However, there are some exceptions – for example, the newly-opened Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station closes more than two hours before the rest of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.This summer, an entire land is slated to close early.Disney Park Announces Early Fantasyland ClosureFantasyland is set to close 30 minutes before the rest of one Disney castle park from July 1 through September 14.Credit: Tokyo Disney ResortTokyo Disneyland announced the news today, explaining that it’s due to a new version of Reach for the Stars with drones. Reach for the Stars: Everlasting Dreams is the park’s grand farewell to the nightly show, which is bowing out for good in September.Fantasyland – which is located behind Cinderella Castle, as is typically the case in Disney’s castle parks – will be used as a base for the drone show, which is why it will be off limits to guests from 8.30 p.m. until park close.That means guests will be unable to access attractions such as Alice’s Tea Party, Castle Carrousel, Snow White’s Adventures, Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall, and Dumbo The Flying Elephant.Credit: Disney“During the period of entry restrictions, passage within Fantasyland will be prohibited,” Tokyo Disney Resort confirmed. “Please allow ample time for your journey.”The park has also noted that if the show is axed due to poor weather – or if the weather forces the show to go ahead without drones – it will lift the admission restrictions.This follows the suspension of Tokyo Disneyland’s fireworks earlier this month. Sky Full of Colors, which is visible from both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, is on hiatus until September 14.Credit: Tokyo Disney ResortTokyo Disney Resort typically pauses its fireworks during the summer months. While the resort’s owner, The Oriental Land Company, has never explained the reasoning behind its seasonal closure, fans theorize that it’s due to Tokyo’s summer humidity and rain.Are you visiting Tokyo Disneyland this summer?The post Fantasyland Will Now Close Earlier Than the Rest of Disney Park Under New Rules appeared first on Inside the Magic.
