A common question from those who haven’t visited Tokyo Disney yet is Should I spend extra on Disney Premier Access ride passes? however after you have visited Tokyo Disney the question often changes to How can I get as many Tokyo Disney Premier Access passes as possible?!

In this guide I will explain how Disney ride fast passes – that is, Premier Access Passes (otherwise known as DPA) ride passes work – and why they should be part of your Tokyo Disney Resort visit ride strategy!

How Tokyo Disney Resort passes work

Put simply…

1. Two months in advance – buy your Tokyo Disney Resort entrance tickets for your chosen park and date. These are also known as 1 day passes or passports.
2. In advance – Scan your group/family’s tickets all into one Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR) App account so that you can book passes as a group. Watch how to scan your tickets into the TDR App on our YouTube video. If you have purchased an official TDR hotel package, disregard this step.
3. On the day of your visit – after you have scanned inside the park entrance gates, immediately book your Disney Premier Access passes using the TDR App. Book your most desired ride first. You cannot book them until you are inside the park. Popular ride recommendations: The Enchanted Tale of Beauty & the Beast (Disneyland) and Anna & Elsa’s Frozen Journey (DisneySea)

How do I scan a Tokyo Disney ticket into the App?

Note – you may need to wait up to 24 hours after purchase

What is a Tokyo Disney Premier Access pass?

Tokyo Disney Resort Premier Access ride passes are paid individual ride fast passes which allow the holder to bypass the standard ride queue via an express laneway.

DPAs are available for a selection of the most popular rides at each of the Tokyo Disney Resort theme parks; Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.

How to book a DPA for a parade or show

You can also purchase DPAs for Tokyo Disney parades and shows including the night show in Tokyo DisneySea. Our YouTube Tokyo Disney Priority Pass ride, DPA parade and lottery show pass booking guide shows you how to book DPA’s for parades.

Why should I buy a Premier Access Ride Pass?

Tokyo Disney Premier Access Passes:

• are the only way to pay to skip the queue for the most popular rides.
• are a way to save waiting up to several hours in a queue.
• are a way to buy yourself more precious TDR time to do other things like ride, eat, shop or rest.

Skipping DPA passes for the sake of saving money at this point is really false economy. You’ve probably already spent several thousand dollars just to get to Tokyo Disney. Time is money, particularly on holiday.

It’s wise to factor at least a couple of ride DPAs into your overall Tokyo Disney budget. Often, you’ll be lucky to get more than a couple of DPA rides per day, anyhow. You’ll find a price breakdown towards the end of this guide to help you budget for your Tokyo Disney Parks visit.

When don’t I need to buy Premier Access passes?

Buying a Disney Premier Access pass is probably unnecessary if:

• you have purchased a Tokyo Disney Vacation Package, VIP tour or are staying in the Fantasy Springs Grande Chateau (all include ride passes).
• you have several days at the parks, and/or plenty of time to spare and don’t mind waiting in long queues.
• you want to experience a themed ride queue like Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey in Fantasy Springs in DisneySea.
• you have a big group/tight budget.
• you have no preference or interest in riding the theme park rides

When do Tokyo Disney 40th Anniversary Priority Passes end?

Tokyo Disney 40th Anniversary Priority Passes end 31st of August 2026.

Tokyo Disney 40th Anniversary Priority Passes were free ride fast passes you also booked on the Tokyo Disney Resort App. They worked the same as DPAs, but for different rides. As of 31/10/2026 these free ride passes have concluded.

How do I buy Disney Premier Access?

You buy Premier Access passes by booking a time period direct on the Tokyo Disney Resort official App after you have scanned into the park. You can watch a YouTube video of us booking a Tokyo DisneySea Premier Pass here.

What do I do if I can’t book a Premier Access Pass on the app?

If you have problems getting the app or your credit card working on the app there is an alternative. It’s possible to book ride passes in person from a shop near the main entry to each Tokyo Disney Resort Park and a couple inside the parks. You can use your rejected credit card or cash to buy DPA’s at these stores for as long as the passes remain available. Just ask a Cast Member for directions.

When should I buy Premier Access Passes?

You should buy your ride passes as soon as possible after you have scanned into the park. On weekends or public holidays in particular it can increase demand.

