Step by Step Guide to Booking a Tokyo Disney Resort Vacation Package for Disneyland and DisneySea

[@brownsense1]

I went through the booking while watching the video... I was just selecting random times... I don't understand the timing method they have on there, but mines came out to be like $2,984.10 for me and my son. That's not bad at all. I will be booking a vacation package when I go. and an additional stay via the klook app. Probably going to squeeze in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka as well.

Thank you for the tutorial! Though it looks like a fantasy springs room was available when you went to go book! I was hoping you would catch that haha. I'm sure it's gone by now...

How do you add nights to the hotel? Packachage caps you at 2 nights.

[@inkwadnito966]

Best video on the topic that I have seen on the Internet! Thanks so much for the walkthrough. Question: To my understanding, they release an entire month's worth of VPs all at the same time?

[@krizabergas-goy8308]

Thanks for this Annie, so very helpful and simplified! Just to clarify 1) after booking or paying for the VP, you can change the hotel later on? And pay the difference? Say I book Toy story but a slot opens up for FS then I can switch and pay difference? 2) how did you add another night at the hotel? Did you book in advance thru reservation? Or you requested at the hotel? 3) what is the checkout time? You mentioned check in time at 4pm, right? Planning for Apr 2025 travel, with a 2-year old so getting all the tips I can get to iron things out. Dont want to stress out on a supposed vacation haha

@@evewood8499 Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful! Be sure to check out my other video on what to expect during your Vacation Package for more tips and tricks for your visit!

Annie, i have a quick question. Can you go over when you picked up your vouchers given that the hotel stay is on the night between the two parks? What time are you supposed to check in / check out while also being at the park? It's a bit confusing about the logistics behind all this. This means you need to took a different hotel the day before and the day after.

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

We arrived in Japan and had booked a night at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel before our Vacation Package started. When we checked it to Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, they gave us the 15 minutes of Happy Entry slip for the next day. Since the park tickets are included in the vacation package, we asked the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel if we could go to get our package early. They called the Fantasy Springs Hotel to let them know we would be coming by and we hopped the monorail to the Fantasy Springs Hotel to pick up our package. This was around 5 PM the day before check in. The Cast Members had our package ready and waiting and then we went back to our hotel. The next day, we got up and went right to Tokyo Disneyland with our Happy Entry, started using our vacation package vouchers, and had a great day. (There’s a free luggage service to transfer your bags to your next hotel. Check out on your tv and then tell it where you want your bags taken. Leave them in your room and they will be taken over to your next hotel and delivered to your room for free.) Once we decided to leave the park, we went over to Fantasy Springs Hotel and did the actual check in for the hotel. Our luggage was waiting for us and we went right to our room. You may have to get a different hotel before your Vacation Package starts, but they can help you arrange to pick it up early. And there’s no worry about dealing with your luggage when changing hotels. I hope that helps! I will post a short here on my channel to show you how to do the luggage transfer!

[@LopaSHott]

@@AdventuringWithAnnie thank you Annie! Youre the only one posting about this luggage situation, which is causing me so much stress. We are doing the vacation package at toy story, and staying at the hilton before and after. Do they do the transfer outside of disney hotels?

[@YaMa6364]

Hi annie! for eligible attraction i'm wondering does it mean I can only one of the many rides listed or I can ride all in the list?

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

Hi! When booking the package, you will select the attractions you wish to ride, and it will be good for one time to skip the line at each attraction you selected. Once in the park, you can purchase additional passes for other rides. And you can always use your Happy Entry to get in line for a ride before the park opens! Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@laurasan16]

Hi! Thank you for the tutorial! I’m going in September with the vacation package and this was very useful. Just one question, how do you book the viewing spot for the parade? I don’t know how to do it and can’t find it on this video. Thank you so much! ☺️

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

The parade spots can be very hard to get, so if it doesn’t show up as an option, it might not be available. I would try again, though. The vacation packages are now offering the new fireworks show debuting next month as part of the package. There may be new options if you check now.

[@BaroniFamily]

Did the booking list Surname then First Name? It does on mine.

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

Yes, I am pretty positive it did.

[@ivanlara8446]

Hello Annie, thank you for your videos, they are very helpful, where and when can you pick up your vacation package once you have bought it?

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

Typically you pick it up the day you check in at your hotel, but I usually recommend people go to the hotel the day before and pick it up. That way you have your park tickets your first day! I have another video here on my channel with what to expect and tips and tricks. Check that out for more!

