Tokyo Disneyland covered in snow | Photo tour
Tokyo Disneyland is already a gorgeous park by itself, but being covered in snow adds an extra layer of magic!
If you ask a Disney parks fan what park they want to visit the most, you’ll most likely hear and enthusiastic and immediate “Tokyo!” Not only is it one of the most technologically advanced and detailed Disney parks, it’s one of the few that receives snow during the winter. When those first batch of pictures of the snow covered park hit your phone screen, it’s not uncommon to immediately start looking at flights from pure jealousy!
Thanks to a wonderful photographer, Mai, we have a lot of stunning pictures of a snowy Disneyland to share!
After scanning your park ticket into Tokyo Disneyland, you are greeted with a topiary that is completely covered in snow! Unable to see what it is below, I’m pretty sure it relates to the current “Minnie’s Funderland” event happening in the park. You’re going to see a lot of hearts, bows, and polka dots in the next handful of pictures!
Let’s address the giant ceiling in the room. This is World Bazaar, the Tokyo Disneyland version of Main Street, U.S.A.! There’s a giant bow welcoming guests to the Minnie’s Funderland event, and it’s so cold and snowy you can just barely make out Cinderella Castle in the distance!
Tokyo Disneyland’s Cinderella Castle is already such an iconic and and majestic park icon, especially since it has the original color scheme we used to have in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World (and that we’re getting again). But seeing a thick layer of white cover the planters leading up to the castle and even the castle turrets is a sight I can’t get over and I’m not even there!
The snow is giving Christmas, but the Minnie Mouse decorations are giving off Valentine’s Day in a mashup of magical holiday vibes!
I wonder if Mickey can even see Walt, considering half of his face is covered in snow!
All the hearts in the Minnie’s Funderland decor is a materialization of my feelings when looking at all of these pictures. My heart is just bursting, I’m so jealous of everyone who gets to see this breathtaking sight in person!
A statue dedicated to Minnie on a pile of pink crystals, with the backside of a snow covered Cinderella Castle in the background? Minnie is THAT GIRL!
Over in Tomorrowland, snow falls on the new iteration of Space Mountain coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027! They built this from the ground up after demolishing the original attraction and wow, is this new design gorgeous.
The snow almost blends in on our friend Baymax! I want to wipe the snow out of his eyes so he can see all his friends dancing outside The Happy Ride with Baymax! This ride has a massive cult following of fans who will dance outside the attraction to the songs that play while it’s operating. This ride is a lot like Alien Swirling Saucers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree at Disney California Adventure.
Fans of “Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas” will get a kick out of seeing Beast’s castle layered with snow! This is Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, a trackless dark ride that goes through iconic moments from the 1991 classic.
The snow hasn’t melted, but your heart might. Someone made a family of snow Mickey’s on a bench in Fantasyland!
I hope Pooh and his friends are staying warm inside and enjoying a nice pot of honey while he waits for riders to experience Pooh’s Hunny Hunt, another trackless dark ride in Fantasyland!
The Floridian mind would not be able to comprehend snow at a Disney park, let alone an outdoor facade for “it’s a small world”!
As we approach Toontown, I think I might have found who’s responsible for all of this snow…
Past the Toontown horizon is the back of the North Mountain where Elsa’s ice palace resides next door in Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea. I’m not one to point fingers, but this feels like a no-brainer.
Haunted Mansion with snow on it makes it a lot less spooky I think!
More snow Mickeys :’)
Sorry, Walt Disney World locals, Tokyo Disneyland does still have its Mark Twain Riverboat. And snow. And an operating Big Thunder Mountain. I need to move.
Speaking of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the wildest ride in the wilderness doesn’t look so wild anymore! The snow has calmed down this runaway mine train.
If you’re a Splash Mountain fan, the following picture might be a little hard to process, as this is the last operating Splash Mountain in the world. For now!
As our journey ends in Adventureland, a friend would like to bid us farewell, and it’s not who you might think!
Baloo, you must be freezing! I’m not too sure how often it snows in the jungle, but maybe you should be hibernating.
