Don't Go To Tokyo Disney In 2024!

- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- UPDATE: Whilst people are arriving as early as 5am standby passes on average run out at the following times:
Frozen Journey: 8:30
Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival: 9:30
Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure: 10:00
Fairy Tinkerbell’s Busy Buggies: 9:30
HOWEVER, people have been pleasantly surprised to find that if they keep refreshing the app you can pick up cancellations and still get standby passes as late as 7pm! It’s rare and requires a lot of refreshing in the app and no small amount of luck, but it is possible.
Tokyo DisneySea's Fantasy Springs is going to be INCREDIBLE. But there's a good chance you won't get in... Here's why.

❓ Are you planning a visit in 2024 or waiting for things to be a little bit less crazy? Let me know in the comments!
Have my trip booked for the week after Fantasy Springs opens, so that'll be interesting. Will at least be trying to do my best to purchase the Premier Access passes and get there as early as my wife will allow. If I can even see the land, I'll feel satisfied. Even so, we'll still have the rest of DisneySea to explore for the first time. No true loss there.
If you’re coming for the first time you’ll have the best theme park in the world to explore, so you’ll be fine! Fantasy Springs will just be a bonus if you’re able to get in! Get to the gate a couple of hours early and try to get a DPA as soon as you get in, I think you’ll get on 1 ride. Good luck!
@@8bitthemepark Thinking the same. Will definitely be eyeing people's tips and experiences from that first week (hopefully yours among it) to gauge a good approach.
Same here! Planning to go to Disneysea mid June, crossing my fingers for entry. Will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for any advice/tips videos
@@noahdiggs5131 After I’ve been I’ll be sure to make a video explaining the best strategy. But it’s probably going to be as simple as ‘get there ridiculously early’
Make sure you get to the park the night before your park day (7 or 9pm at the latest) and line up for the park entry because both Standby and DPA will sell out in the flash. Don't underestimate how diligent and patient Japanese people are. We line up for a bowl of ramen overnight here in Japan, and Tokyo Disney fans are some of the craziest you will ever see on the planet.
My friend was just there and said the crowds were fine. I'm going in March. I'm sure it will be busy, but I'm not stressin.
January/February have the lowest crowds of the year. March shouldn’t be too bad as long as you avoid golden week and go on weekdays. I hope you have an amazing time!!
@@8bitthemeparkthanks for the tip! What is the next best month to visit this year?
@@stellaying I guess September, although Fantasy Springs will still be pretty new, and Tokyo Disneyland have a new castle show coming. To be honest the rest of the year is going to be pretty crowded so don’t worry about it too much! Just check the ride maintenance calendar on their website so make sure your favourite rides will be open.
@@8bitthemepark got it! But will sep be crowded due to the Halloween events & Japanese loveeee cosplaying? Or is that only an Oct thing?
@@stellaying Halloween is super popular (and a lot of fun!) but this year for some reason instead of September - October the event will run October 1st - November 7th
Thanks for yet another good vid. Was considering Tokyo this year but I think I’ll wait a year or 2 before venturing over. So excited to see your footage of the new land!
Thanks so much! I’m excited to get it! I just hope I can get in 😅
A year or 2 is probably wise 👍
That's sad you shouldn't listen to him
@@user-zo2nn5fz7w Sad but true!
I look forward to seeing how you survive the opening. Tokyo DisneySea is probably the park I want to visit most in the Disney Parks, but I'm perfectly fine with waiting for the HYPE to die down before trying to make that trip.
Wise move!