Should I get early entry too?

For DisneySea, yes. It is usually advantageous to use Happy Entry or queue early to allow more time to secure the Premier Access pass you want in DisneySea. The most popular Premier Access passes such as Anna & Elsa’s Frozen Journey often run out quickly. It will also allow you to maximise the biggest number DPAs possible during the day.

Tokyo mobile phone internet data eSims

Buy an eSim so that you have data from the moment you land in Japan. Airalo eSIM is proven to work reliably in Tokyo Disney Resort and allows you to access the internet in Japan.

Buy an Airalo eSim

Can I delay buying Premier Access passes until later in the day?

Strategically this would probably be an error. To maximise your passes, it’s far more effective to book DPAs as soon as possible. They are not readily available later as they often run out fast. You usually get only a small window of time to snap the good ride Premier Access passes up. Particularly rides such as Frozen in DisneySea, and on busy days, Beauty and the Beast in Disneyland.

If you miss out, you may end up waiting 3 long hours in a queue as you watch Premier Access DPA pass holders walk right past you on their way down the fast lane.

How many Premier Access Passes can I buy?

You aren’t limited in number to how many Disney Premier Access Passes you buy, but eventually most – if not all – DPAs sell out. You also need to observe a waiting period of time between purchases.

How long do I have to wait between booking ride passes?

There is a minimum time delay between booking ride fast passes.

After purchasing a Disney Premier Access Pass you can buy your next Premier Pass either:

• right after you have scanned into your previous Premier Access pass, or
• one hour after the previous Premier Access pass was purchased.

Can I buy Premier Access DPA’s in advance?

No, you cannot buy Premier Access Passes until after you have scanned into the park. You can select from different times later in the day if they are selectable on the App.

Can I buy ride passes for family or friends who have not yet arrived in the park?

No, you cannot buy Premier Access (or make any other kind of booking) for anyone else who is not scanned into the park.

Do I have to buy a Tokyo Disney Premier Pass or Priority Pass for my under 4yo child?

No. If your child is aged under four years old, you do not have to buy or arrange any type of ride pass for them. They ride along with you for free providing they meet the ride height and age requirements.

How do I use a Tokyo Disney Premier Pass?

After booking on the official Tokyo Disney App, you will receive a 5 minute notification on the official Tokyo Disney App telling you to proceed to your booked pass ride.

When your ride ticket with code becomes visible on the app you can access the Priority Entrance of that ride. Be ready to scan your Pass barcode with the Cast Member. Walk along the Priority laneway to the head of the queue. You may need to scan your code again towards the end. You can watch how to use your Premier pass on our YouTube video here.

How many rides can I do with a Disney Premier pass?

Disney Premier Access Passes are only available for selected Tokyo Disney rides and will give you a once-only single use during the time period selected. You have a limited time period to use your Disney Premier Access pass.

Can I use my Premier Access Pass early?

Only marginally. You can use the pass when the actual photo Premier Access Pass or Priority ticket code appears visible in the app (usually within 5 minutes of the booked time). You won’t be allowed to use it any earlier.

Can I still use my ride pass if I arrive late?

The official answer would be no, however it can depend upon the ride attendants. If you have what is construed to be a valid reason then it’s possible that they may allow you to still use the pass even if you arrive outside of your allotted one-hour pass-use period. That said, I would recommend being on time to ensure that you don’t miss out.

Budgeting for Tokyo Disney – Ticket & ride passes

Is Tokyo Disney Resort cheaper than the USA Disney parks?

Yes. The Tokyo Disney Resort parks admission price is comparatively lower than other Disney theme parks – including the cheaper Asian Disney theme parks. Even with the purchase of Premier Access passes the total often still remains cheaper than USA Disney parks due to their higher park admission fees.

How much is a ticket to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea?

Tokyo Disney Resort 1 Day Passport admission ticket prices:

• Adult tickets range between 7,900 JPY – 10,900 JPY
• Junior tickets range between 6,600 JPY – 9,000 JPY
• Child tickets range between 4,700 JPY – 5,600 JPY
• Disabled adult tickets range between 6,500 JPY – 8,700 JPY
• Disabled Junior tickets range between 5,300 JPY – 7,200 JPY
• Disabled Child tickets range between 3,800 JPY – 4,400 JPY

Is there a DAS pass for Autism & other disabilities?

