Upon completion of this new theme park, Tokyo DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland will complement and enhance each other. The foundation for Tokyo Disneyland will continue to be traditional, classic Disney stories of fantasy, dreams and magic, and Tokyo DisneySea will present experiences based on a wealth of ocean lore and facts, focusing on imaginative worlds of adventure, romance, discovery and fun.

Walt Disney once said of Disneyland, his original park in Anaheim, Calif., that it would never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world. This is certainly true for the Tokyo Disney Resort experience.

  • Elias Disney was born on February 6, 1859 in Huron County, Ontario, Canada and died on September 13, 1941
