Tokyo DisneySea

Tokyo DisneySea is a unique amusement park, with a theme unlike any of the other Disney parks around the world. It has a nautical theme, and the seven areas of the park are described as ‘Ports of Call’. You’ll enter through Mediterranean Harbor, visit a volcano (Mount Prometheus) in Mysterious Island, see the characters from The Little Mermaid in Mermaid Lagoon, see Aladdin and Sinbad on the Arabian Coast, do some exploring in Lost River Delta, uncover marine technology in Port Discovery, and enjoy a day at the beach at the American Waterfront. The theming and decor are second-to-none, and the rides and shows are impressive too! You’ll find a range of rides, from thrill rides like Indiana Jones Adventure and Journey to the Center of the Earth, to gentle rides like the Electric Railway or Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage, which are suitable for children of all ages.

Tokyo Disney Resort doesn’t offer single-day Park Hopper tickets, but it is theoretically possible to buy two single tickets and visit both parks in one day. However, it’s not really recommended that visitors try to cram both parks into a single day, since both parks are large, with lots to do, and they also tend to be very busy so lines for rides and food can be long. You probably won’t be able to see everything, so it’s preferable to either spend a whole day in each park or pick the one which interests you more and save the other for a future trip.

A picnic area is available outside the entrance to the park, guests who wish to leave and return need to have their hand stamped and hang onto their ticket because you’ll need both to get back into the park. Guests with special dietary requirements who need to bring their own food are able to, just let the staff of any restaurant know when your party sits down to eat. There are a total of 39 restaurants, cafés, and food stalls, with a wide range of cuisines and prices to choose from! If you’re interested in interactions with Disney characters, then you’ll want to choose either Cape Cod Cook-Off on the American Waterfront or Horizon Bay Restaurant in Port Discovery. We also particularly recommend that you visit Magellan’s, which is a stunning table-service restaurant in the Mediterranean Harbour area. The food is great, and the interior design is worth a visit all by itself!

You’ll be outside for most of the day so make sure to dress for the weather. Tokyo can be very cold in the winter and extremely hot and humid in summer, so take that into account when picking clothes for the day - bring water and sunscreen in summer, and plenty of layers in winter. Apart from that, you’ll want to bring a phone or a camera to document your day and take photos of the incredibly designed surroundings, plus a portable charger to keep their batteries full throughout the day!

Children under the age of 12 are welcome to wear costumes to the park! Visitors over the age of 12 are asked not to wear costumes, except during Halloween events, where special guidance will be given. Mouse ears and themed clothing are allowed, but make sure that your mouse ears are safely secured when on the rides!