I wish I could also say I’m looking forward to it, but it’s some sort of mix of dread and excitement. Dreadcitement? 😅
Was at TDS last week, and was shocked when we walked by the Fantasy Springs entrance area and saw a sign that read "Fantasy Springs is open to all TDS guests". I assumed that meant that only the area was open, not the attractions. To my surprise all the rides were open. It did take a bit of trouble to figure out how to get a "standby" reservation for a ride on the TDR app, but a kind cast member showed us how. We got a pass for Peter Pan, waited only 25 minutes, and it was awesome. By the time we were allowed to get another standby reservation 1.5 hours later all the attractions were booked up. The restaurants were 'mobile order' by app only and this was not working well at all. We gave up trying after 15 minutes. FYI, the TDR app is now available in English and is much easier to use than before. Yay! We felt so lucky to get to see the area and ride at least one attraction. We were not expecting to even get into the area. A very awesome surprise.
That must have been so exciting!!! Thanks for sharing your experience, I’m so excited to go in a couple of weeks!
@@8bitthemepark Have fun! Hopefully you can try all the new rides.
So your video has caused a little storm on Reddit btw... In a good way though! :P
Just wanna say, love your channel and your video.
In fact, your video prompted me to book a Vacation Package at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel (which includes the Fantasy Springs Passport).
You have any tips on getting into the land from that hotel? Even with that ticket and not staying at the Fantasy Springs or MiraCosta, will it still be bonkers? What are your thoughts?
Thanks for the kind words! I did spot that Reddit post haha!
If you have the Fantasy Springs Magic Passport you don’t have to worry about a thing. Take the monorail to DisneySea, get in, walk over to Fantasy Springs and have an amazing time! ✨
I really wanted to go to Japan as soon as my daughter got out of school in May. My husband and mom couldn’t figure out why I was in such a hurry. I kept telling them that I did not want to wait for everyone else to go on vacation in June. So against my wishes, we booked airfare for the week AFTER May, in June.
Then they made their June 6 announcement. Ok great. We have two choices. Be a park warrior like freaking D Day, the second we land, storm the front lines, or go right after Fantasy Springs opens, when BOTH parks will be at capacity, even though we can’t even see Fantasy Springs. So we will land on the 3rd, go straight to the Sheraton, spend time at Bon Voyage and Ikspirari, try to recover from jet lag, go to Disneyland on the 4th, and then DisneySea on the 5th, and hope like hell it’s not busy with content creators, merchandise resellers, and people who have already planned to spend the full week there, instead of a day.
Why did I want to go in May? Gee? I have no idea!!! Maybe I’ll see you in line on our way out.
Yea usually they’d soft open something like this a few days previous, but I have no idea if that’s gonna happen this time… I’d guess those dates will be ok though. I hope you have an amazing time!
@@8bitthemeparkthanks. My belief is that they probably will have media days first, to make guests think they actually can see and do all this stuff with minimal to no crowds. Hope you get an invite.
We are in a similar situation as trip was set way before the announcement. We will arrive on 6/2 but staying in the city central area. Most likely we will go to TDS on 6/5 as well. Guess one of the family we going to bump into will be yours.
@@JC-nv9ekif you see a weirdo with a black DisneyQuest backpack full of pins and plushies, that will be me.
I was feeling disappointed I wasn’t able to go Japan this year. As a Disney enthusiast I am reassured I am going next year so hopefully it will be a bit better by then. Thank you.
Next year sounds great! I hope you have fun!
As someone with travel anxiety, this is really helpful to manage my expectations before I book my tickets. Thank you!
Glad I could be helpful. Managing expectations is exactly my aim! I adore Tokyo Disney, that’s why I moved here (and made a RUclips channel all about it), but we have to be honest about it!
@@8bitthemepark thank you! Just wondering if you know which would be the best month to go for the least crowd?
I just booked a vacation package for October for the guaranteed Fantasy Springs passport. The perks of having locked in Enchanted Tales, Soarin and other rides makes it less stressful too. Doing a combination of vacation package and then a normal 3 day hotel stay! So excited!!
Sounds ideal!! Hope you have an amazing timsnnn
I’m going to TDR in late Sept, a traditionally decent time. The flights have been committed, I’m doing two days each for either park for a total of four days. I’m ready to purchase DAP for any of the fantasy springs rides, or just not ride them if need be. I’m also going in the middle of the week, so it should be ok.
