    Hi! Thanks a lot for the tips, it worked for me and my girlfriend today! (May 10th 2023).
    I'd like to share my experience since it was slightly different, in case it can help others! I will also post this comment on your other (shorter) video, hope this is ok!
    1) a bit of context about our trip, since it is important for the following: it was planned last minute to have affordable flight tickets (long story short), so I bought the entry tickets for the park a bit more than two weeks before the selected date. We chose a Wednesday, just after the Golden Week so we got the lowest price for the entry ticket (8600¥). At that point, there were still some express passes available for that day starting from about 14000¥, but we decided not to take them.
    2) I was able to register our entry tickets the day before in my hotel (I tested right when I bought them without success, but not since then so not sure when it starts). The day we visited, the official opening hour was 9:30. For some unrelated reasons, we were staying in Nagoya, about 1h45 from the park. It was physically impossible for us to get to the park before 8am (unless we took the first nozomi shinkansen, but it is not included in the JR pass so it would have cost us about 6500¥ per person to arrive at 7:44).
    Hence we arrived at the earliest possible time, 8:01, which I thought should be ok.
    When we got there, there was already quite a lot of people, but nothing really scary, we were just past the tickets boothsq. However I noticed there was a separate queue for people with early access tickets (that you can get essentially by staying in a hotel affiliated with the park).
    I got a bit scared since I thought they might finally have decided that early access should only be for these people (which in a way would make sense).
    At 8:30, they opened the gates for people with an early access ticket.
    At 8h45, to my great relief, they opened the gates for us.
    We then rushed for Nintendo World, got there by 9am and could enter without any problem.
    They started asking for area timed tickets from 10am, so there was a good time window.
    By the way, please do not run. First it is forbidden and staff will stop you if they see you (but they cannot check everybody). Second, it is not necessary, there is plenty of time (+ as I'll tell later there is a good chance you can get an area ticket anyway). Third, it is actually dangerous: there are a lot of people, among them a lot of kids and we actually saw a young boy getting bumped by two guys that did not even look back.
    So walk fast, sure, but do not run. You're just wasting your energy and bothering everybody, in the worst case it could even impact the park rules, as Japanese tend to do sometimes (e.g. the sgaff pf super potato in Akihabara is a lot less friendly with foreigners now, because of the behaviors of some disrespectful people).
    So, I'm not sure if this is a new way of doing this, or if arriving at 7:30 allows you to enter the early access queue without a ticket, but if you arrive 1 hour and a half before the opening, it should be fine anyway, you just won't be the first people in the park. All this being said, it was one of the least crowded day so I would arrive earlier than we did on a more busy day.
    3) about the area entry tickets, they do not run out of stock as fast as I thought (on a not crowded day). At 10am, I checked and could have secured an area ticket for 10am without any problem. I checked again at about 13:30 while queuing and could reserve a ticket for several time windows from 14:00 to 15:00. So in case you cannot enter, it should still be fine to get in, I was not looking frantically and git lots of opportunities. Since once you leave the area you cannot reenter without ticket, it is possible if you enter before the restruction to save a ticket for later,in case you leave and realize you forgot something. Note that you can only reserve one area ticket per day, so it works only once. Yet, I would advise not doing so as this might prevent someone who never got in to have this chance, so be mindful and try to leave only when you're sure (or take a very late entry, just for shopping for example).
    To give you an idea of the time it takes, we were in Nintendo from 9am to 5pm, taking our time, doing both rides twice, eating at the restaurant and doing eveything else, including photos with Mario & cie, we left deeply satisfied and still got 2h to try the rest of the park (closing time was 7pm).
    4) About the rides: once inside, we went for a power-up band (for those interested, they released a limited edition Gold Mario band on March 2023 for the second anniversary of Nintendo World, as of May 10th 2023, they are still available but are not doing anything more than the regular bands, as far as I know).
    Then we rushed for Mario Kart and were allowed (actually asked) to take the fast access lane since they were not checking yet for express pass so we got the ride really fast. Being together in the ride only makes sense if you are 3 or 4 for the team score, so I would advise to use the single rider lane for a second, or a third ride, it really speeds up things (but you miss the nice items displayed on the regular lane). Also, make sure you press the power band several time on the kart to be sure it connects. Since it is not super clear when and if it did it properly, my girlfriend was actually not connected on her first ride although she seemed to do it correctly. In general, although it works pretty well most of the time, the band is sometimes not recognised and it gets frustrating when it happens in Mario Kart since you don't receive the coins etc (for the other interactions in the park, you can simply try again or ask nicely the staff, they are super super friendly, even more if you can speak japanese but don'tbe afraid if you don't).
    Then we went for Yoshi, the waiting time was said to be 40 minutes but we only waited for 20 minutes or so. The same happened the second time we did it as well.
    In general, it seems that Mario Kart is more crowded than Yoshi, especially since the waiting time seems overestimated.
    For the restaurant (Kinopio cafe), it might be a good idea to get there early. We went at 10:50, received a ticket to come back between 11:15 and 11:30, went back at 11:15, ordered at 11:30 and started eating at 11:50. It might take more time if you go later, but i have the feeling their ticketing system works well. For the other food shops, the queue never seemed to long (maybe for the popcorns but we didn't take them). If you're in a rush, I woukd suggest the koopa shell calzone at the Yoshi cafe, it's fast, "cheap", tasty and fills the belly enough.
    The little games involving the power band have little queues but it never takes more than a few minutes to get to play them and they are quite entertaining (some more than others).
    Finally, for the photos, if you really want to do them, I'd suggest to do Mario and Luigi either directly when you get there in the morning or when you see that some people leave the queue when they do a break. Otherwise, it can take easily 40 minutes. Peach takes 10-15 minutes and Toad (Kinopio) is in "free access", you just need to wave at him and call him.
    5) as I said, we didn't see much of the rest of the park since it was not our main goal, but I still have some insights because it is actually a pretty great ressort besides Nintendo: the Harry Potter part is really cool, the Forbidden Journey is amazing, and the Hyppogriff ride is quite cool for a "soft" roller coaster (but is not worth 75 minutes of queuing).
    We wanted to do the Minions ride, but we couldn't due to bad judgment: we tought (and the queing times on the app conforted us) that the Harry Potter rides would be more crowded than the Minions, and it was closer to Nintendo so we went there first. What actually happened is that the times in HP halved, while the Minions doubled. At 6pm, the Minion was 55 minutes (and we arrived to late, they closed at 18:05), while Forbidden Journey dropped to 15 minutes, and Hyppogriff to 25 (which is much more reasonable for this ride). They were even allowing access to Forbidden journey at 18:50 when we got off the Hippogriff. So, can't be 100% sure it is a constant but keep this in mind.
    Also, it seems that if you have an express pass you can still enter if the ride is closed, I saw some people enter the Minions that way after we were turned down. Also, if staff see you rushing towards the ride as they are closing, there is a good chance they will let you in if you ask nicely (but onge it's closed, it's closed).
    Here it is, sorry for the very long message, hope it helps anyone!

