DisneySea offers something truly unique compared to other Disney parks. The rides are great, with a special mention for both Frozen and Soaring. Fantasy Springs is one of the most incredible areas to walk through! Food was delicious and very reasonably priced compared to other US/European Disney parks.
I knocked it to 4* simply because it didn't capture the 'Disney' feel. It felt like an incredibly well-themed amusement park that attached the 'Disney' name to it for the most part. Fast passes aren't cheap but given we went in August, were well worth buying.
We got there for 8am and we got into the park at around 9:20am. If in Summer, prepare for the heat as we did!
Amazing experience apart from long line wait time (which is to be expected). The place was extremely clean and tidy. Staff were courteous, kind and friendly.
I do recommend wearing really comfy shoes as there is alot of walking involved.
The scenery is stunning, like walking through a little seaside village. It definitely helps you live your childhood dream 😅
Buying tickets in advance in recommend, also don't do what we did and attempt 2 parks in 1 day they are huge and will definitely make your feet sore from walking all day and night
More exhilarating and thrilling rides compared to Disney Land, however it doesn’t have the same dreamy atmosphere. The vibe was that this is more suited to adults whilst Disney Land was more for the kids. I really loved the underwater world, unfortunately the attractions were targeted at little ones. The place is beautifully lit at night along the river. Would advise coming at opening otherwise you won’t have enough time to do all the rides as there are lots and most have 1-2 hour wait times, might also want to consider 2 days to see everything. Food-wise I would highly recommend the gyoza bun in Nautilus Gallery. The garlic scallop popcorn was also yummy.
I had heard great things about Tokyo DisneySea, but I honestly wasn’t prepared for how different and enjoyable it would be compared to the Disneyland park next door. From the moment we entered, we noticed a much more unique and mature theme running throughout the entire park. It’s clear this park was designed to appeal to older kids and adults while still maintaining the Disney magic.
The day started with light rain, which might have helped keep the crowds smaller. This worked in our favor, as we were able to explore without feeling rushed or stuck in long lines. The water-themed rides and attractions added a refreshing twist, and the overall design of the park felt like a mix between adventure, fantasy, and exploration.
Some of our highlights included the Indiana Jones ride, Tower of Terror, and the detailed harbor areas that made us feel like we were somewhere far from Tokyo. The Toy Story Mania section was fun and immersive, with incredible attention to detail.
The nighttime illuminations and ambient lighting created a wonderful atmosphere. The cast members were friendly and made every interaction enjoyable.
If you’ve already been to a Disneyland park elsewhere and only have a single day, I would highly recommend prioritizing Tokyo DisneySea. It’s a different kind of magic that still delivers unforgettable moments. I’ll definitely be coming back on my next visit to Tokyo.
Very fun experience. Staff is extremely kind and helpful. Would recommend this for anyone. As a tourist, it was a perfectly delightful experience! We went and were assisted at every turn. With the food, stick to noodles and curry, and you will be better off than me. The sausage and hamburgers are a little scary, but that's coming from someone who eats a lot of that stuff in America. It was just different, but very delicious. Register for rides ahead of time really helped with the lines. We also skipped the fireworks at the end and made it out without the crowds.
