    Cherry Blossom Minnie Ears Are The Newest Hot Seller At Disneyland Tokyo

    As much of the world is still recovering from Rose Gold and Millennial Pink fever it seems a new color fad may be the only cure. These brand-new Cherry Blossom sequined Minnie ears are extremely popular and selling out fast at Tokyo Disneyland Resort.

    The ears debuted back in early March at both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea just in time for sakura season — a.k.a. cherry blossom season — and these new ears are so popular that they’ve been hard to keep on the shelves.

    Springtime in Japan is nothing less than magical. From late March to mid-April, or even early may, the country’s iconic Cherry Blossoms capture the attention of visitors and locals as their beautiful pink flowers blanket the country in soft, colorful splendor.

    This makes these the perfect mouse ears for people who are trying to get into the Sakura Spirit and love to seasonally match their ensemble. Perhaps these aren’t really a cure for the latest color fads at all, but rather meant to help fed the addiction of Minnie Mouse headband collectors.

    Don’t worry, even though cherry blossom season is nearly over you can still grab these if there are not sold out. You can also find them online for as low as $30.

  • A Brand New Disney Theme Park Is in the Works

    A Brand New Disney Theme Park Is in the Works

    Another new Disney theme park is again in the works. With all of the new lands and coming attractions there are so many reasons to travel to Disneyland and Walt Disney World in the next few years, but if you want to experience this completely new park, get ready for a long flight. Tokyo Disney Resort complex which includes the Disneyland and DisneySea theme parks, has revealed plans for a massive expansion.

    Nearly 35 years ago, Disney expanded its international reach with Tokyo Disneyland, later adding Tokyo DisneySea in 2001 as a second theme park in Japan. Oriental Land Company licenses the rights from Walt Disney Co. to operate the Tokyo resort that includes Disneyland, DisneySea, hotels and shopping malls, but Disney still has full creative control.

    The park will feature new attractions and new characters with a massive 300 billion yen ($2.7 billion) investment plan. Disney and its partners in the Oriental Land Company have revealed the Japanese theme park that will shift the focus to its host country with new characters and attractions.

    More details should be announced by May 2018, but the newly announced park, could bring rides and experiences that touch upon the history, art, and unique terrain of the country. The Japanese company is in talks Disney on the expansion, which may include an area dedicated to Disney’s hit movie “Frozen” and other attractions that are not featured at other Disney theme parks. Construction is expected to begin in 2025 and this will be the biggest expansion since DisneySea opened in 2001. All this according to the official release (via Mainichi News)

    This comes as Osaka’s Universal Studios Japan has surged in popularity, thanks to Harry Potter and Minions attractions. Universal Studios Japan is also getting a Mario-themed expansion, which should further the park’s popularity.

    Tokyo Disney Resort has also received some upgrades with more on the way. Tokyo DisneySea, which recently opened Nemo and Friends SeaRider will bring Soarin’ to the park in the next few years, and Tokyo Disneyland will add a new “Big Hero 6” themed ride to Tomorrowland as well as a “Beauty and the Beast” section to its Fantasyland area. The expansion will host a theatre for stage performances as well as an immersive attraction, which is said to utilize the park’s famed trackless ride system pioneered on its popular Pooh’s Hunny Hunt attraction. The expansions, which were announced last spring, are set to open by 2020.

    Although this new park is still several years away from fruition, Disney fans will likely keep a close eye on it because any new rides that are built for this resort may eventually come to Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Shanghai Disneyland’s popular Tron ride is already slated to come to Disney World, and we’re eager to see what comes out of Disney’s newest creations.