You’ll have an amazing time!! Even if you miss Fantasy Springs you’ll have plenty to do (I hope you’ll get in though!)
I from Hong Kong , I am already booked airline tickets and hotel to go DisneySea at 6/6 first 4 days alone , hope I can go to the new lands and play all the rides , Hong Kong go to Tokyo is easy and fast , one year I go Japan around 5-6 times for travel
Ooh I used to live near Hong Kong!
I hope we can both get in on opening day!
Hope you vlog your insane journey waiting the night before ! 🤣
I definitely will! If I can stay awake 🤣
As an American who lives in Japan, speaks Japanese, and has the income to go all out on the TDR Fantasy Springs Vacation Package plus the Fantasy Springs nori-hodai tickets, I waited all day from 3 p.m. on January 16, 2024 (when tickets were made available)... No Luck :-(
I feel for ya buddy! We’re gonna try getting the Fantasy Springs hotel but I’m sure it’ll be a lot of online queueing and then getting nothing 😅😂😭
@@8bitthemepark yea, we got the vac pack for sept. with FS hotel. My wife and I used different wifis, JP dis accounts, laptops and started waiting online 30 min before the reservations were released, and it worked. now we gotta do it again to get the remaining Dis hotels for the 3 night stay. its really nerve racking, it would be nice if we could do it all at once.
Disney sea all looks beautifully maintained so i think i will Wait a couple of years for the hype to die down a bit
I’m VERY excited to visit Fantasy Springs…….in fall 2027!!! 🤷🏼♂️😄🤷🏼♂️👍👍👍
Haha very good!
I keep saying it’s going to be so nice in 10 years when you can just walk right in 😂
I’m going to Japan for three weeks this November. I want to at least give it a shot.
Do it! Arrive super early and make sure you have your app ready to get Standby Pass and DPA as soon as you get in the gates. Good luck!
Just booked my vacation package at fantasy spring hotel for late Oct, it was very stressful. It’s definitely not cheap with 2 nights at 439K yen for entrance side room but that was the only option left. Looking forward to it!!
It’ll be a hell of a view though! Have an amazing time!!
Will be visiting in November, the opening crowds will probably not be there so much anymore by then. And it’s already an expensive trip, I won’t be making a big deal about buying access passes for the Fantasy Springs rides, especially the Frozen ride since I’m a massive fan of the franchise and I can’t wait to experience a unique Frozen darkride
November will still be super busy as it’ll either be the end of Halloween or the beginning of Christmas. Use jet lag to your advantage and get there super early, everyone will be buying premier access so they’ll sell out in minutes.
Have fun!
The perfect guide! Going this December for a day with a family of 5. Do you think crowds and passes would be manageable around Dec. 20 (Fri) to Dec. 23 (Mon)? Which day would you suggest?
Crowds will be absolutely crazy as it’s the last weekend of the Christmas event. However if you just take it easy, don’t expect to get on everything and enjoy the vibes you’ll have a lovely time :)
So we are taking a once in a lifetime trip to Japan. Do you think that this might make the crowds a little less bad in Toyo Disney park? What about the other areas of DisneySea? It seems that it should pull some crowds away? Or am I just being optimistic?
I think crowds will just be crazy in both parks because that’s how things normally are 😅. It depends when you’re coming though. In the summer when Fantasy Springs is brand new Tokyo Disneyland might take a little dip, but from September Disneyland will have a new castle show which will draw huge crowds.
@@8bitthemepark going August 5-7. It will be boiling hot so I am hoping at least for smaller crowds. Just booked two nights at Celebration. Very excited.
I went to DisneySea in mid April and I was a little sad that the park would have 4 new rides in a matter of months and I wouldn't get to ride them, but in the end it's totally possible I wouldn't have been able to regardless? 😂 amazing 10/10 day experience even without the new area!!
