From April 15, 2023 to March 31, 2024, Tokyo Disney Resort will celebrate its 40th anniversary with the special event "Dream-Go-Round!”
Although the world is in the midst of celebrating The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary, this year is a special one for Tokyo Disney Resort as well as it marks 40 years since the opening of Tokyo Disneyland—the first Disney park outside the United States!
The theme for this memorable 40th anniversary is Dream-Go-Round!
Don't miss this limited-time, dream-filled experience as Guests, Cast Members, and Disney's friends unite and celebrate their colorful dreams together!
Tokyo Disneyland
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Tokyo Disneyland has decorated the park with bright "Dream Garlands," key items for this special event. Cinderella’s Castle, which has been welcoming guests as the symbol of the park for the past 40 years, is also proudly displaying the commemorative number “40.”
A new daytime parade, "Disney Harmony in Colors," runs once a day along the parade route, acting as symbolic entertainment of the 40th anniversary celebration. The theme of the parade is "harmonious world of colors," in which the Disney and Pixar friends present new adventures, courage, friendship, and family bonds through a variety of stories. Enjoy colorful floats, characters who are fulfilling their dreams, and uplifting music! (You can only access some viewing areas with a Disney Premium Pass).

The colorful float is reminiscent of flower petals, and Mickey Mouse and his friends appear in costumes as colorful as the seven colors of the rainbow!
In addition to the new parade, the park’s regular shows also offer special 40th anniversary editions! The show, "Club Mouse Beat," which runs four to five times a day at the Tomorrowland show base, features Mickey and friends giving a wonderful performance with upbeat music. For the finale, Mickey and his pals dress up in 40th anniversary costumes and entertain the crowd with a festive performance accompanied by the anniversary theme song! Entry Request (lottery for entertainment or attractions access) is required for show admission. Some exceptions apply.
The Tokyo Disneyland Band, which gives live performances of Disney music, will also contribute to the 40th anniversary event. The Band will perform at the World Bazaar, the entrance, and around the Plaza Terrace on an unscheduled basis. So if you happen to run into them, be sure to enjoy the wonderful music!
Tokyo DisneySea
You can also enjoy the celebratory atmosphere of the 40th anniversary at Tokyo DisneySea! The area from MiraCosta Avenue to Mediterranean Harbor, which is the starting point for a journey into the sea of adventure and imagination, shines with numerous Dream Garlands.
Mickey and his friends greet you in their 40th anniversary costumes at "Let's Celebrate with Color," a special 40th anniversary Harbor Greeting held once or twice a day in the Mediterranean Harbor.
Each color symbolizes a different future, and they bring the joy of the 40th anniversary to everyone while waving their flags along to lively music! Be sure to check out Duffy and Shellie May's 40th anniversary costumes, which you can only see at Tokyo DisneySea!
Both Parks
At the end of the day, enjoy fireworks, called "Sky Full of Colors." The beautiful fireworks that bloom in the night sky to the 40th anniversary theme song and other Disney music will make your special memories of your time at the parks last forever in your heart. *The program will be closed from July 3 (Mon.) to September 6 (Wed.).
When visiting the park, why don't you interact with the Cast Members as well? Cast Members will welcome you with 40th anniversary flags, and you can share a fun time dancing with them during the “Dream Garland Time!”, which is a surprise event held at various locations around the park!
Guests can also ask Cast Members for birthday stickers, Dream Garland stickers to celebrate the 40th anniversary, and Dream Garland cards to express their wishes to Cast Members and your important people! *Cast members may not be available depending on location and time.
