Halloween festivities may have ended just a month ago at Tokyo Disney Resort, but the two theme parks in Tokyo are now fully immersed in the holiday spirit, which is happening now until December 25.
Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea will have a 15 metre-tall Christmas tree each, all decked out with colourful ornaments and golden garlands. Along with the main tree at DisneySea which is set up at the American Waterfront area, you'll find another tree decorated with ornaments of Duffy and friends at Cape Cod.
Disneyland will run two parades as usual, one during the day and another after dark. The daytime Disney Christmas Stories parade will feature Christmas-themed floats carrying Mickey Mouse and his friends in cosy winter outfits. The evening Electrical Parade Dream Lights, on the other hand, will feature illuminations as well as a special Christmas medley.
At DisneySea, you can catch the Disney Christmas Greeting at the Mediterranean Harbor.
Don’t forget to enjoy all the Christmas meals and treats while you’re there. Until Christmas Day, you can try an omurice (omelette over rice) served with deep-fried shrimp and tomato cream sauce at Grandma Sara’s Kitchen, gratin bacon cheese hot dog at the Refreshment Corner, and a hot apple ginger drink at The Gazebo.
Keep an eye out for exclusive Christmas merchandise, which is now available online and in stores. You’ll find greeting cards, wreaths, matching Mickey and Minnie rings, blankets, and more.
