When you think of a true Japanese festival, you think of stalls that offers food and games to play. There are four booths lined up in the Plaza Terrace area that are designed to be like food stalls.

To start with, for summer festival drinks, is the well-known ramune (200 yen plus tax). It is a carbonated drink with a marble inside. The bottle is made of plastic so it’s also easy to carry.

Another booth offers colorful ice cream (350 yen plus tax). These are tiny beads of ice cream of various flavors including grape, pineapple, and strawberry. It has a crisp texture with a taste that changes depending on the balance of flavors in your mouth, making it a new and sensational ice cream.

Lottery Wheel (500 yen per wheel, plus tax) players will win either a cushion in the shape of an apple, a long towel with a Chip and Dale print, or a handheld fan; there are no chances of losing! What else would you expect of the land of dreams!

Sansui! Summer Beat: Blow Away the Summer Heat in 20 Minutes!

You cannot miss out on the entertainment program "Sansui! Summer Beat" during Disney Summer Festival 2017. The program is performed three times daily.

Ten characters including Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald appear riding five parade floats of various sizes in front of Cinderella Castle and along the parade route.

Guests will be in a whirlpool of excitement from the high-spirited shouting typical of festivals, Disney song performances from Japanese drums, flutes, and other traditional instruments, and a special down-pouring water spray.

Now the question is, how soaked will you get? Depending on where you are, you might be met with a downpour. Using an umbrella is prohibited during the program, so it is recommended that you wear rain gear or bring clothes to change into.

By the way, this season’s limited-edition poncho (the above photo, 1500 yen plus tax) and towel with hood (bottom photo to the left, 2500 yen plus tax; right, 2900 yen plus tax) is currently being sold at the shops. Why not try to get your hands on these items?

An Array of Japanese-style Summer Only Foods!

Since you’re at Disneyland, you can’t forget about the limited-time foods! Three special menu items are currently available at Sweet Heart Café.

Choco Bananas, bananas covered in plenty of chocolate, are often sold at Japanese food stalls. The Banana Cream Cake (750 yen plus tax) is a dessert that uses the choco banana as a motif. It also comes with a Chip and Dale souvenir plate in the shape of a banana; banana lovers will find it irresistible!

There is also the special set (990 yen plus tax) which comes with a chicken and ratatouille creamy wasabi sandwich, peach jelly, and a drink. The wasabi sauce adds a spiciness to the sweetness of the vegetables in the ratatouille sandwiched between bread.

You can also receive a souvenir lunch case after adding an additional 870 yen!

The Refreshment Corner’s special set (900 yen plus tax) comes with a hotdog with tomato and cheese sauce, French fries, and a drink.

The hotdog has a slightly spicy curry flavor. The sausage is much bigger than you might have imagined, so it is more filling than it first looks!

Recommended Summer Festival Goods and Souvenirs

There is also a full line-up of merchandise and souvenirs only available during this season.

The Lighting Pendant (1500 yen plus tax) is made in the image of a water balloon that lights up in assorted colors including red, blue, and green. It will raise your spirits when lit up at night.

These Chip and Dale mini towels (800 yen plus tax) are packaged to look like candy apples sold at food stalls. Take a commemorative photo before opening it!

When speaking of souvenir sweets, naturally its deliciousness but also its packaging are part of its appeal. The packaging of these sweets are designed to look like Japanese drums and have chocolate crunch inside (850 yen plus tax/18 pieces).

Here is a small transparent Donald bag (850 yen plus tax) that is very summer-like. 50 grams of ramune candies are packaged inside for you to enjoy.

These are cookies filled with chocolate (950 yen plus tax/8 pieces). You're sure to want to decorate with the packaging of Chip and Dale swimming in the ocean after you finish eating all the cookies!

Summer festival limited edition merchandise is sold at the Grand Emporium (for general type goods), while confectionery goods are sold at the World Bazaar Confectionery. By all means, please check them out!
