Tokyo Disneyland has always had two amusement parks, so it's usually too late to play in one day, and the two parks have different ways of playing. The following is a detailed introduction to the relevant play strategies of Disney Ocean, which can be seen by friends who are going to play here. Preparation

What preparations do you need to make before you come to Disney Ocean?

① avoid mixed time!

before deciding on the day to go to Disney Ocean, it is recommended that the busy period of chick Park be taken first. Although there is no idle period in Tokyo Disneyland all year round, there are even restrictions on admission, especially in the peak season. Avoiding these peak seasons as much as possible can improve the travel experience by several levels.

The average waiting time in previous years, green is Sea

Generally, there are the following special busy periods with admission restrictions:

August: it is just in time for the summer vacation, and it is also a traditional Japanese holiday. There are various activities, and crowds will come from all directions for more than a month.

November: In November, Disney will welcome large-scale activities of Halloween and Christmas, which can be said to be the most crowded season in Disneyland, and the number of people is terrible on both rest days and working days.

February to March: especially in March, it's terrible. This is the Japanese spring break. Every year, Disney will issue student discount packages, and there are many activities and limited souvenirs for graduates in spring. Therefore, tourists exploded at the end of February and reached its climax at the end of March.

In 219, the busiest period that will come next will definitely be the "ten consecutive holidays" in Japan on May 1. The 7 th to 9 th days after the ten-day break, as well as the non-rest days in May and June, are better choices.

② Purchase of admission tickets

For the time being, friends who book packages with the hotel are not considered here. Let's take one-day tickets as an example. There are three kinds of one-day tickets for Disney: one-day tickets, advance tickets (specified date) and advance tickets (unspecified date).

We strongly recommend that you choose to make a reservation, which can save a lot of time! Pre-sale tickets without a specified date may be rejected if they catch up with the day when the number of people entering the park is limited, so it is recommended to buy pre-sale tickets on a specified date after determining the date in advance.

Pre-sale tickets will be sold 2 months in advance, and can be booked on the website or using Disney's official app. However, all these channels need to have my own credit card recognized in Japan, which is not very friendly to overseas tourists, but there are many online agent shops that can help you easily.

If you buy tickets online, you can print them out directly and put them in a small folder like this. This QR code is not only an admission certificate, but also useful when you get an express pass (FP).

Another way is to buy in a convenience store. Just print the receipt through the automatic coupon issuing machine (or printer in case of 711) of the convenience store and pay at the cashier.

The convenience stores in Japan that can sell Disney tickets are as follows:

7-Eleven

Lawson

Familymart

Ministop

Sunkus

The tickets printed by convenience stores now also have QR codes, which support scanning codes directly in the park to get FP.

In addition, starting from February this year, you can choose e-ticket by logging in to the official website or APP directly through your mobile phone, and the QR code can be displayed directly on your mobile phone, so you can scan your mobile phone directly after entering the park and receiving FP.

the advantage of this is that you don't have to carry a ticket around, but it would be a tragedy if the phone ran out of power!

③ Download the official Disney APP

If you want to play Disney, it is recommended to download the official APP! Because it really works!

through this APP, you can check the waiting time of each amusement project, make an appointment for the restaurant in the park or the hotel in the park, participate in the lottery of the tickets for the performance, and more importantly, it is a portable map! With the APP, you can confirm your position at any time, and you don't have to be afraid to take a wrong detour to all parts of the park ~ A comprehensive explanation of the garden facilities

From Disney Ocean Plaza through the alley, facing the big volcano (below the words Mediterranean Harbor in the picture above), where you will choose your garden order, clockwise or counterclockwise? (1) clockwise route

Go clockwise, and the first one is the American coastal area.

There are two super-popular projects on the coast of the United States-the Scared Ancient Pagoda and Toy Story crazy games House. These two projects can be regarded as representative projects of Disney Ocean!

Therefore, if the goal of your coming to Disney Ocean is to dominate the super-popular large-scale projects here, it's right to start here first!

for these two projects, according to the utilization time of FP, you can get one FP first, and then go to the other team.