Learn more about Tokyo Disney Disability Tickets and DAS ride system.

Can you still get DPAs with an Early Evening Passport?

I haven’t listed Early Evening Passport prices in this article as a pass ride strategy. Early Evening Passports allow access to the TDR parks from 3:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, which is usually too late to expect there to be any DPAs left available.

What is the price of a Disney Premier Access Pass?

Our family are already big LEGO fans, but you don’t need to love LEGO to enjoy a visit to LEGOLAND with your family.

We’d already been lucky enough to visit LEGOLAND in California in 2020 and Legoland Windsor in 2025, so we knew that if LEGOLAND Malaysia was anything like it, it would be a whole lot of fun. The Malaysian LEGOLAND definitely didn’t disappoint!

Why take your Australian family to Malaysia LEGOLAND?

Malaysia LEGOLAND is Asia’s first LEGOLAND and Malaysia’s first international theme park. Themed to the hilt, the bright colours, happy atmosphere, boppy music and fun rides all mean there’s a lot to love there!

LEGOLANDs are great fun for every member of your family, from youngest to oldest. If your family love theme parks and like LEGO, then you’re going to absolutely love LEGOLAND Malaysia!

LEGOLAND Malaysia is only one hour from Singapore

Singapore has a huge amount of family fun to offer, and LEGOLAND makes the perfect Singapore side trip because it only takes one hour to get there from Changi Airport. We came straight from our hotel in Singapore, the Yotel Orchard – a super modern and fun hotel located right at Orchard Road.

LEGOLAND Malaysia is good value for Australian families

Malaysian hotels are cheaper than Singapore ones. A stay at the LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel is comparable to a three to four-star hotel in Singapore but the fun factor is much higher for families. So you can swap out one of your Singapore nights at LEGOLAND Malaysia like we did and it doesn’t cost you any more than your Singapore hotel would have!

Even though prices are cheaper in Malaysia, the LEGOLAND Malaysia resort is still a top-quality LEGOLAND resort with a great reputation as one of the world’s best theme parks.

The LEGOLAND theme park tickets represent good value in comparison to other LEGOLANDS. In addition, extra offers can be found throughout the resort. Take advantage of restaurant family deals to help stretch your Aussie dollar – or should I say, Malaysian Rinngit – further! Look at this spread we got for less than $40 – plus we got icecreams too! (We ended up with too much food actually, but we missed breakfast this day, so we did do it justice!)

What is at LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort?

The LEGOLAND Malaysia resort complex is made up of a large, themed hotel plus several attractions – all within easy walking distance of each other.

LEGOLAND Malaysia Hotel

Read our full LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel review here.

The huge official LEGO themed hotel towers over the complex with its LEGO block facade on the outside and fully themed interior. From the moment you enter the main lobby to check in you realise that this is no ordinary hotel – on the contrary, it’s a LEGO lover kid’s dream!

LEGOLAND Malaysia themed rooms

When booking a hotel room, you can choose from your favourite LEGO theme.

LEGOLAND themed rooms are an absolute delight and great fun to stay in. More like apartments, there is a main bedroom, a kid’s bunk room and bathroom.

Large LEGO figures decorate your room. From the walls to the quilt covers to the carpet, everything is awesome inside your LEGO hotel themed room!

There’s an entertainment schedule and roaming LEGOLAND characters to grab a photograph with. Up on the rooftop you’ll find a LEGO themed resort swimming pool with gorgeous views over the lush Malaysian countryside.

From the LEGO castle cubby and brick pits in the main lobby to the magical light and sound elevators and the huge family restaurant full of large LEGO statue installations – a stay at the LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel is an absolute must during your visit for the complete LEGOLAND experience.

Read our full LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel review here!

What is there to do at LEGOLAND Malaysia?

There are three main attractions at Malaysia LEGOLAND, all surrounding the LEGO hotel.

The Sea Life LEGOLAND aquarium is situated next door to the Hotel, and features a glass tunnel walk through.

The LEGOLAND water park has numerous themed water slides located across from the Hotel, on one side of the theme park.

