About this forecast
We collect data every day and build our Tokyo DisneySea crowd forecast from the data we have accumulated. The accuracy score at the top shows honestly how well we have been doing.
Reading the calendar
Days are rated on a 1–7 scale (lower = quieter). Tap a date for weather, temperature and wait-time estimates; past dates show recorded data. If you want to enjoy the harbour shows and night views at a relaxed pace, picking a low-level weekday makes a big difference.
FAQ
Q. How often is the data updated?
A. We collect data every day and build our forecasts from the data we have accumulated. The written content on this page was checked against the official site on October 15, 2026 (the closure list was rechecked on October 23, 2026).
Q. Can the forecast be wrong?
A. Yes — that is why we publish our accuracy score right on the calendar. Crowd levels can differ from our forecast, so treat it as a planning guide.
Q. When are the best days to visit in November 2026–January 2027?
A. On our forecast, if you can go on a weekday, the first half of November before Christmas starts, December up to mid-month, and January after the New Year holidays are the easier stretches. If budget matters most, the official ¥9,900 days of November 2–6 and the ¥8,900 days of January 6–8 are also worth a look.
Q. Can I ride Tower of Terror and Indiana Jones Adventure?
A. Per the official closure info, Tower of Terror is closed from September 28 through November 5, 2026, and is expected to be available again from November 6. Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull is closed through November 29 and reopens on November 30. Journey to the Center of the Earth is closed from January 8 through March 8, 2027.
Q. Are there days when the evening shows aren’t running?
A. Yes. November 27, 2026 is a shortened-hours day running 9:00 AM–6:30 PM, with “Believe! Sea of Dreams,” “Special Image Projection: Sparkling Jubilee Night,” and “Starbright Christmas” suspended. “Believe! Sea of Dreams” is also closed from January 6 through February 4, 2027, and on the shortened-hours days of January 22 and 28 the fireworks and the Sparkling Jubilee Night projection are listed as suspended.
Q. How much are tickets?
A. Per the official ticket calendar, a 1-Day Passport (adult) is ¥9,900–¥12,400 (approx. $66–$83 USD) in November, ¥10,900–¥12,400 (approx. $73–$83 USD) in December, and ¥8,900–¥11,900 (approx. $59–$79 USD) in January 2027 (as of October 15, 2026). This is an unofficial fan-made forecast site, so please confirm the price shown on the Tokyo Disney Resort official website when you buy.
Q. Is the 25th-anniversary period busier than usual?
A. Not every day during the 25th anniversary is crowded. On our forecast, the busier stretches are long weekends, weekends, and the run from Christmas Day through the New Year holidays.

Tokyo DisneySea crowd forecast summary: November 2026–January 2027
“We want to visit DisneySea at Christmas — will Tower of Terror be running?” “When does it settle down after New Year?”
When you try to pick a winter DisneySea date with kids, it’s not just the crowds — the ride closures and whether the evening shows are on come into it too.
Here’s the short answer first. On our forecast, weekends and long weekends and the run from Christmas Day through the year-end are the busy stretches across these three months. If you can choose a weekday, the first half of November before Christmas starts and January after the New Year holidays are the easier stretches.
If you’re torn between DisneySea and Disneyland, our Tokyo Disneyland crowd calendar lets you compare the same dates side by side.
This is the three months when the seasonal events change over from Christmas to the New Year, all while the Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary “Sparkling Jubilee” continues.
At DisneySea this season, popular attractions come back from closures and new closures begin month by month. If there’s a ride your family has to do, check the closure periods as well as the event dates before you pick a date.
This page summarizes the coming three months for families, based on our own crowd-forecast calendar. Note that our crowd levels are forecasts, not guarantees of how busy a day will actually be — check the calendar above for the day-to-day differences.
Below, we use the official event dates, closure periods and ticket prices to help you decide which day to pick.
Tokyo DisneySea November 2026 crowd trend
On our forecast, the calmest days in November are the weekdays before Christmas starts on the 11th. From the 11th on, many weekdays look not much different from weekends.
Sunday, November 1 through Tuesday, November 10 is the changeover stretch after Halloween ends and before Christmas begins. In Lost River Delta, “Lazos de la Familia” runs through Monday, November 2.
The national holidays are Tuesday, November 3 (Culture Day) and Monday, November 23 (Labor Thanksgiving Day), making Saturday, November 21 through Monday, November 23 a three-day weekend.
Ticket prices help with the date choice too. On the official ticket calendar, a 1-Day Passport (adult) is ¥9,900 (approx. $66 USD) from Monday, November 2 through Friday, November 6 — the cheapest band of the month — and Tuesday, November 3 (the holiday) is also at this price.
Sunday, November 1 and weekdays from Saturday, November 7 onward are ¥10,900 (approx. $73 USD), Sunday, November 15 and Sunday, November 29 are ¥11,900 (approx. $79 USD), and Saturday, November 14, Saturday, November 21, Sunday, November 22 and Saturday, November 28 are ¥12,400 (approx. $83 USD), the highest price of the month.
For two adults, a ¥9,900 day and a ¥12,400 day are ¥5,000 (approx. $33 USD) apart. If you’re watching the budget, start with the weekdays early in the month.
Christmas starts on November 11
“Disney Christmas” runs from Wednesday, November 11 through Friday, December 25. Per the official site, Christmas menu items go on sale from Sunday, November 1 and special merchandise from Tuesday, November 10.
In Mediterranean Harbor, “Disney Christmas Greeting” — Mickey Mouse, Duffy and friends, and Santa Claus appearing on boats — is presented twice a day, about 15 minutes each.
For the evening, “Sky Full of Colors” is suspended from Wednesday, November 11 through Friday, December 25, and the Christmas fireworks “Starbright Christmas” (about 5 minutes, once a day) are presented instead. Fireworks can be canceled depending on wind conditions.
Tower of Terror from the 6th, Indiana Jones from the 30th
Per the official closure info, Tower of Terror is closed from Monday, September 28 through Thursday, November 5, 2026. If the schedule holds, it is outside the closure period from Friday, November 6.
Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull is closed through Sunday, November 29 and reopens on Monday, November 30.
On the other hand, Big City Vehicles goes into a closure from Tuesday, November 10 through Friday, December 25. DisneySea Transit Steamer Line (Mediterranean Harbor) is closed through Monday, November 30.
Friday, November 27 is a shortened-hours day running 9:00 AM–6:30 PM, and “Believe! Sea of Dreams,” “Special Image Projection: Sparkling Jubilee Night,” and “Starbright Christmas” are suspended that day.
If the harbor at night is your reason for going, that’s the day to leave out.
Looking back at last month: in September 2026, DisneySea’s average wait on weekdays was almost the same as on weekends, and the clear jump came on the three-day holiday weekend.
“Weekdays are quiet” isn’t something you can take for granted at DisneySea right now. In November too, if you can only go on a day off, skipping the three-day weekend alone may keep your queue time down.

