Summertime Entertainment
TOKYO DISNEYLAND
(Disney)
- Country Bear Theater “Vacation Jamboree” presented by House Foods Corporation
- Country Bear Theater is an attraction at Tokyo Disneyland where eighteen charismatic bears with unique personalities entertain guests with a humorous country and western performance.
- From May 17 through November 7, Country Bear Theater will feature the special summer version, “Vacation Jamboree,” for the first time in five years. Guests can enjoy a cheerful vacation as they join these lively and fun-loving bears in an unforgettable experience.
- Splash Mountain “Get Soaked MAX” presented by Kao Corporation
- The attraction Splash Mountain, where guests ride a log boat that inevitably drops down a 16-meter-high waterfall, will present “Splash Mountain ‘Get Soaked MAX’” again this year. During this limited period, there will be an additional effect with more water being sprayed to make the drop even more exhilarating, allowing guests to enjoy both the coolness of the water and the thrill of the drop.
- Baymax’s Mission: Cool Down
- In this fun entertainment program presented along the parade route, Baymax, the personal healthcare companion robot from Disney Animation film Big Hero 6, protects guests from the summer heat again this year. In the program, Baymax is entrusted with the mission of raising the “energy levels” of guests and searches for areas in need of a cool down while spraying guests with mist. When an area with “low energy levels” is detected, the float stops and guests can enjoy a refreshing spritz of water to up-beat, lively music. This year, trailers equipped with water have been added behind each float, increasing the amount of water sprayed.
- Three 35-minute performances will happen daily along the Parade Route, featuring two floats.
- “Get Soaked” Toontown presented by Kodansha Ltd
- Fun spots where guests can get soaked will pop up around Toontown again this year. The Trolley Barn at Jolly Trolley will feature cool mist and spraying water, and Toontown Fire Department and Fireworks Factory will spout more water than ever before. Guests will be able to enjoy the hot summer months with these water-splashing spots.
- For safety reasons, guests, including children, are requested to refrain from experiencing these programs in bare feet or swimsuits, or while removing their clothes.
- “Get Soaked” Time
