Disney Ocean Preparation Work
Avoid wasting time!
Before deciding the date of going to Disney Ocean, it is suggested to start from the busy period of Chicken Park. Although Tokyo Disneyland has no free time all year round, there are even admission restrictions, especially in the peak season. Avoiding these peak seasons as much as possible can improve the travel experience by several levels.
Average waiting time in previous years, green is the sea.
Generally speaking, there are the following special busy hours with restricted access:
August:
It's summer vacation and a traditional holiday in Japan. There are all kinds of activities, and people will come from all directions for more than a month.
165438+ 10 month:
165438+ 10. In October, Disney will welcome Halloween and Christmas, which can be said to be the most crowded season in Disneyland. Whether it is a rest day or a working day, the number of people is terrible.
February to March:
Especially in March, it's terrible. This is spring break in Japan. Disney issues student discount packages every year. In spring, there are many activities for graduates and limited souvenirs, so tourists broke out at the end of February and reached a climax at the end of March.
The busiest period must be the "ten consecutive holidays" on May Day in Japan. 7-9 days after a ten-day break, and non-rest days in May and June are all better choices.
Buy a ticket.
For the time being, I don't consider friends who have booked a package with the hotel. Take a one-day ticket as an example. There are three kinds of Disney one-day tickets: one-day tickets, advance tickets (specified date) and advance tickets (unspecified date).
It is strongly recommended that you choose to book, which can save a lot of time! Pre-sale tickets without a specified date may be rejected if they catch up with the date limiting the number of people entering the park, so it is recommended to confirm the date in advance and buy pre-sale tickets on the specified date.
Pre-sale tickets will be sold 2 months in advance and can be booked on the website or using Disney's official application. But these channels need to be paid by credit card in my own name, and they are recognized in Japan, which is not very friendly to overseas tourists, but there are many agents on the Internet who can help you conveniently.
If the tickets purchased online can be printed directly and stuffed in a small folder like this, this QR code is not only an admission pass, but also used when picking up the express pass (FP).
Another way is to buy it at a convenience store. Through the automatic coupon issuing machine of convenience store (or the printer in the case of 7 1 1), you can print the receipt and pay at the cashier.
Japanese convenience stores that can sell Disney tickets are as follows:
7 1 1 convenience store
Lawson (surname)
Familymart supermarket
MINISTOP
Sunkus
Now the tickets printed by convenience stores also have QR codes, which support the direct scanning of codes in the park to obtain FP.
In addition, starting from February this year, you can log in to official website directly or choose an e-ticket through the APP. The QR code is displayed directly on the mobile phone, and you can scan the mobile phone directly when you receive FP in the park.
The advantage of this is that you don't have to walk around with a ticket, but it's a tragedy if the phone is dead!
Download the official Disney application.
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 various amusement projects, book restaurants or hotels in the park, participate in the lottery of performance tickets, 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 of taking a wrong detour when visiting the park ~
Comprehensive explanation of garden facilities
All right! Now that we have prepared and bought tickets, let's walk into the ocean gate of Disney!
Cross the alley from Disney Ocean Plaza and face the big volcano (below the words Mediterranean port in the above picture). Here you can choose your access order, clockwise or counterclockwise.
Clockwise route
Walking clockwise, the first place you come to is the coastal area of the United States.
There are two super-popular projects on the American coast-stupa and Toy Story crazy games House. These two can be regarded as re.
So, if your goal of coming to Disney Ocean is to lead the super-popular large-scale projects here, let's start here!
These two projects, according to the utilization time of FP, can receive one FP first, and then queue up to receive the other.
Probably one of the most exciting projects in the whole Disney Ocean! Take the elevator to the top floor of the haunted hotel, but the elevator is there. (It's a jumping machine-like project)
Visitors under the height 102cm are not allowed to ride.
Tourists who can't sit by themselves are not allowed to take the bus.
Tourists suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease, cervical discomfort, carsickness and seasickness, as well as tourists who may aggravate their illness by taking recreational facilities, are not allowed to ride.
Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.
Please don't bring old tourists.
Toy story crazy games Wu
Put on 3D glasses, ride in a chariot and challenge the wonderful shooting game with Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
There is no height limit, and children can have fun!
Passengers who can't sit by themselves are not allowed to ride.
When you come to Discovery Harbor, it is suggested to collect the FP of' Nemo's and Friends' Ocean World project first, because the FP of this facility is usually sent out early.
Finding Nemo: Finding Nemo and the Marine World of Friends
This is an interactive facility. You can take a submarine to enter the underwater world, and the rich five senses experience will surprise you with gifts.
Visitors under 90 cm in height are not allowed to ride.
Tourists who can't sit by themselves are not allowed to take the bus.
Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.
The lost river delta has two highly recommended facilities, which are also very exciting! These two items will also be issued FP in the afternoon.
Jones Crystal Skull Magic Palace, Indiana.
The adventure with raiders of the lost ark, being chased by the angry crystal skull of the patron saint of the magic palace, is a very thrilling journey!
Visitors under the height of 1 17cm are not allowed to ride.
Tourists who can't sit by themselves are not allowed to take the bus.
Tourists suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease, cervical discomfort, carsickness and seasickness, as well as tourists who may aggravate their illness by taking recreational facilities, are not allowed to ride.
Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.
Please don't bring old tourists.
Angry double god
Anticlockwise line
The counterclockwise route is more suitable for friends of all shapes who want to contact Disney characters!
You can see the little mermaid Ai Lier in Mermaid Reef Lake, and then you can see Mickey and his friends in the Lost River Delta.
Mickey and his friends' welcome path and welcome pier are located in the lost river delta. Although there is no FP, the waiting time is usually not too long, about 1 hour.
Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast also have many lovely and safe facilities suitable for children to play. Parents who bring their children to play recommend the counterclockwise route!
Finally, there are two attractive large-scale projects in the middle of the mysterious island area.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
The children in this project are ok! Please hold the restless baby.
Take a small submarine to the bottom of the sea and enjoy the wonders of Atlantis sleeping on the bottom of the sea. There will be some thrilling "troubles" in the middle, but they will be solved soon ~
The queuing time of this project is generally not very long, so you can queue up directly to play without wasting FP.
Journey to the center of the earth
The geocentric exploration in the dark passage and the adventure car that suddenly accelerates on the way make the process exciting. This is an interesting project, don't miss it!
Visitors under the height of 1 17cm are not allowed to ride.
Tourists who can't sit by themselves are not allowed to take the bus.
Tourists suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease, cervical discomfort, carsickness and seasickness, as well as tourists who may aggravate their illness by taking recreational facilities, are not allowed to ride.
Pregnant women are not allowed to ride.
Please don't bring old tourists.
Be good at using fast pass
ExpressPass(FP) is the essence of being able to enjoy Disneyland with the highest efficiency. Being good at FP can save more waiting time than others.
Let's meet FP first
There are two rules for the time of receiving FP.
2-hour rule: after receiving the FP of one project, if you want to receive the FP of other projects, you have to wait for 2 hours. For example, at 10:00, you can get the FP that scares the ancient pagoda, but only at 12:00 at the earliest.
In fact, this two-hour rule is not dead! ! Depending on the time and number of people entering the park, there may be changes. The first time you enter the park, the next trip may take 40 minutes. So check the time written on your FP!
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 comes. For example, if the current FP utilization time is 1 1:00 to 12:00, the FP of the current project can be collected again after1:00 at the earliest.
Usually, you can wait in line for 60 minutes. If you hold FP, you can play for 5~ 10 minutes. I feel great when I strut in front of the queue!
Where to collect FP
FP is free. If you are looking for a facility to collect FP, you can find an FP distribution office like this:
Scan the QR code on the mobile phone or the ticket on the small opening of the machine to get the FP ticket. The length of FP ticket vending machines in each facility is different, which matches the facilities and surrounding environment. Very interesting!
