During the event, "Starbright Christmas" fireworks set to Christmas music light up the sky for about 5 minutes every night, and Tokyo Disneyland shows them too. The time changes daily, and the show may be cancelled in strong wind.
Christmas street performers in American Waterfront
American Waterfront has the a cappella "Christmas Carolers", the clarinet-and-accordion "Holly Jolly Trio" and the "Holiday Wonder Band" roaming the streets. You don't need to hold a spot, so you can listen while you walk around.

Prices may change by date. Check the official Disney Premier Access page and the app before buying.
Can you visit Fantasy Springs at Christmas?
Yes. Fantasy Springs dropped its entry restrictions on April 1, 2025, so you can walk in with a same-day Tokyo DisneySea ticket, and its attractions use regular standby lines again. If you want a shorter wait for popular rides such as Frozen Journey, buy Disney Premier Access. The park may bring back entry limits on very crowded days, so check the app on the day. For how to enter and what to ride, see our Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs guide.
How to get to Tokyo DisneySea
Take the JR Keiyo Line or Musashino Line from Tokyo Station to Maihama Station (about 15 minutes), then change to the Disney Resort Line monorail to "Tokyo DisneySea Station", which is right at the park entrance.
- At Tokyo Station, head to the Keiyo Line platforms (they are deep underground; allow 10+ minutes on foot from other platforms).
- Take the Keiyo or Musashino Line to "Maihama". IC cards such as Suica work.
- Walk to "Resort Gateway Station" opposite Maihama Station and take the Disney Resort Line to "Tokyo DisneySea Station".
- From Narita or Haneda Airport, you can also take the Airport Limousine Bus straight to Tokyo Disney Resort; see the official access page for times and fares.

What to do with your luggage on a Tokyo DisneySea trip
The Christmas season is one of the busiest times at Tokyo DisneySea. Big suitcases are awkward in queues and at the harbor show, and lockers at Maihama Station and the park entrance often fill up in peak season. If you're heading to the park straight from the airport, or changing hotels or catching a flight afterwards, dragging luggage onto the Keiyo Line and the monorail is hard work.
LuggAgent can pick up your bags from a hotel, airport or station and deliver them to your next stop the same day or the next day, for example from Narita or Haneda to a hotel near Tokyo Disney Resort, or from a park-area hotel back to the airport. You can walk into the park hands-free and spend your time on the harbor show and fireworks instead. See Tokyo Disney Resort luggage delivery and Tokyo luggage delivery for coverage and details. At the airport, we recommend choosing a pickup time about 1 hour after your flight lands, so you have time for immigration and baggage claim; then go to the meeting point shown in your booking confirmation, where an agent waits with a LuggAgent sign. For airport deliveries, we recommend choosing a delivery time at least 2 hours before your flight departs. From a hotel, choose a pickup time between 09:00 and 11:00 when booking, leave your bags at the front desk before then and send a photo to customer service. We operate as normal over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Most services need to be booked at least 24–72 hours in advance; the exact cutoff is shown on the booking page, and booking early is a good idea in peak season.
If you're staying at a Disney hotel, hand your bags to us at Narita or Haneda and we'll take them to your hotel in the resort area; if you're staying in central Tokyo, we can deliver from the airport to your hotel in the 23 wards:
