Hi, I am a big fan of Tokyo Disney Resort, and a 3kids Mom.
I’m living in Tokyo and going to Disney Resort many times.
So I’m gonna introduce you “Disney Premier Access“(DPA).
This service is available for a fee, and will allow guests to select designated times to be admitted to and enjoy certain experiences.
It is started in May 2022.
I’d like to summarize in detail how to purchase and how to use it!

Before you go to Tokyo Disney Resort, you should read and understand what this service is!

Before 2020, we had FAST PASS system and it was for free.
This service was finished and then another service, DPA appeared for a fee.
“40th Anniversary Priority Pass” is free?
Although the target attractions are different from DPA, there is currently a service called “40th Anniversary Priority Pass” for free.
Like the previous FAST PASS, this ticket is a free service that allows you to visit attractions within a specified time with less waiting time.
Click here about 40th Anniversary Priority pass in official website.
What should you pay attention to purchase DPA?
DPA can only be purchased once you are inside the park on the day of the event.

Please note that you can only purchase tickets for the number of tickets scanned at the time of admission.
You can specify the time you want to use the attraction, but your desired time may be sold out.

On busy days, the DPA of popular attraction may be sold out at all times in the morning.
Also, basically all operations will be performed on the app.
Be sure to download the Disney Resort app, register and log in to your Disney account in advance.

Which area?
Blue area is for guests with DPA.
⭐︎Disneyland:”Disney Harmony in Color” and “Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights”

The seasonal parade (“Minnie @ Funderland” or “Quacky Celebration ★ Donald the Legend!”) is different from the area above, and is in the blue zone shown below!

⭐︎DisneySea:Believe! Sea of Dreams

In the blue zone of Disneyland’s parade viewing area, there are numbers on the ground.
Once you purchase a DPA, you will be assigned a number.
It is said that viewing number at Disneyland will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis starting from the front row.

If you want to get a DPA and watch the parade in DPA area, buy it as soon as you enter the park!
But in DisneySea “Believe!”, the location to view the performance in the viewing area will not be specified, so you will be admitted to the viewing area in order of arrival.

“Believe!” will be projected onto MiraCosta using projection mapping.
So Lido Isle (a place on the left side of the map) may be a good viewing area!?
What should you do if you are with children?
One DPA can be purchased for each park ticket (for one person).
If your children are under 3 years old, they do not require a Park ticket.
So they can enter with an accompanying adult who has a DPA.
In other words, in the case of a father, mother, and a 3-year-old child, if the father and mother have a DPA, there is no need to purchase an additional amount for the 3-year-old child.

And it is the same as 40th Anniversary Priority Pass, which can be obtained for free.
Children under 3 years old who do not need a Park ticket can board with an adult who has a Priority Pass!
On the other hand, if your children are over 4 years old, they need a Park ticket.
And also you have to purchase a DPA for your kids.

DPA does not have child price, so you must purchase a ticket at the same price as an adult.
Disney Premier Access is worth it?
Here are the pros and cons of DPA.
I’m gonna discuss if DPA is worth it or not.
Pros
You can use your time effectively
You can ride the attractions with less waiting time, so you can use your time effectively.
For example, if the standby waiting time for “Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast” is 120 minutes, the waiting time for DPA is about 10 to 20 minutes.
*Right after the parade ends, the number of users temporarily increases, so the waiting time may be increase slightly.
If you may not be able to come to Tokyo Disneyland again, I recommend purchasing a DPA to enjoy more attractions.

I can go to Tokyo Disney Resort whenever I want and have experienced these attractions many times, so I don’t buy a DPA every time.
Also, if you have a DPA for a parade or show, you don’t have to secure a spot to see it, so you can enjoy the attractions until the last minute!

If you want to see parade on the front row seat, you need to secure a spot 1-2 hour in advance.
Making it easy to plan your schedule
Previous FASTPASS and 40th Anniversary Priority Pass, you can’t choose a time to ride.
However, DPA allows you to choose the time you want to ride the attraction.
Depending on the time, some times may be sold out.
But if you purchase as soon as you enter the park, you can get the time you want!

DPA and 40th Anniversary Priority Pass have different target attractions, so be careful!
If you have a desired time, please enter the park as soon as possible and purchase it immediately.
Cons
Expensive
The biggest disadvantage is that it costs money.
You need to buy a ticket to enter the Park, in addition, you also need to purchase a DPA.
And as I said above,DPA does not have child price, so you must purchase a ticket at the same price as an adult.

I have 3 kids so it costs a lot!
Even if you have a DPA, you may not be able to see the attractions or parades
If an attraction is suspended during the time period in which you have a DPA, you will not be able to use the DPA to board the attraction.
And also, parades and shows may be canceled due to bad weather.
Of course, if you are unable to use DPA, you will receive a refund, so don’t worry!

Lastly
I have summarized the details of Disney Premier Access (DPA).
To tell the truth, I have almost never used DPA.

Basically, I only go on slow day.
And also I like waiting the parade in the first row for over 3 hours, haha.
However, if you are traveling with small kids, you can only go on a busy day, or you are traveling from far away, I recommend purchasing a DPA so that you can make the most of your stay!

Among the attractions of DPA, the most recommended is “Soaring: Fantastic Flight” in DisneySea!
But it has height restrictions, so be careful if you are with kids.
Until the end Thank you for reading.