      got into super Nintendo world around 9:30am, went around 2 hours before the the official publish opening time, ended up opening around 1.5 hours earlier. actually didn't know about the reserved ride tickets.

    • @KenshoQuest
      @KenshoQuest  10 месяцев назад

      Hi. Since you are traveling as a family, it is best to purchase all of your Express Passes together at the same time. If you purchase through Klook, they will randomly assign time slots. If you would rather choose your times, and make sure they are all the same, I recommend purchasing the Express Passes directly through the USJ website: www.usj.co.jp/web/en/us/tickets/express-pass#HowtoBuy The Studio Passes can be purchased separately through either website. 🌺 Heidi

      If you buy Express Passes directly from USJ, you can choose the times for the areas and attractions when you are purchasing the passes. If you buy Express Passes from Klook, the times will be written on the voucher that Klook emails to you. Does that make sense?@@RobertoDemant-wd1fd

We didn’t visit Harry Potter, but the day we were there it was a bit later in the day that they implemented Area Timed Entry for Harry Potter. It just depends how crowded it is. You can use the USJ app on your phone to reserve an Area Timed Entry into Harry Potter.

      Yes, we also went straight onto the rides. Just visited again on Tuesday and it worked getting in line at 7:30am and speed walking straight into SNW.

So as the summer progresses and it gets more crowded, arriving even earlier might be a good idea.
