About TOKYO DISNEYSEA


Tokyo DisneySea Park is a richly imaginative world of adventure, romance, discovery and fun-a celebration of the myths and realities of the sea in the grand tradition of Disney family entertainment. The second Disney Park in Japan, and the first Disney Park to be inspired by legends of the sea, Tokyo DisneySea is located adjacent to the popular Tokyo Disneyland Park, on the shores of Tokyo Bay.

Upon entering the Park, guests will see the DisneySea AquaSphere, a unique, globe-shaped sculpture and fountain which represents our Earth, the "water planet." Symbolizing the ocean-themed adventures waiting inside the Park, the AquaSphere will amaze viewers with dynamic cascades of water that flow down and around the globe, mysteriously clinging to its surface.

Beyond the entrance, guests will find seven, distinct "ports of call." Mediterranean Harbor offers the old-world charm of a romantic southern European seaport, while American Waterfront nostalgically showcases the harbors of New York and Cape Cod at the beginning of the 20th century. Across the horizons of time, the futuristic marina of Port Discovery celebrates the adventure and excitement of new frontiers in the sea and sky. Guests will confront ancient perils and hidden mysteries in the jungles of Lost River Delta and encounter Aladdin and his playful Genie pal when they explore the exotic enchantment of The Arabian Nights along the shores of Arabian Coast. The whimsical "under the sea" world of Ariel from the classic Disney animated film The Little Mermaid (1989) comes alive in Mermaid Lagoon. And deep within the smoldering volcano of Mysterious Island, guests will discover portals to fantastic adventures with the legendary Captain Nemo.

The exciting adventures and romantic tales to be found at these seven ports of call are brought to life in a variety of unique attractions. When guests board StormRider in Port Discovery, they will experience all the thrills of soaring high above the clouds and diving into the eye of a storm. Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull in Lost River Delta takes visitors on a perilous journey through the secret corridors of a foreboding Central American pyramid. Guests can board boats in Arabian Coast and join the famous sailor, Sindbad, on a storybook journey of his treacherous travels in Sindbad's Story Book Voyages. In Mysterious Island, guests will discover hidden wonders of the ocean in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and embark on a thrilling adventure far below an active volcano in Journey to the Center of the Earth.

In addition to many attractions, Tokyo DisneySea also features dazzling live entertainment and events, distinctive fine dining and unique shopping opportunities. Guests will also enjoy encounters with the world-famous Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck, as well as the Genie from the Disney animated feature film Aladdin (1992), and Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Another unique aspect of Tokyo DisneySea is a richly themed, luxury hotel located inside the Park. Situated on the Park's main waterfront in Mediterranean Harbor, the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta offers breathtaking views of the Park and Tokyo Bay. As an integral part of the overall experience, the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta allows guests to continue "living the dream" by staying overnight in the Park's adventure-filled world.

The two Disney Parks complement and enhance each other. The foundation for Tokyo Disneyland remains the traditional, classic Disney stories of fantasy, dreams and magic, while Tokyo DisneySea presents new Disney experiences based on a wealth of ocean lore and facts, focusing on imaginative worlds of adventure, romance, discovery and fun.

Walt Disney once said, of his original park in Anaheim, California, "Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world." This is certainly true as well for the Tokyo Disney Resort experience. With the addition of Tokyo DisneySea Park right next to Tokyo Disneyland Park, the grand tradition of Disney family entertainment will continue for an audience that is growing every year.
