An attraction based off the hit animated film Frozen is coming to the Tokyo Disney Resort. This is part of a capitol investment plan announced earlier this year that should invest 500 billion yen ($4.58 billion) into the Resort over the next ten years. According to Nikkei, the attraction would open in 2017 at Tokyo Disneyland.
According to the investment plan, both theme parks would receive “multiple major attractions” along with shops, restaurants and infrastructure. The area to be renovated at Tokyo Disneyland would be focused on Fantasyland. Part of these plans include moving It’s a Small World to a new home. This could end up being the home of the castle from Frozen that houses the afore-mentioned attraction. In Tokyo DisneySea, the changes would focus on an area to the South of the Lost River Delta (images below). While many changes will be seen on stage by guests, there will also be changes backstage. This could include moving of kitchens, offices, and a logistics center to nearby properties.
The goal behind all of these enhancements is to continue to improve the guest experience. It should be noted that while the Oriental Land Company has sent out the following press release, there are still a lot of unknowns. Things could (and most likely will) change.
