The opposite side of the lanyard is also blue and gold, but features the park’s name in a more stripped-down style.
There is also an Epic Universe lanyard pouch available.
This How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk pin features Toothless taking flight.
You can also get a pin of Toothless striding forward.
There is also a pin of Light Fury and Toothless with their tails intertwined. Set against a circle, the pin reads, “Together We Fly” with a heart.
This ornament is stylized to look like the wood-made decorations guests will find in the land, with a dragon crest set against a scale-like pattern with shades of yellow, white, orange, and blue.
The land’s logo is printed on the back.
A petrol blue ball cap featuring the How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk icon is also available. The land’s name is in silver around the icon, which is shown in a minimalistic take of light blue and orange-red.
The back strap is adjustable and features a metal clip with the dragon icon.
We also spotted this Isle of Berk reversible lanyard. One side features key art for the land with Hiccup and Toothless at the bottom.

The wallet is black and covered in a scale pattern, with Toothless’ smiling face on the front and a How to Train Your Dragon Loungefly badge on the back.

We are so excited to bring you some NEW food news!

Brand new restaurants are coming soon to a Disney park, so you know we jumped at the chance to give it a try! Tokyo DisneySea will soon be opening Fantasy Springs, a new sea port that will include three new lands. The new port will open on June 6th this year, but Disney invited us to experience it all BEFORE it opened. Of course, we couldn’t turn down the opportunity to try the new restaurant coming to Frozen Kingdom — the Royal Banquet of Arendelle!
Royal Banquet of Arendelle is a quick-service restaurant INSIDE Anna and Elsa’s castle! We couldn’t believe we had stepped inside the actual castle of Arendelle and got to eat a royal banquet.
Royal Banquet of Arendelle
The restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating. Inside there are multiple rooms. The banquet hall is large and beautiful! (The whole restaurant seats 570 people!!)
We definitely feel royal walking through here!
There’s a throne at the end of the room.
Queen Elsa, where are you?
Another dining room is very cozy and decorated with family heirlooms.

Check out the stone fireplace!

And so many portraits!

Hey, Olaf!

There’s Kristoff and Sven…

…and many paintings of Anna and Elsa throughout their lives.

Including as children with their parents.
Memories!
You could spend quite a bit of time in here just looking at all the details, but we’re hungry, so let’s get to the food!
One thing we’ve noticed about menus at Tokyo Disney is that they are often pretty limited! The restaurants tend to do one or two things, rather than offer tons of variety. The main attraction here is Arendelle’s Royal Set which is served in a basket and includes a pot pie, smoked salmon, trout and orange salad, potato gratin, bread, and Olaf’s marshmallow chocolate mousse. There are two pot pie choices — beef, or lobster and redfish.
Arendelle’s Royal Set
The Royal Set comes with a soft drink, with choices including coffee, tea, iced coffee, iced tea, Coca-Cola, orange drink, or an Apple Tea Soda. For kids, there’s a separate version of the Royal Set that includes meatball stew, broccoli, cherry tomato, potato salad, a smoked salmon, trout, and orange salad, fruit jellied dessert, rice bread, and apple juice.
Of course, we had to try Arendelle’s Royal Set with the beef pot pie!

We dug into the flaky crust to find beef in a rich gravy.

The potato gratin comes in its own little crock.

And this marshmallow chocolate dessert is just adorable!
