The highlight of Christmas at Tokyo DisneySea is the "Disney Christmas Greeting" show held at Mediterranean Harbor.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, other Disney friends, and Santa Claus appear on boats in the harbor, greeting guests to the sounds of Christmas music.

Especially popular in Asia, Duffy & Friends' Duffy and ShellieMay also join this greeting. Their adorable appearance in Christmas costumes is a must-see.

You can watch the greeting from anywhere around Mediterranean Harbor, but choosing the right spot is important if you want to see the characters up close. The area around the crescent-shaped island, Lido Isle, and the front of Piazza Topolino (commonly known as Mickey Square) are popular viewing spots.

Please note that you cannot reserve spots by leaving leisure sheets or belongings unattended. Also, there are no paid viewing areas such as DPA (Disney Premier Access) for this event.

  • Location: Mediterranean Harbor
  • Show duration: About 15 minutes (1–2 times per day)

Romantic Night Views! The Giant Tree at American Waterfront

The Symbol of Tokyo DisneySea! A Brilliant 15-Meter-Tall Tree

On the pier of the exotic American Waterfront stands a giant Christmas tree about 15 meters tall.

The sheer size of the tree is impressive even during the day, but at night it is nothing short of romantic.

Starting at 17:30, a special lighting performance makes the area glow with a magical atmosphere. This time of day is especially perfect for taking memorable photos with your loved ones or friends.

Christmas Decorations Overflowing with Exotic Atmosphere in Each Area

Each area is decorated for Christmas. One of the unique ways to enjoy Tokyo DisneySea is to stroll through the park while searching for the different Christmas scenes in each themed port.

Among the areas we visited, the most highly recommended was the American Waterfront, where the giant tree stands. The area, which recreates early 20th-century New York, is decorated with dazzling Christmas ornaments befitting a big city. The best time for photos is the hour before sunset, when the contrast between the magic hour sky and the night view is at its most beautiful.

Also, right after entering the park, Passaggio Miracosta (Miracosta Street) is filled with photo spots.

The nighttime atmosphere is also wonderful.

In one corner of Mediterranean Harbor, near the DisneySea Transit Steamer Line boarding area, you will also find a row of Christmas trees.

If you look closely, you’ll see ornaments of Pinocchio and other characters from the story on display!
