Birthday treat
Recommended to go there on a nice weather day. I went there on November 2, 2022. It was very clear blue sky. Park operation said 9:00. but I arrived on 8:30. They already opened. Must try a new application. It helped us to book standy some attraction and buy premier pass for 2,000 yen per person to skip the queue line. I think It's worth. On the birthday we can ask the staffs for birthday sticker. That's so cute. I love the service from every single staff in the park. Never get bored at this place ;)

Japan does it better
I've been to Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR) several times now and these are my favorite Disney parks. TDR is not run by Disney, but by the Oriental Land Co., and this is probably a contributing factor. A definite Japanese spin on park management. A few things to note right out of the gate. Plan, plan, plan. If you want to get on all the rides, try to be there before rope drop. Figure out what rides you want to go on first - aim for big ticket items (Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain), get a fast pass for one then sprint like an Olympian to another and get in line. Your first 60 minutes should be a frenzy round. Be warned, the Japanese park-goers do not mess around with fastpasses. Big ticket rides can have their FP's wiped out within a couple hours on a medium capacity day. If you can, stay the night and / or purchase a vacation package (lots of extra inclusions like fast passes and show tickets) which really help in getting the most out of the day(s). Make sure you check the schedule if you want to see shows or meet characters, because the lines start early and get long. Ride maintenance is posted online clearly in advance, so take a look at that beforehand to make sure anything you want to see will be open. TDR takes ride safety very seriously, so there are always rides closed for maintenance. Something I've really noticed here is how popular these parks are with adults. If you're with a group of friends or solo it doesn't feel weird to be there without kids. It doesn't feel so "family fun time only" as some US parks do, Tokyo Disney is for ALL ages. It's also quite a popular thing for groups of friends to wear matching outfits...literally identical items of clothing, it's pretty cute. If you plan it right, 1 day at Disneyland and 1 day at DisneySea should be enough. There are different ticketing options available, take a look on the website. Try to avoid going on weekends, Tokyo Disney is considered "a locals park". High rate of annual pass users who live locally, this means weekends, public holidays and school holidays are crazy busy. Outside of those times you likely won't need to buy a ticket in advance as long as you are there for opening. If you plan on dining at a table service restaurant (Blue Bayou etc), then you need to book in advance, these bookings open 30 days out.
