Fantasy Springs is Tokyo DisneySea’s newest area. It opened on June 6th, 2024. When it did, it had a completely different system from the rest of the park – but what’s it like now? Our guide clears up the confusion and explains what you find in Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea.
This post is updated if major changes occur, and checked once a year for accuracy. The last check and update was in January 2026. Sources: Personal experience from visiting and the Tokyo Disney website.
Okay, first thing to clear up – Fantasy Springs is not a whole new park in the Tokyo Disney area, it is part of Tokyo DisneySea, and your ticket to Tokyo DisneySea includes your entrance to Fantasy Springs.
What’s In Fantasy Springs?
Fantasy Springs is based on a few different stories – Frozen, Peter Pan, and Rapunzel – and has four main ride-based attractions…
Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure: A boat ride with 3D effects that you wear VR goggles to enjoy. You’ll join Peter Pan, Tink, and the Lost Boys to rescue John from Captain Hook. IMHO, this is the best ride in Fantasy Springs and should not be missed.
Fairy Tinkerbell’s Busy Buggies: Tinkerbell is now also an entrepreneur and delivering packages around the fairy folk – and you’re going to help her do it in one of her Busy Buggies. This ride aims more at smaller children than adults.
Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival: Take a boat ride in this Tangled theme ride as you follow the love story of Rapunzel and Flynn. This is beautiful, but very short.
Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey: A boat ride based around the Frozen story – complete with songs (in Japanese). The lines to this are the longest in the park, and the DPA is the hardest to get. It regularly sells out before 9 am – but do keep checking throughout the day, as they do sometimes release new ones.
As well as the rides, there are also three restaurants, a snack bar, and one shop dotted around the three themed areas.
And you must not miss checking all the details in the amazing fountain above. This was actually one of the highlights of Fantasy Springs for me; the details are amazing.
Do You Still Need to Book for Fantasy Springs
No. When Fantasy Springs launched, you couldn’t just walk inside. The only way to even see it was to have a special timed entry pass. This is no longer the case – you can walk in and ride the rides just like you can the rest of the park.
However, the queues can be long. As I check this at 2.30 pm Japan time on January 2nd – a very busy day for the parks – Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure is at a 100-minute wait, Rapunzel is at 140 minutes, Frozen is at 200 minutes!!!
This is one of the most crowded days of the year for the parks, though, so don’t panic too much.
Normally, you’ll be looking at 60-90 minutes for Peter Pan and Rapunzel, but even on a quieter day 2-3 hours for Frozen isn’t unusual.
Don’t Forget to Buy Your Disney Tickets
If you’re within two months of your trip, why not order them now so it’s done? Unlike the Disney site, Klook takes all foreign credit cards. Plus, if you’re buying other tours or tickets, add the code JAPLANEASEKLOOK at checkout and you could save up to 10 per cent.
T&Cs apply; Tokyo Disney tickets and USJ tickets are not available for discounts.
Using Premier Access Passes in Fantasy Springs
If you want to reduce your queueing times in Fantasy Springs, buying Disney Premier Access passes is the way to go.
These allow you to pay a fee to buy a pass that lets you join a shorter queue at a set time.
Three of the rides in Fantasy Springs have the DPA option – Peter Pan’s Neverland Adventure, Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey and Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival. They each cost 2000 yen.
As I said above, Frozen runs out fast – if you want to try and get this, hit the app as soon as you get in the gate. Even then, it might have been snapped up by guests with early entry.
The other two will normally last until mid-morning on a normal crowd day.
It’s important to know that Tokyo Disney Resort does not have public wifi inside the park; you’ll need to have internet access on your phone to access the queue skipping passes and the map.

If you do want to use DPAs, especially for Frozen where time counts, you’ll need to make sure your tickets are loaded into the app, especially if you bought them from Klook, and understand the process of buying the pass so you’re not confused. Our guide on how to do this is here.
2026 Update
The Fantasy Springs rides are now also part of the Attraction Ticket selection in the Vacation Packages. This means that if you buy a Vacation Package, you can book your times for them in advance, which takes away the stress of getting a pass for Frozen!
Vacation Packages are more expensive than buying tickets, hotels and passes alone, so you do pay for convenience. Our guide to Vacation Packages helps you decide if they are the right choice for you, and explains the different ones on offer.
How Long Should You Leave Between DPAs?
This is a common question in my Tokyo Disney tips group on Facebook, especially for those with a Vacation Package, as you must book your pass times when you book the package, so let’s answer it here.
Try and book all three rides around the same time period. Book the first two 30-minutes apart, and the last one an hour after the window starts on the second. You have a one-hour window to enter the rides, so this allows a buffer for any unforeseen hold-ups.
Enter the first ride as soon as your time window starts. Assuming nothing odd happens, you should be out shortly before your second window begins. You may then have a 60-90 minute gap until the second one, but you can use this to wander around the shops, to see the amazing fountain and maybe grab some food – although I admit, everything I’ve eaten in Fantasy Springs has been pretty bad!
The Arabian Coast area is also close to Fantasy Springs, so you could nip out there and ride Sindbad, which usually has short lines (and is not to be missed).
Do NOT get tempted into the Magic Lamp Genie Theatre – this says it has short wait times, but that’s just to get into the pre-show area. The whole thing actually takes ages. I was really stressed during it as I was sure I was going to miss my Fantasy Springs slot! It’s also on my list of things to skip at the parks for other reasons.
