Tokyo Disney Resort packing list for families
Tokyo Disney Resort feels familiar and completely new at the same time, from the parade etiquette to the seasonal snacks. A few Japan-specific items make long park days smoother for the whole family.

Kristina's notes on Tokyo Disney Resort
- Park tickets are date-specific and sold online, and weekends and holidays can sell out. Buy them as soon as your dates are set, and plan your park days for weekdays if you can.
- Japanese guests often bring a small picnic mat to sit on while they wait for parades and shows. I pack one for our family too, because it makes the wait so much more comfortable for little legs.
- Japan's outlets fit two-prong US plugs, but many have no slot for a third grounding prong. Pack a small two-prong adapter for any charger that has three.
