The special events, filled with seasonal happiness, held at the two Parks also proved to be highly popular.
In addition to these programs, Tokyo Disney Resort’s celebration of its 30th anniversary, a major milestone, motivated Guests to visit the Parks and effectivelygenerated an attendance surpassing the figures from the previous years. Moreover, favorable external factors such as the low number of rainy days, the rise in the number of travelers within Japan, and higher demand for leisure activities resulted in a significant increase in the number of Guests visiting the Parks from the Tokyo metropolitan area and vicinity, making this fiscal year’s first half attendance our highest ever.
