I visited Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea on opening day!
See the rides and food in Fantasy Springs and get some tips on how to get the most from your visit! I visited on Opening Day with a Fantasy Springs Magic ticket that was part of a vacation package but I also have experience using Standby Pass during several of the sneak previews before opening day. I share important things you should know about visiting Fantasy Springs like Standby Pass, Disney Premier Access (DPA) and Mobile Order. I also share strategies for visiting with both types of tickets and my thoughts about the rides, merchandise and restaurants.

    How many points will you be if you reach titanium elite status? And when you use those points for example for free nights, your points get reducted?

    • @ardens-travel-guide
      @ardens-travel-guide 11 часов назад

      Titanium is reached at 75 nights in a year but the amount of points you earn depends on how much you spend. If you regularly pay for expensive hotels rather than cheaper hotels, you'll have more points. When you book a hotel using points, they will be deducted from your account.

    For the $200 quarterly credit: Would I be able just but $50 gift cards every 3 months and accumulate them and use them to purchase future trips? I'm assuming quarterly as in Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep and Oct-Dec.

    Hi! Thank you for the video and review. My wife and I will be visiting Tokyo Disneyland this month and part of our stay, we chose this hotel. I have a couple of questions as I am trying to decide how to book our nights with points. Since we have Platinum status, I know we have access to the Club Lounge already. Would you recommend booking a Club Level room with points still? Or just a regular room and still have lounge access? For the welcome gift, if we choose the Galleria buffet, is the buffet free for just one day or the whole duration of our stay? If it’s just one day, how much is the breakfast buffet daily? Lastly, how does purchasing park tickets work? Should we wait until we get to the hotel to buy tickets? Or buy them before we travel there to Tokyo? Are there early entry perks to the parks for staying at the Sheraton? I know I asked a lot of questions and I appreciate your response. Thank you so much for your help!

    • @ardens-travel-guide
      @ardens-travel-guide 18 дней назад

      I never book a club level room because there's a chance of getting upgraded to one anyway with platinum status. If you're concerned about getting an old, unrenovated room due to upgrades being unavailable, you can book a park wing or ocean dream room. If you select breakfast as a welcome gift, you'll get a voucher for each morning of your stay. The Sheraton does not have early entry into any of the Disney parks. Only the Disney hotels have early entry with the Miracosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel being the only ones which currently give early entry into both Disneyland and DisneySea. You need to purchase tickets in advance to enter the parks. These days, I purchase from Klook when I know which day I want to visit and am comfortable with the exchange rate for yen. You can get 5 USD off your first purchase from Klook if you sign up using my referral link below: www.klook.com/en-US/invite/EU8GUL Be aware that sometimes, Klook will not allow discounts to be used for Tokyo Disney tickets but you can still use it for other attractions in Japan that are sold on Klook.

      After earning Marriott Titanium status, you can link your United Airlines account which will be upgraded to have United Silver status. When you fly United Airlines, you'll get Economy Plus at check-in if you booked regular economy, one free checked bag, and group 2 boarding.

I want to confirm though that all three of use can enter the lounge at the same time? Sounds like only 2 at the time? We cannot leave our 12 year old by her self. Thank you.

    • @ardens-travel-guide
      @ardens-travel-guide Месяц назад

      My understanding of the current policy is that if you book a club room with 3 beds, 3 people will be allowed into the club lounge. The 2 person limit applies to Marriott elites who have access to the lounge due to elite status. To go beyond the limit, you would be charged an extra person fee of 3,000 yen per child up to age 12 or 6,000 yen per adult.
