Prepare for one of the most imaginative and exciting expansions in the history of Tokyo Disneyland, bringing with it new attractions and experiences from all over the Disney story vault that includes beloved titles Beauty and the Beast and Big Hero Six. The news, which sparked a viral following this week on social media, revealed that Fantasyland in Tokyo Disneyland will double in size and will be ready for visitors in Spring 2020.

Fantasyland’s expansion will be centered around a new themed area for Beauty and the Beast, complete with a 98-foot version of Belle and Beast’s castle. The castle will be home to a brand new attraction, the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, which will invite fans to take part in the story in a whole new way, riding along in vehicles that will take them through the “tale as old as time” to the rhythm of the film’s iconic music.
