I've never been there, but it seems like Tokyo DisneySea has a good mix of lands that are IP-based, and lands that are not. Fantasy Springs of course is shared by Peter Pan, Frozen, and Tangled, and the other IP lands are Mermaid Lagoon (The Little Mermaid), Arabian Coast (Aladdin/One Thousand and One Nights), Lost River Delta (Indiana Jones), and, if you want to count the works of Jules Verne as an IP, Mysterious Island. The other lands, namely Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, and Port Discovery, seem to be less IP-focused and more about overall cohesion with the park's theming, as all of the lands represent different ports-of-call around the world. The entire park is like one giant walkthrough attraction; it looks incredible.
I don't understand why they made this area despite having Peter Pan's Flight at Tokyo Disneyland. It bugs me when two parks have redundant rides that does not compensate each other's uniqueness.
About the Lost Kids namechange, Nibs the rabbit is actually a girl in FS. What's interesting is that she was still portrayed as male in some earlier concepts for Neverland Adventure. It's quite an odd change, but it's really no big deal in the end. The Yorkshire pudding was the only thing about the miniland that bothered me. It was so dry that I couldn't be bothered to finish it. I strongly agree that this area works perfectly in DisneySea. When compared to the Batb miniland in Disneyland, there's a clear difference in design philosophy; something ignored by certain Forbes journalists.
Oooh I didn't notice that. Totally agree that it's not a big deal. Unlike the yorkshire pudding which I find highly offensive. Haha that Forbes article was something, eh! Great sources tho ;)
Peter Pan is one of my favorite Disney films, I’m glad that Tokyo Disneyland still gets additions based on Disney IP from the 20th century, while sadly all the US has gotten in the past decade is things based on IP made or acquired under Iger. You’re right about the Skull Rock and Captain Hook ship! I love that they built them at Tokyo DisneySea! I can see from your video that Skull Rock provides great views! I’m glad you like the land itself so much. It definitely looks fantastic from your footage. The rides themselves I honestly can’t help but wish were a bit better though. I never really watched the Tinker Bell films from around 15 or so years ago, so Busy Buggie isn’t something I’m sure I’d enjoy. And it doesn’t look that impressive from your footage here. But I understand that it was clearly designed for very young kids. As for Neverland Adventure, it looks like a good ride, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say how much the ride uses screens is disappointing to me. Ever since The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in 2010, the American Disney Parks have felt like they’re trying so hard to emulate Universal not just with IP lands like Pandora and Galaxy’s Edge, but also with attractions that use primarily screens and projections. While Tokyo Disneyland still seemed to build rides with physical sets, props, and animatronics like Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast. I know that Peter Pan’s Flight is at Tokyo Disneyland next door, but I personally wish it wasn’t a 3D ride. As Peter Pan is the only one of the three films represented in Fantasy Springs to be animated hand drawn, I honestly find it ironic that Tangled and Frozen get rides with animatronics and physical sets while Peter Pan gets CGI screens.
They probably chose to make Peter Pan a 3D ride because it would be easier to simulate flying (without making another clone of Peter Pan's Flight). A family-oriented rollercoaster might've also worked, but I personally prefer dark rides over coasters. You're right that a screen-based attraction is not ideal, but at least we have both this and Peter Pan's Flight. And on the topic of older IPs getting some love, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin also have their own lands at Tokyo DisneySea, so it seems like it's the park to be to see older IPs get the attention they deserve. Those along with the Beauty and the Beast ride they built at Tokyo Disneyland a few years ago calls to attention the fact that the Tokyo parks have more ride representation for the Disney Renaissance films than the US parks do. The Renaissance films are the Disney films I personally grew up with, so I've always been sore over the fact that most of them still don't have dark rides dedicated to them. Somehow Zootopia got a dark ride before The Lion King. Somehow.
I never thought of how the only 2D animated film in Fantasy Springs got the 3D computer animation treatment haha that’s funny! I can understand disappointment with the ride, but for what it is I love it.
As an American, the reason I love the Tokyo Disneylands is because they haven't ruined with all the woke BS. Thank God I can still enjoy Disneyland the way Walt wanted us to enjoy it.
A nearly hour long 8 Bit Theme Park video right before I go to bed? Yes please!
Haha glad someone actually wants to listen to my ramblings! 😂

It’s wonderful isn’t it!

This was the only area I didn’t get to when I went to FS and you really sold me on it.
Just not on the hottest day of the year 😂
Summers in Tokyo are rough!! Totally understand! 🥵
