Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

What's the chances that Fantasy Springs begins as a lottery system?

They’ve already announced it will be a virtual queue haven’t they? So the early birds will get in but later won’t. Different for the shows when there is a lottery - I don’t think blocking access to 4 rides would go down well.

The hotel still looks oddly two-dimensional in a park that had built a reputation for it's three-dimensional design.

I cringe every time I see another shot of that hotel.

From the model and concept art the park-facing side of the hotel should be slightly better, but it's wild to me this giant Holiday Inn is gonna be more expensive to stay than Miracosta

I just hope it’s not too visible from in the park. The monorail shots it completely throws off the scale of the rest of the land. Like here’s the North mountain with Elsa’s Ice Castle on top, and right next to it here’s a hotel that’s taller than the mountain

Yeah I've been worried about that from day 1
Hopefully they were careful about the sightlines like TDR usually is

I think that's been done already, I've seen somewhere lots of mountain backdrop that's going to block off the buildings.

The mountain backdrop painted on the hotel itself is for the views from the BATB area
We don't really know how much of the hotel will or won't be visible from inside Fantasy Springs

ive just looked at some new photos of the hotel and it kinda looks like a carboard box that they used stencils on..

When it comes to Disney(and Universal) normally when seeing such obvious questionable architecture and style at this stage of any project there would be prima-facie evidence to convict them for the “crime” of producing garbage.

But this is OLC and I must consider their long history of creating stellar projects with astonishing details; so in fairness I have to wait until I see first hand the completed project before rendering a verdict. They’ve earned the benefit of the doubt.

It is interesting to see that USJ Donkey kong area will open in SPRING 2024, Same timeline as Fantasy Springs.

According to Funderful Disney A Tokyo Disney Resort official fanclub, the entrance will be inside The fantasy springs hotel for fanclub winners.

It's amazing how well they did the forced perspective on this.
