Tokyo Disneyland offers chance to be princess
AFP
7/3/2008


Tokyo Disney Resort on Wednesday offered girls the chance to become the princess of their choice as it unveiled a new 415-million-dollar hotel.

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, to open on July 8, houses the "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique" which can turn girls aged three to nine into Cinderella, Snow White or other screen princess.

The full service, including costumes, shoes, make-up, hair-styling, manicure and professional photography costs 25,000 yen (235 dollars).

The hotel's cheapest room is 31,000 yen during the off-season in January and February, while the top-floor premiere suite is priced at 500,000 yen a night.

The nine-storey venture is the third official hotel in the sprawling compound in the suburbs of the Japanese capital.

Oriental Land Co., which operates the Disney resort in Japan, invested a total of 44 billion yen (415 million dollars) to open the hotel, according to a company spokeswoman.

Tokyo Disney Resort is going under a major expansion this year, the 25th anniversary of its opening as the first Disneyland outside the United States, with a permanent Cirque du Soleil opening in October.

Unlike some other Disney parks overseas, Tokyo Disney Resort has been consistently successful, with trips to the complex almost a rite of passage for Japanese children.
