Hello everyone! I'm Ssoejini, your go-to expert for travel in Japan & China :)

I recently visited Tokyo Disneyland!

"I've booked my tickets, so I guess I'm all set to go?"

Is that what you thought?

To purchase paid passes (DPA) on-site and

minimize your wait times, setting up the official app isn't an option –

it's an absolute must.

Especially if you're with companions,

you shouldn't register individually.

You need to link up as a 'group' so you can handle

all reservations and payments at once with just one admission ticket.

✔️ How to Register Tickets on the Disney App

✔️ How to Create a Group

✔️ How to Pay for DPA with a Card

I'll give you a complete rundown of how to use the app,

hitting just the key points!

1. How to Register Tickets on the Tokyo Disney Resort App

First, you'll need to purchase your tickets, right?

After comparing, Klook seems to have the best prices right now!

Prices vary depending on the date, but

You can buy them for around ~$52 to ~$59!

Platform	Peak Season Price
MyRealTrip	Around ~$70
Klook	Around ~$70 → ~$54 ~

What's surprising is that I bought mine for about ~$70;;

I hope you all get a discount.. lol

Now, ahead of time, install the

'Tokyo Disney Resort App' via the App Store or Google Play

in your home country and complete your membership registration.

Once you purchase your tickets, a QR code voucher will be issued.

Now, let's add the tickets to the app!

[Super Easy Ticket Registration Checklist]

1️⃣ On the app's main screen, tap [Scan Ticket].

2️⃣ Scan the QR code of your purchased ticket with your camera.

3️⃣ If you only have the voucher file (PDF) on your phone,

you can import a screenshot to recognize it – and you're done!

Once done, your ticket will appear right in the My Plan menu.

Many people have asked in Disneyland reviews

about tickets not being recognized easily.

The best way is to display the QR code on a laptop or any screen

and then scan it with the app!

If you're traveling solo, this is where you'd stop.

But if you're going with family or friends, what comes next is truly important.

2. Creating a Group and Sharing Tickets with Companions

Why do you need to use the group function?

Because when you're paying for DPA or reserving the 40th Anniversary Priority Pass,

all your companions' tickets need to be linked in one group

so you can reserve the same time slot simultaneously.

​

​

Step	What the Group Leader Does	What Companions Do
Step 1	On the app, tap [Create Group]	Each companion logs into their Disney app
Step 2	Share the generated KakaoTalk/URL link	Click the link sent by the group leader
Step 3	Confirm companion acceptance and consolidate tickets	Tap 'Complete Group Participation'

It doesn't matter if everyone registered their tickets separately on their own apps.

Booking the same ride at the same time is absolutely the best!

If you try to do it separately and can't snag a spot together, it's a disaster 🥲

Even if you link your group, you can still book and pay for DPA and the 40th Anniversary Pass

simultaneously with your companions! Make sure to do it at the exact same moment!

Also, when paying for DPA, you can use one card to swipe for everyone in your party at once,

which gives you a huge advantage in saving precious time.

3. DPA & 40th Anniversary Pass: Mastering the Queues On-Site

Even before you enter with an "open run" strategy (being there at opening),

you absolutely need to **turn on the app and be super alert**

to do these two things below:

​

​

DPA (Paid Pass)

This is your **cheat code for buying time with money**.

You choose popular attractions and your desired time slot,

then simply pay by card.

40th Anniversary Pass (Priority Access Ticket)

This is a **free fast pass** available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Since quantities are limited, if you don't apply immediately after entering,

it will be completely sold out by morning.

When your reserved time arrives, a QR code activates in the app.

Just show this at the dedicated entrance (Priority Access) scanner,

scan it, and you're in!

While the regular wait time was 180 minutes,

I boarded in just 12 minutes.

​

If you're a family traveler with legs that feel like they're about to give out,

I definitely recommend spending money on 1-2 of these passes.

A comfortable body makes for a happy trip! ^^

4. Card Payments at Tokyo Disneyland & DisneySea

Many people worry and ask,

"If we link our group, do we have to stick together the entire time?"

But **absolutely not!**

Even if you're linked, each person can see their own QR code on their phone,

so there's no problem if you split up to go to a souvenir shop or the restroom.

The most important thing is your **'international payment card.'**

Many times, people try to pay quickly in the on-site queue

only to be rejected due to Visa or Mastercard authentication errors.

My Travel Wallet worked without a hitch,

but my companion's Toss card and a regular VISA card were rejected.

This can vary depending on the situation,

but if you're worried, definitely use a Travel Wallet!

Both DPA and the 40th Anniversary Pass

are a race against time for us!
