The new Tokyo Disney Priority Access pass is available on the Disney App

Unlike the US Disney Lightning Lane systems, the new Priority Pass express passes are being described as possibly short-term with “no confirmed end-date”.

Whether they stay in their current form, are discontinued or become a paid feature remains to be seen.

In the meantime at least, during the Tokyo Disney Resort’s 40th Anniversary celebrations the Priority Passes are regularly available and free of charge.

Here’s all the important info all you need to know about the new Tokyo Disneyland Priority Pass 2023!

Tokyo Disney fast pass fast facts

Use the Tokyo Disney App to get your fast passes

What is the new Tokyo Disney fast pass called?

The new fastpass is named the Tokyo Disney Resort 40th Anniversary Priority Pass.

Does Tokyo Disney Sea have fast passes?

The Tokyo Disney Priority Pass system will be available in both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea theme parks

Priority Access passes are available at both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea

When does the new Tokyo Disneyland Priority Pass start rolling out?

The new Disney Priority Pass system is now in operation, commencing almost immediately upon announcement and starting on July 26, 2023.

Are Tokyo Disney fast passes guaranteed to be available?

No. The official website states that “depending on park operating conditions”, the Priority Pass system may not be available on your day of visit.

As the Tokyo Disney 2023 fast pass system is still very new, we are yet to determine what would influence the non-availability of the new Priority Pass system.

The only way to know for sure at this point is to check the app immediately upon park entry – and make sure you have your location turned on for the Tokyo Disney App to work correctly!

Does Tokyo Disneyland have free wifi?

Yes but it’s unreliable. You’ll need your own independent wifi to use the ride fast pass systems, as Tokyo Disney’s wifi doesn’t work in all areas of both parks.

You need to be on Tokyo Disney park grounds for the fast pass systems to be bookable

How much is a Tokyo Disney Priority Pass?

Unlike the paid Tokyo Disney Premier Pass option, this new fast-pass is available for no extra charge to Disney Tokyo guests.

The new Tokyo Disney Priority Access pass is a free fast pass option for Tokyo Disney park ticket holders.

The paid option, Tokyo Disney Premier Pass will continue to be available to buy for select popular rides such as the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast ride, which currently isn’t available as a Priority Pass selection.

What’s the difference between the Tokyo Disney Premier Pass and Priority Pass?

The Tokyo Disney Premier Pass is a paid option only available for a few of the most popular rides at each Tokyo Disney Park. Because it is a paid option there is less demand and more availability. You can buy Premier Passes more than once for each ride, once per hour so there is more time choice flexibility. You just need to book Premier Passes consecutively. So, one booking at a time. Book, enter your ride, book again after an hour has passed.

The Tokyo Disney Priority Pass is a free option for several rides which is issued on a first-come, first-served basis. You are allocated a time during the day (if there is still availability) for the ride you choose.  You can only use this service only once for each of the available rides. You need to book Priority Passes consecutively. So, one booking at a time. Book, enter your ride, book again or you can book again after two hours – 120 minutes – has passed from your previous ride booking – whichever comes first.

Which Tokyo Disneyland rides have the Priority Pass?

Tokyo Disneyland rides with Priority Pass are termed as “eligible experiences” which will show on your app on the day you are at the park.

Rides currently listed are Star Tours: The Adventures Continue ride, the Space Mountain ride, the Haunted Mansion ride, Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters ride, the Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek, the Pooh’s Hunny Hunt ride and the Big Thunder Mountain ride.

Which Tokyo Disney Sea rides have the Priority Pass?

Tokyo Disneyland rides with Priority Pass are termed as “eligible experiences” which will show on your app on the day you are at the park.

Rides currently listed are the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride, the Indiana Jones Adventure – Temple of the Crystal ride, the Nemo & Friends Sea Rider ride, the Aquatopia ride (only for a limited time during the current special version – ends September 6 2023), The Magic Lamp Theatre, Turtle Talk, Skull and the Raging Spirits roller coaster.

Does Tokyo Disney have a Lightning Lane?

The system works in a similar way to the USA Lightning Lane system, and it’s hoped it will also help with Tokyo Disney’s constant ride queue congestion.

Like the Disneyland California Lightning Lane system, guests can nominate their first Priority Pass Disney ride on the app when they enter the park. The next booking either needs to wait until you’ve scanned in to your existing Priority Pass ride – or be made at least a two-hours after your prior booking. Each ride can only be booked once.

How do I get a Tokyo Disney Priority Pass?

The Priority ticketing system works on a first-come-first-served basis. You apply via the app and are allocated a time range to arrive at the Priority Access entrance (the fast lane, or Lightning Lane as it’s known in USA Disney parks). Close to your time range will receive a QR code on your app.

Arrive at the Priority Access lane entrance during your allotted time range to scan the Priority Pass QR code on the Tokyo Disney App to enter.

Skip the long queue and enjoy your reduced wait time for your chosen ride!

How many times can you use the Priority Access ride fast pass?

2 hours after you make your Priority Pass booking or right after you scan-in to the Priority Access entrance (whichever comes first) you can book your next Priority Pass ride time.

Can you choose the time period you want to use your Priority Pass?

No, you will be given the next available Priority Pass time, if available.

Will children aged 3 and under also be allowed to ride with me during our Priority Pass time?

Yes, 3 and unders can be accompanied by an adult using their Priority Pass on age and size appropriate rides, as per usual.

Can I still buy paid Tokyo Disneyland Premier Access Passes to rides?

Yes, you can still buy Premier Passes at Tokyo Disney parks.

How much do Tokyo Disney Premiere Passes cost?

Prices vary, however you can see a list of the current Tokyo Disney Premier Access Pass prices and rules here.

The Beauty and the Beast ride by fast-pass is only available using a Premier Pass
