The insane new £1.5bn theme park that's just opened with mashup of three Disney films

Tokyo DisneySea has just unveiled its hotly-anticipated £1.5billion expansion, with a host of new rides and attractions now open to the public.

The new themed land, dubbed Fantasy Springs, spans 140,000 square meters and is a mash-up of fan favourite Disney film franchises “Peter Pan,” “Frozen” and “Tangled”.

The site, which was built at a cost of 310 billion yen (£1.5billion), is DisneySea's eighth so-called "port", and is accessible through a tunnel passage made out of rocks in the shape of characters from the three film universes.

Four new rides have been installed behind the waterfall, called Magic Fountain, as well as a brand new hotel and eight eateries (three of which are in the hotel).

Fans have also been eagerly awaiting the port's Rapunzel’s Forest, the first area inspired by the Tangled franchise, which boasts a recreation of Rapunzel's tower, and Rapunzel's Lantern Festival, a five-minute gondola ride through the area.

Visitors can also join in the adventures of the "boy who never grows up" in the Peter Pan-themed area. The new Never Land Adventure invites visitors to join forces with Tinker Bell and the Lost Kids to save John Darling from Captain Hook and his henchmen.

Tokyo Disney Resort already had the Peter Pan’s Flight attraction at Tokyo Disneyland, but Disney says the latest addition is a fresh experience, which “seamlessly blends ride vehicle motion with show elements and all-new animation, including a groundbreaking projection system.”

People visiting with children can also enjoy a family-friendly buggy ride through Pixie Hollow, the home of Tinkerbell and her friends.

Food and refreshments can be found at the Lookout Cookout restaurant, serving up chicken tenders and Pixi Dust soda, or if you're looking for something a bit different, roast beef-flavoured popcorn will be for sale in the area.

Meanwhile, Frozen Kingdom takes guests through an adventure with Anna and Elsa, through the use of projection mapping technology.

The six-and-a-half-minute ride makes for a raucous singalong as guests enjoy stand-out hits from the franchise like, “Do you want to build a snowman?”, “For the First Time in Forever,” “Love is an Open Door” and the wildly popular “Let it Go.”

After you've worked up an appetite belting out Frozen stompers, the Royal Banquet of Arendelle restaurant is nearby, built inside a stunning replica of the grand Arendelle Castle and decked out with artwork and books from the Frozen world.

Meanwhile, the “Oaken’s OK Foods” bakehouse - which takes its name from the shopkeeper in the 2013 movie - has a smorgasbord of Scandinavian-style eats.

A one-day passport for Fantasy Springs Magic is currently in Tokyo Disney’s hotel vacation packages or can be bought by guests staying at the new Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel built inside the expansion.

Two types of rooms are available: the 419-key Fantasy Chateau, as well the more swanky 56-room Grand Chateau, CNN reports.

The three restaurants within include a lobby lounge, an all-day dining restaurant inspired by Disney forests, as well as French restaurant Le Rebellure.

Guests who don't have a room at a Disney hotel can obtain standby passes or buy a Disney Premier Access allowing them to enter Fantasy Springs, though there is a cap on visitors.

In the fiscal year up to March 31, 2025, Tokyo Disney Resort is forecasting that some 29 million people will visit either Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea, marking a 5.4 percent increase in attendance from the 2024 fiscal year, Forbes reports.
