How to visit all Disney Asia parks in 14 nights I hear your ask, we’ll you may be surprised to know that a lot of Disney fans are unaware that Disney actually has 3 award winning theme park resorts in the Asia continent – being Tokyo Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland, and the newest of all their destinations, Shanghai Disney Resort.

Although Disney has over 12 theme parks in the world, excluding it’s waterparks, UK & European guests tend to only book their magical holidays to either Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort or Disneyland Paris, as these are the ones most marketed to them.

No doubt, like most Disney diehards, you have added  “visit all the Disney parks around the world” to your wish-full thinking bucket lists but may not know the best way to go about visiting these very unique attraction destinations on the other side of the world.

Luckly, we have done all the hard work for you. Having experienced all these parks first hand, and helped countless VactionEars reach the magic in Asia already, we are here to help you also discover that magical difference.

Despite the Asia parks offering a completely unique Disney experience for international travelers, these destinations are generally overlooked on the assumption that traveling some 6000 miles for a new magical adventure would just cost too much. Well it is quite possible to travel to 3 different counties on the far side of the globe and take in 4 incredibly Disney parks, over a standard 14-night period, for the same price or even less than it would cost you for a fortnight in Orlando.

The Asia Disney destinations offer you a chance to reignite your imagination in their immersive lands, enjoy their creative interpretations of classic fan favourites, and ride some of the worlds most state-of-the-art attractions that you just can’t find at the other Disney parks.

They also offer the newest and most advanced land expansions of any Disney resort, including the first and largest ‘World of Frozen’ at Hong Kong Disneyland, the only ‘Zootopia Land’ at Shanghai Disney Resort, and the enchanting ‘Fantasy Springs’ which in itself featuring the lands of Tangled, Frozen and Peter Pan.

So with a little bit of planning and guidance from us, visiting all three Asia Disney parks in 14 nights is no longer a ‘Once in a lifetime’ dream. It’s a reality that everyone can experience over and over again.

This is where your friendly expert Disney travel company comes in handy, so let us help you plan for a magical adventure of your own!  

First things first, this is just an idea of an itinerary to visit all the Disney Asia parks. Every aspect can be changed, amended, added to and explored in a million different ways to fit with your desired dream holiday and budget.

This holiday package includes flights from the UK (London Heathrow), however we can always package with flights from anywhere in the world in your own currency. All you have to do is request a quote.

The price quoted is based on live pricing, so it is subject to change at any time. It’s simply designed to give you an idea of what the cost could be. Your package may cost more or less depending on what you want to include.

We would also mention that booking an adventure like this to visit all Disney Asia parks can only done 11-months out from your preferred departure date, since most of the flights, hotels, & tickets etc that you will require will not be on sale before then.

We never quote for holiday elements that are not physically bookable or offer quotes based on a best guesses. No company should be booking you a holiday they can not guarantee would take place.

It’s also worth noting that the Disney hotels in Asia are currently only available to book 4-6 months out from an arrival date, and generally for a maximum of 5 nights only, but there are a lot of excellent off site hotels which are of really good value in comparison and are only steps away from the parks. These off site alternatives are what we have based the itinerary below on and can offer a way to visit the magic in Asia while keeping the overall costs down.

There are other extra items we haven’t included costs for as these are subject to the individual such as possible visa costs, depending on the country you hold a passport for. Food & Drinks costs are also not included, and other general expenses such as buying merchandise and add on sightseeing options are also not included.

Departure Day
London Heathrow – Chek Lap Kok Int. Airport Hong Kong
British Airways – World Traveller – Flight Time 13 hr(s) and 15 min(s)

While economy can be the cheaper travel option, you may want to upgrade to premium economy for your outbound and return journeys. These are very long flights and that little extra leg room and more comfortable seating is a blessing (trust me, it’s worth the extra expense). Plus with premium economy you generally get access to an airport lounge for a little pre-flight champagne (or soft drink if you prefer)

With this flight you will be taking off one day and landing the following day due to crossing international date lines.

Making dining reservations for each resort: 

It is worth getting to know the various dining locations when you visit all the Disney Asia parks, from the table service options to quick service, via the various official resort app. Then make a plan of where you would like to eat each day. Some places may need advanced reservations and others will be quick service locations where you queue up and wait. .

– Tokyo Disney Resort – Opens 30 days prior to your desired dining date via the Official App
– Hong Kong Disneyland Call guest services on +852 3550-3388.
– Shanghai Disney Resort – Book via Live Chat on the official website. There are only 4 restaurants which require prior reservations.

Official Park Apps

Available to download from both the Apple App Store & Google Play Stores.
Hong Kong Disneyland:
We recommend linking your tickets to the app ahead of arrival, however you can always present a printed out version as well, just make sure the QR is readable. Your photo will be taken at the gates and linked to your ticket. Refusal to have your photo taken will result in refusal of entry to the park.

On the app you can secure free standby passes and paid premier access passes. We would recommend seeing what the queues are like before purchasing any premier access, however as this itinerary is only including 2 days in this park, a premier access purchase may just be worth it regardless.

Shanghai Disney Resort:
You should link your tickets to the app ahead of arrival to make things easier at the parks. When these tickets are purchased, your ID (passport) and name is linked to them. At the gates, your photo will be taken and linked to the ID and name. Refusal to have your photo taken will result in denial of access to the parks. You will need to bring your original ID with you as well as cast members at the gate will need to see this. Again, not having your ID will result in entry refusal.

Like with Hong Kong Disneyland, you can secure free standby passes and paid premier access passes via the app. Again seeing what the queues are like before purchasing any premier access, but having them may just make your days flow smoother.

Tokyo Disney Resort:
Link your park tickets ahead of arrival to save time on site. Most of the app features will not work until you are in resort and scanned through the gates. Scan tickets at the gates via your mobile device to gain entry then we highly recommend staying on the app once through and, before doing anything else, reserve your free standby passes & priority passes, request show access (lottery) and purchase any paid premier access attractions that maybe available. While you may begrudge paying to access rides, you will thank us for this advice when you see just how long some of the most popular attraction queues can be. Worth every penny!

The app will give you times to which you can return and secure further passes so make sure to take note and be ready to reserve your next batches. These options go fast and once gone, they are gone. The show request lotter system you can only do once a day and is incredibly difficult to secure, however our understanding is the app will allow you at least one during your stay to access one of these shows via the lottery, assuming you have linked all your tickets ahead of time.