Scared Ancient Pagoda

is probably one of the most thrilling projects in the whole Disney Ocean! Take the elevator to the top floor of the haunted hotel, but who knows that the elevator (a project similar to a jumper)

Visitors under 12cm in height are not allowed to take it.

visitors who cannot sit still by themselves are not allowed to ride.

tourists who suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, discomfort in the spine and neck, and are prone to carsickness and seasickness, as well as tourists whose illness may worsen due to taking amusement facilities, are not allowed to ride.

pregnant women are not allowed to ride.

Passengers who can't sit still by themselves are not allowed to take

to Discovery Port. It is recommended to receive the FP of the project "Nemo and Friends" first, because the FP of this facility will usually be distributed early.

Finding Nemo —— the ocean world of Nemo and his friends

This is a highly interactive facility. You can enter the underwater world by submarine, and the rich five senses experience makes people surprise gift.

visitors under 9cm in height are not allowed to ride.

visitors who cannot sit still by themselves are not allowed to ride.

There are two highly recommended facilities in the Lost River Delta, which are also quite exciting! These two items will also issue FP in the afternoon.

Indiana Jones-Crystal Skull Magic Palace

The adventure with Indiana Jones, being chased by Crystal Skull, the patron saint of the angry magic palace, is very thrilling!

visitors under 117cm in height are not allowed to ride.

elderly tourists are not allowed to ride. ② Anti-clockwise route

The anti-clockwise route is more suitable for friends of all sizes who want to get in touch with Disney characters!

You can see the little mermaid Ai Lier in the Mermaid Reef Lake, and then you can see Mickey and his friends in the Lost River Delta.

The welcome trail and the welcome dock of Mickey and his friends are located in the Lost River Delta. Although there is no FP, the waiting time is usually not too long, about one hour.

The Mermaid Reef Lake and the Arabian Coast also have a lot of lovely and safe facilities, which are suitable for children to enjoy themselves. Parents who bring their children to play, recommend the counterclockwise line!

finally, there is the mysterious island area in the middle, and there are also two attractive large-scale projects.

Two Wan Li under the sea

This project is OK for children! Please hold the baby who can't sit still by himself by his parents.

going deep into the seabed by a small submarine and enjoying the wonders of Atlantis sleeping at the bottom of the sea, you will encounter a little thrilling "trouble" on the way, but it will be solved soon ~

The queue time of this project is generally not very long, so you can queue up directly without wasting FP.

geocentric exploration tour

During geocentric exploration in a dark passage, the adventure car that suddenly speeds up on the way makes the process exciting. A very interesting project, I suggest not to miss it!

visitors under 117cm in height are not allowed to ride.

visitors who cannot sit still by themselves are not allowed to ride.

tourists who suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, discomfort in the spine and neck, and are prone to carsickness and seasickness, as well as tourists whose illness may worsen due to taking amusement facilities, are not allowed to ride.

pregnant women are not allowed to ride.

elderly tourists are not allowed to ride. Make good use of Express Pass Tickets

Express Pass Tickets (FP) are the essence of being able to play through Disneyland with the highest efficiency. Being good at using FP can save more waiting time than others.

Let's get to know FP first.

There are two rules for the time to receive FP.

There is a two-hour rule: after receiving the FP of one project, you need to wait two hours before you want to receive the FP of other projects. For example, you can get the FP of the Frightened Pagoda at 1:, and you can get the FP of Angry double god at 12: at the earliest.

※

Actually, this 2-hour rule is not dead! Depending on the time and number of people entering the park, it may change. When the park is just opened, it may take 4 minutes to get the next one. So check the time written on the FP in your hand!

usage time regulation: after receiving the FP of a certain project, if you want to receive the FP of the same project again, you need to wait until the usage time of the current FP arrives. For example, the current FP utilization time is from 11: to 12: , so you can get the FP of the current project again after 11: at the earliest.

projects that are usually queued for 6 minutes can be played in 5-1 minutes with FP. It feels great to swagger past in front of the queue! !

the location where FP is collected

FP is collected free of charge. Look around the facilities where FP can be collected, and you will find such an FP ticket issuing place:

Scan the QR code on your mobile phone or ticket face on the small mouth of the machine, and you will get the FP ticket. The FP coupon issuing machine of each facility looks different, which is compatible with the facility and the surrounding environment. It's very interesting!

