Tokyo Disney Resort Celebrates 30th Anniversary

Earlier this week, the Tokyo Disney Resort began celebrating its 30th anniversary! On Monday, April 15, 2013, a year-long celebration began with a grand celebration at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Exactly thirty years before, the first guests walked through the gates at Disney’s first international theme park, the Tokyo Disney Resort. Tokyo DisneySea debuted in 2001, which has helped the resort become Japan’s most popular family destination.

The Tokyo Disney Resort has plenty of fun planned for visitors this year! You can experience new attractions and entertainment – including the May debut of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue – along with specially designed collectibles, unique menu items, and some pretty great decor. Here is a highlight of some special activities and events planned:

• The 30th anniversary theme is “The Happiness Year,” and a new Tokyo Disneyland daytime parade will debut called Happiness is Here – starring Disney characters from throughout the years, including Goofy, Aladdin and Winnie the Pooh along with characters from Toy Story and Alice in Wonderland. The decorations around the Tokyo Disney Resort – including the monorail train and the main parade float – will feature plenty of colorful “Happiness Balloons.”
  
• One of the most exciting parts of the festivities is the May 7 debut of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue at Tokyo Disneyland. A complete renovation of the attraction that opened in 1989, the 3-D intergalactic adventure takes space travelers for a journey through the Star Wars universe. There are more than 50 possible story combinations produced through the random selection of multiple scenarios that have been created for each of the scenes.
• You can find dozens of anniversary items including lunch bags, Mickey ears, collectible spoons and children’s plates. Food and beverage offerings throughout the resort such as specialty desserts and buffet meals will also add to the fun, as will exclusive room amenities themed to the 30th anniversary celebration at the hotels.

Congratulations, Tokyo Disney Resort!
