The biggest buzz this year is the opening of Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea—a $2 billion expansion featuring immersive worlds from Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. Attractions like Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey, Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, and Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure are now open to all guests via standby lines or Disney Premier Access.

• Tokyo Disneyland is your classic Disney experience with iconic rides like Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and It's a Small World. It’s perfect for families and first-time visitors.

• Tokyo DisneySea is unique to Japan and leans more into adventure and storytelling. Think Journey to the Center of the Earth, Soaring: Fantastic Flight, and now Fantasy Springs. It’s ideal for older kids, couples, and Disney veterans.
