We prebought two day tickets but because we got to Tokyo in the afternoon the day before our first planned day, we headed over to Disneyland and bought one of the “6pm” tickets for that night - basically for a cheaper price you’re allowed into the park from 6pm. That gave us a chance to orientate ourselves, and that plus the two days was enough for us to do everything we wanted (including some rides several times and seeing the electrical parade twice).

We stayed at a more budget hotel nearby and walked the 15 minutes or so to the parks as we couldn’t get availability at the hotels we wanted. It was travelodge-style but clean and quiet with free breakfast and frankly we were barely in the room.

As PP said, Tokyo still has the old paper FP system. Popular rides do run out quickly, I recommend reading the TDR Explorer site for planning tips. That’s where we found out about the 6pm ticket.

I went in October, one day was gorgeous and then it tipped it down for most of the second day, but we carried on regardless!
