Disney Further Expanding Cruise Line Business With Tokyo Disney Company Partnership

Disney continues to work on expanding the Disney Cruise Line with a brand new ship coming to Asia next year plus the highly anticipated Disney Treasure later this year which will debut the first ever Haunted Mansion bar.

The Tokyo Disney resort is owned and operated by Oriental Land Co. and is often praised for the amount of funding and dedication they put into this theme park. This has especially been evident since the opening of Fantasy Springs which included the new viral Tangled ride. Now this company is partnering once again with Disney!

Tokyo Disney Resort is at the top of many Disney adult bucket list trips. Disney has an over 40 year relationship with the Oriental Land Company.
