URAYASU, CHIBA—Tokyo Disney Resort will kick off its 25th Anniversary on April

of a century ago in April 1983 with the opening of the first “theme park” in Japan, Tokyo
Disneyland Park.  Thus, fittingly, Tokyo Disney Resort 25th Anniversary will open with
a new daytime parade at Tokyo Disneyland, the place where it all began.  In this
spectacular new parade, the much-loved Disney characters will welcome guests as a part
of the family, and invite everyone to embark on a heartfelt journey to share their dreams
and rediscover the magic of the beloved place they call “home.”
   
During this milestone year, Tokyo Disney Resort will also open two new facilities
that will further enhance the appeal of the Resort.  The third Disney Hotel in Japan, the
new Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, will have its grand opening in July.  The new hotel will
provide a memorable, dream-like experience for guests who wish to enjoy Tokyo
Disneyland Park and continue to be immersed in the world of Disney during their entire
stay at the Resort.  Also during the same year, a new th eater built exclusively for Cirque
du Soleil will open in autumn.  This will be the first permanent Cirque du Soleil theater
to be built outside of North America.  Guests to the new theater will encounter more
wonder and dreams at the Resort through the performances by Cirque du Soleil, a group
renowned for combining the elements of a circus with an artistic presentation. 

Furthermore, various existing facilities at Tokyo Disney Resort will host an array of
yearlong programs to celebrate the 25th Anniversary, in addition to the popular seasonal
Halloween and Christmas programs.  The yearlong celebration will have its grand finale
at Tokyo Disneyland Park, where it all started 25 years ago.

Tokyo Disney Resort is also planning deliver its “dreams” to various areas
throughout Japan by hosting 25th Anniversary programs outside of the Resort.   

Since the opening of Tokyo Disneyland Park on April 15, 1983, Tokyo Disney
Resort has opened diverse facilities filled with entertainment in the Maihama area.