The brave among you might want to shrink the gap between rides 2 and 3, but I hate being stressed in the queue if it’s being slow, so I prefer to leave a longer gap.
Don’t Forget to Buy Your Disney Tickets
If you’re within two months of your trip, why not order them now so it’s done? Unlike the Disney site, Klook takes all foreign credit cards. Plus, if you’re buying other tours or tickets, add the code JAPLANEASEKLOOK at checkout and you could save up to 10 per cent.

Eating in Fantasy Springs
If you do have time to kill in Fantasy Springs, you might be tempted to dine here – again, things work a little differently. All of the dine-in restaurants require you to order via mobile ordering.
These are the Snuggly Duckling, which offers burgers – including a Plant-Based option, Lookout Cookout, which has, erm, an eclectic menu, and the Royal Banquet of Arendelle, which has set menus and is a bit more pricey.
IMHO, there are better places to eat in DisneySea than Fantasy Springs.
The Lost Boys Cookout had the weirdest selection of food I’ve ever seen in one meal (although admittedly it didn’t taste terrible), and the bacon burger at the Snuggly Duckling was not good.
I didn’t try The Royal Banquet of Arendelle because it costs 3500 yen a set – but, I admit, the food there doesn’t look bad.
If you don’t want to dine in, there is also Oaken’s Fine Foods, which sells a snacky meat-filled bread that actually doesn’t look bad – sadly, I had already eaten at both Snuggly Duckling and Lookout Cookout, when I got here so there was no room left to try this, but I will make sure I grab one on my next trip this year.
The Popcorn wagon in Fantasy Springs is also the one that makes me actually want to try popcorn – I’m not a fan normally. It’s Roast Beef flavour, and it smells AMAZING.
Which Hotels Include Happy Entry to DisneySea?
Happy 15, aka Happy Entry, is a perk allowing guests staying at a Tokyo Disney hotel to enter the parks earlier than other guests.
Having Happy Entry to DisneySea can help you jump the queues a bit if you want to snag DPAs to Frozen, or get to Fantasy Springs before the crowds.
Right now, the gate to Tokyo DisneySea is having some building work done, so they have reduced the number of hotels that have early entry. Only Hotel Miracosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel have early entry to Tokyo DisneySea – and, while the work is underway, the time of this might be reduced to as little as five minutes instead of the normal 15.
Make sure you ask for the exact timings at the hotel so you don’t miss out.
Another change while the gate to DisneySea is being renovated is that those staying at Toy Story Hotel can use the Fantasy Springs entrance into DisneySea, which, instead of taking you into the front of the park, brings you in right in the middle of Fantasy Springs.
The bad news is that this perk doesn’t start until 10 am, which isn’t early enough to beat the crowds, as the park can open much earlier than the official opening time.
However, you can also use this gate to leave the park at night. This is important as the queues for Fantasy Springs can drop off once the evening show on the lake starts. So, if you’re staying in Toy Story Hotel and not worried about seeing Believe! Sea of Dreams – head to Fantasy Springs when the show starts, and you might get on the rides with shorter queues AND exit the park the quick way!
Interestingly, I’ve seen a bit of a change in booking patterns since Happy Entry changed. Fantasy Springs hotels are always sold out, and MiraCosta is selling out, but rooms at Toy Story Hotel seem to be easier to get than they used to be.
I feel people are switching to MiraCosta because it includes Happy Entry to DisneySea, increasing the chance of getting DPAs for Fantasy Springs.
Booking Fantasy Springs Hotel
The Fantasy Springs Hotel is split into two parts; Grand Chateau, which is Tokyo Disney’s most expensive and luxurious accommodation, and Fantasy Chateau, which is one of the Deluxe Resorts.
Grand Chateau also includes perks like eight free Attraction Ticket passes per room to jump the queue on rides and four tickets per room for shows (which are normally entered via a lottery). You do still have to buy a park entry ticket, though. Plus, you have the option to book VIP tours (for a fee).
All of the rooms at Grand Chateau overlook Fantasy Springs and have a balcony or terrace.
In the Fantasy Chateau side of the hotel, there is a mixture of rooms, including those facing the road and Tokyo Bay and some with park views. The rooms that can offer park views are Rose Court Park View or Springs Side Park Grand View (the other rooms on the Springs side may have partly obstructed views).
As I update this, there are a handful of rooms available for Fantasy Springs Hotel in January (the rest of the time it’s sold out). To give you an idea of pricing, for a random date in January 2026, a room on the Fantasy Chateau Bay Side costs 90,000 yen. The Grand Chateau for the same dates starts at 285,000 yen!
Hotel rooms for Fantasy Springs go on sale four months before the date of your stay. It sells out fast, so it’s important to be online as soon as rooms are released at 11 am Japanese time if you want to snag one.
You can book rooms via the Tokyo Disney website here.
Can You Visit Fantasy Springs Hotel If You’re Not Staying There?
Not right now. You can only enter the hotel if you are a registered guest, or have booked dinner in the Fantasy Springs Restaurant as part of an eligible Vacation Package.
Again, this is super busy, so if you see a slot when you book your Vacation Package, snap it up – although note, you can only access the restaurant, not other areas.
If they don’t fill up with hotel guests, Fantasy Springs Restaurant does something open bookings for park guests so it’s always worth asking.
The other restaurants in the Fantasy Springs Hotel are currently only open for hotel guests.
So, that’s it. Our guide to Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea. I hope it answered your questions and cleared up any confusion.
