Guests Block the Entrance to Tokyo Disneyland Hours Before the Park Even Opens
WDWNT posted an image yesterday showcasing the commitment from the Japanese community to ensuring they enter the parks hours before it opens to get a spot for a special parade that starts much later in the day. The guests essentially blocked the entrance to the park as they lined up and sat down in droves to ensure they got in at least 5 hours before the park even opened.
According to WDWNT on Twitter, the crowds gathered at 5 a.m., four hours before the park opened to the general public. These folks lined up and blocked the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland to “get a good spot for the 3:30 p.m. parade.”
The parade in question is the all-new Spooky “Boo!” Parade that is new to the Disney Resort. According to the official Tokyo Disney Resort website:
For the first time in four years, the floats will make stops along the parade route during the performance. Disney friends and guests, together with the dancers, are invited to a Halloween themed version of Tokyo Disneyland.
From September 15 through October 31, 2023, Disney Premier Access will be available for “Spooky ‘Boo!’ Parade” which will be presented during the “Disney Halloween” event period. Additional information will be announced as soon as it is determined.
The crowds will likely continue throughout the day as this is the first time in four years that a new parade has been introduced to this Disney park. Halloween season is a popular one globally, meaning Japan is no exception.
But aside from this new offering, Tokyo Disney Resort offers a wide variety of things for guests, like staying at a Tokyo Disneyland hotel, Fantasy Spring, Downtown Disney, Tokyo Bay, multiple opportunities to stay at a Disney hotel, Disney Resort Line, Tokyo Disney Sea, a Disney store, and more. A ticket allows guests to experience the culture of Japan, which differs from anything Walt Disney World Resort offers. Some hotel offerings include Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel, Hotel Miracosta, Hilton Tokyo Bay, and other official hotels. Some attractions at this Disney theme park include Space Mountain, Critter Country, World Bazaar, and other attractions and lands.
Some ways to arrive at this Disneyland Resort include the Tokyo Disneyland station, Narita Airport, through a Resort gateway station, Bayside Station, Jr Maihama station, and others. The Oriental Land Company owns this Disney Resort, which differs from the Walt Disney Company. A park ticket, like the one you get when visiting Disneyland Paris or any other Walt Disney Parks, will allow you to enter a world of magic and imagination for all ages.
What are your thoughts on these guests lining up and blocking the entrance hours before starting a new parade?
