Tokyo Disney Resort has started offering a paid FastPass option called the Disney Premier Pass and I’m going to try it out today at Tokyo Disneyland. I’ll show you how it works and give my initial thoughts on if I think it’s worth it or not for your trip.

Hi, 👋🏽 My name is Chris, aka TDRExplorer, and I started sharing my theme park adventures. Over the years, TDRExplorer has evolved into a resource for passionate theme park fans looking to make the best of their trips to Asia. Including Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan!

EDIT: I don't know why I forgot to mention this in the video but I think the ¥2,000 price tag is a bit steep. Around ¥1,500 might have been more reasonable.
Thank you for watching, Explorers! The wait times are typically lower this time of the year. I have a video going over what the best months are to visit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UURXsrnpVU8
Access! Thanks for reviewing the Paid FastPass at Tokyo Disneyland!
Every Disney park wants to make money they lost , the question is for how long will they keep this new cash grab???
The Simpsons made fun of Disney and their price gouging methods. There was one episode where Homer and Bart went on a Soaring over Springfield ride (like Soaring Over California) and the part of the ride where it looked like they flew over the park entrance and Homer made a comment on how great the ride is and how it felt that they just re-entered the park. Right when he said that, there was a park employee telling Homer since they re-entered the park, they need to pay a readmission fee. I have a feeling that Disney will be heading toward that direction too.
I miss free fastpast so much at DLP 😩😩😩
I tried the new DPA (Disney Premier Access) today with Beauty and The Beast. While the price was a bit steep, you do get to skip the outside queue. Contrary to other comments, you don’t miss the atmosphere/theming. Most of that is within the castle after rejoining the rest of the queue (i.e Belle and Beast animatronics, and chip and Mrs Potts silhouettes etc). So, I felt that it was worth it. You can also take your time going inside, to take photos of the outside of the castle. I’d definitely use it for Soaring, as well.
I've really love your shirt
If anyone knows please tell me what, if any, American credit/debit cards can be used. Thank you
I was there a week ago and the DPA was already available for purchase…..30 mins after the park opened the Beauty and the Beast ride was 55 mins wait I almost caved in but decided to wait and hour later it was less than 30 mins. Not worth paying any price IMO however it was low season.
Thanks for the review of this new system. I’ll likely never use it, but like you said it’s nice to have options. The biggest downfall for me is missing that beautiful que line.
That’s so interesting about the general 30 min wait for premier access …
sounds just like the US parks version of Disney+ 's "individual lightning Lane" where you can buy a single ride for 15 to 20 bucks USD. but you only have a total of 3 rides 2 choose from in both parks in California.
I felt that anxiety of waiting to see if your foreign credit card will work with TDR. Park tickets is so random and hardly ever works yet I have no problem booking TDR hotels.
As person with non visual’s disabilities what is the accessibility like in terms of carer passes and ride access pass?
The Disney app is mean to ALL credit cards so don't worry. I have two Japanese cards and they are both rejected regularly 😒 (one visa, one MasterCard…different banks).
People here be like:
Universal does paid fastpass: They get a pass
Disney does the same thing: They become the Villian.
from the words of Wanda: That doesn't seem fair.
does anyone know why disneyland tokyo also sell 1 day pass ?
Planning my first visit to TDR for next year and feeling sad that I never got to experience the fastpass system :’( but thanks as always for your helpful videos! I’m still excited nonetheless 😀
Thank you so much for making this video.
When you enter payment card details, does it allow you to pick card from Apple Wallet or do you have to type details in?
Hi. Your guide saved me lots of time at the beauty and the beast ride in Tokyo today. The queueing was 110 minutes so we got the Disney premier access and went straight through to the staircase room and only queued for 10 to 15 minutes before getting on. So glad we did this as the ride was amazing and I would have missed it as we didn't want to queue for so long.
Fellow SK Canadian, thank you so much for these videos! They are so helpful.
I would gladly pay this to save time and most importantly because we have a 4yo toddler who will not be able to withstand the boredom of queuing and waiting in line for hours
I probably would not use the Disney Premier ACCESS. It's a little expensive for a family.