That’s what I keep telling people who are going for the first time after June. If you don’t see any Fantasy Springs you’ll just be going to 2022 TDR, which is still pretty incredible!
Sheesh, now I’m glad I’m going to Disney Sea in May and not June 😅
Can I go to normal Tokyo Disneyland or will it be as busy as Disney sea?
In June
Try to hit the park on a Sunday and you should be fine. To be honest if you’re buying DPA and you get there early you can still have a really good time at Disneyland even on a busy day. Have fun!
We booked for the last week of June and didn't realize FS was a thing! Luckily got the Toy Story Hotel, so this is an added bonus (if we can get in, that is!). Hoping the crowd will be slightly less intense a few weeks post-opening and during the week. Wondering if no holidays, kids still in school makes a difference. 🤞
What a nice surprise that must have been! Honestly if your goal isn’t to see Fantasy Springs you’ll have a great time. I just wanted to warn people that getting into Fantasy Springs isn’t going to be easy!
Have an amazing trip!!
Some friends and I are going to Japan Late Sept - Early Oct. and wanted to visit the park(s).
Would you say it’s a usually busy time of the year to go? Getting to see Fantasy Springs would be a plus but isn’t really a must, we just wanna experience whatever we can at the park lol
October is pretty busy due to Halloween. Normally Halloween is 2 months but this year it will only be 1 month so I’m expecting it to be even busier than usual. But just get there early and use DPA and you’ll be fine. I hope you have a great time!
@@8bitthemepark Omg, completely forgot about Halloween! Thanks for the info!
Visiting in July and have access due to VP, made sense coming from UK and it’s our honeymoon. Won’t have early access as not staying in MC but I can’t wait to see it. I’ll look forward to videos from the opening 😃
Early access won’t be necessary at all with the Vacation Package, have an amazing time!!!
I can’t wait to share my experience with the fantasy springs pass on opening week!
Omg am i even gonna survive during October? It's so stunning but to get in sounds the opposite😂💔 I'd like to visit still!
October’s always a busy time due to Halloween, but it’s also a super fun time as you get to see all the guests dress up!
PREACH 🤲
Agreed! Keep up the good videos!
Thanks friend! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for years!
@@8bitthemepark Thanks I don't really post anymore but sometimes I do. Keep it up!
I booked a vacation package for the week after it opens!! Excited we get guaranteed admission!
Amazing! Not just guaranteed admission, but unlimited queue skipping for every ride!! Have an amazing time!!!
@@8bitthemepark yes!! I’m worried the fast lane will be slower than the regular line. lol but I hope they move the fast lane, well faster. Haha
@@MM-lk1cz Generally Tokyo Disney are very good at having the queue-skipping passes get you on the rides very quickly. I know in the American parks the lightning lane queue is often longer than the standby, but that’s not the case here.
Having said that, we’ve never given people unlimited ones before so I can’t pretend to know how that’s gonna go down! I’ll be there opening week with the unlimited pass tho so I’ll let you know!
Planning a trip for next March (2025) and wondering if these systems will still be in place for Fantasy Springs by then? It will be my first time so of course I want to see everything the parks have to offer, but the Rapunzel area is a must-see for me. Should I consider the tips in this video when booking?
You must be so excited!
Just my opinion, but I don’t see anything changing drastically for at least a year. I’d aim for that Fantasy Springs Magic Pass if possible. If it’s out of your budget just get to the gates super early, I’m sure you’ll at the very least be able to get on Rapunzel 🏮
The reason it is so busy is that the Chinese have finally been allowed to come to Japan post covid.
Definitely a big reason yeah. 18% of park attendance recently has been overseas guests, which is a huge increase.
My family visited TDL & TDS last summer. Upon returning home, we had another Tokyo trip setup, and we will be there between 6/2 - 6/8. My question is, without the fantasy Spring Pass, should we better off go to TDS before 6/6 to avoid the crowd? In that case, we could come back to experience Fantasy Spring a year or two later.
