Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

[Magic Feather]

Does anyone know how many expansion pads are available inside TDS other than the area near port discovery where the Frozen area was originally proposed?

Not a ton. There’s the original Frozen pad and one near the old Ariel Meet n’ Greet (Between Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast). Other than that, I one time heard that the Bus Area (begins TSM) could eventually be considered one.

I was looking up the aforementioned expansion pads and noticed that google maps has updated its 3d imagery for the resort. The 3D is currently more up to date than the 2D, which is unusual.

Things to note:
Land clearing for Fantasy Springs
New Fantasyland buildings under construction
New entrance and parking garage under construction
Fantastic Flight now viewable in 3D

Google Earth shows an even more updated ariel view of the resort.

I took a screenshot of Fantasy Springs & New Fantasyland

The image was taken April 7, 2020, during the park closure. Looks like they were repaving the parade route?

I believe this version used the plussed up FEA that HK and Paris are getting.

Do you know anything about the version Tokyo is getting now? I believe their press release mentioned a boat ride but nothing more since then.

Thank you for the screen shot!! Wow.
It looks like a person could hop a wall behind Toontown and land in fanstasy Springs.
Which Fantasy Springs land will butt-up to the new Be Our Guest show building?

Only Sea of dreams Will be the only entertainment at TDR to have full performers as for other entertainments it seems that 2022 is the logical dateline for them to return.

2023 is Tokyo Disneyland 40th anniversary. That would make sense.
