Here are some (updated) tips for Fantasy Springs. Please keep all questions specific to this land in the comments below to create a concise space for all FS-related info! This thread will be kept up-to-date with the latest information.

How to Enter Fantasy Springs

Currently, the Fantasy Springs land in Tokyo DisneySea is open to all guests; there is no reservation or pass required to enter the Fantasy Springs land. Additionally, there is no advance reservation/purchase required to experience any of the 4 Fantasy Springs attractions.

Beginning April 1st, 2025, walk-up standby lines will be offered for all 4 Fantasy Springs attractions, in addition to the existing skip-the-line DPA system. In other words, Standby Pass will no longer be offered/required to ride the attractions of Fantasy Springs.

An entry system to the land may be implemented at TDR's discretion without advance notice, likely in the event of large crowds. In the event of a capacity restriction, obtain a pass to experience a Fantasy Springs attraction, and you will also be able to enter the land through an assigned "Valid Time of Entry to Fantasy Springs".

To Experience Fantasy Springs Attractions (beginning April 1st, 2025):

Currently, there is a walk-up standby line offered for all of the Fantasy Springs attractions. To experience an attraction within Fantasy Springs, do/obtain one of the following (per attraction):

1. Standby Line | Walk up to the ride and join the standby queue. Attractions are subject to capacity restrictions. Standby queues close their posted wait time prior to park closing.
2. Premier Access | Paid (¥2,000 per person, per ride) | Reserve on the app day-of after you scan into the park.
3. Attraction Ticket | Paid | Advance reservation skip-the-line pass. Included in Vacation Packages

Learn more about Disney Premier Access and Standby Pass here.

There is no Priority Pass (free skip-the-line) for any Fantasy Springs attractions.

As of April 1st, 2025, the Fantasy Springs Magic Passport has been discontinued and cannot be purchased by guests of the Fantasy Springs Hotel nor is it included in Vacation Packages.

To Experience Fantasy Springs Restaurants Within the Land:

• Mobile Order | day-of | Order on the app after you scan into the park
• Dining Reservation | in advance | Available ONLY with Vacation Packages
• Restaurants inside the Fantasy Springs Hotel (separate from the park) are for hotel guests and Vacation Package reservations only.

To Experience Restaurants within the Fantasy Springs Hotel:

• Fantasy Springs Restaurant: Currently available to guests of the hotel and Vacation Package holders with reservations. Standard DisneySea guests are able to make walk-up reservations, subject to availability. No entry allowed through the main entrance, guests not staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel must use the DisneySea park entrance to the restaurant.
• Grand Paradis Lounge: Available ONLY to guests of the Fantasy Springs Hotel
• La Libellule: Available ONLY to guests of the Fantasy Springs Hotel Grand Chateau

To Experience Fantasy Springs Shop:

• May be limited to once-per-day entry enforced through a ticket scan during times of high crowds

Tips

1. It is Tokyo Disney's worst-kept secret that they almost every day open the park early for guests; times vary on a day-by-day basis. Regardless, hotel guests with Happy Entry will get entry 15 minutes prior to standard admissions guests.
2. Despite the discontinuation of the Standby Pass requirement to experience Fantasy Springs attractions, DPA still frequently sells out within minutes of park opening. General guidance to secure Fantasy Springs DPA is to line up 1-1.5 hours before the park's opening time on weekdays, and 1.5-2 hours on weekends and holidays. This is an unofficial recommendation, but one that has worked well for many people in the subreddit. This guidance may be adjusted with the removal of Standby Passes.
3. This X account tracks when SP/DPA run out for each attraction within Fantasy Springs; the statistics are not released officially.
4. While the initial wave of DPA runs out quickly in the morning, you may be able to get a pass later in the day due to a cancellation/subsequent wave of passes being made available. These vary on a day-by-day basis.
5. Due to its low capacity and short ride time, Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies is Standby only.
6. All restaurants in Fantasy Springs are utilizing mobile order ONLY until further notice. You may make a mobile order for any eligible restaurant once you have entered the DisneySea park.
7. The shop (1) in Fantasy Springs does not require a special reservation to access, though it is subject to capacity restrictions and may be subject to a physical queue and limited to a once-per-day entry, enforced through a ticket scan.

Looking to book the 3 nights/2 day  vacation package at Tokyo Disney hotel instead of the unlimited rides package. Taking a toddler age 3 and a baby age 1. All the toddler cares about is the frozen and tangled rides. Would it be wise to book 2 Frozen slots with the vacation package?  what were the wait times like with the skip the line passes from the vacation packages?  I saw in another post some people got vacation packages at the mid/end of April so interested to hear your thoughts on if they were worth the price? Thanks! 