By far, the main attraction at LEGOLAND Malaysia is the large LEGOLAND theme park, featuring numerous rides, displays and shows.

With so much on offer, you could easily spend a couple of days exploring the Malaysia LEGOLAND hotel and attractions.

What ages is LEGOLAND best suited for?

Unlike many other big theme parks, LEGOLAND is designed with small children in mind – but it’s not exclusive to them! Specifically, LEGOLAND fashions their park around children aged from 2 years old up to 12 years old (so, toddlers, preschoolers and primary school aged kids).

Even though several of the 40 rides and activities at LEGOLAND Malaysia are targeted towards young children, there is still a plethora of fantastic rides and entertainment to suit all ages.

Is LEGOLAND Malaysia good for adults?

In addition to the numerous families at LEGOLAND we also saw adults without kids, particularly couples and groups of friends. This is because the park itself is really entertaining and has a lot to offer everyone.

As both a parent, and an adult I really enjoyed our time there. I love LEGOLAND! It’s pure, unadulterated childhood fun that everyone loves – whether you are a LEGO fan, or not!

What can teenagers do at LEGOLAND?

Even though my kids are both teenagers now, we all agree that Malaysia LEGOLAND was a big highlight of what was already an epic Asian family holiday.

There are lots of rides that tweens, teenagers and parents can all enjoy together at LEGOLAND Malaysia. My girls (14 and 16 years old during our visit) say LEGOLAND is cool!

How many rides are at LEGOLAND Malaysia?

There are over 40 rides at LEGOLAND Malaysia, separated into 8 different themed worlds that are spread along a large walking circuit. Along the way you’ll also find restaurants, shows, characters, shops and other park features.

There are both fast-paced and slow and gentle rides at LEGOLAND.

Are there any thrill rides at the LEGOLAND theme park?

We rode and enjoyed several big thrill rides at LEGOLAND including Dino-Island – a breath-taking water flume plunge ride, the Ninjago laser shooting ride, a fast water carriage ride, and several exciting roller coasters.

In addition to the LEGOLAND rides, you can enjoy slow themed carriage and boat rides and enchanting walk-through LEGO displays.

Kids love to take part in LEGO building opportunities and workshop areas such as the LEGOLAND Academy.

A LEGOLAND cinema shows 4D movies, and a theatre performs live theatre shows each day starring Ninjago and LEGO Princess characters.

There’s a huge LEGO miniature countries display area situated within the centre of the park, which can also be seen from the colourful LEGOLAND train.

A favourite ride of mine was the large observation tower, “The Tower” which gently rises up to slowly rotate as it showcases beautiful views across the lush city-meets-jungle surroundings.

It’s the perfect opportunity to take a short break from all the running around and excitement. Grab an ice-cream or cool drink to take up with you so you can relax and take in the view whilst enjoying refreshments at the same time!

The huge LEGO gift shop at the front entrance has more LEGO than you’ve probably ever seen in one place! It’s hard not to walk out with at least one little set, and some are unique to LEGOLAND Malaysia.

All in all, it took us around four hours to circumnavigate the whole theme park. If we had had little ones with us, it could easily have been a full day out.

What are the LEGOLAND rides height limit?

A few rides at LEGOLAND are too small for adults, and some rides are too big for small children. Height guides are at the entrances to rides that have height minimums and maximus. There are plenty of English-speaking ride attendants to help supervise height limits.

LEGOLAND Malaysia weather

We visited Singapore and Malaysia during August and it was very hot and humid – you definitely need to keep your fluids up and drink plenty of water. We became connoisseurs of constant iced drinks! Malaysia enjoys a tropical climate, so it stays warm, humid and often rainy all year round. Just go with it – you’re in a different climate and on holiday – different is always a novelty!

Is it safe to go to Malaysia LEGOLAND?

Basic care and caution is always your friend when traveling. I’m sure I’m telling you the obvious here, but in Malaysia and elsewhere, terrorism is always a possibility. Always be sure to follow any Malaysia government directives or advice in the event of an emergency and consult with the Australian Embassy.

Before you go anywhere, always check the Australian Government Smartraveller website . They know which countries are a heightened risk to your safety. At the current time (January 2023), their advice is that visitors to Malaysia are advised to exercise normal safety precautions.

