Fantasy Springs, the highly anticipated new area of Tokyo DisneySea, opened in 2024!
If you’re visiting with young children, you might be wondering, “Is it manageable with little ones?” or “How should we plan our day?”
Based on our real family experience, here’s a detailed, stress-free guide for enjoying Fantasy Springs with kids.
1. Entry & DPA Tips: What Families Need to Know
First, be aware that the entrance to Fantasy Springs is quite far from the park gates (South Entrance).
On our visit, I rushed to get a DPA for Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey as soon as we entered, but didn’t realize how far the new area was—walking quickly with small children was tough!
Pro tip:
Try to book your DPA for a later time slot (after 11:00 AM) rather than first thing in the morning.
Instead of heading straight to Fantasy Springs at opening, start your day with other popular rides (like Toy Story Mania or Tower of Terror). Then, move toward Fantasy Springs with plenty of time and less stress for everyone!
2. Best Attractions for Young Kids (and Height Requirements)
- Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival (DPA recommended, no height restriction)
- Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey (DPA recommended, no height restriction)
- Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure (DPA available, height restriction: 100cm / 39″)
- Nemo & Friends SeaRider (height restriction: 90cm / 35″)
- Turtle Talk (a perfect show to relax and recharge)
- Aquatopia (Splash Version) (summer only! Great for kids who love water play)
3. Sample Family Route & Planning Tips
- Start with popular attractions outside Fantasy Springs
(Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror, etc.) - Head to Fantasy Springs later in the morning
(Reserve DPA for Rapunzel and Frozen Journey, ideally after 11:00 AM) - Enjoy a relaxed stroll, food, and photo spots while waiting
(Take breaks with Aquatopia or Turtle Talk if needed) - Experience the main rides with minimal waiting thanks to your DPA!
4. Height Restrictions Recap
- Rapunzel / Frozen Journey: no height limit
- Peter Pan: 100cm (39″) minimum
- Nemo & Friends SeaRider: 90cm (35″) minimum
Be sure to check your child’s height before planning your ride schedule!
Summary
Fantasy Springs is much more fun when you plan your DPA reservations and route in advance.
Even with little kids, you can enjoy the new area without stress—just allow enough time to get there and use DPA wisely for the most popular attractions.
