We were there on a 2nd week of December 2019. Took about an hour train ride to reach Maihama station, collect our tickets and headed to the entrance. Despite it was a Tuesday, there were lot of people headed to Disneyland (or Disneysea), tourists and local alike. We headed to the Tomorrowland first, managed to get fast tickets to 'Monster Inc' while we ride on the Star Tours. Space Mountain was closed while we were there. We managed to catch the Christmas Parade at 10.30, ate our lunch and waited for the Dreamin Up Parade at 1.20pm and the Night 'Dreamlights' Parade too. (Tip: get a seat 1 hour before the Parade starts). We didn't have luck on the Lottery for both the Shows (located in Tomorrowland), hence we skipped those. We queue up for the Dumbo Ride in Fantasyland and managed to ride on Big Thunder Mountain (about 40-45 minutes queue) and went for rides with less queues; Toon Park, Island raft, Treehouse, Western Railroad, Pirates of the Carribean. Towards late afternoon, we noticed the groups of tourists had left, we went back to Tomorrowland and ride on Buzzlightyear with lesser queue. After the Parade, we managed to stay for the fireworks far left from the castle-with-no-sphere-and-under-refurbishment.) All in all, we were filled with Disney vibe to the brim, especially so for my youngest boy, his first Disneyland trip!

I've only been to the parks in the US, but the people stating this is the BEST Disney park in the entire world, are not wrong. If you're a ride junky, short line person, or staunch american food eater, this might not be for you. However, I'd still recommend doing it One time in your life. the Japanese have created a massive sea side extravaganza. Never have I seen so many lands, and everything is so extravagant and big. From the Prometheus Volcano, hidden island, Arabia castles, Indiana Jones pyramid, Tower of Terror, Marine institute, Columbia ship, all these things are huge decorative items that dwarf the impact of the impact of the favored California Disneyland Castle. This place is magnfiicant on the eyes. ALSO, park prices are well less than HALF of American park prices. Worth the plane fair alone.

First of all it was really nice to travel during winter because the park is empty and the Q was fast (5-10 mins per ride), the extreme rides was marvelous and super fun! And at some high points on the coaster rides, I could see clearly the beautiful Mt Fuji, the snow at the park made my trip to Fuji Q highland park more memorable <3

I have watched the TV news that a baby panda was born last year. When I saw the baby, I have decided to see the panda. My high expectations have not been betrayed. The name of the child panda is “Saihin” She is a girl and so active! So cute! So lovely! You must see her. Now the crazy fever of baby panda boom has been calmed down, you can watch her very well without any clouds on week days. The adult pandas except the mother of “Saihin” was not active, just sleeping. So the timing is now to watch the lovely active child panda!

I’ve been traveling to amusement parks all over the world and have been on some pretty amazing roller coasters. Japan has a good list of top favorites when it comes to roller coasters. This park is extremely clean. One of the cleanest parks I’ve ever been to. All the major roller coasters were open at gate drop but after two trains on Steel Dragon finished their circuit, the ride closed due to high (not so high) winds and never re-opened. If your goal is to ride this ride, be warned that the slightest breeze will close it down. Maybe be the first in line and sprint there when the gates open to be the first on the ride. Hakugei is all that it’s hyped up to be! I’ve never been thrown around in my seat on a roller coaster as much as I have on this one. It’s everything you would expect on an RMC. Similar to other guest reviews, they have very different loading and line styles in Japan. Safety and experience are very important and it shows the way they load the trains. They take extra time to make sure each person is loaded correctly and go over safety multiple times. As an American, I’m all about speed and efficiency but in Japan, speed is not life. Expect long wait times (especially on a busy day) because they don’t load the trains as quick as one would expect. For Hakugei, if you have something extra cash on you, buy the Priority Ticket for 1,000¥ which you can get at the ride entrance. I rode it twice, once in the regular line and once in the priority line. The regular line took 1.25 hours and the priority line took 10min. The same loading style happens on all the major rides so bring some patience, reading material or someone to keep you company because you’ll be waiting a lot. They do have free lockers at all the major rides so you don’t have to leave your bag at home. The park itself is very vibrant. Lots of colors, theming and it’s extremely clean. Highly recommended for people of all ages.

What an amazing place! Massive wave pool separated into various sections where you can swim, play, walk a tight rope and SUP. There are also a number of hot spas which we also enjoyed. The facilities are clean, the lockers are numerous and easy to use, there are inflatables to use, plenty of sun loungers and a couple of cafes. It was a wonderful respite from skiing! There is a regular bus service from the nearby resorts. Many of the hotels offer complimentary passes to Mina Mina as well.
