To purchase Disney Premiere Access for an attraction, first find it on the list of attractions, or park map in the Tokyo Disney Resort app. For this example we’ll purchase one for Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure in Tokyo DisneySea.
Attractions with Disney Premiere Access available will show the Disney Premiere Access/DPA icon and “available.” Attractions that are sold out or not being sold that day will show the Disney Premiere Access/DPA icon and “not available.”
2. Purchase Disney Premiere Access
After you’ve selected an attraction, a page showing a image of the ride or show will appear along with other information, such as the current wait time and operating hours. Press the Disney Premiere Access button and then go through the purchasing process. You’ll need to be logged into the Tokyo Disney Resort app with your Disney account. Your same Disney account from Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or any other Disney destination should work. You do not need to create a new one.