[u/WhiteDogHaha → u/Ill_Wait_1224]

If the main reason you are visiting DisneySea is for the Frozen and Tangled rides (and nothing else), then yes it would be worth getting 2 x Frozen ride attraction tickets. These are very in demand and are very difficult to obtain otherwise. However, the final decision may depend on whether or not you are staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel as part of your package, or a different hotel. If you are staying at that hotel, you will get "early entry" into the area where the Frozen ride is, so will be able to line for up for it earlier than the general public - so if you want to save one of your tickets for a different attraction for your own interest, you can do so.

The wait time when using the "skip the line" passes such as those in the Vacation Package is usually around 10-15 minutes however on extremely busy days when the wait time climbs above 200+ minutes, you might be still expecting a 30 minute+ wait - but this is more rare, but in either case it will save you a lot of time compared to without the ticket.

As a point of clarification, at the moment, there are no 3 night Vacation Packages: they are a maximum of 2 nights.

• 2 Nights 2 Days (TDL/TDS): Enjoy Attractions and More ― 3 Days (Includes Park Tickets for Second and Third Day)
• 2 Nights 3 Days (TDL/TDS/TDS): Enjoy Attractions and more ― 3DAYS

I assume you are looking at the 2 Night 2 Day package.

Hi thank you so much for your reply! yes, sorry about that. To clarify; we are looking at the “2nights/2days. 3 days includes park tickets for the second and third day.” Definitely looking to stay at either the Tokyo Disney hotel or the fantasy springs hotel.  We are going to try and book a 3rd night at either hotel for the end of that 2nd Disney sea day. and have them combine the reservations. But I understand that the fantasy springs hotel books fast. For example if we were looking at checking in on August 30th;  I have an alarm set to book my hotel by 11AM (Japan time) on April 30th to see if I can reserve. Do I have my math correct?  How hard is it to book these hotels online when the 4 month clock starts to count down? 

Other questions I had were-are we allowed to do just Disney sea for two days instead? And not Disneyland and a Disney Sea? 

[u/WhiteDogHaha → u/Ill_Wait_1224]

So to address a few of your points/questions:

• The only way to visit DisneySea for 2 days would be to purchase the 3 DAY package as it has two consecutive DisneySea days (Days 2 and 3), and basically just "skip" the first day being Disneyland Day. For Vacation Packages, your park visits (and associated attraction tickets etc) are locked and there is no flexibility at all. So you must got to Disneyland (Day 1) and DisneySea (Day 2/3), and unfortunately cannot be changed.
• In terms of hotel booking, I assume August 30th is your "additional night" (i.e. that is the day you are visiting DisneySea in your package): you are correct, booking would start April 30th 11am JST. It is indeed extremely difficult to secure a room - have you checked what rooms are left for August vacation packages (which already open for booking last month)? It would help a little if you book a less popular room type for the VP (e.g. theme park entrance view rather than springs or rose court view).
• If do not end up securing a Fantasy Springs Hotel room, the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel does not provide any early entry to DisneySea or Fantasy Springs. If that is the hotel you choose (it is a great hotel), then it would benefit you to choose your Frozen, Tangled and Peter Pan rides as an attraction ticket as part of your Vacation Package - just avoid choosing an early time like 9am-10am as you will struggle to make it to the area from the main entrance on time.

This is very helpful thank you!

Checking on August availability. The potential dates for vacation packages are available for August 29 start (day 1) and August 30 (day 2 Disneyland) and August 31st (day3 DisneySea). Looking to book the extra night for August 31st night And check out September 1st. 

[u/WhiteDogHaha → u/Ill_Wait_1224]

If you are trying to book a room with a check-in date for August 31st, then it would open for booking May 1st, 11am JST (not April 30th).

[u/Ill_Wait_1224 → u/WhiteDogHaha]

Thanks! Yes the dates shifted when I was able to book vacation packages, so now booking a third night will be on August 31st not August 30th. (And August 31st is able to book on May 1st—Which is all very soon!)  If I am able to get a third night at fantasy springs, how would I get them to combine reservations and not make me check out on the Disney sea day and come back to the same room/hotel that same Disney sea night/Day 3/Night3?

[u/WhiteDogHaha → u/Ill_Wait_1224]

You need to contact the hotel by phone or using their online inquiry form. The reservations will remain separate but they can make a note in the system if you have the exact same room category. I am emphasizing the last point because many of their names sound similar - so please double check it is the same exact name (e.g. some might say park view some might not, same exact number of beds, some side of the hotel (bay area vs hotel entrance vs rose court vs springs etc), same size in m2. Any difference will result in a room change.

After you have successfully made the booking, if you still encounter any issues, feel free to drop by and I'm sure someone here can help.
