With Spring break hitting the country this week and next, theme parks will be overcrowded. But it seems that the United States isn’t the only place experiencing overcrowded theme Parks. A recent video surfaced showcasing the massive crowds at Tokyo Disneyland. I have never seen crowds like this.
Have you ever heard of Disneyland in Tokyo? If not, let me fill you in briefly before getting into the insane video.

Tokyo Disneyland Explained
Tokyo Disneyland opened its doors in 1983, nearly 40 years ago. The theme Park is located at the Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, right outside Tokyo.
You can enjoy seven different themed areas:
- World Bazaar
- Adventureland
- Westernland
- Fantasyland
- Tomorrowland
- Critter Country
- Toontown
In the last four years, Tokyo Disneyland has been the most visited theme Park in Japan, and the third-most theme Park in the world, just behind Magic Kingdom at Disney World and Disneyland Park in California.
Guests can also enjoy a relaxed visit with Disney characters at a Tokyo Disneyland hotel. They also have a Tokyo Disney Resort app.
Tokyo Disneyland is celebrating its 40th anniversary starting April 15, 2023. Fans flying to Tokyo can book their flights through Haneda Airport. Those already in Tokyo can enjoy a lovely train ride via the Jr Maihama Station.

Tokyo Disneyland’s Busy Season
Like any other theme Park, there’s an off-season and a busy season. For Tokyo Disneyland, their busy season tends to be around Spring, when Japan celebrates its holiday, Golden Week, which falls in the first two weeks of April.
Spring break and Golden Week tend to draw massive numbers of people to their Parks from all over Japan. They also celebrate Easter along with their 40th celebration happening in a week.
With that being said, a video surfaced on social media recently demonstrating these Spring and Golden Week break crowds. Again, I’ve never seen groups like this. Let’s get into it.

The Twitter user was on the Disneyland monorail when they recorded the insane video. Pulling into Tokyo DisneySea, they took out their phone and recorded the quick clip.
Not much more was said in the video or post other than this being the norm for theme Parks in Japan.
What do you think of the video above? Aren’t those crowds massive? Have you seen bigger groups than this for a Disney Resort Park? Let us know in the comments below.
