Tokyo Sea Disney Guide (Quick Guide Route Recommended Showtimes)

Tokyo Disney will have two parks. Today, the editor wants to tell you about Ocean Disney, but other strategies are basically the same, except for the accident of playing items. Let's take a look at the specific event information with the editor. Friends who want to play should not miss it.

DisneySea Preparations

Avoid wasting time!

Before deciding on a day to go to DisneySea, it is recommended to start during the busier times at Chicken Park. Although there are no free periods at Tokyo Disney all year round, there are even admission restrictions during peak seasons. Avoiding these peak seasons as much as possible can take your travel experience to several levels.

The average waiting time in previous years, green is the sea.

Generally speaking, there are the following special busy periods with restricted entry:

August:

It is summer vacation and a traditional holiday in Japan. There are various activities and crowds of people will come from all directions and last for more than a month.

November:

In November, Disney will usher in Halloween and Christmas, which can be said to be the season with the most people in Disneyland. Whether it’s a holiday or a working day, the number of people is terrifying.

February~March:

March is particularly scary. It's spring break in Japan. Disney issues student discount packages every year. There are many activities for graduates in spring and limited souvenirs, so the number of tourists explodes at the end of February and reaches a climax at the end of March.

The busiest period must be Japan’s “ten consecutive holidays” on May Day. The 7-9 days after the ten-day break, as well as the non-rest days in May and June, are better choices.

Purchase admission ticket.

Friends who have booked a package with the hotel will not be considered for the time being. Take the one-day pass for example. There are three types of Disney one-day tickets: one-day tickets, advance tickets (specified date) and advance tickets (unspecified date).

It is strongly recommended that you choose to book, you can save a lot of time! Advance tickets for unspecified dates may be rejected if they fall on a date that limits the number of people entering the park, so it is recommended to confirm the date in advance and purchase advance tickets for the specified date.

Advance tickets will be sold 2 months in advance and can be reserved on the website or using the official Disney app. However, these channels require payment with a credit card in my own name, and are recognized in Japan. They are not very friendly to overseas tourists, but there are many online agencies that can help you conveniently.

If the tickets purchased online can be printed directly and stuffed into a small folder like this, this QR code is not only an admission voucher, but can also be used when picking up a Fast Pass (FP).

Another way is to buy it at a convenience store. Through the convenience store's automatic coupon issuing machine (or printer in the case of 711), you can print a receipt and pay at the cashier.

Japanese convenience stores that can sell Disney tickets are as follows:

711 Convenience Store

Lawson

FamilyMart

Sunkus

Tickets printed at convenience stores now also have QR codes, which can be scanned directly in the park to obtain FP.

In addition, starting from February this year, you can directly log in to the official website or purchase tickets through the APP to choose electronic tickets. The QR code is displayed directly on the mobile phone, and you can directly scan the mobile phone when entering the park to receive FP.

The advantage of this is that you don’t have to carry the ticket everywhere, but it will be a tragedy if the phone battery runs out!

Download the official Disney APP.

If you want to play Disney, it is recommended to download the official APP! Because it’s really useful!

Through this APP, you can check the waiting time of various attractions, book restaurants or hotels in the park, participate in the lottery of performance tickets, and more importantly, it is a portable map. ! With the APP, you can confirm your location at any time, and you don’t have to worry about taking wrong turns when visiting the park~

Comprehensive explanation of the park facilities

Okay! Now that we’re ready and we’ve bought our tickets, let’s walk through the gates of DisneySea!

Go through the alley from DisneySea Plaza and face the large volcano (below the words "Mediterranean Port" in the picture above). Here you can choose the order of your visits, clockwise or counterclockwise?

Clockwise route

Going clockwise, the first place you come to is the coastal area of ??the United States.

There are two extremely popular projects on the American coast - the God Tower and the Toy Story Crazy Playhouse. These two can be regarded as re

So, if your goal in coming to DisneySea is to dominate the super popular large-scale projects here, then start here!

For these two projects, according to the utilization time of FP, you can receive one FP first, and then queue up to receive the other one.

Probably one of the most thrilling rides in the entire DisneySea! Take the elevator to the top floor of the haunted hotel, but who knew the elevator was... (It is a project similar to a jumping machine)

Tourists under 102cm tall are not allowed to ride.