Tokyo DisneySea December 2026 crowd trend
On our forecast, December weekdays up to mid-month are relatively calm, and crowds build from Christmas Day through the end of the year.
On the official ticket calendar, a 1-Day Passport (adult) is ¥10,900 (approx. $73 USD) on weekdays from Tuesday, December 1 through Wednesday, December 23 — the cheapest price in December.

Watch the Magic Lamp Theater closure
In December, The Magic Lamp Theater is closed from Tuesday, December 8 through Tuesday, December 22. If this show is on your list, early December before the closure or December 23 onward are your candidates.
The Big City Vehicles closure continues through Friday, December 25. Mermaid Lagoon Theater has been closed since July 1, 2020, with no reopening date announced.
Christmas runs through December 25, and there is no New Year’s Eve event
“Disney Christmas” runs through Friday, December 25. The “Sky Full of Colors” suspension also ends on December 25, and the regular fireworks are scheduled to return from Saturday, December 26.
On the official event list, the “New Year’s Eve” event on Thursday, December 31, 2026 will not be held. On the official park operation calendar, December is scheduled at 9:00 AM–9:00 PM every day through the 31st.
If the Christmas atmosphere is what you want, go by December 25; if you want the park at the year-end, the days after Christmas are candidates too.
Dress for the cold if you’re staying for the evening
If you’re staying for the evening shows, plan for the winter cold. The wind comes through along the harbor, so with small children, pack one extra layer and some cold-weather items.

Friday, January 1 through Sunday, January 3 are ¥11,900 (approx. $79 USD), the other weekdays are ¥9,900 (approx. $66 USD), and weekends are ¥10,900 (approx. $73 USD).

For these three months (November to January), 1-Day Passport prices for every date are already shown on the official ticket calendar (as of October 15, 2026). Tickets go on sale daily at 2:00 PM Japan time for the same date two months ahead (for example, tickets for January 1 go on sale at 2:00 PM on November 1).
Because you can see a date’s price before it goes on sale, you can set your budget first and then buy on the release day.

How our September 2026 Tokyo DisneySea forecast compared with the real crowds
How accurate was our DisneySea forecast? As a guide before you pick a date, here is how September 2026 turned out.
| Item | Days |
|---|---|
| Days checked | 30 |
| Forecast matched the actual level exactly | 9 |
| Within one level (including exact matches) | 22 |
| Off by two levels or more | 8 (7 of them were quieter than forecast) |
The biggest misses were the following (levels are our crowd levels; wait times are the actual daily average).
| Date | Morning forecast | Actual | Average wait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday, September 22 (a Citizens’ Holiday) | Level 4 | Level 7 | 134.2 min (September’s highest) |
| Friday, September 25 | Level 4 | Level 1 | 43.4 min |
| Saturday, September 26 | Level 5 | Level 3 | 73.5 min |
Most of the misses were on the quieter side. The exception was September 22 in the Silver Week holiday, when the average wait topped two hours.
If you’re going on a holiday weekend, allow for days that run busier than the forecast level and decide the order of your must-do attractions in advance.
These actual results go into our daily data, which feeds the next forecasts. The September results for all five parks are in our September 2026 crowd report (Japanese).

One last practical note: the sun sets early in winter, and it gets noticeably colder once it’s dark. If you’re staying for the evening shows, pack one extra layer and you’ll be comfortable right to the end.
