We will be visiting late January. Not ideal, I know, but if you had to choose one, which would you and why? Wife will be 7 months pregnant!

so, i went to TDS on Nov 13th (wednesday) and it was kinda crazy crowded for a wednesday in early november. (if you're reading this in december, everyday is gonna be crowded).

but, when i got there (arrived 7am, entered about 8:55am) i was only able to get DPA for Rapunzels Lantern Festival and a SP for peter pan.

but while i was eating lunch (in the snuggly duckling, the shrimp burger is delicious highly recommend), i was checking the app (around 12:55pm) and DPAs for Frozen came out (for 1:45pm).

so what i'm saying is to not worry so much about FS, enjoy the Disney magic. don't stress so much over the rides.

Hi everyone! Sharing my experience at DisneySea on Tuesday, November 19th, in case it helps with your planning. I ran into a big issue that I want to warn you about, so keep reading!

🚞 Morning/Passes: We took the train from Tokyo and arrived at 6:00 AM. Thanks to advice from this subreddit, we were near the front of the crowd. Security opened at 8:30 AM.

Both my husband and I had the Disney app on our phones. My AT&T service worked great, but my husband’s T-Mobile signal struggled. Once inside, we both had trouble loading the app until we moved deeper into the park, which improved signal.

💳 The Problem: None of our credit cards (3 Visas and 1 Mastercard) worked in the app! Thankfully, a friend who visited the week before let us use her card info. Keep a backup plan just in case!

🎢 Rides and Ratings: • Tower of Terror: Walk-on. 10/10 I love this ride in the US and Paris, and it’s great for husbands who get dragged along! • Rapunzel Lantern Festival: Standby, 10 min wait. 10/10 Stunning! A must-do since it’s unique to this park. • Soaring: DPA, walk-on. 5/10 Hot take: kind of boring. Glad I didn’t rope-drop it. • Journey to the Center of the Earth: DPA, 5 min wait. 100/10 Hands down, my favorite ride of the trip. • Toy Story Mania: DPA, no wait. 9/10 Long but super fun—great for friendly competition! • The Magic Lamp Theatre: 40th Anniversary Pass, no wait. 6/10 Fully in Japanese, so I didn’t understand it, but it was a nice break for my feet.

🫡 Advice/Tips: • Arrive Early: Get there by 6:30 AM if you want to ride popular attractions or access Fantasyland quickly. • Consider Uber or Taxi: If you’re in a group, split an Uber or taxi from Tokyo—it’s only about 30 minutes. Alternatively, take a taxi from the final station instead of walking. Many people who did this were ahead of the train crowd. • Plan Your Bookings: Have everyone in your group ready to book on their phones as soon as you enter. Each person can handle DPA, standby, and 50th simultaneously. I focused on standby, my husband on DPA, and whoever finished first grabbed the 50th. • Parade Viewing Tip: Get your spot early. I recommend sitting near where they load the Gondolas. I snagged a spot by the fence 45 minutes ahead and had a great view. • Food Warning: The park food isn’t great. Pack snacks from a convenience store—they saved us when we realized how limited the meal options were.

Let me know if I missed anything! Happy to answer any questions.

well my first report got deleted and i didn't notice so here's another one guys!

i went on November 13th, a Wednesday

we got to the parks at about 7:10am long lines, if u want to get in within 15 minutes of opening, i recommend u get there at 6:30am

the security line started moving about 8:20 and they opened the park gates shortly after.

once we got in we got a Standby for peter pan and a DPA for tangled (frozen was all gone)

we weren't able to take Toy Story Mania or Soarin, but we paid for Tower of Terror after our 1 hour was up and took that.

well as for FS, we ended up not taking Peter Pan cuz my party doesn't like 4D rides, and we had a priority pass for indy soon after it.

well after watching some YT videos and reading up on this sub, i had realised that extra DPAs usually come out at 12-1pm, so while we were eating at the snuggly duckling i was reloading, and i was able to get Frozen DPAs!!!

all i'm saying is that don't worry about FS so much, most of the time it'll work itself out!!

we got in at about 8:55 and

As a Disney World Florida annual pass holder, I feel I have a little bit more knowledge on how to circumvent the madness of the Disney parks, but the language barrier and general lack of knowledge of both Disney Sea and Disneyland has me 2nd guessing my idea.

My thoughts:

• We don't need to go on rides that also exist in the states
• we will only doing rides a 6 months old baby can go on on my lap
• I'm seriously there for the food and atmosphere more than anything
• I don't understand a lick of Japanese so shows will be only to sit and rest for a while
• we are only in Japan for a limited amount of time and I don't want to spend two days at an amusement park when we could be exploring and going to museums or shrines

So hypothetically we could park hop and see all of the unique rides and food in one day. I'm still trying to research the exact rides we will go on and if it's better to start in one park over the other because of opening/closing times and of course which I can get a "Lighting Pass" for (I know it's called something else 🙈).

Am I crazy? I'll take any suggestions, tips, advice, name-calling for trying to do it all, etc

My cousin is going to Disneyland Tokyo and I want to ask her to look for Tsum tsums, but I don’t know if they still exist. Can someone please confirm? Ty in advance!

Possibly wanting to buy a Baymax one. It looks cute and silly at the same time and would totally turn heads in Anaheim, but not if. It's annoying to wear

Mickey the Entertainer Popcorn Bucket - ·3,200 ($20.82 USD not include tax, fees etc.)

