Do we all expect for the November vacation packages to open on June 1st at 3pm like they did for October? 🤞🏼

We’ll be near the entrance as early as possible to enter the park at 09:00.

We’ve already got Fast-pass for:

1. Space Mountain (15:00-18:00)
2. Beauty and the Beast (14:00)
3. Splash Mountain (no time-slot)

Priority Pass order (try and get as many as possible, 09:00, 11:00, 13:00 etc.)

1. Pooh’s Hunny Hunt
2. Monsters Inc. Ride & Go Seek!
3. Big Thunder Mountain
4. Haunted Mansion
5. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
6. Star Tours: The Adventure Continues

We’ll go to the parade at 13:00 and the evening parade at 19:15.

Is it smart to do these rides first at 09:00?

1. Peter Pan’s Flight
2. Pinocchio’s Daring Journey
3. Snow White’s Adventures
4. Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin

Rides we really want to do too: Western River Railroad Mickey’s PhilharMagic Mark Twain Riverboat (maybe)

Not that interested:

1. Jungle Cruise
2. Country Bear Theater
3. It’s a small World (probably still do it)
4. The Happy Ride with Baymax

Stitch Encounter could be an option if we have the time for it.

Closed attractions:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Alice’s Tea Party
3. Dumbo The Flying Elephant
4. Explorer Canoes

What are your thoughts? How would you start your day at Tokyo Disneyland? I’m eager to know. 😉

Sorry this isn't exactly Disney-related, but I figured this would be the best place to asked as it's a partner hotel...

I'm staying at Hilton Tokyo Bay in a few weeks (for Disneyland!). Before I booked I only came across positive reviews of the hotel, but recently I've been seeing more and more bad reviews saying the Celebrio rooms are in a bad state - and of course that's the type of room I've booked (bay-view side) 🥲

I have read they're in the process of renovating floor by floor, and wondering if anyone knows which floors have been renovated at all, or if anyone has any recommendations of floors/areas to select, as it seems I can choose my room 24 hours before check in. I'm kinda worried now of getting one that's dirty or smells of mould, which quite a few reviews have mentioned. I'll be staying there for 8 nights so that'll be a long week having to live in a bad room 😬

Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas or suggestions!

Currently booking a vacation package for October. ’ve selected my package, room, and all content. But I’m stuck on the Disney account login page for about 15 minutes now… any suggestions?

I used the Tokyo Disney iPhone app - logged in 10 minutes prior to the October 2024 availability (3pm JST), placed in the queue for about 50 minutes and then was able to smoothly book all the attractions and breakfast. I went with the Enjoy Attractions - 2Days. Total price for 2 adults and 2 children came out to be 333,200 yen.

Next month i will try to book a single night stay at the same hotel and hopefully link that room to this vacation package. We’re excited.

Anyone knows the difference between the room types in terms of the Harbour View experience?

I see there are many options like Terrace Room, Superior Room, Balcony Room and Harbour Room, all of which have Harbour View.

Im guessing the best is Terrace Rooms? Any idea which I should aim for if there are no more Terrace Rooms available?

Appreciate your feedback/opinion.

i always hear to avoid it like the plague during holidays, but if you look at the app today you will see the park is so quiet. im a little confused tbh, is the app broken lol its midday and there is a 5 minute wait for splash mountain and most rides. i should have gone today damn it lol

Hi all,

We found out that Journey will be closed when we’re visiting later this year (😭). The closure is a little over a month.

Here’s the silly question—Do they usually put scrims and scaffolding up along Mount Prometheus during these refurbishments or is it mostly just the internal attraction? We’re super bummed about the closure and we’re hoping it doesn’t also mean the view of the volcano will be covered.

Thanks!

How does the Entry Request work (for shows)?

I just noticed a charge from TDR for a “plan fee” in the amount of 16USD. I have not changed my reservation since making it a few months ago. Any idea what this is?

Hi all!

I believe I know the answer to this, but just double checking. The attraction tickets you book through the vacation package have NO impact on your ability to book Premiere or Priority Passes in the park on the day of your visit, right?

So, if I choose to book all my vacation package passes in the afternoon, that won’t prevent me from booking additional passes as soon as I arrive in the parks first thing in the morning, right?

Thanks!!!

Going May 12 regular tickets to DL, no reservations (we get in the night before and just wanna sleep in then wander, and we're at Hilton then)

May 13- TDS. pick up vacation package at Mira Costa at 7am, eat quicky buffet, line up for Happy Entry at 8:15. Get show tickets. Get premier access for Believe. Ride booked at 11, do some counter service lunch, two additional ride passes booked plus 40th anniversary pass as possible. 4:20 dinner at Magellan's. Chill and watch night shows.

May 14- DL again. This time breakfast at 7:50, followed by Happy Entry around 8:20. Book show. Book electrical parade premier access. Beauty and the Beast 11am booking. Dinner at 4:10 at Blue Bayou. Splash Mountain anytime return. One more anytime and 40th anniversary as needed. Electrical Parade to end night.

