With the event starting on floor 350, fans are able to view an 8 minute screening of the history of the series before heading up the elevator to the main part of the event. Upon reaching the 445th floor, you're greeted with worlds that Sora has visited and a photo op section featuring his throne. Going up the 110 meter windmill corridor, the walls will be covered with worlds such as "Wonderland", "Atlantica", "Olympus Coliseum", and "Neverland" with the Keyblade from each respective world introducing it. On the other side of the wall, it shows Sora's journey with maps of the world maps from each title. Arriving at floor 450, a photo op section featuring the Keyblade Graveyard is installed, where fans can take pictures holding Keyblades from the series. At the tower's highest point, fans are welcomed to a Keyblade installed onto a stand where touching it simulates the opening of the door to light. In this room, it seems that there are new renders of characters that haven't been officially released such as Xemnas, Xigbar, Saix, Vanitas, Luxord, and Young Xehanort! 

The event also includes a shop selling limited time goods, where every 1,500 Japanese Yen spent grants you one out of the 5 available stamps. Once all 5 stamps are acquired, you will be granted a limited postcard while supplies last. The products are listed below:

Whoa, that's cool!  I wish I was in Japan to attend this event.   Holding onto each of the keyboard and looking at the maps sounds epic.

Sounds really awesome! I hope when the X-Keepers go there they share their experience. I would love to see what it looks like.

I was honestly hoping Disney would put some sort of Kingdom Hearts themed park or attraction in Disneyland, Florida. The thing they're holding at Disney Springs is only go on for a limited amount of time. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how popular Kingdom Hearts is in the U.S. compared to Japan.

I've always wondered this too because as much publicity is getting now i still feel like it's extremely niche here in the U.S. I don't think the turn out would be that crazy.

This sounds so cool :,,,) dang I wish we got this in the US too :,,,,,,)

IF THEY GOT SOME KINGDOM HEARTS CHARACTER ACTORS FOR THE PARKS I WOULD STRAIGHT UP DIE.

It would be cool.  Plus, they could bring in some new customers in if they gave a discount for any KH related event they were holding.  My parents never took me to any of the Disney Parks growing up because it was always too expensive and too far away.

It's really weird too. On one hand, I've heard people like my one former high school art teacher say it has a big following, I've seen a few people I went to high school with wear Kingdom Hearts hats, pins, and t-shirts, and I've also heard this one dude at my local Gamestop talk about  how much people have been talking about KH 3 for the past six years and how he had gotten pre-orders of the game from sixty people already. But, I don't hear a lot of people talk about it outside of the internet  unless I bring it up to people and most people don't know what it is while others do. So, it makes me really confused on whether it's niche or not here.

THIS. I know maybe 3 people in person that actually knows what Kingdom Hearts is. Anyone one of my gamer friends that does know what it is isn't entirely fond of KH. It's so weird

I've met some people that don't like Kingdom Hearts because of Disney.  Some don't like the game because of Square Enix as well.  Some people just think the game is too childish or comes across as too much of a self-insert fanfiction.

Unfortunately, I've heard of people not liking it because, to put it "nicely", they think It's "weeaboo crap" as well.

I did meet someone, a former caregiver that got Roxas's sigil as a tattoo once.  Of course that was years ago.
