Kim and I suspected that Monday would be another soft-opening day for DisneySea’s new Fantasy Springs area, so on a hunch, we took the train over to Maihama to see if we were right. We bought tickets and got in line for the main entrance. Then we heard the overhead announcement saying exactly what we hoped: Fantasy Springs would be open to all guests today. Perfect!
I took a photo of this Sleeping Beauty sculpture last time, but only at night, which doesn’t show you the pink and blue tones they add to her dress, which is very cute.

I also didn’t quite appreciate Maleficent’s cavernous wings at night! Or that Cinderella’s glass slipper is left on the waterfall steps.


Last Thursday, I didn’t even take a photo of Ariel at all, and that sculpture has a clever water feature to mimic the climax of “Part of Your World.”

But perhaps the best that I missed was the Magic Mirror, with a cloaked and reflective waterfall screen that occasionally disappears, revealing the face behind it. On the left is a small pool in the silhouette of Snow White, with a flower arrangement reminiscent of her dress. I can’t get over how smartly designed and well crafted all these sculptures are. I love them.

Fantasy Springs merchandise still isn’t for sale, but the whole display here is out in front to entice everyone.

How about this chandelier? Really ornate and lovely. All the light fixtures in Fantasy Springs are really excellent.


I was iffy about the clouds around the Never Land volcanoes when they started construction, but they’re growing on me! They’re really high up there (this is 5× zoom) and are textured. They don’t look natural, but they do fit in, I think!
