New Entertainment at Tokyo Disneyland in 2014 and Tokyo DisneySea in 2015

At Tokyo Disneyland

“Once Upon a Time”

A fantastic and heartwarming nighttime entertainment, “Once Upon a Time” richly using projection mapping technology. Projection mapping makes it possible to project images in a way that fits the contours of buildings and other structures to produce a three-dimensional effect. This is the first time for this technology to be used in an entertainment program at Tokyo Disney Resort®.

Many of the inspiring stories from the Disney films, including Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland will be vividly projected in 3D on the exterior of Cinderella Castle, the symbol of Tokyo Disneyland. This show will also include popular musical pieces from these films and special effects, such as on-stage pyrotechnics.

Show Facts

• Duration: About 15 minutes
• Venue: Cinderella Castle
• Opening Date: Spring or summer 2014 (tentative)
• Investment Amount: About 2 billion yen (tentative)

At Tokyo DisneySea

New production at Mermaid Lagoon Theater

The attraction, Mermaid Lagoon Theater, will be revamped, and a new musical production themed to Disney’s The Little Mermaid will be presented.

Mermaid Lagoon Theater will be renovated with upgraded stage and lighting technology, as well as new display screens to be installed at the rear of the audience seating area. As King Triton hosts a musical concert, familiar Disney characters, such as Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian, will present a mesmerizing world under the sea, just as in the movie, with lively music, songs and dynamic performances.

Show Facts

• Duration: About 15 minutes
• Opening Date: Spring 2015 (tentative)
• Investment Amount: Undecided

Please note that the musical production “Under the Sea,” currently presented at Mermaid Lagoon Theater, will close permanently on April 6, 2014. Mermaid Lagoon Theater will be closed from April 7, 2014 to spring of 2015.

A Tokyo Disney Sea artwork tribute - Part Four

I did previously three articles dedicated to Tokyo Disney Sea fantastic artwork, but here is some new renderings and for one or two of them, better scans than the one previously posted. As some of them are in "panoramic" size, double-click on each to enjoy them in big size.

Let's begin by the entrance and Mediterranean Harbor and let's have a look to some renderings which served as inspiration for this land. The one above was inspired by the Toscana region, in Italy.

This next one was of course inspired by the famous italian Portofino village.



The artwork below was indeed inspired by Venezia, the city of the Doges!



Here is an artwork inspired by the city of Firenze , and used for the TDS Miracosta hotel.



At last the fantastic artwork of Mysterious Island in good quality.



Here is the entrance of Mermaid Lagoon.



A great artwork of the beautiful Arabian coast.



Another one, great too, for Lost River Delta.



Here is rendering showing Port Discovery and the Storm Rider entrance.



Let's end by another rare rendering showing the Cape Cod area. Recently, it was announced that a kind of Toy Story Mania attraction will be build in the park, using the same technology but probably on a different theme than Toy Story, and i'm ready to bet that it will be build in the Cape Cod area as there is no attraction at all. Also, a look at the rendering help to understand how they could easily create a kind of "boardwalk" area.



That's all for today, hope you've enjoyed this tokyo Disney Sea artwork!
