Tokyo Disney will have two parks. Today I want to talk to you about Ocean Disney. But except for the attractions, the other guide information is basically the same. Let’s follow the editor to see it. Please see the specific event information. Friends who want to play should not miss it. Preparation for DisneySea

①Avoid busy times!

Before deciding the day to go to DisneySea, it is recommended to check the busy period of the park first. Although there is no idle period at Tokyo Disney all year round, there are even admission restrictions during peak seasons. Avoiding these peak seasons as much as possible can upgrade the travel experience several levels.

The average waiting time in previous years, green is Sea

Specially busy periods with admission restrictions are generally as follows:

August:

It is just in time for the summer vacation, and it is also the Japanese Bonkyu (traditional festival) period. There are various activities and crowds of people will come from all directions for more than a month.

November:

Disney entering November will usher in large-scale events such as Halloween and Christmas. It can be said that it is the time when there are the most people in Disneyland, whether it is a day off or at work. The number of Japanese people is terrifying.

February~March:

Especially March is particularly scary. This is the spring break period for Japanese people. Every year Disney issues student discount packages, and there are many spring activities for graduates and limited souvenirs, so the number of tourists starts to explode at the end of February and reaches its peak at the end of March. . .

The busiest period is definitely Japan’s “ten consecutive holidays” on May Day. The 7th to 9th days just after the ten consecutive holidays, as well as the non-rest days in May and June, are better choices.

②Purchase of park admission tickets

Friends who book a package with the hotel will not be considered for the time being. Let’s take the one-day ticket as an example. There are three types of Disney one-day tickets, same-day tickets, advance tickets (specified date) and advance tickets (no specified date).

We strongly recommend that you choose to make a reservation, which can save a lot of time! Pre-sale tickets without a specified date may be turned away if it falls on a day when the number of admissions is restricted, so it is recommended to confirm the date in advance and then purchase the specified ticket Advance tickets for dates.

Advance tickets go on sale 2 months in advance and can be booked on the website or using the official Disney app. However, these channels all require credit card payment in your own name and recognized in Japan, which is not very friendly to overseas tourists. However, there are many online agency stores that can help you easily handle it.

If you purchased the ticket online, you can print it out directly and stuff it into a small folder like this. This QR code is not only a ticket for admission to the park, but it is also useful when picking up Fast Pass (FP).

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

Japanese convenience stores that sell Disney tickets are as follows:

7-eleven

LAWSON

FamilyMart

MINISTOP

Sunkus

Tickets printed at convenience stores now also have a QR code, allowing you to scan the code directly in the park to get FP.

In addition, starting from February this year, if you directly log in to the official website or APP to purchase tickets through your mobile phone, you can choose e-ticket. The QR code will be displayed directly on your mobile phone. You can directly scan your mobile phone to enter the park and receive FP. .

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

③Download the official Disney APP

If you want to play Disney, it is recommended to download the official APP! Because it is really easy to use!

Through this APP, you can check the waiting time of each attraction and make reservations for restaurants in the park or park hotels. , 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 the wrong detour to any place in the park ~ Comprehensive explanation of the park facilities

Okay! Now that we are ready and have bought our tickets, let’s walk into the gate of DisneySea!

Go through the alley from DisneySea Plaza and face the big volcano (pictured above) Below the words "Mediterranean Harbor") Here you will choose the order of your visit, clockwise or counterclockwise?

①Clockwise route

Go clockwise, the first one to arrive It's the American seaside area.

There are two extremely popular projects on the American beach - the Tower of Terror and the Toy Story Crazy Playhouse. These two items can be regarded as the representative projects of DisneySea!

Therefore, if your goal of coming to DisneySea is to dominate the super popular large-scale projects here, you are right to start here!

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

Probably one of the most thrilling rides in the entire DisneySea! Take the elevator to the top of the haunted hotel, but who knows that the elevator (similar to a jumping machine) is not allowed for guests under 102cm tall.

②Counterclockwise route

The counterclockwise route is more suitable for children of all ages who want to have close contact with Disney characters!< /p>

You can meet Ariel the Little Mermaid in Mermaid Lagoon, and then go to Lost River Delta to see Mickey and his friends.

Mickey and Friends’ welcome trail and welcome boat dock are both located in the Lost River Delta. Although there is no FP, the waiting time is usually not too long, about an hour.

The Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast areas also have a lot of cute and safe facilities, which are suitable for children to have fun. Parents who bring their children to play, we 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

This project is also suitable for children! Parents can hold babies who cannot sit firmly on their own.

