Disney Sea is a fun and great addition to the Disney experience. I have only ever been to Disney and California Adventures and found the Tokyo parks well worth the visit. There are the typical waits that you find at any park, but by using the app, you can obtain some express passes to shorten the wait. I also did not see the wider variety of souvenirs, but the selection is good. There are plenty of good food places but some places may have a long line, so be prepared.

We had so much fun. The Little Mermaid section is incredible. We also really liked Princess Jasmine’s castle. There were quite a few lines but that’s to be expected. Good food and WAY cheaper than American Disney resorts.

First time ever here! Disney sea really is such a unique experience. We have only ever visited Disneyland in America and they truly out do themselves here. I recommend getting there early and getting fast passes for rides you want to see. We really enjoyed Journey to the Center of the Earth. The snacks are fun and are based on the different areas of the park. They have different themed popcorn as well— we loved the soy sauce and butter popcorn. The process of getting into Disney sea was great. Just a heads up if you take transit in they have a Disney resort line you will be taking to get to the park and they take transport cards such as Suica. Wait times can be long but worth it so wear comfy shoes! It was our first experience and we really enjoyed it!

I've visited many times but it's been a few years since my last visit (2019). Everything is just as I remember it with a few little improvements here and there~

Disney Hotel guests have early entry by about 15 minutes and also there's an entirely separate queue just for them which was totally empty when my group went in (about 8:45am). I suspect that guests of the Miracosta Hotel may get an even earlier time than 8:15 because it's located within the park itself. You'd get a beautiful view of the parades and fireworks at night I'm sure.

For example, the fast pass/priority pass system had greatly changed. You can now access this on your mobile phone via an app that makes it MUCH easier to get a spot on your favourite ride. Your ticket must be activated by scanning it at the park entrance gates before you can begin to book rides or restaurants, so you should get there early as possible (talking like 7-8am, no joke) if securing an early ride is your goal.

Some rides now cost 2000yen per person to secure a priority pass which is understandable for perhaps a roller-coaster or Toy Story Mania, but I didn't feel like Soarin' Fantastic Flight should have been priced that high (because it's the type of ride in which your chair is moved around gently while you watch a curved movie screen). It's a fine cost if you're buying it for just yourself, but as a family of 4, it was a shock to the wallet!

Photos on the Indiana Jones ride were broken/not available the day we went (30.10.2023) which was a little disappointing. Not many rides have photo options at Disney Sea and this one is my favourite. When it is working, position your party in the front seat of the car for the best pictures.

Different from regular Disney parks, a bit smaller, which was fine as we got to see everything in one day. I like how they control ticket sales so the place wasn't over crowded. The little mermaid area was one of the best places to see. And we were able to go on most of the rides. Arrive early to use the app to book your ride. We were there all day and were able to book 2 rides.

The rides at Tokyo Disney Sea are on a whole other level. They are not only fun and thrilling but tell a story so beautifully. The areas where you are waiting in line have an insane amount of detail and thought to them. It makes the long wait times not as bad. I did go on a weekday off season (spring) and the wait times were about 15 minutes to 1 hour per ride. We did use the app to keep track of wait times too and it really helped. The interactive photos/videos and projections before the rides were so magical.

We also visited when it was their 40th anniversary so they had a nice show. Their fireworks/light show at the end was also a must see. We bought tickets to be able to sit closer to the front as well which I think was worth it.

The best!! Our second visit and just as impressive as the first time. DisneySea has lots of rides but every single thing in the park is themed so even when not on the rides there is a lot to see and do! Use the app to book your fast pass options, it’s well worth it. The app also shows current wait times for each ride. We went on a Wednesday and could tell it wasn’t too busy compared to what it can be, but it was still really great to not have to queue. There was a wonderful firework/lights show at 7:30pm, so worth staying for that. You can spend the whole day here easily, it’s an awesome park!

Very clean and beautiful park. The lines to the rides can get pretty long, but that's to be expected. The rides themselves are much shorter than in US, but are still very fun.
My favorite place was the mermaid cove! It's absolutely beautiful and makes you feel like you're in an underwater palace. All the rides there are for very small children, but the adults can enjoy the peaceful ambiance while the kids can run around and play.
The whole park is a wonderful place to walk around and my family truly enjoyed spending the day here.

This is undoubtedly one of Japan's top must-visit destinations. You have the option to purchase an express pass online for select rides, which allows you to return at a specified time to enjoy them. However, keep in mind that online purchases restrict you from acquiring another pass until you've used the previous one. Additionally, consider using the railway and transit streamer line for a convenient and speedy journey inside – it's almost like teleporting! 😂

DisneySea offers a brand new park to enjoy that unique to only Japan. The theme here is very western Europe based. The ride selection isn't extensive but has enough to keep you occupied for most of the day. The food choices are plentiful so you can really spend the day munching away on some awesome cuisine options.

It’s so beautiful! The monorail is not free and you must have yen. We were able to walk from our hotel anyway. The park is gorgeous. Before opening the crowds were very large, but by 1pm people were able to walk straight into the park. The lines are 30-90 minutes as we expected but there are 40th anniversary passes you can use like fast passes for some rides for free or you can pay to bypass specific lines. We just loved walking around. The shops are not as luxurious as the shops in Orlando.

Just fantastic! If you are visiting Japan and have enough time, you should definitely come!

Very unique and has a more "mature" theme than the traditional Disney land/world (though Disney is for all ages!). Some areas are especially gorgeous and well-built and well-designed. A wide variety of great rides and attractions. Merchandise is great and what you would expect for Disney, while service is top of the art and what you would expect for Japan!

Rides are not really high speed or scary. Aside from the ones specifically known for being more heart dropping, like the Tower of Terror and the Journey to the Center of the Earth. All the rides I went on were slow moving and relaxing. Even those scarier ones weren't that fast or particularly frightening, mainly because they were dark rides, were short, and did not have a significant amount of sharp & fast parts.

An absolutely magical day of experience. At a little over 8000 yen per ticket for an entire day of fun, it is worth the price over and over again.

Each themed area is beautifully crafted and full of photo zones. The rides are fun (although not as exciting or intense for thrill seekers), plenty of affordable food options and cheerful staff will make this a day to remember.

The night show, Believe! Sea of Dreams, alone makes this visit a success. It was a touching performance and yes, you should set up camp about an hour before the show to get a good viewing spot.

I truly believe this is one of the very best theme parks in the world. Please be sure to set a day aside for it!

We had the best experience you could ever have at a Disney park. I suggest going on a Thursday. We were able to finish all major rides by 1 PM with a 5-10 min wait time at each. The longest we waited was 20-25 min for some rides. All the themed areas were done so well and there was so much to explore and the shows were so fun! We did have to get premier access passes for Soaring a fantastic flight and Tower of Terror as those rides fill up really fast.

Something different compared to Disneyland. Not that many rides and themes. The waiting line is super long. I had to wait in line for literally 3 hours for a 2 minute ride. Not sure if the express pass is a good deal or not considering there is not that many ride. This is also a weekday when I'm visiting so I couldn't imagine what the weekends are going to be like. The food prices are way cheaper compared to universal studios and plenty of restaurants around so the restaurants are not that packed and plenty of seats available. The themes are pretty cool, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Raging Spirits is the only roller coaster ride for adults, but it's not operating when I visit. The Indiana Jones ride is a good alternative. I would recommend shopping the merchandise at the main entrance first as they ran out of stock pretty fast, download the app (helps a lot with navigation and seeing the ride times), definitely visit this first than universal studios if not you are going to be disappointed with the rides. Oh and the rides are more suitable for older kids.
