Flower Power

The Tokyo Disney Resort consists of two main theme parks, several hotels and a reasonably sized shopping area. In order to get between these attractions, the best method of transport is the Disney Resort Line monorail service.

As you can see, the monorail can also be decorated to celebrate whatever season or festivity the Tokyo Disney Resort is partaking in at the time! In this case, it's for Tokyo DisneySea's Spring Carnival 2010.

The monorail serves the Maihama Station & Disney Ambassador Hotel (train station), Tokyo Disneyland (TDL Hotel and Bon Voyage! shop), Bayside (the official hotels of Tokyo Disneyland) and Tokyo DisneySea (including MiraCosta hotel).

And There's More!

What have we forgot in our tour of the Spring Carnival 2010 festivities in Tokyo DisneySea? Perhaps we should see what Mickey, Minnie and the rest of the gang are wearing to celebrate and join in the fun?!

More Carnival Fun

Today let's continue our picture tour of the Primavera show and parade at the Spring Carnival, Tokyo DisneySea, by enjoying the dancers and performers. And part of the fun is to wave your spring handkerchiefs in the air, enjoying the festivities!

The performers, dancers and characters fill the entire pathway around the Mediterranean Harbour. Breathtaking!

Primavera at DisneySea

Part of the Spring Carnival celebrations at Tokyo DisneySea this year has included a fantastic show and parade around the Mediterranean Harbour. For the next few days we're going to have a picture tour of this fantastical experience!

The main theming of this show is to bring together different corners of the world and how they celebrate the springtime. It starts with the Disney Fairies - including Tinkerbell - entering the lagoon and bringing Spring to all!Then there is a procession of the different corners of the world - Germany, Bulgaria and France. Including some of our favourite Disney characters. There is a variety of dancers and performers that are in the Primavera, making it one of the largest shows in the Tokyo Disney Resort ever!

Getting In On The Act

We've finished our tour of the Gardens of the Spring Carnival, but as I mentioned before, Tokyo DisneySea make sure that you are never far from a reminder of the celebration that is currently happening!

The second park of Tokyo Disney Resort, is the only Disney park to have a hotel actually inside the park's grounds. The Hotel MiraCosta is a beautiful resort, which, upon entering the DisneySea Plaza, guests have to pass under to enter the main heart of the park.

And even the hotel gets 'in on the act' and celebrates Spring Carnival 2010!

Arabian Gardens

For the duration of the Spring Carnival celebrations in Tokyo DisneySea, the land of Arabian Coast is transformed into the breathtaking Jasmine's Garden.

Here we can take the time to appreciate Jasmine's love of nature - with a little help from her friends!

When You Wish Upon a Flower

Continuing through the gardens of the Tokyo DisneySea Spring Carnival, there is the beautiful - almost hidden - garden for Pinocchio. This is situated between American Waterfront, Mediterranean Harbour and -closest to - Mysterious Island. Looking over the the water area, the topiaries and flower displays are beautiful!

Let us have a look and enjoy the characters of Pinocchio.

Fairies Sprinkle Flowers

During Spring Carnival at Tokyo DisneySea, it feels like you can't go anywhere without bumping into something beautiful and Spring-like. There are flowers at every turn, with almost every Land getting in on the act.

When you head through Mediterranean Harbour, heading towards Mysterious Island, there is another garden that you pass through. Tinkerbell and her fairy friends (Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Terence) have sprinkled their pixie dust all over the area, allowing us to feel like we are really in the midst of the Carnival!

It's Fantasia-tasic

The first stop on our tour of the Tokyo DisneySea Spring Carnival 2010, is over near the Tower of Terror in American Waterfront. Here we can see flower displays and topiaries relating to one of Walt Disney's Masterpieces: Fantasia.

There is a beautiful use of colour here, and some fantastic photo opportunities! Let's take a look around.

The Maps of Spring

Taking a quick break from the Flower Gardens of the Spring Carnival, let's have a look at some of the times guides that are available during the festival.

Another reason that Tokyo in many ways surpasses the other Disney parks throughout the world, is the way that they theme almost everything to whatever festival or celebration the Resort is currently having. During the Spring Carnival, their times guides have been themed to match the dress of our favourite mice: Mickey and Minnie!

You can also find a couple of Mickey and Minnie Mouse topiaries near the Park entrance, also showing their beautiful costumes.We will see more of Mickey and Minnie, and many other Disney characters, when we have a look at the special Spring Carnival parade and show later this month here at DF'82.

Let's Celebrate The Spring Carnival

There are many reasons why the Tokyo Disney Resort is so amazing. It includes the parks, the hotels, the imagineering and the experience. But one thing that the Resort excels in, is the celebrations. They really go 'full out', making sure their guests experience everything to the full extreme.
From April through June, there are two celebrations happening in the Resort. At Tokyo Disneyland, there is the beautiful Easter Wonderland (which we will definitely look at detail over the summer, here in DF'82) and in Tokyo DisneySea, there is Spring Carnival.
Spring Carnival is a sort-of Flower and Garden festival throughout the park, focusing on Tinkerbell and her fellow fairies bringing Spring to DisneySea. Mickey and Minnie also join in on the fun, bringing parades and shows to the Park, as well as beautiful garden and flower displays through some of the different lands.
This leaflet shows some of the different areas you can experience. For example, there is Jasmin's Garden, Fantasia Gardens and Tinkerbell's Gardens too. Over the next few days, DF'82 is going to take you on a non-stop tour of these gardens, to make sure you don't miss out on any of the carnival! With a little help from Tink, Rosetta, Fawn, Silvermist, Terence and Iridessa, I'm sure we can have some more Spring fun, even though we are in Summer.
