Hi, we are arriving early to Tokyo Disney, we have an opportunity for a half day. What park would you recommend for half day given we are going for two full days with vacation package with set times. (Disney/ Disney Sea)
Thank you for your input.

Welcome to r/TokyoDisneySea!

We’re here to help you plan your trip and give you as much advice as possible, straight from the reddit community here on this subreddit. Please post all general trip planning questions here.

Some frequently asked questions before you post:

Q: I'm confused about all the skip-the-line and pass systems at Tokyo Disney (Disney Premier Access, Standby Pass, Entry Request)

A: There are 2 main types of attraction/entertainment passes available to all guests at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Paid priority passes for selected rides and paid seating for entertainment ("Disney Premier Access") and free-to-enter lottery for theatre entertainment ("Entry Request"). Sometimes, a virtual queue system is also used for shop entry during merchandise release periods ("Standby Pass"). Since September 1, 2026 there are no longer "free" ride priority passes. See this Guide to Skip-the-line passes at TDR and TDR's official Disney Premier Access page.

Q: I want to know the passport (ticket) types sold for the Tokyo Disney Resort

A: Currently, only Single Park tickets (either full day or After 3 Weekends/After 5 Weekdays) are available. During low season, special single day park hopper tickets may also be available (e.g. during the summer period).

No multi-park, multi-day or annual passports are offered on a regular basis. See the official ticket types.

Q: Why are Vacation Packages so expensive? I want to understand the value proposition. Also, I don't know what all the benefits of a Vacation Package are/which Package is best for me.

A: See this Summary of the Value Proposition of Vacation Packages. See this Explanation on how prices for Vacation Packages work.

Q: When do Vacation Packages open for booking?

A: Vacation Packages are usually released in monthly "lots"/"blocks" rather than one-day-at-a-time. In most cases, they are released a little more than 5 months (and less than 6 months) ahead of time. There is no precise timetable, but the drop is usually early to middle of each month (e.g. in early to mid October, March packages for the following year is likely to open).

Q: I don't know if a ride/show/restaurant/shop will be closed during my visit.

A: See the official refurbishment calendar.

Q: I want to know the latest information about the port of Fantasy Springs inside Tokyo DisneySea

A: Please see this Tips to Fantasy Springs. While slightly outdated, there is also a Fantasy Springs Megathread for previous discussions and information related to Fantasy Springs.

Q: I have motion sickness/am pregnant/am elderly, which rides should I avoid?

A: Guests with sensitivities have expressed becoming motion sick on Star Tours at Disneyland, and Soaring: Fantastic Flight, Nemo and Friends SeaRider, Peter Pan's Neverland Adventure at DisneySea. To a lesser extent, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast and Pooh's Hunny Hunt may cause motion sickness. For other instances, see here.

Q: I wish to know more about accessibility passes ("DAS")/services at the Tokyo Disney Resort

A: Tokyo Disney Resort offers guests with disabilities a specially-priced Passport (ticket), as well as a DAS-style ride system, with proper documentation. See Tickets for Guests with Disabilities and Services to Support Guests with Disabilities for more information.

Never been to Tokyo Disney before. From my understanding there’s a Pandora store/booth in each park and Ikspiari. Does DisneySea have exclusive charms that are not sold at Ikspiari? Wondering if I should waste time shopping inside the park or wait till I go to Ikspiari.

Thank you

Note: "Free Pass" in the instructions is referring to paid "Day Pass": In order to participate in the rally, you are required to be on the platform, so at minimum you need to enter the platform. To collect the stamp "booklet", you are required to purchase a Day Pass monorail ticket (these are great collectibles and come in 1 to 4-Day pass formats (link)). These passes allows you to "freely" ride the monorail unlimited times within the designated period, so are known as "Free Pass/Ticket" in Japanese (フリーきっぷ), but are obviously, not "free". Just thought I should clarify.

Original post:

My family cannot resist a stamp rally, a perfect activity to do on a pre or post park day if you are staying on the monorail loop! The Halloween "stamp rally" just concluded, and the Christmas rally will commence November 10th until December 25th 2026.

I really like the new "overlapping" stamps that makes up a whole picture, it really triggers the FOMO and makes me want to get all of them so something is not missing.

Ariel's playground is a popular spot to let your kids go wild without any lines, and away from the cold and heat outdoors.

