What we loved most about my experience was how genuinely friendly everyone was. The staff and characters waved so often, smiled, and made us feel so welcome, especially when they found out it was our first time visiting. One of the absolute highlights was meeting Shrek. He was just as excited as we were! He gave Sam a huge hug, and they both laughed so much that Shrek ended up holding his heart like he couldn’t believe how funny and joyful the moment was. It was so special, especially coming from Australia and not speaking Japanese, to be able to interact in such a physical, no verbal way. It made the experience feel truly magical and unforgettable. Thank you so much! We will remember this forever.

So much to do and the theater stuff was great. Recommend watching Sing (mostly for the kids) and Rock Roll Monster (forgot the name, but it had Japanese Beetlejuice & English singers). Got the Pass 4 express pass and make sure it either includes the park entry or you'll need to pay that separately. Harry Potter ride was the most fun VR ride experience I've ever done. So sick. Musts for me: -Harry Potter express pass -Jurassic World rides (we didn't get express but got in as soon as we walked in) -Mario cart express pass -Jaws (fluctuates in waiting, but wasn't bad at all) -Backdrop ride

Very good and very serious! Practical too. On the park website itself, it was no longer possible to get fast passes and Land Mario tickets. Thanks to you, we were able to get them, what's more, there were 4 of us, and all at the last minute. ( 48 hours before ) . I highly recommend it! Christine ( France ) 17 Ictibre 25 .

    We went during Halloween horror nights. While it's not at it's all time busiest it still attracts quite the crowd. With the express pass we were able to ride all the popular rides without much hassle and tedious waiting. This pass in combination with taking solo rider lines made for a very productive park day.