LEGOLAND Malaysia felt very safe to visit – it really felt a lot like a standard western theme park. Everyone spoke English everywhere. Everything was clean, neat and well-maintained. Quality food and water was always available to purchase.

Do I need cash for Legoland Malaysia?

No you don’t need Malaysian cash if you are just visiting Legoland Malaysia. Credit cards are readily accepted. The only thing you need cash for is if you are going shopping outside of the parks, or if you want to buy a copper press coin inside the park. Cash can be obtained from the ATM at the front entrance.

Helpful English-speaking staff are dotted all around LEGOLAND to answer any questions or concerns visitors might have, too.

The hotel was also very clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere overall at LEGOLAND Malaysia was a warm and welcoming one.

Discounted LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel rooms

I actually found the cheapest LEGOLAND Hotel room deal on a hotel comparison website instead of booking directly with LEGOLAND, so it may be worth checking first – it saved me almost $100 a night! Read more in our LEGOLAND Hotel review here.

The cheapest LEGOLAND Malaysia tickets were on Klook

I like to shop around for the cheapest prices always, so I researched prices on the official LEGOLAND website, the third party app Pelago and the third party app Klook.

I purchased through Klook as it had the cheapest LEGOLAND Malaysia tickets. I also liked that you could downloaded the Klook app to your phone and then have your purchased tickets easily accessible digitally. I bought several of our Singapore attractions tickets on Klook, so it worked really well for me during our Singapore family holiday.

Another benefit was that the ticket codes meant no standing around in lines – you can go straight to the express entrance gates to be scanned in. So you can skip the queues!

You can buy competitively priced LEGOLAND Malaysia and other Singapore family attraction tickets on Klook here

LEGOLAND Malaysia is closed on Wednesdays

LEGOLAND Malaysia completely closed on Wednesdays, and the LEGOLAND Water Park is closed on Tuesdays.

Go to LEGOLAND Malaysia on a weekday

LEGOLAND Malaysia is most quiet on weekdays. We went on a Monday and it was extremely quiet, with no queueing for rides. LEGOLAND staff told me that weekends are apparently very busy, so it’s good to avoid weekends for your visit if possible.

The LEGOLAND Hotel was moderately busy even on a Monday, however the LEGOLAND Hotel is a big part of the experience, so do try to stay there if possible!

LEGOLAND Malaysia have one huge LEGOLAND hotel set right in the middle of the surrounding attractions. You can’t miss it – because it looks as though it’s constructed out of gigantic LEGOBLOCKS! Huge LEGO figures guard the entrance doors and make for really wonderful family photos, too!

Everything is Awesome!

One of our absolute favourite hotel stays anywhere, LEGOLAND Hotels are exactly as the LEGO song says – Everything Is Awesome!

They are themed to the max – absolutely everything, from the walls to the carpet to the lobby to the hotel pool to the very food you eat in the restaurant is – well – LEGO! Or at least, it looks like it. You don’t need to love LEGO to get completely caught up in the fun of a stay inside a LEGOLAND Hotel. It’s a destination all of its own.

LEGOLAND Hotel Lobby

From the moment you enter the main lobby to check in you realise that this is no ordinary hotel. It truly is a LEGO lover’s dream!

The Lobby is covered in play areas. Scattered big LEGO pits for random LEGO building, a giant LEGO castle and pirate ship to play in, and the most LEGO minifigs you’ve ever seen in your life along the wall at Hotel Reception. Good luck getting your kids out of the Lobby. Even my teenagers were engrossed in LEGO building when it was time to leave!

Free Entertainment

Check your schedule as soon as you arrive, because although the LEGOLAND theme park, water park and SeaLife Aquarium are the main attractions at LEGOLAND Malaysia, there’s also free entertainment happening in the LEGOLAND Hotel too, as part of your stay! Keep an eye out for LEGO characters wandering around for you to pose with for photographs too!

A gift shop is inside the hotel

Leaving in the morning but you were too busy to find time for the huge LEGO shop in the LEGOLAND theme park? Never fear, there’s a gift shop off the hotel lobby with after-hours time slots too! Keep your eyes open for the exclusive LEGOLAND Malaysia LEGO sets for a truly unique souvenir!