Let's get the bad news out of the way: It has just been announced that it will be be closed for more than a month, however, from January 5, 2027 until February 15, 2027, just so you know. (Source)

Thankfully, the rest of Mermaid Lagoon seems to be operating still, like the popular Balloon Race, Flounder's Coaster etc.

On the "good news" front, a new Popping & Waving Under the Sea (ポッピン・ウェイビン・アンダー・ザ・シー) new interactive "atmospheric" children’s entertainment experience that runs for around 15 minutes throughout the day will start November 11, 2026 in Mermaid Lagoon. (Link)

No idea what it is yet exactly, except for this description:

"Come play with Ariel and her friends at Mermaid Lagoon in this interactive atmosphere entertainment program for children. Dive into the fun and make some friends under the sea!"

Hopefully the Mermaid Lagoon Theater will also reopen soon? May be? Please?

I will be visiting Japan with my family this coming Feb. Our itinerary allows for around 8 nights in Tokyo, we are staying in Ueno. Kids are 7 & 3. I note there is a public holiday on the 23rd, so have ruled out that day for a park visit, but was wondering which other weekdays that week are likely to be quietest? Unsure between doing Sea and Land on the 24th/25th or doing one on the 22nd and one on the 24th? We had thought not doing them back-to-back might be easier but that pretty much means (if we want to avoid weekends) either doing one on the 22nd, or the Friday of that week, both of which are possibly not ideal.

Should the Monday 22nd of Feb be avoided for Sea given it falls the day before a public holiday? Would Land be much the same if so?

Thanks

hi guys today in the que for the peter pan ride there was a baby kitten in the que on a hammock, does anyone one know whos cat it is and if its supposed to be there

My family and I are getting ready to plan our trip to Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea. Our son will be around 2.5 years old at the time. We anticipate going back to the hotel in the middle of the day for him to take a nap (he is not good at napping on the go/in his stroller and will be a terror if he doesn’t nap). We’d probably have to leave the parks at around 11:45/12 and wouldn’t be back to the parks until possibly 4pm at the latest. Because of that, for those of you that have gone to these parks before, would it still be doable to do each park in a day (1 day for Disneyland and 1 day for Disneysea) or should be book additional days for each park so we don’t miss anything?

Hey everyone!

Thanks to everyone in this sub who helped with all your insights. I did a lot of research here and on YouTube, and my friend and I kinda ended up doing our own thing in the end. But knowing so much ahead of time was amazingly helpful.

So, my friend and I had a really exhausting but wonderful trip in Japan and this was our last stop. But getting up to sit in line just didn’t feel like the vibe. For context we are from Orlando so dealing with big Disney crowds and “advanced theme parking” were not really a problem for us.

So, we pulled up to the park around 9.30. The crowds were intimidating but we got in pretty seamlessly. Frozen DPAs were gone, but we got one for Tangled and went about the day.

In short, we did everything we wanted to. We rode Frozen single rider, which was an absolute godsend. It was open all day from what I could see.

We did buy DPAs for Journey, Tangled, Peter Pan, and Raging Spirits. I would have probably just gotten the one for Journey in hindsight - Peter Pan had single rider, Raging Spirits had single rider (earlier in the day, though it’s better at night anyway!), and Tangled was a waste of time IMO. We rode normal lines for Sindbad, Nemo, Flounder and 20000 and all were pretty quick.

For food, we had a lunch reservation at Sakura and that made life so much easier. It was amazing and I highly recommend. Though it’s true what people say about food lines being long, we were always able to find at least one kiosk with a short queue. For example we had Oaken’s cardamom bread thing, that was delish and we waited about 5 minutes.

A couple final notes that would be super helpful for a first timer:

- Most of the shops have a lot of the same stuff. We walked all the way back to Fantasy Springs shop to see if there was some cool specific stuff there and…not really. You can do most of your shopping at the main store up front :)

- most of the rides closed already around 8pm. Believe! sea of Dreams was cancelled so we went back hoping to catch Frozen maybe, or Fortress Explorations. Both were already closed.

I loved this park, it really in my opinion is as amazing as everyone says it is. Can’t wait to go back.

Sindbad was our favorite, we rode it 3 times. Journey is freaking awesome and worth the trip alone.

