New attractions have been announced for Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea as part of a 4 year expansion plan:
Disney Parks & Resorts wrote: Tokyo Disneyland will expand its Fantasyland to include a new area inspired by “Beauty & The Beast” film, including a themed attraction, shop and restaurant. The yet-to-be-named attraction will allow guests to board “enchanted dishes” that dance in rhythm to the film’s music. Guests will journey into Beast’s Castle just in time to break the spell that will help Belle make Beast human again. The park’s Fantasyland will also get a dedicated indoor theater for future live performances.
Other additions at Disneyland include an attraction inspired by the film “Big Hero 6” for Tomorrowland. In it, the lovable robot Baymax will invite guests to join their own “personal healthcare companion” on a musical whip ride that swings them around and around.
Minnie Mouse will be the star of a new Disney character greeting location planned for the park’s Toontown area. There, guests can walk through Minnie’s design studio and then meet her in person.
Over at Tokyo DisneySea, the park will add Soarin’ to its Mediterranean Harbor area. Similar to the attraction at Epcot and Disney California Adventure park guests will take in sights and scents as they journey over famous landscapes.
The Baymax attraction appears (but is not confirmed) to be an overlay of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree at Disney California Adventure.
Although not part of the announcement, the Soarin' concept art (and placement in Mediterranean Harbor) appears to indicate the attraction may have a unique Da Vinchi flying machine theme.
