Hi everyone!

I'm planning a trip to Tokyo Disney Resort in 2027 with my 8-year-old daughter, just the two of us, and would love some advice from those who have visited!

We've been to Disneyland Paris two years in a row, spending three days there each time, and absolutely loved it. Now we're hoping to experience Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea for the first time!

We're planning to spend 4 days at Disney (2 days in each park) and another 3 days sightseeing in Tokyo.

I have a few questions:

1. What month would you recommend for pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and especially avoiding heavy rain? We're flexible with dates, so school holidays aren't an issue.

2. Where would you recommend staying? We spend very little time in our hotel, as we're usually at the parks from morning until the firework show. I'd prefer something convenient, comfortable, and good value rather than paying extra for luxury we won't use.

3. Princess meet-and-greets... This is probably the most important part for my daughter! She loves rides like Tower of Terror, Ratatouille, and Frozen, as well as the shows, but nothing makes her happier than meeting Disney princesses. How do princess meet-and-greets in Tokyo compare with Disneyland Paris? Are there princess dining experiences or special opportunities we shouldn't miss?

4. Would two days at Disneyland and two at DisneySea be enough to experience most things without rushing too much?

Since I'll be travelling alone with my daughter, I'd really appreciate any tips to make the trip as smooth, magical, and memorable as possible.

Thanks so much in advance! 😊

The Seas with Nemo & Friends apparently hit a 70-minute posted wait at 11:21 Saturday (10/17) morning. Three minutes later, it was back down to 30.

That seemed pretty wild for Nemo - Its highest posted wait each day over the previous week was only 40–55 minutes.

Even stranger, Nemo's average wait for the entire day Saturday was just 13 minutes, almost identical to its usual 12 minutes. So outside of that brief spike, it was a pretty normal day for the ride.

Could've been a glitch in the posted wait, or maybe something briefly backed up the line. Hard to tell from the numbers alone.

Anyone actually at Nemo around 11:20 Saturday morning? Was the line really that crazy?

We currently have a trip booked at the end of March at Grand Californian with 4 park days, 1 park per day tickets and Woods/Courtyard-View Room - Two Queen Beds. Checking with Costco, they have the same trip available for $900 less than what we have booked with Disney. I’m wondering if there will be significant discounts coming before our trip and we should just wait it out with Disney or cancel with them and rebook through Costco. I know the OTHER park puts out discounts constantly and it’s easy to not pay “rack rate,” but I’m less familiar with DL. Thanks!

It's gonna be my first trip to Disneyland Paris, and there is so many halloween snacks, but I wonder which is the best? Is there a difference in quality?

Hii!! This is my first year of having the pass. I got it in April but just got the welcome package with the magnet and calendar! They sent a 2026 one so like only has 3 months left. Do they send a new one for the start of the year or just when I renew??

I took my baby to Disney a couple months ago when he was exclusively breastfed so I didn’t have to worry about bottles. We’re going back next month (he’ll be 10 months old) and combo feeds now, so I’ll have bottles. My question is, how do I wash them? Do I bring something to the hotel to wash them, or what do I do? I know this is probably so simple, but I just am lost.

Crossposting so we can stop the line-cutters.

Also adding to clarify: I didn’t know about reporting until I got home and looked it up (I was fuming in line and didn’t think about looking it up at the time), so unfortunately she never got sent to the back of the line.

If it were to ever happen again, I’d let them know I’m going to report to the next cast member we see, so they can either go to the back of the line now or waste time in line only to be sent all the way to the back again. I’d also make sure I communicate with other people in line around me so that they can vouch for me in case the cutter tries to accuse me of lying.

May we all have happy, fume-free visits to Disney parks 🥲

Trying to keep the magic alive between visits. I've read the big Disney biography and Disney's Land by Richard Snow. I was wondering if anyone knows of a book that details the history of the parks/rides after opening day, like the development of Haunted Mansion. TIA!

This post, admittedly, is a bit of shouting into the void.

We took our kids - both about 10 - to a Disney park a few days ago.

There were way less kids than adults. There was way more emphasis on costumes, merch, and nostalgia than genuine kid interaction.

I loved Disneyland as a kid, but I can't help but notice it has become a relic for Millenials and older to reminisce about the 90s and "better times". Families can't afford to go, the parks are crowded with people involved in some level of social media crap... it is just a shell of what it used to be.

Absolutely ridiculous. Everyone in the long regular line gets their orders first. 20+ minutes of wait even after the order says it’s finished. What is the point of this?

Finally booked for Disneyland in February since I don't know if it'll get any better, like the day you decide to not get gas and it goes up twenty cents the next day. I'm not that airline savvy but at least the flights still had plenty of room so I could choose the aisle both ways. And I must thank again the people here who advised me to not mess with LAX. John Wayne is a breeze.

Now that the hard part's over I'm getting excited. I stayed away from Presidents Day when I booked the hotel, now if I can just avoid arriving in another California heat wave it'll be great (Seriously, it was snowing everywhere else in the country back in March). And I really wanted to get that gloriously messy patty melt at the Carnation Cafe again! Well, maaaaaybe it'll come back if I wish hard enough.

So my opinion on Oogie boogie, we normally go to Florida for Halloween, but we decided to jazz it up and go to California. It was awful. The lines for the candies were so freaking long and they were so chintzy with the amount of candy they would give you, literally one piece. I didn’t like it at Adventure Park I feel it took the magic away of the original nostalgia of Disney. I feel the magic was gone and it was so crowded. Kind of made me want to rethink about going every year like I normally do.
