Worth a visit despite the crowds!
As it is overrated for crowdedness, I must admit that they are quite organized at Tokyo Disney and they do start to let people in before the official opening time without major hassles as compared to the USA when the crowd runs after being admitted in the park. Everyone is very orderly here.
They open at 9a.m. and arriving here around 8-8:15a.m. is good enough as around 8:30-8:35 a.m. they start screening bags. The main thing is that you need to have your Tokyo Disney app up and ready with wifi in purchasing your DPA (Disney Priority Access) tickets for particular shows/rides if you want to avoid the wait in long lines and check availability on the 40th Anniversary Priority Pass.
If you encounter any issues to purchase your DPA's, go get help. They are very helpful and also give out Birthday sticker badges, 1st time Visit stickers and Mickey Mouse balloon stickers. We did not expect too much for our visit as it was raining when we arrived but it all worked out well as the rain stopped by midday.
Disney popcorn buckets are such a popular item in Tokyo Disney, so if you are interested in a particular one, make sure you make a dash to get it immediately when you arrive in the park. We wanted to purchase Winnie the Pooh's Honey Pot Popcorn bucket but we found the popcorn stand to be closed indefinitely.
We asked the Winnie the Pooh Honey Hunt Ride cast member and one of them was so kind enough to check online and located that the Big Pop Store in Tomorrowland had it available. We scurried over there immediately and we were so delighted to be able to purchase one with Strawberry Napoleon flavor popcorn. Oh, also with each purchase of a popcorn bucket, you also get it filled with the flavor of popcorn you choose. We were so fortunate that the popcorn bucket was available and the cast member found it for us. He definitely went above and beyond in his call of duty!
It was worth the visit to Tokyo Disneyland as the Expressway Bus to Tokyo Disney Resort at the Shinjuku Bus Terminal was a direct ride and was very convenient for us as we did not have to transfer lines. It was only a 35-40 minute ride without stops.
