Whether you are a Disneyland veteran or a first-timer, the first decision you need to make is which of the two Tokyo Disney parks you want to visit. As a general overview, Tokyo Disneyland caters more to families and kids while Tokyo DisneySea is popular among couples and young adults.
It's our favourite Disney park in the world. DisneySea rides are more adult-orientated than at its sister park Tokyo Disneyland, and there are many other attractions that are great to do without kids like have a cocktail in a 1920s lounge on a fancy cruise liner (yes, really!).
DisneySea can be tackled in one day but by far the best way to experience it is with two days. Definitely arrive early, around 30-45min before park opening so you can get the first FastPasses and get in line for popular attractions before they get too long.
Ticket prices at the Tokyo Disney Parks are much lower than Walt Disney World Park tickets. Disney World prices vary based on the day you visit but run $109-$189 daily. Meanwhile, Tokyo Disneyland tickets run around $58 per day. The stark price difference translates into the Park as well.
Tokyo Disney Resort doesn't offer a 1-Day Park Hopper (read more about park tickets in our guide), but there is a way around this. This way you're able to enjoy everything Tokyo DisneySea has to offer during the day, then head over to Tokyo Disneyland after 18:00 (6 PM).
Do they speak English at Tokyo Disneyland? Yes, they do speak English here. Cast members and park staff talk in English and other languages. However, do note that the English-speaking members aren't always available.
If you plan to visit the whole of Tokyo Disney Resort, the ideal length of visit is a full four days, so you'd have enough time to visit Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. You can even stay at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel to save time on the commute and make the most of your trip!
