I don’t think the current packages sold to US customers have parade/show seating as an option.
Then there are less (MAJOR) reasons to get the vacation package for US vacationers.

For me, I find it to be worth it for the guaranteed Fantasy Springs access alone. I don't plan on returning to Japan for at least a few years and I want to experience the new attractions.What?!

You should probably get used to the idea that most thing in Japan are easier and better if you live in Japan or at least have a Japanese bank account from previously living in Japan. It's unfortunate for the rest of us, but it is what it is.What?!

Yeah, that's the only reason I did it. We aren't big parade people. We just wanted to know that we'd have a chance to see Fantasy Springs. The package is already way over my budget, and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or not. But I feel like without it our chances are very low. I don't imagine we will be back to Japan again for many years (if ever). We have multiple weeks in Korea and Japan, and Disneyland/DisneySea is just the last few days of our trip.For me, I find it to be worth it for the guaranteed Fantasy Springs access alone.

My sister and I also aren't major parade people but we do plan on buying premier access to watch the Disneysea night time show.
Our line of thinking is that it cannot be so difficult to get into the new land. It has several high capacity attractions. It’s quite a big land. We just don't want to pay that much money for a few hours. BUT we also know that we love everything else in these two parks, which we will be able to see for sure. We also have two days at TDS planned. And we know we will be back. Will we be disappointed if we don’t even see the land? Yes! Is that chance worth it for us to pay that much money (it’s the cost of a short trip to DLP, our local park)? For us it isn’t. But it’s a decision that everyone needs to make from their own perspective. I just wanted to give you an idea that there are other perspectives, too. And yes, we will be there mid-June, too.Yeah, that's the only reason I did it. We aren't big parade people. We just wanted to know that we'd have a chance to see Fantasy Springs.

Yes, that’s kind of our strategy. Getting a DPA as soon as we get in. We are ok with not seeing it all - and we do have wiggle room and can add another day at TDS (if tickets are available).I don't think it will be impossible to get into the land but it will likely be impossible to do more than 1 DPA attraction per day until at least August. If you've planned 3 days in DisneySea, you should be able to experience all the attractions in Fantasy Springs by getting to the gates early on each of those days.
For me, the value of one Fantasy Springs ticket is more than the value of 3 tickets to DisneySea and the accompanying hotels since I get one lower stress day to experience Fantasy Springs rather than have to deal with multiple stressful days with only a tiny taste of Fantasy Springs each.
Yes. DPA will be available for 3 of the rides, except Tink. All rides will have Standby Pass available too. No entrance without a pass/access to a ride or restaurant.When FS first opens, has it been confirmed that you will need the Passport Ticket, DPA/PP for one of the rides and/or a restaurant “reservation”/mobile order in order to enter the land?
For sure! I wouldn’t be surprised if the premier/standby passes sell out from MiraCosta early entry guests alone! Plus Fantasy Springs Hotel guests will probably be in the mix too? Since they may not buy a 1-day passport for every day of their stay, they’d also be in that early entry pool trying to secure passes on those days.- Booking Miracosta and using Happy 15 for Disneysea will give you a bigger opportunity to book both a standby and DPA pass.
Then an even smaller pool of standby riders!…I don’t think the restaurants help you get in the new land. I think I read somewhere in the FAQ that you can’t even mobile order without already being allowed in for another reason— and that if you are in the land and leave before picking up your food and don’t have the full day pass or aren’t staying at the new hotel then you won’t even be allowed back in to pick up your food.
If only they would do that for MC...ha! Perhaps down the road they will, once they get a handle on how busy it is. I'm not sure how long this passport business will even go on, it surely is an interesting test run to have the "unlimited" ride aspect (unless Tokyo Disney has used something like this before, I don't know the history very well).I wonder why they didn't add Miracosta guests on the list of those who can buy a Fantasy Springs ticket.
Although we haven't really fully seen the inside of the Fantasy Springs Hotel, In the long run I feel like the Miracosta will be the better looking one of the two. Something about the new hotel seems flat.
Even with that, I tried booking a night there just to get the Fantasy Springs passport but that was a fail haha.
The only ways to enter are with the Fantasy Springs Magic pass, staying at the new Fantasy Springs hotel, have a standby pass for a ride, or a premiere access pass for a ride:

Here's the part about not being allowed back in Fantasy Springs once you leave unless you have the Fantasy Springs Magic pass or are staying at the Fantasy Springs Hotel (note: this applies to rides, too! If your standby passes or premiere access passes are spread out throughout the day, you can't leave in between):

Mobile order timeslots only allowed when you're allowed in Fantasy Springs (can order before entering if timeslots correspond to your allowed entry time):

FS Hotel has a dedicated entrance to the land. It’s one of the perks.I wonder why they didn't add Miracosta guests on the list of those who can buy a Fantasy Springs ticket.

They have thought of literally everything! I think the only questions I have are all speculative, like how early are MiraCosta people going to start lining up in JuneI am totally in love with the TDR FAQ. It’s truly an amazing thing, not just for FS, but for almost anything at the resort.
