Fantasy Springs will open on June 6 at Tokyo DisneySea. The restaurant that will appear in the “Rapunzel’s Forest” area is Snuggly Duckling. The restaurant offers hearty hamburgers and sweets, and the atmosphere is just like that of the movie.
Snuggly Duckling is the largest restaurant in Fantasy Springs (approximately 620 seats), located in the “Rapunzel’s Forest” area closer to Frozen Kingdom.
The restaurant recreates the world of the Disney film “Rapunzel in the Tower” (2010) and is modeled after the Snuggly Duckling, a speakeasy where roughnecks gather that actually appears in the film.
The Snuggly Duckling in the movie is the scene where Flynn Rider, the great thief who was asked by Rapunzel to take her to a place where she could see flying lights, deliberately takes her to a tavern full of roughnecks in order to make her give up her adventure. The tavern is filled with roughnecks, the exact opposite of what it means in Japanese, “cute ducklings.
The entrance to the restaurant is designed like a movie, almost crushed by a giant tree. After passing through the spacious order counter, one realizes that this is a bar for ruffians, with tree roots encroaching on the restaurant, a weapons storage area, an iron ball that seems to have flown out in a fight, and a sword still stuck in a pillar.
The restaurant is divided into three large rooms, each with a different design. In the front room, there is a piano that was featured in the musical scene of the movie, and the scene is just as it was in the movie. Check out the score to the song “I’ve Got A Dream” (Everyone Has A Dream), which was sung in the movie, on the wall.
The center room is an area where a storage room was converted into a seating area because of the growing popularity of Snuggly Duckling. It has a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than the room in the front, and is symbolized by the large stone fireplace that appears in the film. Next to it is a bear-shaped chair that appears in the scene where Gunter, one of the ruffians, talks about his dream of becoming an “interior designer,” and there is a picture of a dog on the wall. His dream seems to have come true. Please compare the movie with the interior design.
At the far end is an area where a hole was made in the adjacent stable with the help of roughnecks and renovated to provide seating space in order to accommodate even more customers. Indeed, only here the ceiling is higher and the construction is different. Rapunzel, who is good at drawing, has painted the walls full of pictures of the roughnecks fulfilling their dreams, and they are magnificent. Many items related to Maximus are also displayed, as it was originally a stable. The posters and knick-knacks on the walls show how each dream came true, so be sure to take a closer look. It is sure to make you smile to see everyone’s dreams come true.
From the interior decorating the walls and shelves to the murals, this room is very worth seeing, so even if you dine in other rooms, be sure to see this room before you leave.
The main dish at Snuggly Duckling is a wild and hearty hamburger filled with ingredients. It is sandwiched between a yellow chewy bun that resembles the restaurant’s signature duck.
Among the main dishes, the “Duckling Dream Cheeseburger” (burger 950 yen, set 1,490 yen), in particular, is a thick patty made of beef and bacon, a bolognese sausage as thick as it is, cheese, thick slices of tomato, and shredded purple cabbage. Seasoned with a smoky sauce, it is a hearty enough portion to fill one’s stomach.
The “Fried Shrimp Burger” (burger 950 yen, set 1,490 yen), filled with fried shrimp, is also very satisfying with its crispy texture. The tartar sauce mixed with beets also goes perfectly with the fries.
In addition, the “Plant-Based Burger” (burger 950 yen for an individual burger, 1,490 yen for a set) is a pea patty sandwich. This burger is made with plant-based ingredients. There are also four other burger choices, including the “Duckling Dream Burger” (900 yen for a single burger, 1,440 yen for the set). The burger set also includes a “souvenir lunch case” depicting a scene from the Lantern Festival for an additional 1,300 yen.
Desserts include the “Duckling Muffin (Caramel)” (600 yen per piece), which features the signature duck, and the “Sweets Ever After (Lemon & Strawberry)” (700 yen per piece), which has a cute frying pan-shaped container that Rapunzel carried to protect herself in the movie. These two can be accompanied by a “Souvenir Plate” for an additional 650 yen each.
There is a scene in the movie where the rough-and-tumble Attila says his dream is to be a cake baker, and on the back of the “Duckling Muffin (Caramel)” is his signature. It seems that Attila’s dream has come true.
Also available as a soft drink is “Rapunzel’s Magical Milk Tea” (800 yen per cup). This milk tea is inspired by Rapunzel, with a layer of jelly and syrup on the bottom and a generous layer of whipped cream on the top, and the aroma of elderflower spreads.
This drink can also be accompanied by a “Souvenir Tumbler Set” (plus 1,400 yen). The coaster and tumbler feature the design of the sign, a scene from the Lantern Festival in silhouette, and the coat of arms of the kingdom. The muddler that comes with the set has a very cute design of Pascal the chameleon. It is the perfect set to commemorate your visit to Snuggly Duckling.
Anyway, this is a snugly duckling that is well worth seeing. You can immerse yourself in the world of the movie and catch a glimpse of the happy ending of the roughnecks who each fulfilled their dreams. It is a restaurant of such high perfection that it makes you want to sing “I’ve Got A Dream” (everyone has a dream).