Tourists who cannot sit on their own are not allowed to ride.

Tourists with high blood pressure, heart disease, cervical spine discomfort, motion sickness, seasickness, and those whose condition may be aggravated by riding on amusement facilities are not allowed to ride.

Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.

Please do not bring old tourists.

Toy Story Crazy Game House

Put on 3D glasses, ride on the chariot, and challenge exciting shooting games with Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

There is no height limit, children can also have fun!

Passengers who cannot sit by themselves are not allowed to ride.

When you come to Port Discovery, it is recommended to collect the FP for the 'Nemo's and Friends' Sea World project first, because the FP for this facility is usually issued early.

Finding Nemo - the ocean world of Finding Nemo and friends

This is an interactive facility. You can take a submarine to enter the underwater world, and the rich five-sense experience will give you surprise gifts.

Tourists under 90cm tall are not allowed to ride.

Tourists who cannot sit on their own are not allowed to ride.

Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.

Lost River Delta has two highly recommended facilities, which are also very exciting! These two items will also be released in FP in the afternoon.

Jones - The Magic Palace of the Crystal Skull, Indiana

The adventure with the Raiders of the Lost Ark, being chased by the angry Crystal Skull, the patron saint of the Magic Palace, is a very thrilling journey!

Tourists under 117cm tall are not allowed to ride.

Tourists who cannot sit on their own are not allowed to ride.

Tourists with high blood pressure, heart disease, cervical spine discomfort, motion sickness, seasickness, and those whose condition may be aggravated by riding on amusement facilities are not allowed to ride.

Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.

Please do not bring old tourists.

The Angry Gods

Counter-clockwise route

The counter-clockwise route is more suitable for children of all ages who want to have close contact with Disney characters!

You can see Ariel the little mermaid in Mermaid Lagoon, and then you can see Mickey and his friends in Lost River Delta.

Mickey and Friends’ Welcome Trail and Welcome Pier are located in the Lost River Delta. Although there is no FP, the waiting time is usually not too long, about 1 hour.

The Mermaid Lagoon and the Arabian Coast also have many cute and safe facilities suitable for children to play. Parents who bring their children to play here recommend the counterclockwise route!

Finally, there is the Mysterious Island area in the middle, which also has two attractive large-scale projects.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

The children in this project are also okay! If the baby cannot sit still on its own, parents should hold it.

Take a small submarine to the bottom of the sea and enjoy the wonders of Atlantis sleeping under the sea. There will be some thrilling "trouble" in the middle, but it will be solved quickly~

The queue time for this project is generally not very long, so you can queue directly to play without wasting FP.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

The journey to the center of the earth in the dark passage, and the expedition vehicle that will suddenly speed up along the way, make the process exciting. This is a fun project, so don't miss it!

Tourists under 117cm tall are not allowed to ride.

Tourists who cannot sit on their own are not allowed to ride.

Tourists with high blood pressure, heart disease, cervical spine discomfort, motion sickness, seasickness, and those whose condition may be aggravated by riding on amusement facilities are not allowed to ride.

Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.

Please do not bring old tourists.

Make good use of Express Passes

ExpressPass (FP) is the essence of enjoying Disneyland with maximum efficiency.

Being good at FP can save you more waiting time than others.

Let’s meet FP first

There are two rules for receiving FP.

The 2-hour rule: After receiving the FP of a certain project, if you want to receive the FP of other projects, you have to wait 2 hours. For example, you can get the FP of the Frightened Ancient Tower at 10:00, but you can only get the FP of the Angry Gods at 12:00 at the earliest.

In fact, the 2-hour rule is not dead yet! !Subject to change depending on admission time and number of people. When I first entered the park, the next trip might take 40 minutes. So check the time written on the FP in your hand!

Usage time regulations: After receiving FP for a certain project, if you want to receive FP for the same project again, you need to wait until the current FP usage time arrives. For example, if the utilization time of the current FP is from 11:00 to 12:00, the FP of the current project can be collected again after 11:00 at the earliest.

Typically, you can wait in line for 60 minutes. If you have FP, you can play in 5 to 10 minutes. As I strutted my way to the front of the line, I felt great!

