In our Annual Report for the last fiscal year, we discussed our efforts to reopen the Parks. This year, we will introduce efforts following the
reopening of the Parks. We have made daily improvements to the method of crossing the Park entrance. In operation of security
checkpoints started in September 2020, we have reviewed procedures and conducted repeated training, cutting the time of security
checks in half from the start. In addition, we flexibly changed park admission start times by observing the actual movement of Guests, and
following the relaxation of guidelines at the end of October 2020, we quickly redesigned the waiting areas. We increased the number of
Guests eligible to wait in line by changing orientation and spacing, repositioning marks, and turning the surrounding parking lots into
waiting spaces.
Before the reopening of Theme Parks, Cast Members voiced their concerns about the difficulty of
conveying facial expressions through masks, and not being able to casually interact with Guests.
Therefore, we have developed a new way of thinking about how to deal with Guests, and displayed
examples of how to show a smile even while wearing a mask and means of communication which can
be used as alternatives to giving a high five. Based on this idea, following the reopening of Theme
Parks, our Cast Members were able to consider hospitality and communicate with Guests on their
own accord, and received many comments complimenting them for their efforts.
When reopening Theme Parks, our top priority was to establish safe operations throughout all the Parks. Unfortunately, we could not
resume full-scale entertainment. As we strongly wished to provide our Guests with our characters when reopening Parks, we prepared as
many safe entertainment offerings as possible, such as greeting parades, for our Guests to enjoy when finally reached our reopening date.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of our Guests gave us great encouragement. Later on, when reopening character greeting area, we faced
the problem of long queues forming due to the need for COVID-19 countermeasures, but were able to safely reopen facilities at the same
time we introduced entry reception.
Furthermore, we also prepared for the resumption of full-scale stage shows. Many performers and staff participate in our stage shows,
and there is complicated movement both on stage and back stage, making it necessary to make
arrangements for each and every one. It took time to make major revisions to our methods of
operation, as well as program content including composition and production of shows, but we
prepared to resume stage shows at both Parks. COVID-19 countermeasures have put many constraints
on show performances, but we gained great confidence from our ability to use ideas to provide
entertainment experiences without seriously compromising quality.
In FY2021, we have established our keyword “WITH (Cooperation and Collaboration)” as an activity policy common to our four divisions:
Operations, Entertainment, Food, and Merchandise. Our aim is to further strengthen cooperation between divisions and create new values
for our Parks.
For example, we have implemented measures conceived primarily by Cast Members, such as celebrating anniversaries of Theme Parks
and character birthdays along with Guests, under a cooperation system that goes beyond divisions. This system has also been used to
improve operational efficiency. For daytime parades at Tokyo Disneyland, which resumed in April 2021, there was a problem of
inadequate viewing space in some areas, but we revised the operations of the entire area and were able to expand viewing spaces.
Our goal has always been “We Create Happiness,” and the most important element is the power of
people. We believe that the idea of one Cast Member can lead to the creation of new value that
exceeds the expectation of the Guests when we realize it as a team. In order to have Guests to want
to visit this place again, we, the Cast Members who welcome Guests at the very front line of Parks,
have come together as one and demonstrated our create imagination and flexible response to provide
new value.
At Tokyo Disneyland, we opened the Park’s first full-scale indoor theater “Fantasyland Forest Theatre” in April 2021, and started the new
regular “Showbase” show “Club Mouse Beat” in July. We are preparing to introduce “Believe! Sea of Dreams,” a new type of nighttime
entertainment at Tokyo DisneySea, in FY2022.
We wish to be a group of professionals capable of providing “inspiring experiences that go beyond mere satisfaction” with
entertainment. In order to create a strong structure that can flexibly respond to major environmental changes that may occur in the
future, we have refined the functions of each of our organizations, including a function to create new programs, a manufacturing
function that realizes creativity, and a performance function that continuously provides inspiring
experiences to Guests, and restructured our organization in April.
Theme Parks are places where people can feel connections between each other, and entertainment
is the symbol of these Parks. I am certain that the value of entertainment at the Parks, where people
can gather in a single space and share in exciting experiences, will become even more important now
that it is more difficult to feel connections with people. We will continue to evolve, so that we can
deliver dreams and excitement to our Guests with the power of entertainment.

