Power-Saving Efforts
At the Disney Themed Parks
1.Efforts to Conserve Electricity
■ General Outline
Oriental Land will take steps to reduce the use of electricity during the summer months, in accordance
with government measures for power conservation. These power-saving efforts will be implemented
from April through June as well. Oriental Land will also strive to ensure a stable power supply while
adjusting flexibly to external and internal factors concerning the availability of electricity. As part of
the above efforts, implementations of new power generators are also being scheduled.
■ Examples of Power-Saving Efforts
① In the Disney Parks
Indoor and outdoor lighting in the Parks will be reduced, but without compromising the safety of our
guests. Also, the use of escalators and water fountains will be restricted, the temperature of air
conditioning units will be adjusted, and electric hand dryers in the restrooms will be turned off.
Attractions and Entertainment
None of the attractions or entertainment programs are suspended for reasons of energy conservation.
Priority in the use of power will be placed on lighting and other factors that contribute to the
atmosphere, so as to avoid detracting from the guests’ experience as much as possible.
② In the Offices
Efforts are being made in the back offices to conserve energy, such as reducing lighting in the offices,
lobbies and corridors; adjusting the temperature of air conditioning units; suspending the use of
electric hand dryers in the restrooms; limiting the use of elevators, etc.
2.Use of Power for Parades and Water Shows
The majority of power for Tokyo Disneyland® parades and Tokyo DisneySea® water shows is utilized
by the floats and the barges. However, these floats and barges do not require electricity during the
time of the performances.
Parades
Parade floats, including those for “Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights,” are lighted and
operated by rechargeable batteries. When charging the batteries, we also take advantage of the late
night hours when general power demand is at its lowest.
Water Shows
The barges that appear in “Fantasmic!” and other water shows are lighted and powered by generators
that are installed on the barges themselves.
3.In-House Power Generators
Oriental Land owns generators that utilize solar energy and natural gas (cogeneration system). The
generated power is used in the Parks and in the offices. At peak production, these generators can
produce more than approximately 3,000 kilowatts of power. Furthermore, Oriental Land is currently
planning to increase the use of solar panels and to implement new generators (capacity of approximately
15,000 kilowatts, scheduled for implementation in August with an investment of about 3 billion yen).
