A “Big Hero 6” ride, a “Beauty and the Beast” area, and more are coming to the Tokyo Disney parks

The Tokyo Disney Resort has announced plans to add several new attractions to both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. A press release unleashed today details plans for the new additions through the year 2020.

The new attractions include a new version of Soarin’, a Big Hero 6 ride, Minnie Mouse meet and greet, and a Beauty and the Beast Area.

Areas to be developed:

The new addition to Fantasyland will feature a major attraction, a new 1,500 seat live theater, and new shops and restaurants. According to the press release, “Guests board enchanted serving dishes that dance in rhythm to the film’s well-known music and follow Belle on a romantic musical adventure inside the enchanted Castle where she dances her way into the heart of the Beast, just in time to break the fateful spell.”

The development of the new area and facilities is expected to cost about 75 billion Japanese yen! Disney seems to be doing what they can to make guests of all parks’ experiences even better. Perhaps after these attractions prove successful in Tokyo they’ll add them to other Disney parks as well!

Look out for these and other Disney parks additions in the future.
