Tokyo Disneyland Reopening on July 1, 2020 • TDR Explorer

Tokyo Disney Resort has announced that both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea will reopen on July 1, 2020, after temporarily closing on February 29, 2020. Its shopping complex, Ikspiari, reopened on June 1, 2020. The parks are to have a reduced capacity of about 15,000 guests and will require a reservation to visit.

Tokyo Disney Resort is the final Disney Resort in Asia to reopen after the closures. Both Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland reopened on May 11 and June 18, 2020, respectively. Universal Studios Japan also reopened on June 8, 2020.

Let’s take a look at how the Parks in Japan are going to be doing their reopening and how it’ll affect your visit.

Visiting Tokyo Disney Resort After Reopening

There’s a lot about the reopening to know and how it’ll affect you if you live in Japan and plan to visit. As of June 22, 2020, there are still travel bans for those coming from various countries including Japan including Canada, United States, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and more. It’s not known when these travel bans will be lifted.

Here’s a rundown of how the park is implementing safety and health measures. Including how to buy tickets during their reopening phase. It’s important to note that the Beauty and the Beast expansion at Tokyo Disneyland isn’t opening right away and date will be set later.

Both Parks have reduced hours of 08:00 to 20:00. All the measures mentioned here are until further notice.