To be honest if I was you I’d come after it opens, get to the park super early and try to get in. What have you got to lose? If that sounds miserable though and you don’t like an early morning, it may be worth going before opening date to avoid the super crazy crowds.
I plan on going to Tokyo Disney and sea
But if I don’t get in
No worries
While everyone is there I will enjoy the rides that are not crowded
I think this is the best attitude, just enjoy what has made these parks so great until now!
A word of warning though, it won’t just be Fantasy Springs that will be busy, expect large crowds around the rest of both parks.
Do you think that the first week of Fantasy Springs opening will have an impact on Tokyo Disneyland?
That’s a great question. My guess would be that other than a few more theme park nerds visiting from abroad the park will be relatively normal. Which is to say, pretty busy.
I’m actually overall ok with their plans. They are giving priority who’s willing to pay. Which is logical.
For those who don’t wanna pay, wait it out. Pretend it’s not open yet. Go in 2025. That’s often what I did when I’m a poor college student. No one tells you you HAVE TO experience the land and/or rides once they open, ya know?
Me and my friend gonna do the hotel and passport route in late 2024 if available. If not, I gonna just skip it all together. Wait till 2025. Not gonna deal with the crowd non sense these parks are artificially creating, lol.
Considering Beauty and the Beast still gets 2-3 hour queues most weekends, I think we’ll hav to wait a long time before you can just stroll in stress free. I hope I’m wrong though!
I’ve said this before here, but I’m hoping to go around 2028, and by then Fantasy Springs will be a few years old. I absolutely believe you that it will be super crowded and hard to get into when it first opens, and with the new Space Mountain opened by then I just hope it takes some guests away from Fantasy Springs and Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast.
I suspect that Space Mountain will likely be a similar situation when I plant to go as it will be under a year old, but I’ll likely buy an express pass even if it would be expensive to do so.
Although the fact you said that a parade eight years old gets that much crowds does concern me a little bit. I really want to go and have an amazing experience especially since I know there’s a very high chance I might not be back there for around a decade or longer since I live in America and I know it will be a really expensive flight.
There are things you can do to avoid the crowds, such as visiting certain times of year and avoiding weekends. It’s a very popular resort but don’t let that put you off coming!
@@8bitthemepark Going by one of your previous videos, I still think April 2028 would be a great time to go. I went to Disneyland in September 2021 and had an amazing trip!
Hello there! I'm looking to travel solo and visit DisneySea. I'm looking for rooming suggestions outside of the park, do you have a video or info on that? Also do you suggest November for this year? Thanks so much for your insight!
Hate to break it to you but November is real busy. You'll either catch the end of Halloween or the start of Christmas, so expect crowds and arrive early. As for hotels I can't say much. I like the mystays on a budget as it's a short walk from DisneySea, but sometimes it's almost as expensive as the Sheraton or something. If you have the money go for Miracosta or Disneyland hotel. Depends on your budget buddy. Hope that's helpful!
I was at TokyoSea in March 2024. We went on a Wednesday, we waited over two hours to get on the Indiana Jones ride. Crowd numbers are insane here. I'd avoid.
I'm planning a vacation sometime in 2030 (which seems super far off but it's only about 6 years out, and vacations take awhile to save for.) I suspect the crowds should have died down by then. Hopefully. 😂
I hope so 😂. I suspect the big crowds will be heading to a big new Star Wars land behind a revamped Tomorrowland by then!
Booked the hotel and the day-pass, so exited!!!!!!
ME TOO!! 🥳🎉
I'm heading to Tokyo in late October for 5 days. Are Mon-Friday weekdays significantly less crowded the weekends?
