Helloooo from Tokyo DisneySea and its absolutely incredible new land, Fantasy Springs! We’ve been invited by Disney to preview the land, and we’re about to go inside for the FIRST TIME. So stay tuned for a whole bunch of LIVE experiences eating, riding, and exploring the Peter Pan, Tangled, and Frozen themed areas of the land!
But first, we have to share THESE! Disney released a bunch of media photos of the new land, including inside the restaurants and rides. And of course, we have to show you inside the real live Snuggly Duckling Restaurant in the Rapunzel’s Forest area of the park!
Now, if going inside an honest-to-goodness real life version of one of the restaurants we’ve been begging Disney to create for years isn’t enough, let me assure you…it does NOT disappoint!
This restaurant is based on Tangled, Disney’s 2010 telling of the story of Rapunzel. It’s a rustic counter-service restaurant that makes you feel like you stepped right into the film. (Do you have your frying pan?!)
There seems to be plenty of room in here — enough for 620 guests according to Disney. And one of the focal points is the Rapunzel and Maximus mural!
Wood and flagstone flooring (are those flagstones?! someone correct me if they’re not…) is punctuated with massive, thick wooden columns which are topped in turn with a wooden beam ceiling. We are definitely in the forest here, my friends!
Another focal point is, of course, the STAGE. Because we ALL HAVE OUR DREAMS here at the Snuggly Duckling! The stage is held up with ale barrels and holds a rustic-looking, but still “grand” piano! The whole thing is very makeshift and depicts the scene from the movie perfectly.
The details are impeccable, though. Check out this puppet show featuring Pascal and Maximus!
Around the beams and lanterns, you can see Rapunzel’s stamp on the place, too, of course. Look at the whimsical paintings she’s done! They kind of look like strands of her hair!
The last focal point mural showcases all of our friends, including Flynn Rider, Rapunzel, Ulf, and more!
But what can you get for grub here? Well, like I said, our review is coming up soon. But Disney has showcased a couple of items like the Ducklings Dream Cheeseburger…
…and the Sweet Ever After Dessert!
Some great news for those of you visiting Fantasy Springs soon: The Snuggly Duckling will take MOBILE ORDER!! Be sure to download the Tokyo Disneyland app before you go and familiarize yourself with how to use it. It’s a huge help!
The Snuggly Duckling, and all of the restaurants and rides in the new Fantasy Springs in Tokyo DisneySea, will officially open on June 6th, 2024! Stay tuned to DFB for more live coverage of our media preview this week!
