Aircraft Design and Theme
The “JAL Fantastic Journey Express” is a specially painted aircraft created through a tie in between Tokyo Disney Resort® and JAL, an official sponsor. This marks the sixth collaboration since JAL first teamed up with Tokyo DisneySea when it opened in 2001.
Fantasy Springs is the only themed port of its kind in the world, featuring three areas inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios films Frozen, Tangled and Peter Pan, as well as the latest Disney themed hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel.
The aircraft design evokes magical springs that lead to a world of Disney fantasy, featuring Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel and Peter Pan against backdrops inspired by locations from Fantasy Springs, such as Arendelle Castle, Rapunzel’ s Tower and Captain Hook’s ship, the Jolly Roger.
