Tokyo Disney Resort® will offer special programs at Tokyo Disneyland® Park, Tokyo DisneySea® Park, the Disney Hotels and more during the summer season.

And both Parks will offer summertime special events with entertainment that features lots of splashing water so that Guests can have a cool, fun-filled time.
In conjunction with the Tokyo DisneySea 15th Anniversary, a brand new musical show, “Out of Shadowland,” will premiere on July 9 at the Hangar Stage in Lost River Delta. Through colorful images, dynamic scenes and powerful live performances, Guests will experience a world unlike any seen before.
Guests can also enjoy the Tokyo DisneySea special event, “Disney Summer
Festival,” with its Latin excitement and motifs of tropical fruit. Presented at Mediterranean Harbor again this year is “Minnie’s Tropical Splash” with Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck and Clarice wearing new costumes. They are joined by Jose Carioca and Panchito in this celebration of a bountiful harvest of fruit. Vivid colors and “juicy” fruit motifs can be found on the Park merchandise, menus and decorations, making this tropical summer festival even more exciting.
Also at Tokyo DisneySea, Guests will find “artwork” created by Gelatoni (a friend of Duffy the Disney Bear) in the Palazzo Canals area of Mediterranean Harbor. And from July 1, new merchandise featuring Duffy and his friends will go on sale, as well as new food items featuring Gelatoni.
The Tokyo Disneyland special event, “Disney Natsu Matsuri,” gives the traditional Japanese summer festival a unique Disney touch.

They are divided into four groups, each with a different theme: “Sai” (color), “Ryo” (coolness), “Hana” (flower), and “Yubu” (heroic dance). Wearing new costumes, they come together to dance to new music. As water sprays out from the floats, Guests can join in the dancing and enjoy this exhilarating and refreshing summer festival. Merchandise, decorations and menu items in the Park will feature summer designs that enhance the festival atmosphere.
The Disney Hotels, the Disney Resort Line and Ikspiari will also offer programs for even more summer fun at Tokyo Disney Resort.
