TOKYO, April 28 — Get ready to book your tickets to Japan, Disney fans, because a whole slew of new attractions has just been announced for Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea.

According to RocketNews24, the majority of the new additions will be for Tokyo Disneyland, starting with a section of the park dedicated to Beauty and the Beast.

The crown jewel will be a recreation of the Beast’s castle, which will house a Japan-exclusive attraction in which guests ride through the structure in a recreation of the film’s storyline, the website added.

Belle’s village will sit adjacent to the castle, where it will offer new shopping outlets and restaurants.

Two other projects include a 1,500-seat theatre for indoor stage shows and a new attraction starring multi-faceted medical examiner/flying combat robot Baymax from Big Hero 6.

Meanwhile, over in the Toon Town of Tokyo Disneyland, Minnie Mouse will be getting a photo studio where fans can wear costumes and take pictures with her.

Next door, Disney Sea will be adding its own version of Soarin’, the flight-themed motion simulator that first appeared as Soarin’ Over California at Disney’s California Adventure park in 2001, RocketNews24 said.
