Fantasy Springs is the brand new over $2 billion enlargement themed to Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan at Tokyo DisneySea. And it’s now OPEN to all friends as a part of unpaid previews or technical rehearsals a number of weeks previous to its official opening in June! This covers all the pieces it is advisable to know: learn how to entry the land throughout smooth openings, probability they’ll proceed within the days/weeks to return, and extra.
If you happen to’re studying this submit, you’re most likely already accustomed to the fundamentals of Fantasy Springs. In case not, it’s a record-setting addition to what’s already the perfect theme park on this planet. That park is already lavish, and that is its most costly port of name. In fact, Fantasy Springs was additionally constructed a pair a long time after the remainder of the park, and all the pieces prices extra now. However nonetheless.
On the in-park entrance to Fantasy Springs, nestled between Misplaced River Delta and Arabian Coast, friends will first be welcomed to this world of fantasy by an entry archway adorned with magical springs representing Disney characters reminiscent of Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel and Peter Pan. That is the place you’ll enter for smooth openings. There’ll both be a small join that claims “Fantasy Springs is at the moment open to all friends” or a line of Forged Members with countdowns blocking the doorway. (Presumably, the signal may even change as soon as paid previews begin and friends of these enter by way of right here.)
Inside Fantasy Springs, there are three distinct areas. In Frozen Kingdom, with its stunning views of the dominion of Arendelle, friends can expertise the Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey attraction. Towering over Rapunzel’s Forest is a tower, actually, the place friends can expertise the Rapunzel’s Lantern Competition attraction.
Peter Pan’s By no means Land affords spectacular surroundings, together with Captain Hook’s pirate ship and the long-lasting Cranium Rock that friends might recall from the Disney Animation movie Peter Pan. On the Peter Pan’s By no means Land Journey attraction, friends be part of Peter Pan and his buddies as they encounter Captain Hook and fly over By no means Land. There’s additionally the Fairy Tinker Bell’s Busy Buggies attraction in Pixie Hole, the fairy valley the place Tinker Bell lives, which welcomes friends at fairy measurement to benefit from the altering seasons.
All through all three areas of Fantasy Springs, friends also can get pleasure from new eating places, purchasing and extra, every with their very own distinctive charms that carry to life the worlds from the movies. There’s additionally the aforementioned Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Resort, which is the sixth Disney lodge in Japan. (See Every little thing You Must Know About Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea for all the specifics in regards to the port-of-call.)
Gentle openings of Fantasy Springs started on Might 15, 2024 at park opening.
If you happen to’re within the park, quite than strolling a mile from the entrance to the Fantasy Springs entrance to examine the standing, you must examine the Tokyo Disney Resort app. That is completely important for visiting TDR, so hopefully you have already got this downloaded and able to roll.
If Fantasy Springs is open for unpaid previews, you’ll see each the standing of Standby Move for its points of interest in addition to estimated wait occasions within the Tokyo Disney Resort app.
Take a look at the precise checklist of points of interest or click on on an attraction title, as in contrast to different points of interest, a wait time gained’t be displayed prominently on the interactive park map. (Disregard the “Opens June 6” line in every attraction title–that’s clearly not the case when Fantasy Springs is present process smooth openings!)
The land is presently open-access, which means that there is no such thing as a digital queue or Standby Move required to enter. Nevertheless, you will have to use Standby Move and Cellular Order to entry the points of interest and eating places, respectively. At present, Disney Premier Entry isn’t obtainable for buy as an alternative choice to Standby Move.
That is all completely fantastic by us, however please observe that it might be topic to vary. We visited in the course of the smooth openings of Imagine! Sea of Goals they usually (finally) did introduce Disney Premier Entry for viewing that. If I recall appropriately, it didn’t occur till solely a pair days earlier than the grand opening, so the identical may occur right here. I’d think about OLC desires to seize as a lot income as doable, however we will see.
This follows a pair weeks of media previews, which we have been in a position to attend. (Heaps extra posts coming quickly from that–for now, take a look at our overview of the marquee attraction: Anna & Elsa’s Frozen Journey is One in all Disney’s Greatest Rides Ever.)
Sadly, we’re not in a position to attend the present smooth opening of Fantasy Springs. We’re nonetheless in Japan, however now exploring the Kansai area, which is our residence base for the following couple of weeks.
We’ll be again in Tokyo in direction of the top of this month and in June, and can hopefully have the ability to attend a smooth opening (or two) of Fantasy Springs at the moment. Nevertheless, we’re involved that gained’t be doable for causes mentioned under.
The problem which will preclude extra widespread (free) smooth openings is beforehand scheduled (paid) previews of Fantasy Springs. There are a variety of these, with friends chosen by lottery as a part of a promotion earlier this yr, in addition to the official fan membership (assume D23, however only for Japan), in addition to company sponsors.
To the perfect of our information, upcoming Fantasy Springs paid previews can be held Might 21-22, 2024. The FUNderful Fan Membership will then have its paid previews Might 28 to June 2, 2024. We don’t have an inventory of company sponsor preview dates, however they’re most likely in there someplace, too.
One wildcard is that the FUNderful Fan Membership previews supposedly embrace an asterisk that there could also be different friends in Fantasy Springs throughout their occasion. I’m paraphrasing second-hand info right here, relayed to us by a Japanese pal who’s attending a type of occasions and beforehand speculated that smooth openings may be doable on these dates regardless of the ticketed occasions. (With smooth openings beginning this early, it’s wanting like he could be proper!)
The underside line is that we don’t understand how lengthy smooth openings of Fantasy Springs will proceed, whether or not they’ll be a every day incidence, or how they’ll change.
My greatest guess is that there’s a window between now and Might 21, 2024 that’s conducive to every day smooth openings, and once more from Might 23-27, 2024. Extra smooth openings June 3-4 additionally make sense, however I may see the land being closed for an official grand opening celebration with VIPs on June 5, 2024. (It appears like there’s a drone present scheduled for that night, for no matter that’s value.)
As for the opposite days throughout which paid previews are occurring, I wouldn’t guess for or towards smooth openings. My hunch is that they gained’t occur all day–that the FUNderful of us and others get a “head begin” on Fantasy Springs and {that a} smooth opening happens in a while within the day as a mix-in sorta deal. In any other case everybody who paid massive bucks for the preview can be fairly pissed off. (In studying Japanese DisTwitter, they already are!) We’ll maintain you posted, so keep tuned!
