How do you get into the Snugly Duckling & other Fantasy Springs restaurants?

Pro tip, these restaurants require a mobile order to even go inside, so just order a drink and you can go in and explore!

Fantasy Springs Soft Opening facts

Not sure if the soft opening is now a permanent thing until the official opening on 6th June. I guess it gives them the freedom to close it if they need to, so you just need to check on the day.

You can reserve a return time for rides or mobile ordering using the standby pass option jn the app. They are not available via DPA or PP.

The area if it is open is like any other area, you can just walk in and explore, follow the crowds 

Bizarrely, the gift store is open but only for browsing, my wife tried to buy a t shirt and they said nothing is for sale, so you can look and not touch!

If you eat in the Arendelle cafe I would avoid the fish pie! I will eat almost anything, but this was not nice.

Our Facebook member Ex Ahh Lee generously shared her wonderful photos from the Fairy Tinker Bell’s Busy Buggies ride with us – just take a look at these gorgeous installations on this new ride inside Fantasy Springs at Tokyo Disney Resort’s Disney Sea.

“The ride is a flat kids outdoor track ride. You feel like a small fairy when you walk through the sky high flower wait line display.” – Ex Ahh Lee

Today was our first park day. We’re staying at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel so we got Happy Entry. I’ll detail out our Fantasy Springs-filled day (sorry, long post warning).

We left the hotel at 7:45 am and got to Disney Sea around 8 am and were close to the front. Around 8:15 am, Cast Members started announcing that Fantasy Springs is open and we’ll need a Standby Pass to go on any of the rides. I made sure my family’s tickets were scanned into the app so I could book a Standby Pass as soon as we scanned into the park.

We were let into the park at 8:45 am and I immediately booked a Standby Pass for the Rapunzel ride with a return time of 8:50-9:50 am. It took like 10 min to get to Fantasy Springs because it’s way at the back of the park. To our delight, all guests were allowed into Fantasy Springs, you didn’t have to show proof that you had a Standby Pass to enter. They were also not offering DPA for any of the rides today, Standby Passes only.

The Rapunzel ride was a walk-on and was such a cute ride! As soon as we scanned in, I booked another Standby Pass for the Tinkerbell ride with a return time of 9:15-10:15 am. This ride was also a walk-on. Cute ride but don’t need to ride it again. I then immediately booked another Standby Pass for the Frozen ride with a return time of 1-2 pm. The Peter Pan flight was temporarily closed from park opening.

We then spent the next 2 hrs exploring and taking pictures. There were a lot of people but it didn’t feel crowded. It was easy to take pictures of everything. We walked over to the Fantasy Springs merch store next to the hotel and noticed that most (if not all?) of the merch wasn’t available for sale until 5/28.

At 11:30 am (2 hrs after I booked my Standby Pass for Frozen), I booked another Standby Pass for the Peter Pan ride with a return time of 3:45-4:45 pm.

We came back at 1:30 pm to go on the Frozen ride and wow, Fantasy Springs was a madhouse! Long lines for everything, even taking pictures! The Frozen ride had a wait time of 130 min and the Rapunzel ride had a wait time of 80 min. We opted to not ride the Frozen ride because we didn’t want to wait in the hot sun for 2 hrs.

We ended up missing our Peter Pan return time but to our delight, it went down some time during our return time and we got a multi-experience pass to use anytime for the rest of the day. The app told us what rides we could redeem it for and it could even be redeemed for the DPA rides (Journey to the Center of the Earth, Toy Story Mania, and Soarin’). We were able to check the wait times in the app and Peter Pan showed a 30 min wait. We probably only waited 10 min. This ride is a 3D ride and I had to take the glasses off a couple of times to avoid getting motion sickness. Overall, a great ride too.

We didn’t eat at any of the restaurants but they had mobile order and time slots booked up quickly.

I wish we could have seen Fantasy Springs lit up at night but we didn’t have the energy to make it back there for a 4th time. All in all, today was amazing and feel free to ask any questions!

The post Fantasy Springs early opening review! appeared first on Holidayplanning.com.au.

Just look at this amazing collection of Fantasy Springs souvenirs and merchandise she photographed when given access to the shop today! New Disney Fantasy Springs Ears, Ride miniatures, plushies – just gorgeous!

Unfortunately the merchandise seems to still be under embargo, at least at one store visitors were not allowed to purchase the items, however it’s reported that at other times people have been allowed to purchase the new merchandise but are limited to three Fantasy Springs labelled items.

According to the official website, Fantasy Springs souvenirs are to officially be on sale from the 28th of May. The official Fantasy Springs opening date is June 6 2024. No doubt guests will need to secure standby passes to access the stores inside Fantasy Springs, including the new Fantasy Springs Hotel gift shop.

Until then we may all have to look – but not touch!

The post First Fantasy Springs store merchandise viewing today! appeared first on Holidayplanning.com.au.

No expensive Vacation Package or Fantasy Springs Passport was necessary today. All the guests of Disney Sea were required to do was book ride passes on the Tokyo Disney App.

Whilst there had been a media preview day and some staff previews and random passes allocated this week, this was the first time that the public had been allowed all at once.

Will this early access into Fantasy Springs continue? It’s hard to tell. For now, Tokyo Disney Resort are keeping their Fantasy Springs access days and times under their hat, with the official opening day of June 6th still three weeks away.

Certainly the new Fantasy Springs Hotel has remained closed to this point, and isn’t expected to open until June 6, along with the official theme park opening day celebrations.

Lucky Meze Pembroke of our Facebook group managed to ride all the rides on offer today. Here are her beautiful photographs of the stunning grounds of Fantasy Springs, and those amazing rides…

We rode Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure!

We were able to get in to the Peter Pans Never Land Adventure .

We were talking to a cast member and she told us the Peter Pan ride is the best in FS, so we booked that one. I don’t know if it’s the best out of the other rides as I haven’t been on them but it was the best ride I have ever been on!

Fantasy Springs snacks

It’s 3D, the experience is a cross between Soaring and Star Tours. AMAZING!

Unfortunately the other rides were all booked before we had a chance to book again. But we were still stoked to have this opportunity!