Honestly recently it’s a bit weird, because weekend tickets are more expensive a lot of local guests have begun to prefer weekdays, so they’re getting more and more crowded. If it’s late October everyday is gonna be busy as Halloween is super popular and it’s only running for 1 month this year.
So just get there early, get DPA and priority pass (I have a guide on my channel which will help you!) and embrace the crowds. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time!
um its the exact opposite weekdays are even more packed than weekends or depending of ticket prices and operating hours
@@brentlyaquinocanoza maybe I worded it weirdly, this is what I was saying haha!
LOCKED IN... hooray, ill be at the FS hotel late sept with the nori-hodai pass. damn, it was tense to get into the site and reserve it.
Congratulations!!! UNLIMITED QUEUE SKIPPING FOR EVERY RIDE it’s gonna be so good. Have an amazing time!!!
We’re heading there at the end of February. Have the crowds been higher pre-Fantasy Springs opening?
Crowds are pretty good right now. As long as you avoid the weekend it should be ok. I hope you have a great time!!
So basically, I wouldn’t be able to walk around Fantasy Springs even if I’m not trying to go on any of the rides? Oh geez….
Im landing in Japan on May 31st, do you know how many media days there are before the 6th? I’m crossing my fingers that the days leading up to the opening would be emptier, as some guests might not be willing to spend money on the parks prior to the FS opening.I would love to avoid the crowds as much as possible especially since entering FS wouldn’t be guaranteed
Days before it opens will definitely be better than the days after! No idea about media days OLC are a very tight-lipped company.
I hope you have an amazing time!
Do you think it's going to be so crowded on November on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday??
Yeah early November will be the end of the Halloween event and mid-late November will be the start of the Christmas event so it’ll be super busy. Be sure to arrive early! Have a great time!
I wish they just sold tickets for $500 so I dont have to worry about crowd
Was that footage from Christmas though? Christmas is always going to be crazy. My worry is that people will wait for October for nicer weather (and Halloween) instead of going when Fantasy Springs opens. I really don't want to wait another year for our trip :'(
It was Christmas yeah, but my point is if that’s how crowded it is for an old parade returning and a few decorations, imagine how busy it’ll be for the biggest Disney parks expansion of all time??
@@8bitthemepark yeah, I'm pretty scared. But I think it's more that it's a holiday and people want to do something special for a holiday. I bet they could have all the rides down and people would show up! haha! maybe I shouldn't give them ideas....
@@AestheticAmbienceTV Yes please don’t, they already slashed entertainment when they realised people would still come without it 😅
I thought the opening of Shanghai Disneyland’s Zootopia was busy, but that Xmas parade is something else!
How long do you think it will take for the crowds to die down? Should I thinking of a trip in 2025? 2026?
Beauty and the Beast is 4 years old but had a 3 hour wait today, a windy Wednesday in February, so probably… never? 😅
@@8bitthemepark last time we went we had a holiday package, we’ll do that again then.
@@TobiasBroad Definitely worth it, I don’t see the magic passport hanging around but if it does the vacation package will be worth every penny!
Ok so I’m a coaster enthusiast going on a trip to Japan in June. I will be going to Tokyo Disney on I think the 14th and 15th but do you think the main park and the parts of Disneysea that’s not part of fantasy springs will be fine? Or will everything be absurdly crowded with no workaround. Been wanting to go here all my life and I really don’t want to cancel my trip so I’m really conflicted 😭
Just go and have a great time!! Expect crowds, but if you arrive early, have the app installed and know what you’re doing you’ll be fine.
Other parts of the park will probably be slightly more busy but it’s always a busy resort there’s no getting around that.
Have an amazing time!!
This already giving me the same stress as booking my dining options for wdw... I am going in november this year. And I want to try to get into the fantasy springs hotel.. But do you know how many months in advance you can book the hotel? I see 4 or 5 months.. Just wanna make sure to get our date ready to be online to book xd
Right now there are specific days when dates become available, keep checking the official website, they’ll post it there (in English)
Will I still be able to get into the parks? I'm going to Tokyo Disney September 1st and 2nd of this year (tickets haven't been booked yet because I don't think they're available yet, if I'm wrong please lmk!). I didn't know about Fantasy Springs and don't really care as it's my first time to Japan in general. I just want to be able to get into the parks and experience them as best I can...
