Tokyo DisneySea Swamped by Record Crowds as 25th Anniversary Celebrates its Worst
The trend of high crowds at Tokyo DisneySea has become a new normal since its 25th Anniversary celebration began. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced compared to Tokyo Disneyland, which has experienced significantly lower wait times.
According to data from the last year-plus, Tokyo DisneySea has had more than a dozen days with average wait times over 70 minutes, and several days exceeding 80 minutes. For context, an average wait time of 52 minutes is considered a 10/10 crowd level at Walt Disney World.
The situation is so dire that the author of the article, who has visited Tokyo DisneySea multiple times before, even experienced difficulty navigating the crowds on their last visit. The author notes that they underestimated the severity of the crowds and struggled to 'beat' them despite having a strategy in place.
