Happy Entry & Hotel Selection Reminder: Please remember that for October 2026, only Hotel MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel guests will get Happy Entry to DisneySea, so take that into consideration when choosing your VP hotel. Also remember, while all hotels provide Happy Entry to Disneyland, as there is no Happy Entry for day of check-in, so the only Vacation Package that can take advantage of Disneyland Happy Entry is the 2 Night 2 Park Days (Park ticket second and third day) package.

Closure alert

Before you book, always check the official closure list (https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/tdl/monthly/stop.html) to see if your favourite ride, parade or show will be down for maintenance before making your decisions.

At Disneyland, the Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall castle walkthrough closes from 2026/10/1 indefinitely.  At DisneySea, Tower of Terror will commence its 1 month+ closure starting 9/28 and won’t reopen until 11/5. Also, despite some speculation that Indiana Jones might reopen sometime in 2026 (because it is coming close to a full year of closure by September 2026, no announcement has been made at this stage). Some examples of closures are below (these are not exhaustive:

• Indiana Jones - 2025/8/18 - TBD [TDS]
• Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall - 2026/10/1 - TBD [TDL]
• The Enchanted Tiki Room - 2026/9/24 - 2026/10/23 [TDL]
• Tower of Terror - 2026/9/28 - 2026/11/5 [TDS]
• Electrical Parade - 2026/10/2 [TDL]
• Sky Full of Colours Fireworks - 2016/10/2 [Both parks]

VP Chaining 101 (i.e. if 2 nights just isn't enough)

The 2N2D packages are great "Swiss army knife" packages that enables chaining of Vacation Packages together to enable longer packages.

You can book them in front (Ticket on Day 1 and Day 2 type) or behind (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3 type) any other VP - even itself - to create a longer packaged vacation. For example, Unlimited VP + 2N2D (Ticket on Day 2 and Day 3) = 3 night 4 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDL/TDS), or 2N3D + 2N2D = 4 night 5 days vacation (TDL/TDS/TDS/TDL/TDS). While technically they remain two separate package reservations, if you are careful to book the exact same room type/specification, it is almost like you had a longer package (just contact TDR to put a note informally linking them after booking).

Booking tips: Can I just set an alarm and go to the site at 3pm JST?

Not really! There is a queue system that is implemented when website traffic picks up. If you start at 3pm you might not get through until hours later. The TDR IT is also very bad when it is under load. See here for some tips: https://www.reddit.com/r/TokyoDisneySea/s/V6EylAKvM3

I manage to book the same room type as a standalone hotel room booking (before or after) my Vacation Package.  How do I notify the hotel to avoid changing rooms?

Once you have made all the reservations, use the official hotel online form (and under "Type of Inquiry" choose "Request to link multiple stays with different reservation numbers and assign them to the same room"), so you don't have to change rooms. The bookings will remain separate. Your VP remains pre-paid and has different cancellation policies and deadlines compared to your hotel bookings (which is deposit only and remainder payable upon check-in).

IMPORTANT: Just double check to make sure you book rooms that has the identical room type/room name/floor range (if applicable), number of beds and room size (in m2) as otherwise it would result in a room change.

Under the “unlimited rides on eligible attractions” package, the description says “Enjoy churros, popcorn, or frozen dessert as much as you like!”  Do I get all of those in my package?

No, unfortunately! The operative word there is the “or”. Your entire party must choose just one type of snack ticket.  That is, either churros, or popcorn or frozen packaged desserts.  If you choose churros then you will not have any popcorn.  Everyone in your party will have the same ticket type and you cannot mix-and-match.  Not all snack ticket type is offered at all times (except during winter months there will not be any frozen dessert option).  See also this post here.

How are Vacation Package costs calculated, how the Beverage Ticket works, and are meals pre-paid?

See this post here.

Do I get popcorn or popcorn bucket with the Vacation Package?

See this post here.

Do I get Happy Entry (early entry) with a Vacation Package?

Not necessarily. It depends on which hotel you are booking as part of the package.