Merchandise Division
In the Food Division, we have made safe operation of food facilities our top priority, and worked on maximizing sales and reducing costs
by focusing on improving Guest satisfaction. For example, we worked to create environments where Guests can enjoy dining with peace
of mind by introducing 2D code menus to reduce contact infection from menu books, and by spacing out seats to ensure social distancing.
We are also making new efforts for the purpose of labor saving, such as introducing self-checkout at some stores.
We have developed a new dining experience, in the form of a sweets buffet at a buffet restaurant that originally served typical meals.
We have never had a large restaurant specialized in serving sweets, and Guests were happy with this first attempt made in the Parks.
In the large-scale development area of Tokyo Disneyland, we opened “La Taverne de Gaston,” a
restaurant with the motif of Gaston, a character from the Disney movie “Beauty and the Beast,” as
well as “The Big Pop,” the first popcorn specialty store at Tokyo Disney Resort.
At Tokyo Disneyland, we started the sale of alcoholic drinks on a trial basis. We will start
full-scale sale of alcoholic drinks in FY2021, while monitoring trends and safety of our
Guests.
In FY2021 as well, we will continue safe operation of food facilities, improve experience value, and maximize profits.
At Tokyo DisneySea, we are offering a special limited time menu to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Time to Shine!” At Tokyo
Disneyland, we are selling sweets made in collaboration with the popular French patisserie “Sadaharu AOKI paris.”
We are also considering the introduction of a mobile ordering system to provide a smooth and comfortable dining experience, and
conducted test operations.
Furthermore, in order to reduce our burden on the environment as much as possible, we introduced
straw free lids in June 2021 as our efforts to control the generation of straw waste.
We hope that Guests can experience the joy of the Park and connection between people through
dining experiences at the Parks. Even if the environment in Parks and lifestyles of people change,
human interaction will always be the source of charm of the Parks, and our wish to make people
happy by providing fine dining remains unchanged. We will continue to pursue development of
delicious dining experiences that give Guests a sense of the worlds created within our Parks, and
deliver happiness through conversations and smiles.
Conducting Environmentally Friendly Initiatives While Continuing New Challenges
Creating Environments Where Guests Can Enjoy Meals With Peace of Mind, and Providing New Dining Experiences

In FY2020, we undertook efforts to ensure that Guests can safely and securely enjoy shopping in the Parks. Some examples of this include
notifying Guests of expected congestion in stores so that they can use this as guidelines for visiting stores, as well as introducing showcase
stores where Guests can scan the 2D code of products on display and buy them using an app. In the future, we aim to continue efforts
not only for safety and security, but also to ensure our Guests can enjoy a comfortable shopping experience.
Also, through Tokyo Disney Resort mobile shopping, we have made it possible even for people who do not visit the parks to purchase
goods, in order to respond to the feeling of disappointment among people who have difficulty visiting the Parks, as we had no choice but
to operate with temporary closures and limited admissions. The response has been very positive, and
we have developed products that can be enjoyed at home to meet the demands of people staying
indoors, which has been well received by a wide range of Guests. The fact that we were able to take
on challenges without being bound by precedents or past frameworks, and that we were able to
deepen our confidence in taking on challenges, is a big step forward that we can use in the future. In
the future, we will make more opportunities for people to experience the charm of our products by
creating new value and refining our existing value.
Until now, the Product Division has increased profits by developing many products and delivering them to our Guests. In the future, we
will continue to make efforts aimed at “restructuring for stronger profitability,” “maximizing profits,” and “creating value that makes the
most of the unique qualities of Tokyo Disney Resort.” For example, we will undertake various challenges such as strengthening our profit
structure and improving resilience against fluctuation risks of the business environment through flexible and agile store management while
ensuring the satisfaction of Guests and through efforts such as efficient product development, inventory management, and waste
reduction. We will also undertake challenges by developing products that allow Guests to enjoy the
experience of being in the Parks while staying at home, as well as new sales methods.
