One does not simply walk into Fantasy Springs it is heavily guarded by not only cast members but behind the Gates of the DPA and standby pass it is a Fool’s errand to forge ahead without a [Music] plan hey explorers are you wanting to visit Fantasy Springs the newest expansion at Tok Disney C well in this video I’m going to explain the different ways that you can gain access to this new area because One does not simply just walk in Fantasy Springs is the newest expansion at Tokyo Disney sea which open on June 6 2024 and it is the eighth Port of Call in the gorgeous Tokyo Disney sea park inside Fantasy Springs you’ll find four attractions Rapunzel’s lantern Festival an an Elsa’s Frozen Journey Peter Pan’s Neverland adventure and fairy Tinkerbell’s busy buggies there’s also places to eat so you can go to Lookout cookout which is themed after the lost boys then we have the stly duckling which is themed after Tangled and the Royal Banquet of Arendelle which of course is frozen there’s also a little snack stand oaken’s okay foods and a little popcorn stand where you can get the newest popcorn buckets and you can also try the roast beef popcorn but wait that’s not all there’s also a brand new hotel called the Tokyo Disney C Fantasy Springs hotel which is art newvo style and it is the second hotel inside Tokyo Disney C the other one is the hotel miror Costa how awesome is that what is that Duffy I should tell him about the Disney Premier access and standby pass because I mention a lot throughout this video and it could be confusing if I don’t explain it first yeah I agree so throughout the video I’m going to be talking about the Disney Premier access and standby pass I’m going to be referencing it a lot so really quickly these are services that are done through the Tokyo Disney Resort app so make sure you have that downloaded ahead a time and if you have any tickets make sure you scan them into the app just so you’re well prepared the Disney Premiere access is a paid service that you pay per ride to basically skip the line at these attractions think of it as a lightning Ling that’s probably the best way to describe it the standby pass the best way to describe it is it’s sort of like a virtual queue it doesn’t cost you anything extra it is included with your ticket and the standby pass and Disney Premier access are available for the different rides inside Fantasy Springs and for both of these Services you have to be scanned into the park you can’t do it outside of the park you can’t do it ahead of time none of that it’s once you’re inside the park on the day of your visit now if you’re someone who doesn’t have a smartphone for whatever reason or maybe your credit card is not working there are ways to buy the Disney PR access and get a standby pass just talk to one of the cast members and they’ll be able to help you usually you have to go to Guest Services the easiest and most expensive option is getting yourself a Tokyo Disney resort vacation package and this works with any of the Tokyo Disney Resort Hotels so that includes the Fantasy Springs hotel Tokyo Disney C Hotel miror Costa The Toy Story Hotel the Tokyo Disneyland hotel the Disney ambass hotel and the Tokyo Disney celebration hotel as long as you book a vacation package with any of those hotels you get a special one day Fantasy Springs magic ticket and this magical ticket gets you guaranteed access into Fantasy Springs you can come and go as much as you want all day it also includes your entry into the rest of Disney sea as well so you can pop in to fanasy Springs first thing in the morning you know do a couple of rides and then go enjoy the rest of Disney SE and then come back to Fantasy Springs in the evening this is the most hasslefree way of doing this another perk of getting the vacation package is you can also book the restaurant inside the Fantasy Springs Hotel they have a buffet in there that is a pretty nice perk because regular day guests or people that are justing at the other Tokyo Disney Resort Hotels they can’t get into that restaurant uh it’s typically reserved only for guest staying inside the Fantasy Springs hotel but if you have a vacation package you can book it so there’s nothing for you to do in terms of Disney Premiere access standby pass none of that stuff you don’t have to do any of that for Fantasy Springs cuz this magical ticket you can ride everything as many times you want you can go in as many times as you want in and out it’s very simple and hassle-free now the only downside to this is vacation packages are not cheap but if this is a once- in a life time trip this is probably the easiest way to make sure that you can get into Fantasy Springs as for when vacation packages become available you can check the Tokyo Disney Resort website on the reservation website they do put out a little News Bulletin when they’re opening up the vacation packages because they open up them up in month blocks they open them up differently than just hotel reservations hotel reservations are 4 months ahead of time for each date whereas vacation packages they open them up in month blocks so just recently they opened up the month of October and I just want to reiterate you have to get the vacation package to get this ticket if you just book a regular Disney hotel except for the fancy Springs hotel which I’ll get to in a second you don’t have access to this special ticket so just keep that in mind