Tokyo Disneyland is an incredible Disney Park, featuring some truly stunning theming and amazing rides and attractions at both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. However, the Park has been operating at a pretty low capacity due to COVID-19. This is all about to change though, as an announcement was just made regarding the capacity.
The Oriental Land Company has announced that they will, in conjunction with the Chiba Prefectural Government, raise the overall capacity of Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea to 50% of full capacity which is somewhere around 40,000 Guests. The capacity use to sit somewhere around just 20,000.
A recent announcement from The Oriental Land Company filed us in on this change with Tokyo Disneyland’s capacity being increased.

Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea have restricted the number of visitors based on the request from Chiba Prefecture during the period of priority measures such as prevention of spread after January 21 (Friday), but this time, Chiba As a result of consulting with Chiba Prefecture and making adjustments based on the description of the request from the prefecture *, it was approved that the limit on the number of visitors would be relaxed within the range not exceeding 50% of the accommodation rate. ..

Requests, etc. (February 10, 4th year of Reiwa) “)” If you wish to have more than 20,000 people at the facility where the infection control safety plan has been formulated and confirmed by the prefecture, the maximum number of people for the event will exceed 20,000.

While the Park will only remain at 50% capacity, this is still a great step forward to getting the Disney Parks back to more normal operating procedures. Hong Kong Disneyland still remains in a troubled state with the Park’s opening being used back seemingly every week.
At Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, the Parks are still continuing to follow a capacity limit. Guests who want to enter any Park on either coast must have a Disney Park Pass reservation as well as a valid ticket. The biggest difference between the American Disney Parks and Tokyo Disney is that capacity limits are no longer being announced by Disney, so Guests have no idea what capacity the Parks are operating at. However, due to the increased crowds as of late, and the new cut of the mask mandates for vaccinated Guests, it seems likely that capacity is continuing to increase as time goes on.
