Tokyo Disneyland & Disneysa: Guide for First-Timers

Vi skriver normalt ikke reiseguider for temaparker. Men Tokyo Disney Resort [viste seg å være] mye mer komplisert enn vi forventet.

Ja, komplisert. Så snart jeg begynte å brenne min første times kø for min første tur, visste jeg at denne super populære temaparken ville fortjene sitt eget blogginnlegg. Da linjen vår beveget seg i et tempo som ville skamme isbreer, innså jeg at hvis du ikke planlegger turen hit godt, vil du ende opp med å kaste bort mye tid og nyte veldig lite.

Så her er det, en reiseguide som er spesielt dedikert til Tokyo Disney Resort, presentert i vanlige spørsmål (ofte stilte spørsmål). Værsågod!

Hvilket er bedre: Disneyland eller Disneysa?

Disneysa, uten spørsmål. Det er mer visuelt tiltalende, og det er mer spennende. Men den mest overbevisende grunnen til at du bør velge Disneysa, er at det er en av et slag. Du vil aldri finne noen annen Disneysea andre steder i verden, mens det er mange andre Disneylands. Pokker, det er en annen ikke så langt unna – Hong Kong.

Tokyo Disneysa
Tokyo Disneyland
Jeg har bare vært på bare en annen Disneyland (Hong Kong), men jeg kan fortelle deg at det er altfor lignende Tokyo Disneyland. Det er forskjeller her og der, men nøkkelattraksjonene og totalopplevelsen er de samme. Så her er noe som vil gjøre det lettere for deg å velge: Hvis du har vært i Disneyland Hong Kong eller planlegger å dra dit, kan du velge DisneySea.

Det vil si hvis du bare kan velge en. Hvis du har mer tid og penger, sjekk ut begge deler. Hvorfor ikke?

Når er den beste tiden å besøke?

Du vet allerede dette, men jeg vil bare stave det ut: Disneyland og Disneysa er utrolig populære. Og jeg mener utrolig populært. Enhver Tokyo-bundet turist som reiser med familie eller barn, vil mest sannsynlig ha dem i reiseruten. Forvent derfor lange, lange, lange linjer, spesielt i helgene og høysesongene.

Lange køer
Hva er toppsesongene? I følge de fleste online kilder:

Golden Week (29. april – 5. mai)

Obon Festival (13. – 15. august)

Nyttår (31. desember – 5. januar)

Jeg har vært på Disney Resort to ganger. Første gang i slutten av november, og køene var ikke så ille. Andre gang var i begynnelsen av april, i uken med Cherry Blossoms ‘fulle blomstring, og Maaaaan var det Cray Cray. Jeg endte opp med å ri bare en håndfull attraksjoner, og til og med køene for popcorn var utilgivende. Og det var på en torsdag!

Hvis du allerede har en fast plan, bare prøv å unngå å besøke en helg fordi de kjekke pengene du brukte på billetten ikke vil være verdt det.

Det er et nettsted som spår hvor overfylt Disneyland og DisneySea kommer til å være på spesifikke datoer. Problemet er at det er på japansk, men du kan alltid bruke Google Translate. Sjekk det her.

Men så tidlig som nå, av hensyn til din fornuft, godta i ditt hjerte at du ikke får oppleve alt!

Hvor mye koster opptaksbilletten?

Her er billettprisene (fra 2017):

Du kan dobbeltsjekke de oppdaterte prisene her.

Hvor kan jeg kjøpe billetter?

Du kan kjøpe billetter fra bodene ved inngangen. Men hvis du vil spare mer tid, kan du kjøpe online. KLook selger mange typer avhengig av hvor du vil hente Disney -passet ditt. Det er tre områder der du kan innløse billetten: Maihama Station, Narita Airport og Shinjuku -området.

Maihama Station er den mest praktiske fordi det er stasjonen nærmest Disney Resort.

Du kan bruke noen av disse pasningene for enten Disneyland eller Disneysa.

Du kan sjekke prisene eller kjøpe en nedenfor:

✅ 1-dagers pass-Maihama Station henting

✅ 2-dagers pass-Maihama Station henting

✅ 1-dagers pass-Narita Airport henting

✅ 1-dagers pass-Shinjuku henting

Bestilling er enkel og problemfri. Dette er hvordan.

1. Sjekk ut noen av sidene ovenfor. Velg pick-up-området som er mest praktisk for deg.

2. Velg dato og mengde. Klikk på boken.

3. Skriv inn dine detaljer på neste side.

4. On the same page, pay using credit card or PayPal.

Det er det! You’ll get a confirmation via email!

Once booked, you just need to show your printed or mobile/digital copy of the voucher to redeem your Disneyland pass. There are 3 areas where you can redeem the ticket (depending on what you booked): Maihama station (which is the train station closest to Disney Resort; Narita Airport; and Shinjuku area.

Er det en måte å omgå de lange linjene på?

Yes, and it’s perfectly legitimate. It’s called fast PASS.

