Leading up to the 25th anniversary of Disney Sea

 Tokyo Disney Sea celebrated its 24th birthday yesterday, September 4th. Disney Sea first opened on September 4th 2001. Along with Tokyo Disneyland, it forms the Tokyo Disney Resort. Which is actually located in Chiba Prefecture, not Tokyo. There have been rumours for years that they will eventually build a Tokyo Disney Air as well, but unfortunately they seem to be just rumours. 

Tokyo DisneySea is managed and operated by Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC), and the park theme is "Where Adventure and Imagination Set Sail" . The symbol of the amusement park is the DisneySea Aquasphere, pictured below. Disneysea Aquasphere is a coined word to represent water (aqua) and heaven (sphere). It is a globe with a diameter of 8 meters and rotates to make one rotation in about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. In addition, it sits on gushing water to recreate the appearance of the sea.

You won't have to wait until September 2026 to celebrate the anniversary as they are planning a whole year of celebrations, they are calling Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary Sparkling Jubilee, starting from April 15th 2026. They will have limited edition merchandise and special  entertainment for the occasion. In addition, they will have themed food and beverages and the park will be decorated to mark the milestone.
