The Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary runs from April 15, 2026, to March 31, 2027. With kids, plan your day around the anniversary harbor show and the night projection: per the official August 2026 schedule, the harbor show was at 5 p.m. and the projection at 8:55 p.m. With elementary-school kids, think first about how many rides you want and whether they’ll have energy left for the evening.

Who It Suits
It suits elementary kids who love character photos and shows, and families ready to give a full day to the park. For younger kids who struggle with summer queues, compare afternoon passports, but remember popular rides still have waits.
What to See for the Anniversary
Sparkling Jubilee Celebration is a roughly 15-minute outdoor show on Mediterranean Harbor. After dark, a five-minute projection lights up the façade of Hotel MiraCosta. These anniversary shows are the heart of the Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary experience.
A One-Day Plan with Kids
Arrive at the gate around 8 a.m. and check that your family’s tickets are grouped in the app. Right after entry, pick one ride and use the free Priority Pass or the paid Disney Premier Access. Do two rides in the morning and lock in lunch around noon with mobile order: choose a restaurant and time in the app, then tap “I’m Here” on arrival. At 2 p.m. fit in an indoor show or a rest area, move toward Mediterranean Harbor at 4:20, watch the 5 p.m. harbor show, eat dinner, ride one more attraction and finish with the 8:55 projection.
Getting There and Tickets
From Tokyo Station, take the JR Keiyo or Musashino Line to Maihama (about 15 minutes), then the paid Disney Resort Line to Tokyo DisneySea Station. In August 2026, 1-Day Passports started at 8,900 yen for adults and 5,300 yen for children, so two adults and a 10-year-old started at 23,100 yen. Prices vary by date, so recalculate for your day. Summer-only 3 p.m. passports started at 7,100/4,200 yen, and 5 p.m. passports at 5,100 yen for all ages.
Food
Secure a mobile-order restaurant in the morning and avoid a long meal right before the 5 p.m. show. Check anniversary menu availability in the app on the day.
Pros and Cons
The Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary offers limited-time shows, lighting and menus to remember. The downsides: date-based pricing, heavy reliance on the app and possible show cancellations due to weather.
