Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

[BasiltheBatLord]

I'll be curious to see how much the percentage of foreign visitors continues to increase.

The latest attendance report has foreign guests at 12.7% as of FY 2024, which still seems kind of low to me considering the unbelievably insane numbers of tourists that can be found in every single neighborhood of Tokyo these days.

Pre Covid international guests was like sub 5%. You could go almost the entire day and not see a “western” person

12.7% is actually higher than I would have imagined even given Japan’s soaring international tourist numbers

The mix of tourists have also changed, Chinese tourist still haven't recovered while the western ones have boomed. I can imagine that the grow of westerns in Disneyland is larger than that number makes it look like.

I thought this review was very interesting. Balanced, with some important issues pointed out.

“””We often complain nowadays about Disney parks expansion….OOPS!! all E tickets; it’s great to see Fantasy Springs open with a smaller attraction(Buggies) for some variety”””

I watched that video a while ago and it basically made all the points I thought but just worded way better

The land has no streetmosphere or shows, it doesn’t feel like disneysea and leans way too hard on its rides over everything else leading to large amounts of dead space that are in actuality hiding show buildings

I will also say PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow Tokyo bay guests to leave via fantasy springs hotel, even if it’s a one way exit, please

going to TDR tomorrow on a whim… won’t be able to make it at opening, closer to 10am. Is it even worth going to Disneysea to try and get into fantasy springs? Willing to buy passes or whatever to get in. Any feedback?

Based on recent data, you almost certainly won't be able to get a pass for Frozen, but it's very possible you could get some for Tangled or Peter Pan.

So being there at opening and buying a premier pass or the 40th pass is what I’ve gathered is key?

TDR Explorer has an explainer here: https://tdrexplorer.com/tokyo-disneysea-expansion-fantasy-springs/#h-how-to-get-into-fantasy-springs

Basically, if you don't have a specific hotel stay or vacation package, then you need to get a (free) standby pass or buy a premier pass for any of the FS attractions in order to access the land.