Take a small submarine deep into the seabed and enjoy the wonders of Atlantis sleeping on the seabed. You will encounter some thrilling "trouble" along the way, but it will be resolved quickly~

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

Expedition to the center of the earth

Expedition to the center of the earth in a dark passage. The adventure vehicle will suddenly accelerate during the journey, making the process exciting. It is a very interesting project, it is recommended not to miss it! Tourists under 117cm tall are not allowed to ride. Tourists who cannot sit firmly on their own are not allowed to ride. Tourists with high blood pressure, heart disease, spine and neck discomfort, those who are prone to motion sickness and seasickness, and those whose conditions may be worsened by riding on the rides should not ride. Pregnant women are not allowed to ride. Elderly tourists are not allowed to ride. Make good use of Fast Pass tickets

Fast Pass tickets (FP) are the essence of getting through Disneyland with the highest efficiency. Making good use of FP can save more waiting time than others.

Let’s get to know FP first

There are two rules for the time to receive FP

The two-hour rule: after receiving the FP of a certain project, you want to receive it again FP for other items needs to wait 2 hours. For example, if you receive the FP of the Ancient Tower of Horror at 10:00, you can receive the FP of the Wrathful Gods at 12:00 at the earliest.

※

Actually, this 2-hour rule is not dead! It may change depending on the time and number of people entering the park. When the park first opens, it may take 40 minutes to get the next ticket. . So you might as well 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 for the current FP utilization time to arrive. back. For example, the current FP utilization time is 11:00~12:00, then the FP of the current project can be collected again after 11:00 at the earliest.

Items that usually take 60 minutes to queue up can be played in 5 to 10 minutes if you have FP. I feel so good when I swagger past in front of the queue!!

Where to receive FP

FP is free to receive. Just look around the facility where you can receive FP. Find the FP ticket issuing office like this:

Scan the QR code on your phone or on the ticket through the small opening on the machine to get the FP ticket.

The FP ticket issuing machine in each facility looks different, and it matches the facilities and surrounding environment. It’s very interesting!

Items that can use FP in DisneySea

Shocking The Ancient Tower, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mermaid Lagoon Theatre, The Wrathful Gods, Toy Story Crazy Playhouse, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Magic Lamp Theatre, Indiana Jones - The Palace of the Crystal Skull, Finding Nemo - Nemo and Friends' Ocean world.

Practical skills of FP

The advice from a Disney veteran is, no matter what time, get the FP first and then queue up!

This is because you have already received one After FP, you have 2 hours before the next one can be issued. While queuing up, these 2 hours passed! After you finish playing the project in front of you, you may be able to receive the next FP~

You can see such a time display at every FP coupon issuance office. 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 also receive FP through the APP, which saves the time of queuing at the coupon issuing machine, and the efficiency has been improved to a new level~~

I would also like to remind everyone that items with a waiting time of less than 30 minutes are Just go and queue up! It’s not cost-effective to waste FP once every 2 hours on this!

Usage Notes

There is nothing special to pay attention to when using FP , as long as you go within the time marked above (usually 1 hour), you can go anytime. There is no need to wait in a hurry when the time is almost up. There is a dedicated FP entrance, and STAFF will be waiting for you there. However, please note that during the show break-up period at DisneySea, the flow of people is very large and the access roads will become congested. At this time, if you are far from the facilities and are delayed on the way, you may be late. . . Therefore, you have to plan a certain amount of time in advance! DisneySea’s show

Disney’s show is not an after-show, but an important part of the park! Very few people come to Disney without watching the show show.

Here are some of the main performances at DisneySea!

[Performance Location/Performance Time]

Broadway Musical Theater/About 30 minutes Disney Shopping

Come to Disney , it is indispensable to do as the locals do and buy yourself some special "Disney" outfits.

The various souvenirs here that are different every year and every season are one of the reasons why many Disney fans can’t wait to live in the park~

About Disney’s peripheral souvenirs, I could write five thousand words alone, but Our main purpose is not to amway Disney’s cute gadgets, but to tell you how to buy everything you want to buy more efficiently after playing!

① Make full use of the waiting time for performances

There is a waiting time for the performances mentioned above. Especially before watching the main light show in the park, you probably need to reserve a seat at least 1 hour in advance. This is the best time to shop.

In Disney, you are not allowed to use objects to occupy seats, but as long as there are people there, it is completely OK. As long as you are not alone, you can go shopping separately, with some people occupying seats and others shopping alternately. This is the most time-saving method!

In the Disney Park, there are stores in every area, including the largest store "Emporio Mall" and the largest candy store "Lovers Dessert". The "Disney Mall" selling the Duffy series and the largest clothing store "Figaro Clothing Counter" are concentrated in the "Mediterranean Harbor" area where the show is located, so shopping is super convenient~

②Get Get your APP!

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

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

The advantage of using the APP to shop is that firstly, you don’t have to queue up to check out, secondly you don’t have to carry large and small bags home, and thirdly, you can also confirm the inventory status of the product, and you can see at a glance whether it is out of stock.

Friends who want to see it with their own eyes can also scan the barcode and record it in the APP mall after selecting it in the store. Finally, use the APP to check out, and then set it to be mailed to the hotel or B&B. Then you can easily go back and wait for collection~
