Fantasy Springs Overview & First Look Attraction Photos

Oriental Land Company and Disney released a fresh batch of photos and overview of Tokyo DisneySea’s upcoming expansion, Fantasy Springs. The new port-of-call, the most expensive theme park addition ever, will open on June 6th to the public. In this post, we’ll share the news released by Disney and give a little update on our coverage of the land moving forward. Let’s get to the overview and photos!

Fantasy Springs is located between the Arabian Coast and Lost River Delta in Tokyo DisneySea! This eighth port is themed to a magical spring leading to a world of fantasy and consists of three areas: Frozen Kingdom, Rapunzel’s Forest, Peter Pan’s Never Land, inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios films “Frozen,” “Tangled” and “Peter Pan.” The biggest land expansion yet at Tokyo Disney Resort, it’s home to four new attractions, three quick service dining locations, a merchandise shop and a new hotel.

Does Fantasy Springs have its own Hotel?

Yes! Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel is the resort’s newest park-integrated hotel located inside Fantasy Springs and offers guests with park tickets access to Tokyo DisneySea through Fantasy Springs.

What attractions can you ride at Fantasy Springs?

Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey

Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey

Set out on a voyage by boat on Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey located in Frozen Kingdom! This family-friendly attraction features the heartwarming tale of two sisters from childhood memories with Grand Pabbie to Anna turning to ice to save Elsa. The adventure is accompanied by songs from the film including, “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” “For the First Time in Forever,” “Love Is an Open Door” and “Let It Go.”

Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival

For the first time ever, be transported to where the glowing lanterns gleam on Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival over in Rapunzel’s Forest. This romantic gondola journey retells the tale of Disney Animation’s “Tangled,” from Rapunzel’s tower to the moment we’ve all been waiting for, watching the sky envelope with countless lanterns to the tune of “I See the Light.”

Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure

An all-new adventure, this 3D escapade joins Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the Lost Kids as they rescue John from Captain Hook and his band of pirates.

Fairy Tinker Bell’s Busy Buggies

Shrink down to the size of a fairy and board a busy buggie to help Tinker Bell deliver packages throughout the changing seasons of Pixie Hollow. This attraction is perfect for those of all ages!

Where to eat at Fantasy Springs?

Royal Banquet of Arendelle

For the first time in forever, Anna and Elsa have opened the gates of Arendelle Castle to dine inside! Immerse yourself in the world of “Frozen” and discover eats like “Arendelle’s Royal Set.”

Oaken’s OK Foods

Oaken, the shop keeper of Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna, has opened his doors to the hungry visitors of Frozen Kingdom! The perfect spot to grab a quick snack, you’ll find his signature offering, “Oaken’s Yoo-Hoo Bread,” here.

The Snuggly Duckling

Hidden among the foliage of a massive tree that’s partially growing into the building, dine among the happily-ever-after story of the tavern’s ruffians and paintings created by Rapunzel herself. Here you can find a variety of offerings from savory dishes such as “Duckling’s Dream Cheeseburger” and those on the sweeter side like the “Sweet Ever After Dessert.”

Lookout Cookout

The hideout of the Lost Kids, Lookout Cookout in Peter Pan’s Never Land was made from parts of a shipwreck that had washed ashore. Not only will you find menu items inspired by the Lost Kids, keep an eye out for what they’ve left around such as pajamas and hammocks.

Popcorn Wagon

No trip to Tokyo Disney Resort is complete without trying as many popcorn flavors as possible! You won’t want to miss the ALL-NEW roast beef popcorn flavor found only in Fantasy Springs.

Where can you find “Frozen,” “Tangled” and “Peter Pan”-themed merchandise at Fantasy Springs?

Fantasy Springs Gifts
Fantasy Springs Gifts

Located inside the lower level of Fantasy Springs Hotel and only accessible from Fantasy Springs, this shop is where you find “Frozen,” “Tangled” and “Peter Pan”-themed merchandise! You can even find collections themed to the world of Fantasy Springs here.

Springs Treasures

This wagon-style kiosk is located outside the port along the pathway leading from Arabian Coast to Fantasy Springs. Offering a variety of merchandise, this is the perfect spot to stop before or after visiting Fantasy Springs!

Commentary & Coverage Update

This will be more update than commentary! From my brief scanning of that news release above, there isn’t much in the way of new information about Fantasy Springs but there are some photos I haven’t seen before. What I shared does provide a tidy summary of what will be offered in the land.

So, why the brief scan and lack of commentary? Because I’m a fan first and don’t want anything to be spoiled at this point. We’ve covered all of the Fantasy Springs updates over the last few years and will continue to do so. I expect one more update from the OLC/Disney before June 6th to remind everyone of the opening and entry procedures. After that, there’s not much left to say for them! They’re hopefully going to let the expansion speak for itself.

As for us, we don’t like to watch ride through videos or even see photos of a theme park expansion if we’re going to be there close to opening day. And we are going to be there close to opening day! Several prominent Disney sites are at Tokyo Disney Resort right now for media previews, so there will be more information coming from those outlets before the official opening. Sadly, Wandering in Disney isn’t that prominent yet. But I can’t help but smile when I see the Brickers (Disney Tourist Blog) getting to experience the preview. They were our inspiration for going to Tokyo in the first place and they deserve to see the land as much as anyone catering to a largely American audience. If you’re looking for reviews and commentary on Fantasy Springs before June 8th, we highly recommend going over to their site. As far as fair theme park critique, Tom is as good as it gets!

I say June 8th because that’s when we’ll be there! We couldn’t quite make opening day work but will arrive just a couple of days after. We’ll spend the better part of a week at Tokyo Disney Resort during that trip, lapping up as much of Fantasy Springs as possible. You can expect our site to have a very heavy Tokyo Disney flavor in June, with reviews of each ride, restaurant and the expansion in general.

Until then, we’ll be going dark. Not on content, of course! There will still be posts up here every day about Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disney. More we’ll just avoid absorbing any reviews, photos or videos of Fantasy Springs. Melissa has started this months ago to an impressive level! For having a husband who’s constantly writing about these things, I’m not sure how she’s avoided it so well. Obviously, that wasn’t an option for me but will be for the next month.

The anticipation keeps building for DisneySea’s expansion. Personally, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been more excited for a theme park trip! We’re honored that people check out our site for information about Tokyo Disney Resort and hope we steer some people towards visiting those incredible parks. Please drop a comment below if you have any specific ways you’d like us to cover Fantasy Springs. We can’t wait to bring you reviews and commentary on this gigantic expansion!