May 25- DS again. Same breakfast 7:50 Happy Entry lineup at 8:20. Book show and any premier access. Have Soarin at 11am. Two more to be used as needed. Italian restaurant whose name I forget at 5. Watch Believe again from regular viewing. Head out to Tokyo proper after park closing.

A couple questions:

What shows are best at each park to book during Happy entry? What rides are most useful to book then? What about Premier access?

Can just one person book show passes and Premier access for the whole party if you do the daily linking thing ahead of time? Or does everyone have to do their own?

Thank you!!!

I’m sure it’ll be crowded but maybe not next level horrible can’t breathe through the people crowds people have been talking about! I was able to get my tickets for the second week of June yesterday. I hope that means it won’t be as crazy as we’re all thinking

I’m so excited to visit TDR 😃

just putting it out there, I would imagine images and videos will surface soon.

We are headed back north from a trip to Osaka on May 9th, leaving japan on the 10th. Is it worth it to do the evening pass on May 9th ? Will it be crushed with visitors?

We are not big theme park heads but understand that Disney sea is something special!

Are bubble bands a thing at Tokyo Disney? Trying to decide if it would be appropriate to bring for a couple of toddlers.

How cooked am I?

Hi, when do the Halloween decorations usually go up? I've been once on Halloween and that is my favorite holiday. I'm thinking of going earlier next year like maybe sometime in August. Everything I see online says when summer celebrations end the Halloween decorations go up. Is that the entire month of August that summer is still up? Thanks.

I have always heard stories about crowds and lines and all that at Tokyo Disney Resorts but I was blown away with how little I had to wait in lines, with just a little patience and day of planning. This was the case for both parks but I’ll explain how I did it.

Going to gameplan for Tokyo Disneyland which I was surprised to say was my favorite of the two parks.

1. Get there 30 minutes before opening.
2. Ride a “Priority access” ride first. I went splash mountain as it was in the back and since I was there so early waited maybe 10 minutes to get on the ride.
3. When you enter you need to do 3 things on your phone. Book a Priority access pass for Beauty and the beast. I booked 2 priority (paid) passes a day to skip lines 80 minutes and longer which is more than worth it for me. Then book a 40th anniversary pass for a ride of your choice, which is essentially a normal fast pass system. Then book a show ticket, all the stage shows at TDR well exceeded expectations.
4. As the day progresses, keep booking 40th anniversary passes for things like Space Mountain, Monsters Inc, Haunted Mansion, etc. book the popular ones early. Do not book Star Tours, it was a 5 minute wait like the whole day.

The only rides I didn’t fast pass were It’s a small world, The tiki room, Pinocchio, Country Bear Jamboree, Pirates, and Snow White, and I was on in about 10 minutes or less for each one. I did skip Baymax and Buzz Lightyear though which have long lines.

I’ve looked around a bit to see when the hotel pools open and know that they open during summer. I think one of the sites specifically said around mid July and wanted to check to see if they might open before then as I have a visit in mid June. It seems to be a little hard to believe it would take that long for them to open since Japan will be plenty hot and the hotels will likely be at max capacity with fantasy springs opening.

I know that this is the posted date, but will they open up the pools sooner in practice or have a soft opening? Has anyone seen the pools open in mid June? I hope that even if mid-July is an official date the pools may open earlier given weather is warm enough, or that the date is not super strict/accurate

I actually mostly just want to walk around the pools and take in ambience, so I would be ok if the grounds were open to explore even if the pools were not.

Thanks!

I'm currently planning a trip to TDR in mid January, a bit after the holiday period. I'm wondering about the etiquette of queuing for Happy Entry. Would it frowned upon, if I got to the queue early to get a good spot and then my wife and 2 kids joined me just before opening?

Hey, guys. Just came back from Japan recently. I promised in certain threads that I would test out if QR codes (app vs just screen shot) can be scanned into attractions at the gates.

And the answer is, YES, screenshot of QR codes scan just fine. App needs not to be active/open. Now I can personally 100% confirm to everyone in this sub. (I was already 90% sure, and now I am 100% certain and can answer with full confidence.)

And this goes for all QR codes. Your QR code for admission ticket, DPA, and priority pass. Anything with QR code, you just screenshot it, and you can text/share/send it to different members of your party, and it will work just fine. No need to download or install the official app, as far as this goes. (This helps because inevitably someone in your party will not entertain the idea of downloading yet another app onto their phones. For whatever reason, lol! This also allows a bigger party to split up for certain portion of the day, then re-meet up later.)

THE ONLY CAVEAT here is that QR codes for DPA and priority pass will not activate or show up until 5 mins before your scheduled activity time. So if Space Mountain is at 2:00 pm, you won't see your code in the app until 1:55 pm. Until then, the square is just white/blank. Hope this helps!

I'm going to be in Tokyo for a few weeks over the summer, and am returning to the states on June 7th. There are still seemingly tickets available for June 6th which is the OPENING DAY of Fantasy Springs at Disney Sea. How stupid of me would it be to try to visit opening day? I've been to Tokyo Disney before and have family in Japan, so chances are l'll be back in a few years and could make a visit when the crowds have died down. I'm not sure if I'll get to experience anything at all, or if I'd be making a foolish choice.
