Park guide
Everything you need to make the day work.
What to expect
TDS is the headline — eight themed ports including Mediterranean Harbor, Mysterious Island, American Waterfront, Arabian Coast and the new Fantasy Springs. TDL is the cleaner, more comfortable Magic Kingdom, with the unique Pooh's Hunny Hunt as the must-do.
Plan your day
Day 1: TDS — Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey at rope-drop, then Soaring, Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, Journey to the Center of the Earth. Day 2: TDL — Pooh's Hunny Hunt first, then Space Mountain, Big Thunder, Splash Mountain.
Food & drink
Popcorn flavours are a thing of legend — collect 6+ across both parks. Sit-down: S.S. Columbia Dining Room (TDS), Magellan's (TDS), Blue Bayou Restaurant (TDL — same as New Orleans Square in California). Reserve via the app 30 days out.

Insider tips
Things you'd only know on a second visit.
- 1
Buy Premier Access to Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey before doing anything else — it sells out faster than any ride in any Disney park anywhere.
- 2
TDS at night is unbeatable — stay at the MiraCosta hotel inside the park if budget allows; otherwise the Sheraton Grande next door is half the price.
- 3
Avoid Saturdays — Tokyo locals visit at the weekend and crowds are 50%+ heavier than weekdays.
- 4
Tokyo Disney Resort doesn't sell international tickets in advance — buy on the app 30 days out (00:00 JST) for guaranteed entry on Golden Week / Christmas.
