Fantasy Springs is opening June 6th 2024

[nalababybear]

It will be very interesting to see how the VP affects lines. I imagine they will be longer, unless they just allocated more DPA in the soft openings to try and model the VPs. I wonder if they will limit most DPAs to afternoon/evening since i imagine most VP holders will go to FS right away. We will find out soon!

If VP at FS or MC -- would do
Day 2: Leisure Breakfast - Mid morning FS; quickorder lunch outside; schedule preselects early afternoon and quickserve evening dinner FS. Do FS evening for additional view

Day 3: Early Breakfast - Happy Entry - FS: quickserve lunch FS; shopping FS; DPA FS with Standby FS; get into line for buggy and the other non DPA/Standby and get that round done: preselects for after lunch to make sure doesn't run into DPA/standby FS.

With the "mobile order" to eat at one of the restaurants within Fantasy Springs, do you need to already hold a paid Premier Access ticket or free Standby Pass for the relevant timeslot to do a mobile order? Or does obtaining a mobile order permit you to enter Fantasy Springs even if you don't have a Premier Access or Standby Pass ticket?

I thought you had to have a PA or SP ticket to enter FS, so when trying to do a "mobile order" you're going to be limited to your corresponding timeslot (or after it since I guess you can stay in FS for as long as you want after you have ridden the ride)?

Hopefully it will all become clearer after FS opens on 6 June!

You need Premier Access or Standby Pass in order to do mobile order. Your eligible period for mobile order starts at the same time as your Premier Access or Standby Pass and ends 3 hours later. You cannot do mobile order for restaurants within Fantasy Springs without first obtaining Premier Access or Standby Pass.

This is what we plan on doing. Hoping to knock off all 4 rides during happy entry to FS, breakfast at 9:30am, shop and place mobile orders for lunch at Snuggly Duckling and dinner at Arendelle, head to areas outside of FS until evening, and return to FS for night view

It really depends on how they handle Happy entry. If they let all VP and Happy folk access FS entrance; then the FS hotel guest is completely nullified for Happy and the ability to ride 2+ rides with Happy is almost fully eliminated.

If they also do Happy Entry really earlier like 45 before ride opening or rides in FS do not start immediately; happy entry value also plummets.

That is why VP can be the clear benefit and worth the premium if they do either of those. Pay the premium, stay at ToyStory - walk across the street for FS entry.

We'll find out soon enough next week and how they adjust processes too over following months.

Thanks so much for this information! I have the Fantasy Springs Magic pass with my vacation package, and I was concerned that the only reason I needed to brave the rope drop crowds was for mobile order. This give me hope that I could show up around 9am instead.

Would you be able to do a mobile order if you're staying at the Fantasy Springs hotel and use the FS entrance? From my understanding if you're staying at that hotel you get FS entry? Unless that's incorrect?

They said specifically only hotel guests can use the exclusive FS entrance so I think we're good!

"Features of Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel
2. Direct access to Fantasy Springs through an exclusive entrance
During their stay, hotel guests can use this entrance to enter Fantasy Springs directly."

You should be fine at 9AM but be aware that by the time you get into the park, some timeslots for the Royal Banquet of Arendelle will likely be sold out.

Staying at the Fantasy Springs hotel makes you eligible to purchase a Fantasy Springs Magic ticket. With the Fantasy Springs magic ticket, you can do mobile order for any time during the day.

You can stay at the Fantasy Springs hotel and not purchase a park ticket in which case you won't be able to enter the park. I don't know what happens if you have some other type of ticket but it seems like you'd be allowed in to Fantasy Springs through the hotel entrance but your mobile orders would be restricted to when you have a Standby Pass or Premier Access. So make sure you buy the ticket through the hotel if you want to properly experience Fantasy Springs.

We went this morning and they did a much better job with Happy Entry. On Tuesday they let regular day guests through security at the same time as HE and it was a disaster. Today they only let HE guests in and had more security lines open. It went very smoothly and we were able to get a standby for Peter Pan and a Premier Access for Frozen. We also got a standby pass for the Emporio and bought tons of Fantasy Springs merch. We feel very lucky we got to visit the new area twice before it opened. We all agreed that Peter Pan was our favorite out of all of the rides.

I'm glad you were able to ride everything. Imagine how it will be on release day, so at least you had the experience. I think FS is going to change DisneySea for a long time crowd wise.

I plan on booking the Fantasy Springs hotel as part of the vacation package when my window opens next week and according to the TDR site it says you cannot buy that passport if you have a vacation package. So I guess I'll try for standby/DPA. Thanks for the info!

The VP itself had the FS ticket included on day 2. If you purchase the 2night package, day 3 will have happy entry too, so should be able to tap in and reserve an entry time and book something on day 3 too.

I would be surprised that a FS stay would not give you access to the booking ... clarity will come soon enough in a week

Yup, I know. I plan on booking the 3 day and trying for the passes on the second DS day.

It says you can't buy the passport on their site if you do a package but I'm not going until November so maybe things will change by then.

I’m also very interested in the nuances of the 3-day Vacation Package DS day (day 3) that doesn’t include the FS passport. Keep us posted!

I don't think they will disallow you buy IF you're staying in FS hotel. You'd have to buy the ticket separately cost another $150+ per person.

Just curious on the reason though. You're coming off a day of unlimited dpa ride access to fs 4 rides.

Do you need another full unlimited dpa for fs rides day or some other reason for the fs passport?

The wording on this page makes it seem like you can't:

Personally I'm not sure if I would buy it, just gauging if I could.

 

[nalababybear]

Yet they say fs hotel stays themselves have access to fs passport. It doesn't exclude those with vp staying in fs hotel. It says it the vp includes the passport.

That's what's unclear.

There's no exclusion. A good question to ask if can buy additional ticket

A good question to ask....for the arrival day, can you buy fs passport in addition to the dl ticket.

He actually did better than I expected. He does pretty well first thing in the morning and then gets worse as the day goes on. He mostly sat in the stroller. He wanted to watch something on my phone but we couldn’t get any wifi from our mobile wifi or data at the entrance. It was a dead zone.

I have heard access can be better at the back of the park. Something about the cell tower locations.

It was only at the entrance waiting in line that we had a problem. Our mobile wifi didn’t work at Disney at all. We had to rely solely on data.