Tickets are available 2 months previous, if you’re not fussed about Fantasy Springs you’ll get in and have a great time. Use jet lag to your advantage and wake up bright and early. Have fun!
I’ve just booked my ticket to Japan. I would love to visit this park but this is really concerning. I don’t want to waste a day waiting in a queue 🥲
You should totally go. If you’re happy to just experience the park the way it is now you’ll have a great time. This video was mostly to warn people about going if they just want to see the expansion.
I hope you have a great time!
Man, I went to the parks January this year and was planning on going back around the same time next year, any chance they’ll open it up properly by then? Or will we still be having to fight to get in?
No idea but I suspect it’ll still be like this. Still, January is probably the best time you could come. The craziness should have died down a little bit and Jan is always the least crowded time of the year. I’d give it a go!
You can only buy the DPA the moment the park opens right or days before?
As soon as you scan your ticket and get into the park you can get DPA, which is why people will be arriving super early!
We have a reservation at the Mira Costa hotel on June 6, I don’t want to go on the second day the park opens, but does it really matter if the it’s the second day or the 10th day? LOL. Hoping to be able to get in 15 minutes early will help me get the premier access
It probably will! I think the 15 minutes early will basically guarantee you a standby pass and DPA if you want to buy one. Good luck!
Will you be doing a live stream on 6/6? Can’t wait to see your video!
@@joyc4635 Unfortunately live streaming is not allowed at TDR, but I’ll get a vlog up as quickly as possible!
Splash Mountain: Kill me
I have a packaged booked for 2 n8ghts at the new hotel with the pass that you mentioned. I figured when i read it that i will be able to skip the lines... but you are telling me that i can skip them endlessly??
YEP
HAVE FUN!!!
I’m so happy for you and totally not jealous at all 😂😂😂
Im planning on going to Disney sea on July 17th (Wednesday) do you think theres a chance that i could enter Fantasy springs with a standby pass? Im probably gonna enter the park at 1PM after school 😭
No chance, sorry!! Just enjoy the rest of the park, you’ll have a blast! 🌋
Is this the only Disney park that guests might not get to enter the land unless they buy a pass? Seems a bit strange 😢
Yep! There are a lot of things that are done differently here, and to be fair we’ve never had an expansion as substantial as this one so there’s no precedent. I’m hoping the large capacity of 4 rides will make up for the demand but there are definitely gonna be people who won’t get in.
i love see tokyo disney one day. can’t afford go. never been outside usa .
I hope you can come one day!
Damn i'm going to cancel my plan then.
To be honest I’d wait a month and see what it’s like when it opens. This video is my speculation, we still don’t know how many Standby Passes will be available, it might be easier to get in than I think. Stay tuned as I’ll be talking all about it 👍
I am going in November/December
You must be so excited!! I hope you have fun!
how are crowds second week of December, weekdays?
December is crazy. Christmas is the most popular event of the year. Get there early, anticipate queues for EVERYTHING (including food and even toilets) and try to take it easy. The Christmas parade is sweet and there’s a lot to enjoy, but you’re going at the busiest time of year.
oh dear, what's "early"? 😂
Well, 2025?
I want go towards the end of may for like 2 weeks will it be alright you think? or just terrible sigh
If you avoid weekends it shouldn’t be too crowded. Have a great time!!
When is the Fantasy Land opening for public?
Fantasy Springs opens June 6th :)
do you think it will be easier to get in by March 2025?
I’m hoping so! I think January will be when we start to see crowds get lower as that’s usually a quiet time of year for the Tokyo Disney parks
@@8bitthemepark thank you
will april be busy?
