Tokyo Disney Resort is well-known for its seasonal events throughout the year, from the hyper-cute Easter event in the spring to the festive Tanabata Days at the beginning of summer. No matter when you decide to visit, there’s almost always something special going on.

These special events offer merchandise, food, entertainment, and decorations. With the constant changes at the Resort, it’s tough to keep up with it all. This guide will show you these events at a glance and make your trip planning less daunting.

Things to Know

• Event-specific merchandise and food comes out usually a week before the event begins (we’ll share exact dates when we know)
• Most event merchandise is gone right after the event ends
  • There are some instances where items are available for a few days after, but it’s not common
• There is non-seasonal merchandise that’s released almost every month
• Decorations for events start going up before the event begins (usually a week prior)
  • Halloween decorations should start going up September 3
  • Christmas decorations should start going up November 1
  • Based on experience and not guaranteed
• Previews for seasonal entertainment sometimes happens a few days before the event begins (check the times board at either park)
