Events

Donald’s Hot Jungle Summer is a brand new event with a bright and colourful theme. There is new merchandise, a fire and water-themed menu, and the unmissable Oh! Summer Banzai! night-time castle show!

Disney Pirates Summer at Tokyo DisneySea also has new food and merchandise, as well as the return of the very popular Pirates Summer Battle “Get Wet!” harbor show, featuring Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa.

Tokyo DisneySea is also hosting Duffy’s Sunny Fun. There are adorable decorations in Cape Cod and a few new menu items with a souvenir plate and cup, but the beach-themed merchandise is definitely the highlight.

Finally, Both parks are hosting the mini Funtime with Toy Story 4 event to mark the release of the new Toy Story movie. There’s merchandise, food and a Find Forky treasure hunt in Tokyo Disneyland.

Crowds

Crowds start to pick up in July due to school holidays and continue through to August. Marine Day is on Monday, July 15, and makes for a long weekend and larger crowds. It’s always best to visit Tuesday through Thursday.

Buy your tickets in advance to avoid long lines. Consult the Tokyo Disneyland crowd calendar for the latest predictions. Also, read our guide to know the best and worst times to visit Tokyo Disney Resort.

Weather

The average temperature for July is 26°C (79°F), which means you need to be ready for the heat. For other months, make sure to read our article on when to visit (it breaks down each month for you).

Sunscreen, boatloads of water, watching the summer shows to cool down, and frequent breaks are my recommendation to make sure you have a safe and wonderful time at the park. It doesn’t rain much during this time, but it does happen.

Check our packing list, which covers items that you can bring for the summer. One item you can get before you come is the cooling towel. I use this each time I am at the parks in the summer.
