New Fantasy Springs Ad for Tokyo Disneysea Expansion

Just take a look at this! It's been appearing in multiple places all over Tokyo- a brand new ad for the Fantasy Springs expansion at the  already beautiful Tokyo Disneysea. Areas devoted to Peter Pan, the Frozen gang, and Rapunzel and friends will make for a very popular addition. 

Looking at the art, you can see the hotel in the background as well as Rapunzel's Forest, Peter Pan's Never Land, and Frozen Kingdom.

Will you even be able to get in? I don't know as it seems to be a tough thing to do unless you pay mega-yen to stay at the brand new Fantasy Springs Hotel or have some insider connection. If you want more news on the expansion from a great guy who lives in Japan, go no further than the You Tube channel of 8-Bit Theme Park Japan. They broke the news on this ad, and they will be a surefire source of all the latest information.

Imagineering the Design Details at the Tokyo Disney Resort

Lots and lots of Disney park fan sites (including this one) can get very serious at times. While I sincerely love all the insightful journalism, sometimes you just want to have fun. And let me tell you, if you are a fan of the Tokyo Disney Resort, one of the most enjoyable sites on the web is 8-Bit Theme Park Japan

The site's host is clearly a lover of Imagineering, focusing on both old school craft and newer attractions. With a warm presentation full of childlike innocence, you can almost hear shades of the wonder like those found in descriptions of Disneyland in its early years. A very nice change of pace from what's popular these days.

From the spectacular fan favorite Pooh's Hunny Hunt to the lesser known Pan Galactic Pizza Port, The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast to Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin, the video linked above touches on the best of the park's illusions. It's all in the details. Big or small, nothing is overlooked. 

Watch a few videos. You just might get hooked on these. I know I can't wait to see what comes next.