[@WeldAndWhimsy]

How many days would you recommend for a first timer to tokyo disney? 1 each park? Or if we do the vacation packaged do you think we could experience mostly everything? (With not waiting in lines much) Thanks!

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

@@WeldAndWhimsy with the Vacation Package, you will get a lot done, especially with a 3 day package. If you can’t get a package, I would say try for 2 days at each park. They don’t sell park hoppers, but they do sell after 5 pm tickets if you bought a full day ticket for one park and an after 5 pm for the other.

Thank you for this video as well!! I see that the vacation packages are very heavy on the Fantasy Springs land which is great. Would you say that it took up most of your DisneySea day? Were you still able to ride all the other rides you wanted to in DisneySea or did it take up most of your time (unlimited rides)? I see from other videos that the walk around the park is a LOT, and aside from the 2-3 rides we can book for DPA, the rest would be standby so I just want there to be a good balance (if that makes sense) -- or honestly might even consider just booking another day of DisneySea without any FS access. Would you recommend booking specific times for certain rides? Like for BATB, would booking for an afternoon time slot be better so I can take advantage of shorter queues in the morning? Would like to hear your experience regarding all the other rides you did not get any DPA access to! It's also great to know you can edit your vacation package hotel choice after booking! Would this also be the same with restaurant reservations? Can I change those timeslots after as well if I want to? last question about the FS merch!! I heard that with a DPA or Standby pass, you're only able to purchase 1 of each item and enter only once into the gift store per day. Is that true if you have the VP as well? I would like to buy some extra goodies for friends but there seems to be a limit and wanted to know if the VP bypasses that. Thank you sm!

[@Janice_]

I'll be looking to book early next week!

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

Great questions! I think you have plenty of time to experience Fantasy Springs and enjoy DisneySea. It’s a big park though, so 2 days wouldn’t be a bad idea, but we were able to experience Fantasy Springs and ride all of the rides multiple times in less than 2 hours. We had late times for Toy Story Mania and Soaring, but you can also book more passes through the app on top of your paper tickets with the package. So we could have booked Tower of Terror and Journey to the Center of the Earth through DPA and also Indiana Jones and Aquatopia through Priority Pass in the app. (There are other rides you can book, but these are the ones I would recommend). We had plenty of time to do the rides and take a gondola ride and wander the park. But for your first time, it still might be better to go 2 days at DisneySea since it really is massive. I don’t think you’d see everything in a day. But if you had to go for one day, you will be able to see all of Fantasy Springs and also get out into the park for more. For your package times, I would say middle of the day is good. You can also book other passes in the app in the morning and that will give you more freedom to take advantage of short lines in the morning and early reserved times in the app. For other rides, the morning is good and also a few hours before the parade starts. Many people sit and wait for the parade at night, so the lines are shorter when most people are waiting for the parade. Fantasy Springs merchandise was one transaction per ticket, which wasn’t a limit of one item, but a limit of one entire purchase per park ticket. So we were able to purchase 4 of the same pin (and other things), but if I went to the store later to buy something else, I would be denied because they scanned my ticket when I made my one transaction earlier. Make sense? You can buy multiple of items, but you can’t go to the store and make another purchase without a different park ticket. If I had wanted to buy more, I would have needed my mom’s ticket. You can go in and look around and not buy anything though, you’re not restricted on entry. I hope I answered your questions!

@@AdventuringWithAnnie Thank you so much Annie!!! I appreciate your help and time. It'll be my first time in Japan too, so I'm glad I'm planning all this out now. I think I'll go with booking those DPA rides in the afternoon and enjoy FS in the morning. (:

[@karenthomasson3710]

We want to book for March, but right now it shows no availability for any day in March.

[@Poohbear0387]

March dates open up on 10/3 @ 3pm Japan time. So tonight (10/2) if you happen to be in the US. Good luck!

[@awoosh13]

I know the DisneySea hotels are some of the most coveted ones? Do you know what time each day/week they drop the new packages onto the website? We will be eventually doing this and are really nervous. Thank you for your video by the way! It's so informative. I'm a visual learner so it helps A LOT

[@AdventuringWithAnnie]

They seem to update the website almost every day. I think around 2 PM to 4 PM EST the website is usually unavailable while it updates. It’s best to check after this update for new availability. And I will say, when I was uploading this video, I checked the same dates to try to make the price cheaper and it gave me 5 different hotel options I didn’t have when I filmed. So I would tell you to check availability whenever you have a chance! We originally booked with MiraCosta and when Fantasy Springs Hotel became available, we were able to switch. Hope this helps!

@@AdventuringWithAnnie it really does, thank you!