another option is being a guest at the Fantasy Springs hotel which you may have guessed if if you’re staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel you have guaranteed entry into Fantasy Springs you can come and go from Fantasy Springs as much as you want because you have an exclusive entrance into the area because the Fantasy Springs hotel is in Fantasy Springs not only can you use the entrance that is inside the hotel there’s also an archway that you see from the Montreal station that based off of my research is only for hotel guests as well so when you’re staying at the Fantasy Springs hotel as I mentioned you have guaranteed entry but you also have the ability to buy this special one-day magic passport that I mentioned with the vacation packages now this is an extra cost it’s not included with your stay you do have to pay extra for it but it is an option for your day at Tokyo Disney C so if you’re staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel I mean why wouldn’t you buy this to get into Fantasy Springs so just make sure you do this now the fancy Springs hotel is a little difficult to get a reservation for because everybody wants it as I mentioned a little bit earlier regular hotel bookings open up 4 months ahead of time for your date so what’s today I’m recording this on June 3rd so June July August September October so October 3rd is opening up so today if I wanted to book two nights I would get on the website and pray that I can get one um and you can book up to five nights and remember with the Fantasy Springs Hotel there are two sides there is the fantasy ch and the grand chatau side and of course the Grand Chateau is going to cost a lot more than the Fantasy Springs side I don’t know why I pointed a Duffy now we’re going to get into the more complicated and a little more convoluted way to get into Fantasy Springs but I’m going to do another costume change that’s better the other option to get into vantasy Springs and this is probably what a lot of people are going to end up doing is having to get a Disney premier access or standby pass now this is for people that haven’t done the Disney vacation package or staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel this whole next section is for people that have a one-day ticket for Tokyo Disney C so once you have your ticket for Tokyo Disney C you’re going to want to line up really early to try and get yourself a Disney Premiere access or standby pass it’s hard to say how quickly they’re going to go um I can imagine it’s going to it’s going to fluctuate a lot but based off of what I’ve been seeing with the soft open and everything uh they go really quickly so you should probably get there 2 to 3 hours ahead of time even earlier before the official Park open and the parks do typically open up the gates earlier than the posted time so for the last I think few years the opening time has been for 9:00 a.m. but depending on the crowd level they may actually start letting people in a lot earlier so they could start letting people in at 8:15 8:30 8:45 it does change on a regular basis and before the regular day guest the happy entry people are going to be allowed into the Park first so they’re going to have first dibs on the premier access and the standby pass but from June 6th onwards only guests staying at the hotel miror Costa and the Fantasy Springs hotel are going to have that early entry into Tokyo Disney C if you’re a hotel guest at any other the Disney hotels whether you’re a regular hotel guest or Disney vacation package guest you are not going to get the early entry into Tokyo Disney C you’re only going to have it for Disneyland so if you’re staying at the hotel miror Costa you’re going to get in 15 minutes early before everybody else and they do tell you when that entry is ahead of time they’re going to give you a slip of paper that tells you when you can go in so then you’re going to have first dibs on getting the premier access and standby pass a quick refresher so the Disney Premiere access is the paid option for skipping the line so think of it as a paid lightning Lane that’s effectively what it is and it’s all done through the app then the standby pass is think of it as a virtual queue essentially it’s included with your ticket meaning you don’t have anything extra to pay for but you do have to do it through the app and all of this can only be done once you inside the park you don’t do it ahead of time time you have to have everyone’s tickets scanned into the park you have to physically go through those turn Styles and scan everybody’s tickets into the park otherwise you are not going to be able to get a Disney Premier access or standby pass that’s very very important very important so once you’re inside the park get yourself a Disney Premier access or standby pass I recommend going for the Disney Premier access first I know it’s the paid option but you’re going to have a shorter wait time for the fraction that you pick it for I would say either try it for Peter Pan or frozen those seem to be the more popular ones and based off of what I’m seeing the Disney Premier access is actually running up first cuz there’s probably less of them so go for that for one of the attractions and then after that get a standby pass for another attraction and once you have either the DPA or the standby pass you are going to be given a time that you can go into Fantasy Springs