🕛 Day 1: DisneySea & Toy Story Hotel
Morning: DisneySea – American Waterfront
In this area, you’ll also find garlic shrimp-flavored popcorn and a seasonal sundae, both favorites of my daughter. Kid-friendly attractions such as Toy Story Mania! and Turtle Talk make this zone especially popular with families.
You can also find plenty of Duffy and Friends merchandise here at McDuck’s Department Store, which isn’t sold at Tokyo Disneyland, making it a must-visit for collectors.
Noon: Soaring after lunch → Check in at Toy Story Hotel Tokyo
After lunch, head to Soaring: Fantastic Flight for a breathtaking world tour. In the afternoon, check into Toy Story Hotel Tokyo—perfect for a mid-day break before the evening fun.

Evening: Fantasy Springs rides & fireworks
Head to the new Fantasy Springs area to experience the worlds of Frozen and Tangled. End the night watching the fireworks from the park before returning to your hotel.
The popularity of Fantasy Springs rides has begun to calm down, so weekday or nighttime waits are generally shorter. However, Frozen Journey remains extremely popular—consider purchasing DPA depending on the day’s crowd levels.
🕛 Day 2: Tokyo Disneyland Halloween
Morning: Tokyo Disneyland – rides & gourmet
With Happy Entry, enter the park 15 minutes early and head straight to the popular Great Waffle Cone shop. Enjoy freshly baked waffles with special Halloween decorations for breakfast.
Afterwards, while the park is still relatively empty, ride seasonal attractions like the Halloween version of Haunted Mansion and explore family favorites. For more details on kid-friendly rides, see our dedicated ride guide article.
Don’t miss limited-time seasonal snacks and desserts.
Noon: Lunch & rest at Toy Story Hotel Tokyo
Avoid the lunch rush by returning to your hotel. Enjoy a relaxing lunch, explore the hotel’s playful design, and discover hidden Toy Story details throughout the property.

💡 If you’re staying multiple nights at a Disney hotel, choose the same room type to avoid switching rooms. This allows you to rest at the hotel without waiting for check-in and even leave your luggage safely when heading back to the park—making consecutive-night stays highly recommended.
Evening: Halloween Parade, rides & shopping
Experience the magical Tokyo Disneyland Halloween Parade, featuring your favorite Disney characters in festive costumes. After the show, enjoy some last rides and shop for souvenirs before returning to your room.

🕛 Day 3: Tokyo Sightseeing – Akihabara & Asakusa
Morning: AR Hide & Seek at Toy Story Hotel → Check out
Before leaving, enjoy the AR Hide & Seek activity exclusive to Toy Story Hotel guests. This experience can be accessed by scanning the QR code printed on the hotel’s information leaflet located near the front desk. Once activated, you can explore the hotel to find hidden toys scattered around the rooms and lobby. Then check out and store your luggage at Tokyo Station.
Afternoon: Akihabara → Asakusa
From Maihama Station, take the JR Keiyo Line directly to Tokyo Station (about 15 minutes). Use the station’s coin lockers or luggage delivery service to store your bags—many travelers prefer this convenient option when moving around Tokyo with kids.
Next, take the JR Yamanote Line from Tokyo Station to Akihabara (about 5 minutes). Explore the electric town’s anime shops, figure stores, and capsule toy machines. You’ll find popular stores like BookOff and Animate, packed with goods from Japan’s most beloved anime series. It’s a must‑visit spot for children who love Japanese animation.
When you’re ready, hop on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line from Akihabara to Asakusa Station (about 15 minutes). You’ll arrive right near Kaminarimon Gate—the entrance to Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Street.
It’s an easy and smartphone-friendly route: all stations are well-connected on Google Maps, and English signage is clear for navigation.
Return to Tokyo Station for your journey home.
💡 Secrets to a Successful
- Stay at Toy Story Hotel Tokyo. The hotel is highly recommended for families. Guests can use the Fantasy Springs Hotel Gate after park opening, which provides direct access to Fantasy Springs. This makes it easy to rest at the hotel midday and return for evening fun.
- Avoid the peak crowd hours (12:00–18:00). Both parks are most crowded during this time. Plan to take a break at your hotel, have lunch, or let the kids nap. Once the crowds thin out later in the afternoon, return to the park and enjoy rides with shorter wait times.
- Use Disney Premier Access (DPA) wisely. Popular attractions often sell out of DPA tickets early in the morning, so purchase them soon after park entry. This helps you skip long standby lines and maximize your ride time.
- DisneySea’s most popular rides and typical waits:
- Soaring: Fantastic Flight – around 130–150 minutes on weekends, 90–120 minutes on weekdays.
- Toy Story Mania! – about 60–90 minutes on weekdays, up to 120 minutes on weekends.
- Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey – around 140 minutes even on weekdays.
- Disneyland’s most popular rides and typical waits:
- Beauty and the Beast: Magical Tale – about 90–120 minutes on weekdays, 120–150 minutes on weekends.
- Baymax’s Happy Ride – roughly 70–80 minutes on weekdays, 100–120 minutes on weekends.
Planning your day around these patterns helps you avoid long waits and enjoy a smoother, more relaxed visit.
