Everything I Wish I Knew Before Tokyo Disney's Fantasy Springs 

Did you have Happy 15 or were you staying elsewhere? And how early are they letting people in now? And can you hold a Premier Pass and a standby Pass for an attraction in the new Ports at the same time? I've been really curious about the latter.

We were staying elsewhere and we lined up about 2 hours before the listed 9AM opening time. They started letting people in at around 8:15 and we got our tickets scanned about 20-30 minutes after that. I’m actually not sure if you can hold premium and standby passes for Fantasy Springs at the same time because I never saw a time where both were available.

I also just came back and no one talks about this!!! I was under the same impression and even asked some Disney vloggers who all said once you’re in you can get in the standby line for the other rides. THAT IS NOT TRUE. We spent HOURS on the app refreshing constantly to get either a standby or premier pass to the other attractions. HUGE FYI for anyone going that is not discussed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those details are just JAW DROPPING! I can’t get over it!

It truly is 😭💖

Sounds amazing. May I ask how hotel pricing compares to Disney World?

@@lou4057The yen is down right now, but it was about $121. …for something thats basically a deluxe Disney resort. They have complimentary shuttles that run every couple of minutes. One goes straight to Disneyland, another, the main train station at Ikspiari (their downtown Disney) and to the Bay Side Station, which is the monorail loop. The station is so close that we always walked to it on the way there. The bus literally just drops you off across the street from the hotel, which seems a bit silly, but it’s there. The station is also next to the new Fantasy Springs hotel, so you get to check out the exterior. Also, since the monorail runs clockwise, it’s almost empty in the morning. Due to its design, you can sit right up front, and see everything! All the magic that WDW used to have is truly here. The rumors were true! If it weren’t so expensive to fly, we’d go annually from now on! That’s the biggest problem. It’s such a hassle simply getting there, that unlike domestic Disney, you want to stay two weeks, so you’re paying two weeks of hotel, food, and such. So it ends up being more expensive in the long run, but you do get your moneys worth, unlike with domestic Disney.

WooHOO!!!!! Good luck!

I have the EXACT same question

Check out TDR Explorer! He has lots of resources and info

Of course!

Watch videos from TDR Explorer. He says that mobile order alone doesn't get you in to Fantasy Springs, you have to have a ride reserved (either paid or free Standby) to enter.

rainy season in June... so its gamble. That explains the crowd levels when AJ was there.

do three nights minimum, sea land sea

The wait time for standby ranges from 15 to 45 minutes on average. It can sometimes dip to 5 minutes or rise to 1 hour, but that's rare.

You’ll have to let us know what you think!

if you go later in nov when it'll be the christmas decor and they will have specialized christmas characters, outfits . last year was micky mouse gnome

Exactly one hour window from reservation time. No earlier or later.

Well , it’s not " connected " with the main DisneySea but the stories of the theme areas are surrounded by sea !

@@PauloSiqueiraJunior-yi9ky I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Your biggest expense will likely be the flights, so my best advice is to look into the cheapest seasons to fly -- I believe late fall is still one of the cheaper times to fly to Japan from the US. Also, look into which US airports may have the cheapest flights. Unless you're lucky enough to be near an airport with more direct flights, you'll likely be flying to somewhere else in the US to catch that international flight; if you're flexible you might be able to find some cheaper options. After that, think about whether you want to be at one of the official Disney hotels. There are several other hotels that are right along the monorail line so they're just as convenient and often significantly cheaper. A few of our team have stayed at the Sheraton by Tokyo Disney and really enjoyed it.

Really great! not nearly as busy as during the vacation seasons. It also gets dark much earlier, and the park looks gorgeous in the dark!

There are different kinds of packages. some are "Japanese" packages where you need an address from within Japan and all documents are in Japanese. Then there are the others geared toward international tourist with English paperwork and will accept addresses and other info from outside of Japan. As for payment. We didn't have any problems with Visa or American Express cards. We found on our trip to really pay attention to signage on what type of cards you can use. A lot of places would only take just visa, just mastercard ect. and cash obviously. I hope this helps and I hope you can get what your looking for. Something to note, at lest for us, we couldn't select packages till a few months out and they open up at the beginning of the month. So if your looking for April 2025 you may not be able to get anything till December. Disney is always updating though so continue to check in every once in a while.

it will be in the Tokyo Disney app, you can book them as soon as you get into the park for the day

@@DFBGuide Ok thanks!

Happy Birthday! Fun fact: Walt Disney World is the only Disney park that has "Walt" in it. There are no "Walt" Disneylands!

Thank you. Thank you for that tip. I didn't know that. I've heard SOOOOOOOO many people call it Walt Disneyland
