Recently, it was announced that Tokyo Disneyland’s “New Fantasyland” will open its doors to guests on 15 April next year. This large-scale development area, which evolved from expanding the existing Fantasyland, will feature the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and The Beast attraction and the indoor Fantasyland Forest Theatre. Tomorrowland and Toontown will also open their brand new additions on the same day as well.

With Disney’s Beauty and The Beast movie as the theme, “New Fantasyland” is set in Belle’s village. Guests can visit Belle’s father at Maurice’s Cottage, situated at the entrance of the village, to get their Fast Pass. Ahead of that is Gaston’s Fountain and various restaurants and shops. It is indeed a step into a tale as old as time!

Towards the forest stands the towering Beauty and The Beast Castle, which houses the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and The Beast attraction. Guests can dance to the iconic song along with that romantic scene in the movie in this ride.

Moving past the forest, you will arrive at Tokyo Disneyland’s first and most authentic indoor theatre named Fantasyland Forest Theatre. Be sure to catch Mickey Mouse and friends’ live performance there!

Over at Tomorrowland, Baymax will take you on an unpredictable and fun journey as you hop on The Happy Ride with Baymax. The Big Pop, a popcorn shop with an outer space theme, will also be coming to Tomorrowland. On the other hand, Toontown will be welcoming fashion designer Minnie Mouse, where guests can meet her in person at Minnie’s Style Studio.

Since the renovation started in April 2017, 75 billion yen (about S$960 million) worth of investments have been pumped in. Tokyo Disneyland’s unprecedented and biggest development is finally going to make more dreams come true next April.

Anger mounts over China's response to deadly car attack
STORY: China's government faced mounting anger Wednesday over its handling of the deadly car attack there earlier in the week - and appeared to be taking steps to limit news of the incident. On Monday, a man drove into a crowd at a sports center, killing 35 and injuring 43. But the government took nearly a day to announce the death toll, and the incident has been little reported by state media. Some online posts criticising the government's response, or questioning what the attack means for Chinese society, were rapidly removed by authorities.Candles and flowers that had been laid at the scene on Tuesday evening at the sports center's west gate later disappeared.A Reuters reporter on the scene said they were removed overnight. The west side of the sports center was blocked with metal barriers and guarded by security.Despite the efforts to clear the site, many kept dropping off fresh flowers on Wednesday morning. “It was just a spontaneous feeling that I had (when I came to lay the flowers). Even though I didn’t know them personally, it felt like those time when I had family members pass away in the past. So I (kind of) understand that feeling, and this is my feeling.”“We need to fundamentally improve the happiness of our people, to ensure equality for everyone. Also, there shouldn’t be extreme thoughts. Innocent people are involved here – but what did they have to do with anything?"Local police have named the suspect as a 62-year-old man with the surname Fan. He is being treated at a hospital for serious injuries after apparently stabbing himself following the attack.Investigators say the incident was seemingly triggered by the man's anger over his divorce.Chinese authorities on Wednesday called for 'full efforts' to treat those injured in the attack.
