Tokyo Disney Resort announced that the “Tokyo Disney Resort 40th ‘Dream-Go-Round’” special anniversary event will begin April 15, 2023, and will run through March 31, 2024.
The theme of the upcoming 40th-anniversary event is “Dream-Go-Round,” where the colorful dreams of guests, cast members, and Disney friends join together as one, making it a special year for everyone to celebrate together. The event will feature multiple entertainment programs including “Disney Harmony in Color,” the first new daytime parade in five years, as well as festive decorations, special merchandise, and delectable menu items.
At Tokyo Disneyland, the main feature of the anniversary event will be the brand-new daytime parade, “Disney Harmony in Color.” Themed to a “harmonious world of colors,” the parade allows guests to encounter beloved characters such as Mickey Mouse, as well as characters making their first appearance at Tokyo Disney Resort. Tokyo DisneySea will present a Harbor Greeting titled “Let’s Celebrate with Colors,” which will feature Disney friends on a boat in their festive Tokyo Disney Resort 40th anniversary outfits.
Adding to the excitement is the “Dream Garland,” a special decoration and symbol embodying the 40th-anniversary theme, which will be found across the Parks. It represents the notion that guests, cast members, and Disney friends are connected, like pieces of a garland, and will celebrate the 40th anniversary together in grand fashion. Cast members will wear colorful name-tag accessories depicting the garland as they welcome guests to the Parks. “Dream Garland” pieces will also be available as special merchandise. Guests can enjoy the 40th-anniversary event both at the Parks and at home by wearing them as accessories or by collecting and connecting the colorful garland pieces to decorate their rooms. “Dream Garlands” will be displayed throughout the Parks, adding a festive touch to the 40th-anniversary celebrations.
Disney Hotels will also welcome guests with 40th-anniversary decorations, programs, and exclusive items. On the Disney Resort Line, themed trains commemorating the 40th anniversary will be in operation, allowing guests to enjoy the ambiance of “Dream-GoRound” throughout Tokyo Disney Resort.
Furthermore, guests can relive the Parks’ past entertainment programs and special events from the last 40 years along with nostalgic looks, video recordings and music at the “Tokyo Disney Resort Encore! The Moments” exhibit. This exhibit, which debuted in September 2022, is currently being held at the shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, Ikspiari.
