a log boat that inevitably drops down a 16-meter-high waterfall, will present “Splash Mountain ‘Get Soaked MAX’” again this year. During this limited-period, there will be an additional effect with more water being sprayed to make the drop even more exhilarating, allowing guests to enjoy both the coolness of the water and the thrill of the drop.

Baymax’s Mission: Cool Down

Location: Parade Route
Duration: About 35 minutes
Performances: 3 daily
Number of Floats: 2
In this fun entertainment program presented along the parade route, Baymax, the personal healthcare companion robot from Disney Animation film Big Hero 6, protects guests from the summer heat again this year. In the program, Baymax is entrusted with the mission of raising the “energy levels” of guests and searches for areas in need of a cool down while spraying guests with mist. When an area with “low energy levels” is detected, the float stops and guests can enjoy a refreshing spritz of water to up-beat, lively music. This year, trailers equipped with water have been added behind each float, increasing the amount of water sprayed.

“Get Soaked” Toontown

Fun spots where guests can get soaked will pop up around Toontown again this year. The Trolley Barn at Jolly Trolley will feature cool mist and spraying water, and Toontown Fire Department and Fireworks Factory will spout more water than ever before. Guests will be able to enjoy the hot summer months with these water-splashing spots. For safety reasons, guests including children are requested to refrain from experiencing these programs in
bare feet or swimsuits, or while removing their clothes.

Aquatopia

The limited-period special version “Aquatopia ‘Get Soaked’ Version” will return to Aquatopia, an attraction where guests can enjoy the unpredictable movements of an automated water vehicle. This summer, the cast members are excitedly awaiting the challenge of providing guests with a fun “get soaked” experience.

Summer-Themed Merchandise

A fresh lineup of merchandise will be offered at both parks, including apparel items such as t-shirts. Additionally, “SuiSui Summer” themed merchandise will be available from June 13th. Guests can immerse themselves in the essence of summer and enjoy coordinating their outfits as they explore Tokyo Disney Resort.

“Cool” Menu Items

Refreshing menu items to help guests forget the summer heat will be sold at the parks. At Tokyo Disneyland, a new flavor of the classic shaved ice will be available. These treats come in two varieties and are generously topped with fruit, making them visually appealing and providing a cool and enjoyable treat for the summer. At Tokyo DisneySea, a Chilled Churro (Crème Brûlée) will make its debut. With a crispy exterior and a chewy texture on the inside, guests will be able to savor this chilled version of a churro. Additionally, each park will be serving chilled noodles that offer a refreshing taste, cold thirst-quenching drinks, and menus accompanied by “SuiSui Summer” inspired souvenirs that capture the essence of summer.

Country Bear Theater “Vacation Jamboree”

Country Bear Theater is an attraction at Tokyo Disneyland where eighteen charismatic bears with unique personalities entertain guests with a humorous country and western performance. From May 17 through November 7, Country Bear Theater will feature the special summer version, “Vacation Jamboree,” for the first time in five years. Guests can enjoy a cheerful vacation as they join these lively and fun-loving bears in an unforgettable experience.

Disney Hotels

From July 1 through August 31, all restaurants at Disney Ambassador Hotel will be serving special summery menus with a “SuiSui Summer” theme. These menus feature visually “cool” and refreshing dishes that are perfect for the hot season, including shaved ice and tarts made with tropical fruit. Furthermore, select menu items will come with hotel-exclusive charms and coasters.

Disney Resort Line

Day passes with “SuiSui Summer” designs will be available at the ticket machines in each station.

Commentary

I’ll start with what I’m most excited about, and really there’s no contest. Country Bear Vacation Jamboree is back! I’ve never had the privilege of watching those prestigious bears do their summer show in person. I’ve fired up YouTube videos to watch the old Disney World versions but knowing that I’ll get to see it in person brings a smile to my face.

Having five years between the shows made many believe that the Summer version of the Country Bears would never come back. Thankfully, that’s not the case. Layovers can be a huge asset for a park. Between Disneyland’s Hyperspace Mountain, Haunted Mansion Holiday and Small World Christmas, I’ve come to love the special editions of attractions. Now, I’ll get to watch my favorite bears do their thing. I know this probably won’t convince many people to book a special trip across the Pacific but it’s a huge boon to our already planned trip.

The majority of the other announcements are about how much water Tokyo Disney is planning to spray on guests. I can’t help but laugh about it. Having seen videos of past years, guests really do get drenched. I can’t say that really appeals to me but it’s probably nice on a hot day! Making all of the water rides a little more, uhh, water-y in the summer is a nice touch.

Of course, all of this is in addition to the biggest expansion in theme park history. Fantasy Springs debuts in early June and will be the headliner. It’s nice to see Tokyo Disney is adding a few other events to go along with the expansion. I mean, now that the Country Bears are playing a different show Fantasy Springs will probably take a backseat. I’m mostly kidding but I am budgeting my time already for my June trip to see how many times I can see the bears!
