Tokyo Disney Resort to Require Standby Passes for Select Shops Starting Sept. 17

The move targets reseller activity, reflecting lessons from last year’s delivery delays.

Overview

  • Standby entry will be enforced at Disney & Company, Gag Factory/Five and Dime, Emporio, and Sleepy Whale Shop once the Halloween season begins.
  • Bon Voyage will operate by advance reservation from September 16 to 18, with bookings opening on September 11.
  • Tokyo Disney Resort frames the controls as a way to curb bulk buying and manage queues that have accompanied limited-edition releases.
  • The resort has used similar access systems during high-demand Duffy and Friends launches to keep crowds orderly.
  • Halloween programming includes the return of Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare, the Villains’ Halloween parade and Night High Halloween fireworks, plus adult costuming on September 16–30 and October 16–31.
