Tokyo Disney Resort App for Premier Access and Standby Pass
Before your trip, you use the app to buy park tickets, book restaurants and set up a group so one phone carries everyone’s tickets. The official FAQ says Premier Access, Entry Request and Standby Pass work only after you enter the park. You can hold all three at the same time, and children aged 3 and under need none of them.
The chart above puts the three services side by side. Premier Access is the only paid one, and the only one that cuts the wait at a ride.
Setting up the Tokyo Disney Resort App in English
Search for “Tokyo Disney Resort App” on the App Store or Google Play. The app shows Japanese or English depending on your phone’s language setting. To get English, set the phone itself to English. There is no language switch inside the app.
Check your phone before you fly. The app supports iOS 16.0 and later and Android 11.0 and later. The Tokyo Disney Resort official app page says it does not work on some tablets and iPads.
The checklist above covers the four things to sort out at home: language, phone, account and payment card.
Next, create a free MyDisney Account from the Menu on the official bookings page. Only guests aged 13 or older can register or log in, so a parent holds the account for younger children. Without logging in you still get the map, your location, operating hours and wait times.
Turn GPS on. The official FAQ says some functions, such as Entry Request, stop working with location off, even when you are inside Tokyo Disney Resort.
Groups save time. Up to 20 members, including the person who invites them, can join one group. One phone can then show each member’s ticket at the gate and get the in-park services for the whole party. Your ticket code appears from 12:00 midnight on the day of your visit. Online tickets cannot be printed at home.
No data plan yet? Free Wi-Fi is open to anyone with an email address or a social media account. At Tokyo Disneyland it covers the Main Entrance and Main Street House. At Tokyo DisneySea it covers Park Entrance North and South, Guest Relations and the Fantasy Springs Entrance. Some cast members speak English, Chinese or Korean and wear a language marker on their name tag.
The Tokyo Disney Resort before visiting the parks page asks you to test your login before the day. Do it at the hotel, not at the gate.
Disney Premier Access prices for attractions
Disney Premier Access covers 16 attractions: 7 at Tokyo Disneyland and 9 at Tokyo DisneySea. You pick a time and ride with a reduced wait. Prices run from 1,000 to 2,500 yen per access, and the fee does not include your park ticket.
The top price is 2,500 yen for three rides. They are Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast at Tokyo Disneyland, plus Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey and Soaring: Fantastic Flight at Tokyo DisneySea. The cheapest are Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek! and Haunted Mansion at 1,000 yen each. The Tokyo Disney Resort Disney Premier Access page lists every price.
| Price per access | Tokyo Disneyland | Tokyo DisneySea |
|---|---|---|
| 2,500 yen | Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast | Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey; Soaring: Fantastic Flight |
| 2,000 yen | None | Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival; Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure; Toy Story Mania!; Journey to the Center of the Earth |
| 1,500 yen | The Happy Ride with Baymax; Splash Mountain; Big Thunder Mountain; Pooh’s Hunny Hunt | Tower of Terror; Raging Spirits; Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull |
| 1,000 yen | Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek!; Haunted Mansion | None |
The table groups the rides by price. Tokyo DisneySea has the pricier list, with four rides at 2,000 yen.
Oriental Land added more eligible experiences from September 1, 2026. The Tokyo Disneyland attractions list and the Tokyo DisneySea attractions list mark each eligible ride with “Disney Premier Access available”. Haunted Mansion runs as “Holiday Nightmare” from September 15, 2026 through January 7, 2027.
The photo shows Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, the only 2,500 yen ride at Tokyo Disneyland. In Fantasy Springs, anyone admitted to Tokyo DisneySea can walk in and ride by standing in line, or pay for Premier Access.
Check closures first. Two rides on the price list are closed now on the official closure lists. Tower of Terror is closed from September 28 to November 5, 2026. Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull is closed through November 29, 2026. Its Premier Access period starts November 30, 2026.

Soaring, Tower of Terror, Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure and Big Thunder Mountain need 102 cm. Splash Mountain needs 90 cm. For ride-by-ride details, see our Tokyo Disneyland attractions guide and the Tokyo DisneySea guide.
Premier Access for parades and shows
Premier Access also sells viewing places for 9 parades and shows: 6 at Tokyo Disneyland and 3 at Tokyo DisneySea. A purchase gives you a designated viewing area at a set time. Most cost 2,500 yen, and the two seasonal parades cost 3,500 yen.