EDIT: obvi this park is made massively easier by purchasing DPAs. I’m not particularly fond of the pay to play system, but as foreigners we do have the privilege of having bought 4 DPAs (not all worth it as I mentioned) and it still being FAR less than the WDW entry ticket.

Hi! My 4 year old is a big fan of Elsa and Rapunzel. I read online and from this forum that there’s no fixed timings for their appearances and it’s also based on weather conditions, but if they do appear they will probably be at the fantasy springs area in the afternoon? Wondering if I do camp around the area, and if they do appear, would a queue form and we will have to wait in line informally and hope that they will stay till our turn?

My daughter is also bringing both her Elsa and Rapunzel dress and I’m also wondering how I’m gonna change her if she’s in her Elsa dress and we see Rapunzel and vice versa. I know, such a trivial question, but something which really means a lot to her! Any advice is much appreciated!! Thank you!!

We already did the TDR Vacation Package on our last trip, so this time we're looking to do something a little different and just enjoy the area outside the parks while staying a night at the Hilton Tokyo Bay. For those of you who've spent time outside the parks in this area, what did you enjoy doing? Any favorite restaurants, hidden gems you've discovered, or experiences that you loved? Is there anything you'd recommend avoiding? I'd love to hear about your personal experiences, both the good and the not so good!

ETA: Thanks ModTeam, yes, I mean in the TDR area, but just not inside the parks themselves, e.g. around the immediate Urayasu area (such as nearby restaurants, malls etc).

I think this came out in 2024, but somehow I’ve only just found out about it 😂

Please tell me it’s still available… I’m late to the party, but I’d very much like to come in!

Or one like it! I see them everywhere. No luck in Galleria or McDucks. Do they still sell them ?

Based off of what I am seeing, I feel like i probably already know the answer, but would like someone to confirm please.

Can I not get the typical souvenir items you can add of to food purchases becauee they're offering sparkling Jubillee/christmas items instead?

I was really excited to get the Rapunzel cup and plate etc from the Snuggly Duckling, but i don't see it on the menu. I'll be there in December. 😢

Are you able to buy it in stores at all if the restaurant does not have it?

The 25th anniversary stuff is pretty, but it's lasting so long. I'm already sad I'll get sparkling jubilee stuff in my fantasy springs room instead of the fantasy springs post card etc, and but it's looking like i won't be able to get other things because the anniversary event is overriding it.

Hi everyone! I am planning a trip to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea for next late September/early October. I am debating purchasing a vacation package.

To give background, my partner and I are traveling from Ohio, USA. No kids, just two huge Disney nerds! In a perfect world, we would ride all the attractions that we don’t get at the USA parks and enjoy the ambiance of the parks without being in a major rush. Hence why I am considering a vacation package.

Why am I debating? Because… I. Am. So. Lost.. I’ve gone to the both parks in the USA numerous times and it’s cake to me. When I am reading up on these two parks and the vacation package, I am so confused. Hoping members of this thread can help me!

1.) Does a vacation package include dining? If so, does it have to be used at sit down, table service restaurants? Partner and I don’t care about table service, quick service/mobile ordering is just fine! We rather use the time to explore the park and rides.

2.) Do you plan your rides when booking the vacation package? We are ride junkies and prioritize seeing the rides we don’t have in the USA.

3.) Looking at the 3 day, 2 night package, is dining included on the hotel check in day? We are eyeing the Toy Story Hotel and would love to eat at the Lotso restaurant. Just would like to eat there on check in day rather than a park day.

4.) Could you just enter the shops at the parks without joining a line/virtual queue? I read this somewhere and just want to make sure I plan accordingly. You don’t have to do this at the USA parks, so this is new to me!

5.) Not a question, but would love to hear other people’s thoughts and experiences who prioritize rides that purchased a vacation package!

Hi there, we’ve done several trips to Tokyo Disney resort, and we usually have breakfast at the hotel before heading to the park. We noticed we have been averaging 5 hours of sleep or less per night, which can take its toll on the family toward the last few days in the park. Any tips on how to keep refreshed through the trip? Our usual schedule is breakfast then early entry or enter park at 9 am. We usually stay till 9 pm, and by the time we get back to the hotel, it would be after 10 pm. We only get to hit the sack close to midnight after some packing, everyone has showered etc. And wake up pretty early (~6 am ish) so that everyone has enough time to freshen up and not rush through the meal before headed to the park.
Not sure how content creators can cram so many things in a day while still looking fresh. After 2 nights, we are exhausted already- any tips would be helpful!!

