Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to buy Tokyo Disneyland's DPA (paid priority entry)?+

The busier the day, the more wait time you save, so the value goes up. DPA for popular rides sells out fast, so it's best to buy right after you enter. From the day's crowd forecast, HanSanDay tells you which rides to buy DPA for and which free passes to grab.

Are there any free passes I can grab at Tokyo Disneyland?+

Yes. Besides the paid DPA, there are free priority-entry and entry tickets, and HanSanDay also points out the free passes you should definitely grab that day.
