When people ask me about how to plan for a Disney vacation, I offer the analogy of a couple of my close friends. One of them obsessively plans every moment of his life and his vacations. As a result, he is lost when the schedule doesn't work perfectly and he often has no fun because he obsesses over the plan. By contrast, another friend never plans anything, but just goes with the flow. While this is perhaps less obsessive than planning every detail, it is just as bad. When he goes on trips he is always lost, never knows where to go and often spends much of his time trying to figure out what to do. My suggestion is to adopt a happy medium between the two extremes. Sketch out a general idea of what you want to do each day. Check out some of the touring plans offered in guidebooks, and use them as a general guide for how to proceed each day. When to Go The crowds fluctuate throughout the year. The busiest times of the year tend to be around holiday and during the summer. It makes sense to assume that the times kids are off match up with the times of year the park is more crowded. Remember that some of the holiday schedules in Asia are different than those in the United States, so be sure and check to see if you are going during a crowded time. Here are the current hours from now until . Be advised that Tokyo DL shifts its schedule more often than probably any other Disney park, usually expanding hours to meet crowds.
Disneyland Tokyo also offers a variety of special themed events during the year. Parades and ShowsDisneyland Tokyo offers a variety of shows during the year. The parkwide shows are: Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade: A nightly light parade that is similar to the MSEP show. Disneyland on Parade:100 Years of Magic: A anniversary celebration parade.

For detailed show times click here How Long Should I Stay?Disneyland requires two or three days for a thorough visit, not counting travel time. Since every vacation has a time limitation, I strongly suggest you look at what you really want to do and set priorities. Then you can plan a reasonable pace and see and do those things that are most important to you and everyone in your party. Other places to go Disneyland Tokyo is located a short ride from the city, and there are tour packages which offer time at Disneyland and time in the city. You can also see a number of historical sites all around Japan are only a short train ride away, with a station located right at the park gates.Phone Numbers General Information and Park Hours.
