Tokyo DisneySea has long been considered one of the best theme parks in the world. In June 2024, the park reached a new milestone with the opening of Fantasy Springs, the largest expansion in the history of Tokyo Disney Resort.
Costing roughly ¥320 billion (about $2 billion) and covering 140,000 square meters, Fantasy Springs introduces a magical world inspired by beloved Disney films. The area is built around the theme “a magical spring that leads guests into Disney fantasy worlds.”
Visitors enter through a breathtaking landscape of waterfalls, fountains, and stone sculptures of Disney characters, creating an immersive gateway into three new lands:
- Frozen Kingdom
- Rapunzel’s Forest
- Peter Pan’s Never Land
There is also a small Pixie Hollow area themed around Tinker Bell.
Since April 2025, the entry restriction system was removed, meaning any guest with a regular Tokyo DisneySea ticket can enter the area freely. However, because Fantasy Springs remains extremely popular, wait times for attractions can still be very long.
