TEXT: RAEWYN KOH PHOTOGRAPHS: ©DISNEY, RAEWYN KOHhe summer of 2016 marks a special
occasion for Tokyo DisneySea® Park. The
only Disney Park themed to the sea is
celebrating its 15th anniversary since its opening
on 4 September 2001. Tokyo DisneySea® Park is
the second Disney Park to open in Japan and is
located just next to the popular Tokyo
Disneyland® Park. The two parks complement and
enhance each other. Tokyo Disneyland® Park is its
more traditional park, and retains classic Disney
stories of fantasy, dreams and magic, while Tokyo
DisneySea® Park inspires with its experiences
based on ocean lore and facts focusing on
adventure, romance, discovery and fun.
This year’s anniversary celebration for Tokyo
DisneySea® Park carries the theme of “Wishes”.
During the year-long celebration, crystals of
various colours symbolising the individual wishes
of Mickey Mouse and the Disney Friends will
decorate the park. The Crystals of Wishes is
integrated into the brand new show, Crystal
Wishes Journey that is presented in the waters at
Mediterranean Harbor. The thrilling show of song
and dance in colourful costumes ends with a
vibrant display of kites flying past, pyrotechnics
and the cast parading past on their boats to signify
the start of new journeys for the 15th anniversary
of Tokyo DisneySea® Park.
Guests are also invited to collect their own
Crystals of Wishes with the new interactive Crystal
Compass, a special commemorative merchandise
created just for the event. The wand-like device
requires guests to run around the park looking for
the seven Crystal Points. Collect the different
colours of the Crystal Wishes and have all seven
points of the Crystal Compass light up! The real
magic occurs during the night time Fantasmic!