it’s going to say it r your app what time you can actually go into the area so you cannot go into the area before that just keep in mind that you cannot come and go from Fantasy Springs you’re going to have to get another return time meaning you’re going to have to buy another Disney Premier access or get a standby pass and the chances of you being able to do that are a little slim right now because everyone wants to get into Fantasy Springs so they’re probably going to go really quickly I’ve been seeing as of now with the soft opens that uh the Disney Premier access and semi pass have lasted like 10 15 20 minutes tops once guests are allowed into the park the standby pass is available for all four of the attractions so we have Anna Elsa’s Frozen Journey Rapunzel’s lantern Festival Peter Pan’s Neverland adventure and fairy Tinkerbell’s busy buggies you can get another standby pass once every 2 hours or if your previous standby pass has already started you you can check in the app it’ll tell you the time that you can get your next stand by pass as for the Disney Premier access it is available for all the attractions except for Fairy Tinkerbell’s busy buggies is only available for on anas’s Frozen Journey Rapunzel’s Tangled Festival I’m saying these names way too much we’re just going to leave that one in and Peter Pants Neverland adventure and it costs 2,000 Yen which is like $155 something like that per person and you can only ride it once and you get access to the special Priority Access line and you can buy another Disney Premiere access 60 minutes after you bought your previous one or if the time has already started for the one that you just bought you just check the app again it’ll tell it’ll have the time on there for you when you can get your next one you cannot line up for any of these attractions without having a Disney Premier access or a standby pass so you can’t just walk up to the ride and wait in line that’s just not an option right now if this sounds sounds really stressful uh well it kind of is but if you want to maybe increase your chances a little bit um and pay just a a little bit more you know you don’t want to pay for the vacation package or the Fantasy Springs hotel but you don’t want to rely on just a one- day ticket you could stay at the hotel Mir Costa as I mentioned that is one of the only hotels that is going to get the 15minute early entry into Disney SE other than the Fantasy Springs hotel after June 6th so those 15 minutes is going to make a lot of difference because you’re going to have first dibs on buying the premier access and getting the standby passes it’s also going to take you about 20 minutes to walk to veny Springs from from the Mir Costa which is near the front of Disney sea everyone’s going to be walking that way it’s it takes about 20 minutes I timed it it’s 20 minutes it’s it’s that Park is a very weird shape and just remember there’s a few things you need to keep in mind once you are inside Fantasy Springs you will need either Disney Premiere Act or standby pass to be able to ride the attraction so if you don’t have one of those you can’t just get into a regular standby line because they don’t have that yet don’t know how long that’s going to last for how long this system is going to be in place but I expect it to be at least for the rest of the year it it could go longer we really don’t know so you just have to keep an eye out on the Tokyo Disney Resort website and we’ll also update you here on our Channel and also on our website I want to reiterate you’re probably going to have to get there really early just get there ear as early as possible if you have a regular day ticket if you are someone who has the special Fantasy Springs magic ticket that I mentioned you can just Waltz right in pretty much so you don’t need to line up early but if you’re on a regular day ticket yeah you should probably get there minimum 2 hours but try and get there earlier and also just keep an eye on Twitter cuz people do post about this stuff and you know things change so it’s best to maybe check a couple days before you’re planning to visit just to kind of see what the situation is for the time being you are going to have to do mobile order for the restaurants so just keep that in mind once you’re inside the area then I would do the mobile order and pick a time slot obviously that would work for you and hopefully you can try all the different food my advice would be to get a mobile order for the Royal Banquet of Arendelle first because that one seems to be the more popular option and also the food is more hearty so you’ll be full a little bit longer and you can try the other restaurants uh maybe L later in the evening I think that’s probably the best course of action so try the Arendale restaurant for lunch and then one of the other ones for maybe a late lunch early dinner late dinner you know whatever works for you getting a mobile order for one of the restaurants doesn’t get you into the area so don’t do any mobile ordering until you know you can get into Fantasy Springs because just because they have a mobile order doesn’t mean they’re going to let you in you have to have your time to go in to Fantasy Springs to pick up your order or down at the restaurants and just remember things might change since the recording of this video I will try and keep our guide on our website up to date so you can scan the QR code on the
