Tokyo Disneyland’s new expansion, ‘New Fantasyland’, is scheduled to open in 2020. The upcoming area will include the ‘Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast’ attraction.
The opening date of April 15, 2020 was announced by Oriental Land Co (OLC), who unveiled more information about the upcoming development.
Alongside the Beauty and the Beast attraction, Tokyo Disneyland will boast an indoor theatre, ‘Fantasyland Forest Theatre’.
Experience the immersive world of Belle and the Beast
‘Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast’ will feature Maurice’s Cottage at the entrance, as well as Gaston’s Fountain.
The immersive land also boasts Belle’s Village, with restaurants and shops, and the Beauty and the Beast Castle, where the attraction is located.
Visitors will follow Belle and the Beast on a romantic musical adventure in vehicles that dance to the film’s soundtrack.
As guests leave the ride and enter the forest, they’ll find the Fantasyland Forest Theatre – Tokyo Disneyland’s first full-scale indoor theatre.
Tomorrowland and Toontown are also getting new additions, ‘The Happy Ride with Baymax’ and ‘Minnie’s Style Studio’, opening on the same day.