The Villains’ Halloween “Into the Frenzy” runs September 16 through October 31, 2026. Toys Wondrous Christmas! follows from November 11 through December 25, 2026. Oriental Land revised the price of some parades from September 16, 2026.
| Item | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| The Villains’ Halloween "Into the Frenzy" | 3500 yen | Sep 16 to Oct 31, 2026 |
| Toys Wondrous Christmas! | 3500 yen | Nov 11 to Dec 25, 2026 |
| Disney Harmony in Color | 2500 yen | Tokyo Disneyland |
| Electrical Parade Dreamlights | 2500 yen | Tokyo Disneyland |
| Mickey’s Magical Music World | 2500 yen | Tokyo Disneyland |
| The D-Groovationz4 Live | 2500 yen | Tokyo Disneyland |
| Tokyo DisneySea shows (3), each | 2500 yen | Dance the Globe!, Believe! Sea of Dreams, Dreams Take Flight |
The chart shows every non-seasonal program at 2,500 yen. Disney Harmony in Color (daytime) and Electrical Parade Dreamlights (night) each run about 45 minutes. At Tokyo DisneySea, Believe! Sea of Dreams is the nighttime harbor show, about 30 minutes long.
Your exact place is fixed when you buy. You sit in the designated seat or stand on the numbered spot shown on your phone. Children aged 3 and under can sit on an adult’s lap.
You do not have to pay to watch. The official FAQ says you can still see these parades and shows from areas that are not paid. Some stage shows also need a free Entry Request: Mickey’s Magical Music World, The D-Groovationz4 Live: Happy! Funky! Groovy! Tour (new from September 30, 2026), Dance the Globe! and Dreams Take Flight.
The photo shows the Electrical Parade Dreamlights floats at night. A Premier Access spot for this parade costs 2,500 yen.
Refund rules differ from rides. If a parade or show is canceled, you get a refund. Weather changes to content or start times do not count. The exception is a parade whose floats were due to stop at your area and did not.
How to buy and use Premier Access
You buy Premier Access inside the app after you enter the park. Open “My Plan”, tap “Disney Premier Access” and select the park tickets for everyone in your party. Pick the experience and time, choose a payment method, and tap OK. Times you cannot buy show as “Unavailable”.
The flow above has five steps. Payment happens when you tap OK, and after that there are no changes or refunds. At your time, go to the entrance the app names, tap “Display code” and scan it on the reader.
The rules are short but strict:
- One per ticket: each park ticket buys one Premier Access, for one person. You cannot share it or give it away.
- Next purchase: you can buy another one 60 minutes after buying, or after your admission time, whichever comes first.
- Separate counts: attractions and parades or shows are counted separately, so you can hold one of each.
- Same park: you can only buy for experiences in the park you have entered.
- Ages: children 3 and under go free with a paying adult. Guests under 18 need a guardian’s consent to buy in the app.
Pay with a card. In the app, credit, debit and prepaid cards work. Cards issued outside Japan are fine if they carry the JCB, VISA, MasterCard or American Express logo. Code payments such as PayPay and Alipay do not work for Premier Access.
No app or no card? Buy at a counter. At Tokyo Disneyland, Main Street House sells all day and Kingdom Treasures sells from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. At Tokyo DisneySea, Guest Relations, Lost River Outfitters and Agrabah Marketplace sell all day. Valentina’s Sweets sells until 1:00 p.m., and Park Information at Fantasy Springs until 9:30 a.m.
The photo shows the queue of Pooh’s Hunny Hunt at Tokyo Disneyland, a ride with Premier Access at 1,500 yen.
If a ride stops unexpectedly while you wait, the park may issue Multiple Experiences for a replacement experience.
Tokyo Disney fastpass: Priority Pass ended, Standby Pass now
Tokyo Disney has no free fastpass for rides right now. The free Tokyo Disney Resort 40th Anniversary Priority Pass ended on August 31, 2026, according to the official FAQ. An older FAQ answer still describes it, and the old Priority Pass page now shows “not found”.
The picture above sums it up: two free tools and one paid service are left.
Standby Pass is the first free tool. It gives you a return time, and at that time you can join the queue for a designated venue. There is no limit on how many you get in a day. Issue times change by day.
At Tokyo Disneyland, the Tokyo Disney Resort Standby Pass page lists 8 venues, and all are shops, capsule toys or games. Disney & Co. and Gag Factory / Toontown Five and Dime need one from September 15, 2026. Adventureland Bazaar capsule toys and the two Jungle Carnival games join on November 10, 2026. At Tokyo DisneySea, Fantasy Springs Gifts needs one.
For a Standby Pass at a different shop, wait until your return time or 120 minutes after you got the last one. At least 60 minutes must pass either way. Passes cannot be transferred.
Entry Request is the second free tool. It is a lottery for some parades, shows and Disney Character Greetings, and you can try once per day for each venue. Only guests with a winning result get in at the set time.
Use all three together. Buy Premier Access for one big ride, enter the lottery for a show, and pick up a Standby Pass for a shop while you wait. If you searched for a Tokyo Disney priority pass, this mix is what replaced it.
Disney Mobile Order and restaurant bookings
Disney Mobile Order lets you order from anywhere in the park after entry. You pick the food up at your arrival time. There is no daily limit on orders, and you can order at another restaurant after placing one.
An order does not hold a seat, so find a table yourself. Before you tap “I’m Here”, you can add or delete items and change the quantity or arrival time. If the arrival time passes, the order cancels itself and you pay nothing.
