Wouldn’t it be better to know the predicted crowded days and less busy days at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea before traveling?
Fujiko
My name is Fujiko. I’ve been to Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo DisneySea almost every day.
Let me tell you. The predicted crowded and less busy days are as follows. ※This is just my personal opinion.
Less crowded days ※The following excludes popular characters’ birthdays. ※Except for June 15, October 28, November 13, November 14, and November 20.
Weekdays from January to early February (excluding around January 6th). It’s not crowded, but it’s very cold.
Weekdays right after Golden Week in May. ※It’s the holiday period in Japan, typically from late April to early May, when multiple national holidays line up.
Wednesdays and Thursdays are recommended. Fridays tend to be more crowded than Wednesdays and Thursdays, but they are still less busy than usual. The season is perfect. It gradually starts getting crowded from the following week.
A day in July or August when the weather forecast predicted a typhoon or heavy rain, but the forecast changed one or two days before. In this case, it will be a significantly less crowded day. If there are vacant rooms, the hotel prices will be lower!
The period in the first week of November when there are no events. In autumn, this period after the Halloween event has ended, when there are no other events, is recommended. On weekdays, it’s relatively empty. On weekends, if there are no events, it’s less crowded than usual.
December 26–27, and only weekdays. It’s not crowded. Why not finish work early and enjoy a refreshing break? It’s cold, but it’s fun♪
Weekday Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It is less crowded because it falls in the middle of the weekday. Since more people take time off on Mondays and Fridays, it tends to be slightly more crowded.
A day when the park closes early due to a private nighttime event. There is no nighttime parade, and the ticket price is the same as usual, but if that’s okay with you, you can still have a satisfying experience. Since it’s not crowded, you can enjoy unlimited rides on attractions. Even if the park closes early, you’ll still have a satisfying experience!
A rainy day. ※Even if it only rains in the morning, the afternoon will be less crowded than usual. If there’s heavy rain, it will be a significantly less crowded day.
Be sure to bring a raincoat♪
The crowded days are as follows.
Crowded forecast days.
From around January 1st to January 4th. It gets crowded because of the New Year’s holiday break. But the New Year’s event is fun because you can meet Mickey and Minnie in kimono!
From mid-February to early April. ※If it rains in early April, it may remain crowded until mid-April. There are a lot of students, making it extremely crowded.
Golden Week. Golden Week is a holiday period in Japan that happens in late April and early May. It consists of several national holidays close together, making it one of the longest vacation periods for many workers and students. Because of this, a lot of people travel domestically and internationally, leading to crowded tourist spots and busy transportation. It’s a popular time for sightseeing, relaxation, and family gatherings.
From mid-July to late August. Japan’s intense heat has led to a trend of lower crowds compared to previous years. Although it’s hot, it’s summer vacation, so it gets crowded with students and families.
The Halloween event period from September to October. The most crowded time of the year! The area around Cinderella Castle becomes a popular photo spot and gets crowded. Sometimes, it’s hard to find an available restroom.
From the start of the Christmas event in November to December 25th. You should check when the Christmas event begins. It’s extremely crowded, so restaurant reservations are a must! Despite the cold, the lack of easy resting spots can be tiring.
June 15, October 28, November 13, November 14, and November 20. Since many prefectures have school holidays for their anniversary celebrations, it tends to be crowded.