I love this one! You get 3 characters and the mat black is a nice design. Last year they had a Minnie Mouse one so it's cool Mickey is featured in this one!

I have a trip planned to disney sea next year and I'm anxious if I can fit. I'm 5'8 and about 310 lbs, my size is 24 womens. I'm working to slim my waist/stomach down but I'm still unsure if I'll be slim enough to fit by then. Which rides are pretty snug on a bigger person and which won't I fit entirely?

Anybody have any idea why the 8:50pm show was cancelled last night?

As the title states; my partner and I are visiting the park for the first time later this year. We're only going to get one day out of our visit, so any help for understanding how the park operates is welcome! I've been reading up from other people in this subreddit and taking notes.

The main thing is I haven't been to a Disney park in general in like 15 years. I have 0 knowledge of how their apps, online reservations, etc. work, so that's the biggest learning curve at the moment

Been seeing heaps on people but can't find it anywhere for sale.

30th October. This was meant to be a live post but was in bot jail for a few days .. Got there at 10:05 , family of 5, definitely not crowded (calendar showed green yesterday) and rain this morning helped (stoped at 11 and has been very hot since). Queues have been fine, used DPA for soaring and 40 anniversary for Indy (at 10:05 the first available slot was 4.20) Soaring was great, really made done and the artwork in the rotunda really well made. indy is ok, a good rollercoaster but nothing unique imo.

However Frozen is impossible to get to, no DPA and no standby. We did get into Fantasy Spring thanks to DPA for Peter Pan and checked the sights. Peter Pan was awesome.

Now hoping they reissue standby for Frozen (it's 3.30).

Toys Story was a 30 minute wait, ok all things considered.

Nemo (Japanese only, it's ok not great) and Aquatopia (just ok) were 5 mins. 20,000 under was 15 mins. We didn't care for Journey but that was not DPA available.

Overall a nice day, restaurant waits are short. The sights are beautiful so come anyway.

We took internal transfer boat coming back from Fantasy Spring to Med Harbour as had walked previously so made moving to NY area much better.

Does anyone know the story about the crashed plane with the C-P3O reference on the side?

I was at Disney Sea on Sunday and my husband and I kept checking for Frozen on the app. I gave up by 4 pm but my husband kept trying. When we were literally in line for dinner around 6:30 pm we found a 7:55 to 8:45 slot available! So just wanted to post this to let y’all know not to lose hope and keep checking!

Just experienced a Wednesday DisneySea trip. I didn't do a great job researching, but I feel like some information is a bit scattered. Here is what I learned from my experience.

GETTING INTO THE PARK: I intended to get there by 5:30, but overslept. Got to the park at 6:30. There was already a huge group of lines. They started taking people through bag checkbat 8:00, not 8:30, so, when my wife finally got to the park with the kids at 8:35-8:40, I had to let several groups through (meaning several groups through all the different lines.

By the time we got through bag check and in the park, Frozen's Disney Premier Access was already gone and we could only reserve the Stand-by tickets.

DPA AND OTHER PASS TIP: Pro tip here, but youu can only reserve one DPA, Stand-by, and 40th Anniversary Priority Pass at a time, BUT (and I didn't know this), the next available reservations open up for you in one hour. That means the earliest of birds get best access to DPA throughout the day. So, going back to the GETTING INTO THE PARK note, you should try to arrive as early as possible since passes do run out. You may not even get stand by tickets to the most popular areas' rides (which you need to access thr most popular area, Fantasy Springs.

FANTASY SPRINGS: Definitely the best part of Tokyo Disney and Tokyi DisneySea. The details incorporated into this area is unmatched. Beautifully designed. I'm not fanatic over Disney, but I definitely appreciated everything. Think Star Wars Land in Anaheim with 2x-4x more detail.

FOOD/CONCESSIONS: Mobile Order is the way to go to reserve and get food at various installations. Unless you love popcorn, do NOT rely on the stalls along the park. I have no idea what the obsession is with popcorn in Japan (perhaps it's the most convenient, cost-effective, and efficient snack), but we had a hard time finding a booth that did NOT sell pop corn ONLY. Note, that each stand only carries 1 type of snack/popcorn. For example, if you like caramel popcorn, I saw one near the Agraba section and never again, so grab it up if you want. I tried the roast beef popcorn and thought it was disgusting, but my youngest didn't seem to mind it.

Lmk if you have any questions.

EDIT: I should have included this above (again, info available in various blogs/posts), but you can only start reserving passes once you are physically within the park. This is why it's important to line up and be early to get through the bag check lines, and then on to the park ticket lines. Once you get through those two areas, you will be in the park and then attempt to reserve your various passes for rides.

I have a weird ask. Would anyone going to Tokyo Disneyland soon be able to acquire an unused food wrapper from the Good Time Cafe and ship to me for a project I’m doing? I’ll obviously pay for shipping for it and all that. It would be super helpful :)

Going to Tokyo Disneyland late this year and would love to ride beauty and the beast as I've heard it's amazing - however I suffer from motion sickness - very easily. For those that have done it and get motion sickness , did you feel dizzy ? How bad is it ? Any tips or advice ? Is it worth it ?

We’ll be visiting the good time cafe during our trip to Disneyland next year. I’m not sure which sandwich I am going to get. I know it’s not really something that needs to be planned in advance but I wanted to ask which people like more. The Mickey glove chicken sandwich or the Donald foot shrimp sandwich. Both are very cute and if I could eat both I would totally do it. Just wanted to see which people who’ve had both like more.