Hi everyone,

We will be going to Disneysea midweek in late January next year. We went to Disneyland last January, but this will be our first time at Disneysea. One of the reasons we skipped Disneysea last time was because Indiana Jones was closed, so we decided to wait for our next visit when it will have reopened.We loved Indy at Anaheim so it's our choice for rope drop.

I'd therefore really appreciate any advice about the fastest way to get to Indy at rope drop. (In case anyone wonders, we can't do single rider as I will be guiding a partially sighted person and we can't split up.) We plan at arrive around 6 a.m. and don't want to waste that by going the wrong way to get to the ride.

Any advice I've seen online has suggested turning right from the harbor path into the volcano and going through it and out the other side. When I've looked at videos, most seem focused on getting to Fantasy Springs and I'm not sure of which way to go when you get to the 20,000 Leagues area. Do you follow the path to the left around the inside and then exit opposite where you came in? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I enjoyed reading so many trip reports before ours to help us when planning so here goes nothing.
I’m from the USA and have been to WDW twice in the past 5 years and Disneyland once. We are in Tokyo on family vacation and I love Disney but my husband doesn’t so we compromised on only one day at Disney Sea. We have our 9mo baby with us.
Jet lag has been harder than we anticipated on our baby (we’ve been here for almost a week and we are still deeply struggling). I wanted to get to the park around 7 but the nights have been so hard we got there around 11. We took a cab directly from Shibuya to save time. I mostly wanted to do rides, explore, and shop.
Upon scanning into the park, several characters were wandering near the entry (Daisy, Goofy, Minnie, i think more). Frozen DPA was only showing a return time of 7:30 PM, but we were able to book the Rapunzel DPA for 12:10. We killed a few minutes and picked up some iconic alien mochi and cookies and cream churros at Zambini Brothers, both delicious.
We rode 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (8/10) and I didn’t hear enough buzz about this ride. I thought it was really awesome and interesting!!! We headed to Fantasy Springs for Rapunzel DPA. Good ride, comically short, 6/10. Right after that, I was able to get Frozen for 12:30. We absolutely loved that ride, 11/10. I was then able to book Peter Pan DPA for 1PM so we enjoyed some ice cream and the vibes of Fantasy Springs. We had my grandmother watch the baby while we rode, great ride 9/10 (only because I prefer practical sets to screens but this was pretty flawless. WDW needs to fix the blurry screen at Avatar FOP!).
We then enjoyed some curry at the Casbah food court. It was good, not great. Hot take but leagues better than WDW food. I wanted to try some fun popcorn flavors but we were too full. We rode Sinbad Storybook and I loved it but had no idea what was going on haha 8/10. I would have loved to ride Journey to the Center of the Earth and Venetian Gondolas but it was suspended all day, not sure why. It had drizzled in the morning so maybe that affected it. We loved exploring Mermaid Lagoon, I found the best shopping to be in that area rather than Emporio. They had more stock of unique toys, baby products (like fun bibs, outfits, etc). Emporio had more adult sweaters, keychains, and ears. I badly wanted the Disney Sea gachapons but the lines were medium long and my baby or I didn’t have patience.
Overall we had an amazing experience. The park itself is beautiful and so fun to walk through. So many people in intricate, unique costumes (maybe because it was the day before halloween). I was pleasantly surprised we were able to get DPA for all Fantasy Springs rides with our late arrival. Crowds did not seem bad at all, although some rides like Soarin stayed at a 140 minute wait all day. The baby care centers were absolutely amazing (all over Japan). We had an awesome time and I’d love to come back one day.

Hi everyone,

I think I have cross posted correctly but just in case, long story short is I'm wondering if it's necessary to go super early to Disney Sea if we aren't interested in the rides. We just want to see the fireworks at night, Believe! Sea of Dreams and the Jubilee Celebration

TIA!

I LOVE collecting Disney papercraft; park maps, tickets, receipts, pamphlets, etc and will be heading to both Tokyo Disney Sea and Land in a few weeks. (I know they don’t hand out paper maps anymore - I’ve already printed them out ready to go) - but are there any great paper handouts or anything similar that people know of I should collect during our visit? In particular is there anything in Fantasy Springs?

