You’re very welcome, so glad you’re all booked! Have a wonderful time!

Hi Barbara, thanks so much for your reply. I found the post I mentioned and I had it wrong sorry. They were refunded after a KKDay presale.

Anyhow we’ve done it! Booked for our dates.

Thank you again for this post. So helpful!

Hi there, it’s such a difficult thing to predict. I know! I haven’t actually come across a post where someone said they were reimbursed an amount so that is surprising. I do know that the prices do fluctuate and that’s usually based upon demand which can be very tricky at this time of year of course with Halloween crossing over into Christmas the demand increases. Each time I’ve just booked it as soon as I’ve known my dates – I left the three hour VIP last time we went and did the five hour and there was no way I could get it. I asked on site and searched online but when they are gone, they are gone so if you have a set date, yes, I think I would just bite the bullet and buy it as soon as you see it. That’s what I did with the three hour for our next visit. I know that the price that I paid when I bought it was about $30 more expensive than what it is now but the availability is almost nothing. I think for peace of mind get it while you can and don’t expect any kind of refund if there is a difference. Good luck!

I’ve been checking Klook this week in prep for our chosen day in Nov to appear and the pricing is creeping up to over $3000. I’s that normal that they fluctuate?

And say that our chosen day is over $3000, is that the final price? – I had seen a past post where a family had paid a certain amount and later been refunded a portion of the cost.

I will probably bear the cost as I’m not sure we will do it again when our kids are the perfect ages but would also be great to get home back! 😁

Many thanks for your time.

Hi, yes you can! Have a read of my new 5hr VIP Review – I’ve listed what we did minute to minute: https://letsgomum.com.au/universal-studios-japan-5-hour-vip-tour-review-24052026/

I think probably a five hour or eight hour VIP is your best chance but I couldn’t say for sure. Have you watched my video on VIPs? There are two forms. The first one is a basic one and then the second one asks in more detail what you would like to do and that would be where I would emphasise how important that show is. I’m not saying it would work but I’m saying that that’s one way to get them to understand that that’s what you really want to do. I guess the only other alternative is giving the Japanese website to go but you’re not really supposed to – if it’s super important to you I would try everything.

No you’re all good for your tour. You discuss what you would like to do with your tour guide too. I think the form is to help them book unusual extra shows or things that require more planning. The 5hr is an excellent choice – you’ll have a great time! We have one coming up too 😍