In addition, we are promoting initiatives for long-term sustainable growth. At the moment, we have
used organic cotton and recycled materials to develop the product “LET’S START WHERE WE CAN!”
with the intent of reducing our environmental load. In addition, we have been providing safe products
with guaranteed quality, in cooperation with our various business partners, and we aim to continue
cooperation and collaboration throughout our supply chain. We will contribute to improving Guest
satisfaction and profitability by providing safe and charming products which Guests can enjoy with
peace of mind.

In FY2021, we will continue our efforts to recover business performance and
improve experience value.
In an environment that continues to be challenging, it is more important than
ever to demonstrate the teamwork of Cast Members.
For example, we solicited ideas from our employees to increase Guest
satisfaction, and in June 2021, we began selling the accommodation plan with
photo tour at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, which allows Guests to enjoy a photo tour
around the hotel with a photographer. Guests who used this plan told us they
enjoyed special commemorative photos taken in locations unique to this tour.
In addition, for the first time at Tokyo Disney Resort, the Disney Ambassador
Hotel sold special rooms themed on “Disney Twisted–Wonderland,” a
Disney Hotels were temporarily closed from April 1 to June 29 in FY2020 due to the Parks’ closure. This was a difficult decision to make
considering the feelings of Guests who had made reservations. During this time, we continued to renovate the hotels and conduct
inspections so that Guests could stay in the hotels while they were in the best possible condition after reopening.
When we reopened, we took measures in accordance with the guidelines created by the Japan Hotel Association to ensure that the
safety and security of our Guests was our top priority in our operations. On the day of the reopening, many Guests told us that they were
looking forward to the reopening, which cheered up our Cast Members. The hotel is a space full of smiling faces of Guests and Cast
Members, and we will continue to strive to make it a place where irreplaceable memories are created.
As for room occupancy, initially, the occupancy rate was about 50% of the normal level, but after that, we raised the upper limit of the
occupancy rate gradually. At the same time, we continued our efforts to reduce costs and curb cash outflows by reviewing the content of
our operations and personnel assignments, strengthening the help system among departments to improve labor productivity, and
reviewing non-urgent investment projects and equipment purchases, such as system upgrades and repairs of facilities and equipment.
We are also planning to open two new Disney Hotels in the future.
First, in April 2022, we plan to open Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story® Hotel, the fifth Disney Hotel in Japan themed on the Disney and
Pixar film Toy Story series. The exterior, entrance, lobby, and other areas will be filled with features that will give Guests a sense of the
world of toys, and with easy access to both Parks, the dream world will continue uninterrupted from the Park experience to the overnight
stay experience. The hotel will be the first moderate type Disney Hotel in Japan, making it easier for Guests to enjoy their stay than the
deluxe type Disney Hotels.
In FY2023, a new Park-integrated Disney Hotel is scheduled to open in the area of the Tokyo DisneySea Large-Scale Expansion Project.
This Disney fantasy-themed hotel will offer a magnificent and beautiful view of the new theme port from the windows of the guest rooms
facing the Park, allowing Guests to enjoy a stay experience that is at one with the magic of the Park. In addition to the deluxe rooms,
some of the guest rooms will be luxury rooms, offering the highest level of accommodation experience at Tokyo Disney Resort.
These new hotels are essential contents that will support the growth of Tokyo Disney Resort over the medium to long term. We believe
that the Hotel Business is not only important as a source of revenue, but also has a very high position in shaping the value of Tokyo Disney
Resort. We will continue to contribute to a richer experience at the Resort by enhancing the number of guest rooms and variations to
meet the various needs of our Guests.
Mobilizing the Power of Cast Members to Recover Business Performance and Enhance Our Experience Value
Despite Efforts to Improve Our Experience Value, Revenue and Profit Declined Mainly Due to a Temporary Closures of Disney Hotels
With the Opening of the Two Disney Hotels, We Will Be Able to Offer More Options to Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Guests.

Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta also offered the MiraCosta Suite Afternoon Party Plan, a one-day plan that allows Guests to enjoy a
meal with a view of Tokyo DisneySea, which was well received.
In the future, we will continue to promote personnel exchanges across departments to mobilize the power of our Cast Members and
provide even better service.