April is normally one of the best times of year to come! People start new jobs and the new school year so they tend not to go to Disney, and the weather is ideal!
I'd rather give Disney a miss, way too complicated now to enjoy a day at the parks..
i was thinking the same thing
We were thinking about going October 2024 and I was already fearing it would be very difficult but not THAT difficult 😅 We were there on October 2012 and the lines were crazy on a week day...I didn't had as much fun as expected because of that 🥲
Would you say October is a bad month to go? (fantasy springs aside)
Honestly? Yeah I think so. Fantasy Springs will still be fresh, and Tokyo Disneyland just announced a new nighttime castle show starting in September, and a shortened Halloween event in October. Halloween is already very popular so I think combined with the short length and the new castle show it’ll be very busy.
So when can we buy tickets to Disney sea?
Two months previous
obviously the real time to visit TDR is in 2027 😆
When the new Space Mountain opens? The parks will be packed! Best to wait for 2030 😉🤣
Yeah definitely not going this year, let the excitement die down a bit and will plan a trip in 2025.
Probably wise!
So I'd argue it is worth going to, just don't go to the new attractions and instead visit the other parks where it'll most likely be dead.
Perhaps so! Although everyone who tried to get into Fantasy Springs but failed will be in the rest of the park, along with everyone who’s Fantasy Springs time is later in the day
Im living in Japan right now and I really want to goooo I might get the expensive one to get on everything
Good luck! I wanna get the hotel package too but considering there was a 6 hour online queue recently for Duffy merch I’m not hopeful 😅
@@8bitthemeparkaaaa could you make a vidio on how to get the hotel pass? I’m kinda lost
@@sofiareyes2949 Once you’ve booked the Fantasy Springs Hotel it’ll become available, starting tomorrow!
So if my Alexa did the math correctly, the pass that give you unlimited access to the hot new rides is about $155 dollars. Assuming that includes entrance to the entire park, why wouldn't anyone do that for one day?? Esp if you avoid the insane crowds up front. The price gouging at WDW is far worse than that, and has the unbearable Genie+ which requires you spend your magical day with you nose buried in you cell phone rather than immersed in Disney Magic. I would pay for that day pass in a HEARTBEAT over the mess at WDW!!! Some things are worth saving up for & doing right.
Now granted, the price of the hotel is the bigger OUCH to me. But if you go with a few friends and split it, I think it's worth it (at the cheaper one) for a day or two. If you are a family, more saving LOL BTW if the usual price is half of that $155, you guys are cheaper to get into compared to US Disney's. (Prices here range from a little over $100 to $200). Hope you realize how good you have it!! PS anyone doesn't speak US dollars you can do what I just did and put your Alexa to work. Wonder if she has another name there?! lol Tokyo Disney, along w/that Country, is a bucket list item that I'm getting scared I won't make BTW. (Had MAJOR surgery on my leg which has messed up my mobility....it's hard to get all my errands done, let along travel to the other side of the world SIGH) Enjoy for me!
Thanks friend! Yea it’s fantastic value and frankly ridiculous. To answer your rhetorical ‘why not’ question: because they’re going to be IMPOSSIBLE to book for like.. 3 years?
TDR does also have the nose-in-your-phone problem, it’s really unfortunate. I miss just walking through the entrance and taking it all in, now it’s a mad scramble to do 10 things on the app as quickly as possible.
I hope you can make it over here! TDR and Japan as a whole are definitely worth seeing, even if it’s costly.
Hope your leg recovers quickly buddy
I'm sure those pictures don't happen every day
No they don’t, but they will happen everyday this year after the new area opens I guarantee it.
What about January 2025?
January is normally a great time to visit, I’m sure Fantasy Springs will still be crazy popular, but the parks will be at their most manageable. Excellent time to come!
can I stay with you though
No frozen oh ok no Disneyland, Tokyo.