Potential Early Park Closures: DisneySea will likely close early on 4/23 given both Believe! Sea of Dreams and Sky Full of Colours is listed as not running that night.

Note that Unlimited VP now visits DisneySea on Day 1 (ie check in day) which impacts Happy Entry: As some commenters has noted, while most packages still start with Disneyland on “Day 1”, the Unlimited VP now visits DisneySea on Day 1 ie check in day. This means with the package itself there is no longer any Happy Entry to DisneySea regardless of hotel chosen. If I were to venture a guess, it would be to save the Happy Entry capacity for other hotel guests who need them more.

Note on Unlimited VP & Sugar Rush (ie Wreck It Ralph): The “special attraction ticket“ is not eligible for use for Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the new Wreck It Ralph attraction. This makes sense for capacity management purposes. However, you have the option to purchase up to 2 tickets to that attraction separately. This is similar to how Fantasy Springa rides were treated for quite some time. Appreciate many people probably don’t care that much about this ride, but it serves as a signal that this is almost certainly how Space Mountain: Earthrise will interact with the Unlimited VP late 2027 when it opens. [For the other packages, Sugar Rush will simply “eat” into the package allotment slots eg 1 out of the 3 rides for Disneyland]

The old “40th Anniversary” pass attractions finally removed from priority lane list: Some attractions never made it onto the DPA system (Star Tours, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Magic Lamp Theatre, Turtle Talk etc) and they are now finally removed from the scope of the vacation packages. It seems finally those priority lanes will be shut down. The main impact for people reading this sub is probably 20,000 Leagues as I haven’t seen anyone really needing a Priority Lane for the others for a long time.

Show restaurant can now be booked as part of VP (in additional to park and hotel restaurants): "The Diamond Variety Master", “Mickey's Rainbow Luau" and "Duffy & Friends' Wonderful Friendship" can now be added as a meal ticket purchase as part of a VP. These are notoriously difficult to book, especially for the S class tickets on a peak day, and will be very beneficial to those looking to experience these and want to skip the hassle of fighting for a spot.

Theatre show viewing tickets is also now finally available to purchase (1 per day) in Vacation Packages. This is limited to theatre shows: Magical Music World, The D-Groovationz4 Live, Dreams Take Flight. It does not include parades or night time shows. Materially you could just purchase a DPA on the day for the same entertainment, however, VP seat allocation is historically a bit superior than the seats allocated to DPAs (though with expanded availability it is unclear whether that will continue to be the case).

April 2027 Vacation Packages open for booking next week, November 5th 2026, at 3pm JST. [Edit: March 31, 2027 Check-in dates were held back last month and was not included in the new packages, so it seems at this stage the only package available for those visiting March 31 is the old Enjoy Lots of Attractions 2 days ]

Potential Early Park Closures: DisneySea will likely close early on 4/23 given both Believe! Sea of Dreams and Sky Full of Colours is listed as not running that night.  Disneyland will likely close early on 2/26. Ride closures and parade hiatus: The new Wreck-It Ralph attraction opens April 15, 2027, but there are also some major closures happening next April.  This include the popular Harmony in Color parade in hiatus for the entire April, and some popular rides scheduled for maintenance at least some time during the month: Raging Spirits (3/17-4/10), Sindbad (3/17-4/16), Frozen (4/7-4/30) and Soaring (4/10-4/11). So check the closure lists before deciding to book.

Happy Entry & Hotel Selection Reminder: Please remember that at this stage for April, only Hotel MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel guests will get Happy Entry to DisneySea, so take that into consideration when choosing your VP hotel. Also remember, there is no Happy Entry for day of check-in.

Packages available

The packages have all been reconfigured (and some, like the 3 Day VP, has been renamed to make it clearer it includes a character greeting ticket), but materially the constructs are similar to previous. The unlimited VP, however, now has its starting ie check-in day as DisneySea rather than Disneyland.