Where to collect FP

Get FP for free. If you look around facilities where FP can be collected, you can find FP issuing offices like this:

Scan the QR code on your phone or the ticket on the small opening of the machine to get your FP ticket. The FP ticket issuing machines of each facility vary in length to match the facility and surrounding environment. Very interesting!

Items that can use FP in DisneySea

The Ancient Tower of Terror, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mermaid Lagoon Theater, Two Furious Gods, Toy Story Crazy Playhouse, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, God Lamp Theater, Raiders of the Lost Ark - Magic Palace of the Crystal Skull, Finding Nemo - Sea World of Friends.

Practical skills in family planning

The advice for Disney slickers is, no matter what time, get FP first and then queue up!

This is because it takes 2 hours to receive the next FP. While queuing, these 2 hours passed! Maybe you can get the next FP after completing the current project~

You can see this time display at every FP voucher issuance point. If you install the APP, you can see the waiting time and FP time of all projects in the park and make more reasonable plans. And now you can get FP through the APP, which saves you the time of queuing in front of the coupon issuing machine, and the efficiency has been improved to another level~~

I also remind everyone that if you wait less than 30 minutes for items, you should still queue up. Bar! It's not cost-effective to waste FP on this every 2 hours!

Attention to use

There is nothing special to pay attention to when using FP. As long as it is within the time specified above (usually 1 hour), you can go at any time, and there is no need to rush. Wait until the time comes. There is a dedicated FP entrance where staff will wait for you. However, it should be noted that once the DisneySea show is over, there will be a large flow of people and the entrance and exit will become mixed. If you are far away from the facility at this time, the time on the road will be delayed, resulting in a delay. So, take a certain amount in advance!

DisneySea’s Show

Disney’s Show is not a sideshow, it is an important part of the park! Very few people coming to Disney would skip this show.

Here are some of the top shows at DisneySea!

Disney’s colorful night sky

This is a new project in March 2008, there is a Disney fireworks show every night! Although it only takes 5 minutes, it is as magnificent as a dream.

You don’t need a seat. You can watch it in the park. The opening hours in April are basically 20:30-20:40, and the schedule for the next month will be announced on the official website every month.

Visitors who choose a suitable seat are required to participate in a lottery.

You can draw lots directly using the APP! If you are lucky enough to be elected, you can watch the show from a good spot on the first floor without having to queue. If you don't win, you have to queue up to enter.

The lottery schedule and performance time can be viewed here

Dynamic Orchestra

Broadway Musical Theater/About 30 minutes

Font When you come Disney, you have to do as the Romans do and buy yourself some special "Disney" clothing. There are different souvenirs here every season every year, which is one of the reasons why many Disney fans want to live in the park~

You can say 5,000 words about Disney peripheral souvenirs, but our main purpose is not to give It’s a cute little thing about Amway Disney, but it tells you how to buy everything you want while playing more efficiently!

Make the most of your wait time for shows.

Speaking of previous performances, there was a waiting time, especially before watching the park’s main light show, which needed to be occupied at least an hour in advance. This is the best time to shop.

At Disney, you can’t fill a space with items, but it’s perfectly fine as long as there are people there. As long as you are not alone, you can go shopping separately, with some people taking up space and others taking turns shopping. This is the most time-saving method!

In Disneyland, there are shops in every area, including the largest store "EmpolioMall", the largest candy store "Lover's Dessert", the Disney Mall specializing in Duffy series, the largest clothing store "Figaro" "Clothing stores" are concentrated in the "Mediterranean Harbor" area where the show is located, so shopping is super convenient~

Pick up your APP!

Another powerful function in the Disney official APP is the purchase of souvenirs. Souvenirs sold in all stores in the park can be found in the APP online store.

You can search for the product you want or the nearest store. You can use the APP to shop and request delivery before 23:30 on the day of admission.

The advantages of using the APP for shopping are: first, you don’t have to queue up to check out; second, you don’t have to carry a big bag home; third, you can also confirm the inventory of goods and see if they are out of stock at a glance. Friends who want to see it with their own eyes can also scan the barcode in the store and record it in the APP mall. Finally, use the APP to check out, then mail it to the hotel or B&B, and then go back and wait easily~