Mobile Order takes more payment types than Premier Access. Overseas JCB, VISA, MasterCard and American Express cards work, and so do PayPay and Alipay. Without the app, ask a cast member at the restaurant. You may be able to order at the register.
In Fantasy Springs, three counter-service restaurants take orders through Mobile Order: Royal Banquet of Arendelle, The Snuggly Duckling and Lookout Cookout. Order before you reach the area.
Priority Seating is the sit-down option. You pick a dining time and eat with a minimal wait. Bookings open one month before your visit date. On the day, online bookings open at 9:00 a.m., and restaurants take bookings at the door from 10:00 a.m. if seats free up. There is no cancellation fee, and you can cancel up to one hour before.
Show restaurants book from 9:00 a.m. Japan time on the date one month before your visit, until 8:59 p.m. the day before. At Tokyo Disneyland, The Diamond Variety Muster is closed until November 20, 2026.
A day with the app, from tickets to closing time
Here is how the app fits a visit, using the official timings.
- Two months before: tickets go on sale daily at 2:00 p.m. for the same date two months later. Buy on the website or in the app.
- One month before: book Priority Seating and show restaurants.
- Midnight on the day: your ticket code appears in the app.
- At the gate: scan the app code, with the whole party scanning together.
- Inside the park: enter Entry Request lotteries, buy Premier Access and collect Standby Passes.
- Meals: order with Mobile Order or use your Priority Seating time.
The parks do not sell tickets at the gate. Online, you pay by credit card, PayPay or Alipay and buy up to 10 tickets at a time. If tickets remain, you can still buy on the day.
Prices change by date. The Tokyo Disney Resort park tickets page lists the adult 1-Day Passport from 8,900 yen. Children 3 and under enter free. On the October 2026 calendar, an adult day costs 10,900 yen on October 9 and 12,400 yen on October 11. Our Tokyo Disneyland ticket prices by date lays out the whole calendar.
The After 3 Passport lets you in from 3:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, from 7,900 yen for an adult. Premier Access is extra on every ticket.
The photo shows the Tokyo Disneyland Main Entrance, where every app service starts. On October 8 and 9, 2026, both parks opened from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
From Haneda, the Airport Limousine bus takes about 40 minutes for 1,300 yen; see Haneda Airport to Tokyo Disney Resort. From Narita, the Narita Airport to Tokyo Disney Resort bus takes 56 minutes for 2,900 yen. From central Tokyo, see our guide to getting from Tokyo to Disneyland on the Keiyo Line to Maihama.
For trains, a Suica card saves buying a ticket each time. Going in November? Read Tokyo in November. The Japanese holidays in November count as holidays for the After 3 ticket.
What visitors in Japan say about Premier Access and the app
In October 2026 we ran an online survey of people living in Japan who have been to Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea. 123 people answered; after removing answers that clearly contradicted themselves, 100 remained. The numbers below are shares of those respondents, not of all visitors. See the full survey results and how we asked.
33.0% (33 of 100) bought Disney Premier Access on their most recent visit, and 45.0% (45 of 100) used a free Priority Pass. That free pass, the Tokyo Disney Resort 40th Anniversary Priority Pass, ended on 31 August 2026, according to the official FAQ, so it is no longer on offer. 9.0% (9 of 100) did not know about Premier Access. Of the 33 who bought it, 36.4% (12 of 33) said it was worth the price; the attractions they bought it for most were Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast (27.3%), Soaring: Fantastic Flight (27.3%), Toy Story Mania! (21.2%) and Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey (21.2%).
The app came up again and again. The uses mentioned most were checking wait times (79.0%), buying or showing tickets (64.0%) and park map (58.0%), and 17.0% (17 of 100) did not use the app at all. Asked for one app tip for a first-time visitor, 46.0% (46 of 100) said install it and register your ticket before you go.
“I’d use Premier Access at Disneyland for Beauty and the Beast, Baymax and Pooh, and at DisneySea for Frozen, Peter Pan, Soaring, Toy Story Mania! and Tower of Terror. For other attractions there’s no guarantee you’ll feel it was worth the money. Premier Access seats for parades and shows are not that much better, so unless you must see it, the free Entry Request lottery is fine.”
— Woman in her teens, Kanto (Tokyo area). Original Japanese (excerpt): 「プレミアアクセスは、ランドは美女と野獣・ベイマックス・プーさん、シーはアナ雪・ピーターパン・ソアリン・トイマニ・タワーオブテラーに使うべきかなと思う。…必ず見たい、以外の場合は抽選でいいと思う。」
“Narrow down what you must do that day, and for the rides you absolutely want to go on, don’t hold back on buying Premier Access. Don’t try to do everything; leave yourself time and you will come away very satisfied.”
— Woman in her 20s, Kanto (Tokyo area). Original Japanese (excerpt): 「その日にマストでやりたいことを絞って、絶対に乗りたいアトラクションは惜しまずにプレミアアクセスを買う。」