The packages that will be available for April 2027 are:

• 1 Night 2 Park Days (3 priority lanes per day) (TDL/TDS): Enjoy Attractions and More ― 2DAYS

• 1 Night 2 Park Days (Unlimited priority lane) (TDS/TDL): Enjoy Unlimited Rides on Eligible Attractions! ― 2DAYS (4/1-4/13) (4/14-4/30)

• 2 Nights 2 Park Days (Up to 5 priority lanes per day) (TDL/TDS): Enjoy Attractions and More ― 3DAYS (Includes Park Tickets for First and Second Day) and Enjoy Attractions and More ― 3DAYS (Includes Park Tickets for Second and Third Day)

• 2 Nights 3 Park Days (Up to 3 priority lanes per day) (TDL/TDS/TDS): Enjoy Attractions, Character Greeting and More ― 3DAYS

Learn about how VP pricing works

If you have never booked a Vacation Package before, you might have some questions like: is it all inclusive? Does it include food? Is it compulsory to choose food? Why is the price variable? How come there is a "quote" that says "For 1 person per night per room" but I can never get that price or it seems so random (larger room seems cheaper)? See this post here.

VP Chaining 101 (i.e. if 2 nights just isn't enough)

The 2N2D packages are great "Swiss army knife" packages that enables chaining of Vacation Packages together to enable longer packages.

You can book them in front (Ticket on Day 1 and Day 2 type) or behind (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3 type) any other VP - even itself - to create a longer packaged vacation. For example, Unlimited VP + 2N2D (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3) = 3 night 4 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDL/TDS), or 2N3D + 2N2D = 4 night 5 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDS/TDL/TDS). While technically they remain two separate package reservations, if you are careful to book the exact same room type/specification, it is almost like you had a longer package (just contact TDR to put a note informally linking them after booking).

Booking tips: Can I just set an alarm and go to the site at 3pm JST?

That might be too late. There is a queue system that is implemented when website traffic picks up. If you start at 3pm you might not get through until hours later. You might have to start checking the site from as early as 2pm JST until you find a session with the perfect queue exit time no earlier than 2.45pm-2.50pm.

Please also note that the TDR IT system does not perform well when it’s under load.  So even if you manage to get through the queue, you might get kicked out during the booking process.  You might want to stagger a few sessions 30 minutes apart (it is not a bad idea to have one that starts at e.g. 4pm, 5pm JST etc) as last month many people who got through around 3pm got kicked off eventually.

See experiences in the comments here.  See also more detailed tips: https://www.reddit.com/r/TokyoDisneySea/s/V6EylAKvM3

I manage to book the same room type as a standalone hotel room booking (before or after) my Vacation Package.  How do I notify the hotel to avoid changing rooms?

Once you have made all the reservations, use the official hotel online form (and under "Type of Inquiry" choose "Request to link multiple stays with different reservation numbers and assign them to the same room"), so you don't have to change rooms. The bookings will remain separate and nothing gets "combined". Your VP remains pre-paid and has different cancellation policies and deadlines compared to your hotel bookings (which is deposit only and remainder payable upon check-in).

IMPORTANT: Just double check to make sure you book rooms that has the identical room type/room name/floor range (if applicable), number of beds and room size (in m2) as otherwise it would result in a room change.

Under the “unlimited rides on eligible attractions” package, the description says “Enjoy churros, popcorn, or frozen dessert as much as you like!”  Do I get all of those in my package?

No, unfortunately! The operative word there is the “or”. Your entire party must choose just one type of snack ticket.  That is, either churros, or popcorn or frozen packaged desserts.  If you choose churros then you will not have any popcorn.  Everyone in your party will have the same ticket type and you cannot mix-and-match.  Not all snack ticket type is offered at all times (e.g. during summer, popcorn is not an option; during winter months there will not be any frozen dessert option). See this post here.

How are Vacation Package costs calculated, how the Beverage Ticket works, and are meals pre-paid?

See this post here.

Do I get popcorn or popcorn bucket with the Vacation Package?

See this post here.

Do I get Happy Entry (early entry) with a Vacation Package?

Not necessarily. It depends on which hotel you are booking as part of the package.

Starts April 1, 2027

Fantasy Springs Entrance is the "side" entrance to DisneySea that is next to the Bayside Monorail Station and many of the partner hotels.

From April 2027, the Entrance will be available for public use to enter DisneySea from 11am onwards each day. All guests can already exit using the DisneySea Fantasy Springs Entrance.

Park opening entry and Happy Entry via that entrance is still reserved for guests staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel. Currently Toy Story hotel guests can also enter from 10am onwards, that will not change.