Projects that can use FP in Disney Ocean
Scared Ancient Pagoda, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mermaid Lagoon Theater, Furious double god, Toy Story crazy games House, Two Wan Li under the Sea, Magic Lantern Theater, raiders of the lost ark-Crystal Skull Magic Palace, Finding Nemo-Friends' Ocean World.
Practical skills of family planning
Disney Slick's advice is, whenever, take FP first, and then line up!
This is because it takes 2 hours to send the next FP. In the process of queuing, these two hours have passed! Maybe you can get the next FP after finishing the current project ~
You can see this time display at every FP coupon issuing place. If you install APP, you can see the waiting time and FP time of all projects in the park, and make more reasonable planning. And now you can get FP through the APP, which saves the time of queuing in front of the coupon dispenser and improves the efficiency by another level ~ ~
Also remind everyone that projects that can't wait for 30 minutes are still waiting in line! It's not worthwhile to waste FP on it every 2 hours!
Pay attention to use
There is nothing special to pay attention to when using FP, as long as it is within the time indicated above (generally 1 hour), you can go at any time, and you don't have to wait until the time is up. There is a special FP entrance where the staff will wait for you. However, it should be noted that after the Disney Ocean Show, there will be a large flow of people and the channels will become mixed. At this time, if it is far from the facilities, the time on the road will be delayed, resulting in a late step. So, hit a certain amount in advance!
Disney Ocean Show
Disney's performance is not juggling, but an important part of the park! Few people come to Disney and skip this program.
Here are some major performances of Disney Ocean!
Disney's colorful night sky
This is a new project in March 2008, and there is a Disney fireworks show every night! Although it only takes 5 minutes, it is as magnificent as a dream.
You don't need a seat. You can watch it in the park. The opening hours in April are basically from 20: 30 to 20: 40, and the schedule for next month will be announced in official website every month.

Disney's all-star performance is like Broadway in Disney World.
The first show every day, all the seats are empty, so you can watch it when you come. Starting from the second performance, the seats in the venue are divided into two floors (first floor seats) and two floors (second floor seats). Visitors who choose the right seats need to take part in the lucky draw.
You can draw directly with the APP! If you are lucky enough to be elected, you can watch the performance from a good position on the first floor without waiting in line. If you don't win, you will have to queue up for admission.

Broadway Music Theatre/about 30 minutes
: When you come to Disney, you must do as the Romans do and buy yourself some special Disney clothes. There are different souvenirs here every year and every quarter, which is one of the reasons why many Disney fans want to live in the park ~
You can say 5000 words about souvenirs around Disney, but our main purpose is not to give you cute little things from Amway Disney, but to tell you how to buy everything you want while playing more efficiently!
Make full use of the waiting time of the performance.
Speaking of previous performances, there is a waiting time, especially before watching the main light show in the park, it needs to be occupied at least one hour in advance. This is the best shopping time.
In Disney, you can't occupy a place with things, but as long as someone is there, it's okay. As long as you are not alone, you can go shopping separately. Some people take up space and others go shopping alternately. This is the most time-saving method!
In Disneyland, there are shops everywhere. The largest store "EmpolioMall", the largest candy store "Dessert for Couples", the Disney Mall specializing in Duffy series, and the largest clothing store "Figaro Clothing Store" are all concentrated in the "Mediterranean Harbor" area where the show is located, making shopping super convenient ~
Pick up your APP!
Another powerful function of Disney's official application is to buy souvenirs. Souvenirs sold in all the shops in the park can be found in the APP online store.
You can search for the goods you want or the nearest store. You can use the APP to shop and ask for delivery before 23:30 on the day of admission.
The advantages of shopping with APP are: first, there is no need to queue up for checkout; Second, you don't have to carry a big bag home; Third, you can also confirm the inventory of goods, and it is clear at a glance whether it is out of stock. Friends who want to see it with their own eyes can also scan the bar code in the store and record it in the APP Mall. Finally, check out with the APP, then mail it to the hotel or homestay, and wait back easily ~