Projects that can use FP in Disney Ocean

Crying Ancient Pagoda, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mermaid Reef Theater, Furious double god, Toy Story crazy games House, Two Wan Li under the Sea, Magic Lantern Theater, Indiana Jones-Crystal Skull Palace, Finding Nemo and Friends' Ocean World.

FP's practical skills

The advice from Disney's veteran is to lead the FP before queuing at any time!

This is because after one FP has been received, the next FP can be released in 2 hours, and in the process of queuing, these 2 hours have passed! After finishing the current project, you may get the next FP ~

You can see this time display at every FP voucher issuing place. If you install the APP, you can see the waiting time and FP time of all projects in the park, and make a more reasonable plan. And now you can also get FP through the APP, which saves the time to queue up at the coupon issuing machine and improves the efficiency to a higher level ~~

I also want to remind everyone that if the waiting time is less than 3 minutes, please queue up! It's not cost-effective to waste FP every two hours on this!

Notes on use

There is nothing special to pay attention to in the use of FP, as long as you can go at any time within the time indicated above (usually 1 hour), and you don't have to wait in a hurry when the time is running out. There is a special FP entrance, and STAFF will wait for you there. However, it should be noted that during the break of the performance show of Disney Ocean, the flow of people is very large, and the access roads will become mixed. At this time, if it is far from the facilities and the road is delayed, it will lead to a late step. . . Therefore, it is necessary to play a certain amount in advance! The performance show of Disney Ocean

The performance show of Disney is not a sideshow, but an important part of the park! Few people come to Disney without watching the show.

Here are some major performances of Disney Ocean!

① Disney's colorful night sky

This is a new project from March 219, and it is a Disney fireworks show every night! Although it is only 5 minutes, it is as magnificent as a dream.

you don't need a seat, you can watch it in the park. The opening time in April is basically from 2: 3 to 2: 4, and the schedule for next month will be published on the official website every month.

② Fantasy light show Fantastic

The highlight of Disney Ocean, the water light show at night, is as gorgeous as you can imagine! Giant water curtain, laser, flame, light, * * * together build a huge and gorgeous magic world.

One hour before the opening, people will take a good seat with cushions and wait for the performance. There are three recommended locations.

Mickey Square has the widest view, and you can see the whole show. But the position in the front row will soon be occupied, so start early!

There are steps in Rido Island, so it won't be blocked by the people in front!

In the aisle in front of Venice boatmen's snacks, you can enjoy the performance at the nearest distance. If you grab the front row, you can get a meal of Disney stars (one-on-one interaction for fans)!

Mediterranean Harbor/about 2 minutes

③ The performance of the dynamic big band

from Disney All-Star is like being on Broadway in Disney World.

Every day, all the seats in the first performance are not seated in the right place. You can see them when you come. From the second performance, the seats in the venue are divided into those seated in the right place (seats on the first floor) and those seated in the wrong place (seats on the second floor). Visitors who choose the right seat need to participate in the lottery.

you can draw lots directly with the APP! If you are lucky enough to be elected, you can sit in a good position on the first floor instead of waiting in line to watch the performance. If you don't win, you will have to queue up for admission.

of course, the APP is in hand, and all these are available.

[ venue/performance time ]

Broadway Music Theater/about 3 minutes of shopping

When you come to Disney, you must do as the Romans do and buy yourself some special "Disney" costumes. There are different kinds of souvenirs here every year and every quarter, which is also one of the reasons why many Disney fans want to live in the park ~

About the souvenirs around Disney, we can take them out alone for 5, words, but our main purpose is not the cute little things of Amway Disney, but to tell you how to buy all the things you want after playing more efficiently!

① Make full use of the performance waiting time

The performances mentioned above all have waiting time, especially before watching the main light show in the park, it is necessary to occupy a seat at least one hour in advance. This is the best shopping time.

in Disney, you can't occupy a place with items, but it's completely OK as long as someone is there. As long as you are not alone, you can go shopping separately, some people occupy space, and some people shop alternately. This is the most time-saving method!

In the Disney Park, there are shops in every area, among which the largest store "Emporio Mall" and the largest candy store "Valentine's Dessert" mainly sell.