Fast Pass
Disneylands in the us have it too. fast Pass is a ticket that would allow you to skip the regular lines and go straight to the ride. At every key attraction in both Disneyland and DisneySea, there is a separate entrance for those with fast Pass tix.

It’s similar to universal Studios’ express Pass. The difference is, it is not for sale. It’s fair game.

Only one fast Pass per park ticket is allowed at any given time.

Hvordan kan jeg dra nytte av denne raske passen?

Here’s how it works.

Every key attraction has fast Pass ticket machines installed near the entrance. All you need to do is scan the QR Code of your ticket and it will give you a fast pass for that particular ride. It recognizes QR Code printed on Klook tickets so make sure you don’t lose your printout after entering the park.

The machines will release a small ticket. That’s your fast pass. The ticket indicates the specific attraction you can use it for and two times: the time you can use the pass and the time you can get another fast Pass.

You cannot use the fast Pass anytime you want. You can only use it within the period assigned to you. So if your fast Pass reads you can use it between 1-2pm, you should enter the attraction at any time within 1-2pm. You can show up at 1:55pm and they will still accept it.

Kan jeg få en rask pasning for alle turene i min første time inne?

Nei. You’re allowed only ONE fast Pass every 1.5 hours or so. You’re blocked from getting another pass until the time indicated. Sometimes, even if you get a fast pass in the morning, you’re scheduled for a 3pm ride. That’s how tightly they regulate ticketing. Also, fast Pass ticketing closes at around 4pm.

So make sure you get a fast pass for only the rides you really, really want to experience. If you’re on the fence about something, don’t get a fast pass for it.

Bruker alle attraksjoner raskt?

No. only the most popular ones. See the list of key attractions above? only those accept fast Pass. For everything else, you have to fall in line.

Hvordan kan jeg maksimere tiden min?

Here’s a good strategy: get a fast Pass for your top 4 attractions. This is, in my opinion, the best way to approach this:

Before the trip, research and identify your top 6 attractions. Now, get a map of the park and rearrange your top 6 according to their location. Your #1 attraction should be near #2 and so on.

Come to the park early. The earlier you arrive, the more rides you’ll enjoy.

Once inside, go straight to your #1 attraction and get a fast Pass for it. check the assigned time you should enter that attraction and the time you can get another fast pass.

While waiting, queue up for your #2 attraction. When you’re done, enjoy the other attractions nearby.

When it’s your time to get another fast Pass (you’ll see the time on your first fast Pass), go to your #3 Attraction and get another fast Pass.

Once you have your second fast Pass, go to your #4 Attraction and queue up.

Just repeat the process.

Of course, don’t forget to return to the attractions you got fast Passes for when it’s time!

Also, be mindful of certain schedules especially of the parade and the fireworks display.

Uten raskt pass, hvor lenge må jeg vente i kø?

Depends on the attraction. If you’re lucky, 30-40 minutes. but for the extremely popular ones, prepare to wait for 60-90 minutes, sometimes 120 minutes.

Bring something to entertain yourself while waiting. In my case, my phone usually does the trick. I just upload pics and check my social accounts. and oh, bring a power bank (mobile charger).

Hvor du kan spise inne i Disneyland/Disneysa

There are a number of restaurants inside the parks, but the queues and prices can be scary. A set meal costs ¥900 (sandwich + drink) to ¥1500 (rice meal), and truth be told, they don’t really taste special. Prepare to wait at least 30 minutes to order.

If you want to avoid the lunch rush, have breakfast before coming and have late lunch inside the park instead.

If you really have to dine at a restaurant inside, I recommend the following at Disneyland:

Queen of Hearts banquet Hall in Fantasyland. If you’re on a budget, order the chicken meal. It’s pricey at ¥1500 per meal, but at least you get a half-chicken for it, better than ¥1000 sandwich meals at other places. You can just order extra rice and split the chicken into quarters.

Queen of Hearts banquet Hall’s chicken Meal
At DisneySea, try the following:

Casbah Food Court in Arabian coast . If you’re quality taste instead of price, dine here instead. Their special set meal is at around ¥1500. serving isn’t that big but food is really tasty, something you won’t expect being served at a theme park food court.

Vulcania Buffeteria in Mysterious Island. Chinese cuisine. Impressive, immersive location. If you’re having dinner here, choose a table outside so you have a terrific view of the volcano, which “erupts” every few minutes.

Drinks inside the park cost: ¥300-500. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Kan jeg ta med mat utenfor Disneyland/Disneysa?

YES, but you must consume them at designated picnic areas located outside the park but near the entrance. They have tables and chairs for those who want to bring their own lunch. (As of September 2018.)

However, drinks in cans/glass bottles and alcoholic drinks (regardless of container) are prohibited.

We recommend that you just buy onigiri (rice balls) from convenience stores because they’re easier to eat and don’t require utensils. They also aren’t that hard to carry.

Er selfie -pinner eller stativ tillatt inne i Disneyland/Disneysa?

NEI. The use of monopods, unipods, tripods or selfie sticks are strictly prohibited inside the Disneyland or DisneySea.
