Tokyo DisneySea is getting the highly anticipated Fantasy Springs expansion later this year, complete with areas themed to Tangled, Frozen, and Peter Pan. But on top of that, there will be a new Fantasy Springs hotel. And one section of that hotel is going to be the most expensive Disney hotel yet.
Disney has a LOT of big plans for the next decade or so.
Disney Parks are getting bigger over the next decade
The company is planning on spending a WHOPPING $60 billion to expand the Parks, Experiences, and Products segment of the company. Although some of that money will go towards expanding Disney Cruise Line and other products, a LOT of that will also go to expanding its theme parks, with many projects already underway. So if you can’t keep track of all of Disney’s CURRENT list of upcoming theme park expansion projects (because it’s a LOT), we’ve got you covered.
Over in Disney World, we were SUPER excited to learn that Rapunzel finally got some recognition in Magic Kingdom.

Of course, all she really got was a tower that we can see in the distance, plus some bathrooms. Granted, we LOVE those bathrooms, but Rapunzel needs more love! Well, she’s finally getting an entire LAND as part of Tokyo DisneySea’s NEW expansion, Fantasy Springs. That land is going to have the one thing we’ve always dreamed of — A Snuggly Duckling! But what will be on the menu there? Well, we’re taking a wild guess!
Big things are happening at the Disneyland Resort!

A possible Disneyland expansion, officially known as DisneylandForward, has been in play since March 2021 and we could be moving closer to a decision/progress in the near future. During a recent Anaheim City Council meeting, developers went into more detail about what expansion could feature, including what would be a VERY popular new land!
If you’re not already planning your trip to Tokyo Disney — what are you waiting for?!

We know, we know, life. But, if you haven’t considered booking a trip just yet you probably will once you learn all about the Fantasy Springs expansion! This new land will bring three new themed lands featuring Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. There will be new attractions, rides, and restaurants. Plus, there will be a new Fantasy Springs Hotel inside the park — and reservations are officially open now!
We keep up with alllll the latest news coming out of Disneyland Resort and Disney World, but we also keep our eyes on what’s happening at the international Disney parks! Spoiler alert: some BIG things are happening overseas.Â

I’ve got a dream…
Rapunzel in Disney World
Yep, excuse us while we bust out with some lyrics from Tangled. But that’s what this post is all about. Okay, so here’s the deal. We’re thinking we need to see a LOT more of Rapunzel in the theme parks and not just merchandise. We’re still disappointed that all we got in Disney World Tangled-themed are some cool bathrooms — PUNZIE DESERVES BETTER. Well, there are some indications that we may actually get a Rapunzel-themed restaurant in Disneyland, and if that happens, we’re booking a flight to Anaheim ASAP.