The LEGOLAND elevators

Get ready for a magical ride up to your room, because the LEGOLAND lifts are boppy, musical fun with lights and sounds galore. We had a disco rule that you had to dance every time you got into the lift – it was hilarious good fun, and what other hotel can you do that in and not look just a little crazy?!

Our LEGOLAND Premium Adventure themed room

I don’t care how old you are – lying under a LEGO quilt cover gazing out at LEGO themed walls, carpet and LEGO figures and models on the walls is darn fun! That’s what you’ll get with a Premium LEGO room.

Pay the little bit extra for premium or deluxe if you can, as you’ll get more luxurious decorations and more LEGO figurines in your room. Remember, your child will never be this young again, and they will love their stay even more with their very own LEGO decorations to sleep next to.

I have to admit, it gave me a bit of a thrill too – staying at a LEGOLAND Hotel is a magical experience for any LEGO-loving family, young or old!

LEGOLAND rooms are more like suites

LEGOLAND themed rooms have a main bedroom for parents with a TV, desk, chair and telephone, and a bunk room for up to three children with their own TV. It’s not an ordinary bunk bed of course – it’s covered in LEGO pictures, LEGO decorations and there’s even themed LEGO figures.

My girls are tall teenagers, and they fit the bunk beds just fine, too. A trundle pulls out for a third child if needed.

Our room had two big and two child sized robes to borrow and slippers to keep. There were abundant tea and coffee facilities supplied too.

What themed rooms are available at LEGOLAND Malaysia?

Themed rooms include Pirate themed, Adventure themed (our room – think Egypt and Indianna Jones), Ninjago themed and Kingdom themed (medieval times like knights, princes and princesses). Read more about all the different themes and deluxe add-ons at the LEGOLAND My (LEGOLAND Malaysia) official website here.

LEGOLAND hotel bathrooms are also themed

It’s not just limited to the bedrooms though – oh no. Even the ensuite is LEGO themed – how fun is that?! There’s nothing quite like taking a shower surrounded by LEGO  – it’s just so much fun! There’s a child sized bathroom sink as well as an adult sized one too.

Also included are toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoos and conditioner and soap.

A mysterious locked LEGOLAND Hotel room safe!

Just like LEGOLAND California, LEGOLAND Malaysia also has a mysterious coded safe in their hotel rooms – guarded by a LEGO animal figure! How do you find the safe padlock code? And what’s inside?

It may or may not be a little surprise gift for each of your little LEGO fans when they solve the supplied clues! (Or you can just ring reception if you get stuck and they’ll give you the code!)

The LEGOLAND Hotel swimming pool shouldn’t be missed

Bring your swimsuits with you! It may seem like you are already pressed for time with so much fun on offer, but you really should allow some time for the LEGOLAND Malaysia LEGO themed hotel swimming pool. It’s the perfect place to cool off in the tropical Malaysian climate.

Up on the roof top with gorgeous views across the surrounding Malaysian high-rises-meets-jungle, this is a truly beautiful hotel pool experience.

There’s a smaller kiddie pool adjoining the big swimming pool too, with floatie jackets to wear and giant pieces of foam LEGO to play with (what else, of course!).

The LEGOLAND Malaysia family restaurant

Just like the hotel itself, eating in the huge family restaurant is an experience in itself.

Full of large LEGO statue installations, eating at the restaurant is worth it just to see them. Everywhere you wander in the restaurant there’s a comical set of huge LEGO figures stuck in hilarious poses – tripping over, dodging pancakes….it’s so fun!

Purchase the family dinner deal for an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner of everything you can imagine, including lots of Western kid’s meal favourites like chicken nuggets and chips.

If you have a fussy eater, there’s lots of fried kids food choices, as well as basics like bread and rice – even green rice! There’s plenty of cooked vegetables, fruit and of course lots of yummy desserts too!

Breakfast has all the standard western food choices (so Australian brekky favs) like cereal, toast, pancakes, eggs and lots more.

You’ll find a cafe outside of the main restaurant too for mum and dad to get their barista coffee or tea fix and a nice cake to go down with it – and of course there is a whole other LEGO play area right there too, so you may actually get to finish your coffee – lovely!
