How crowded will Disney Sea be next week, midweek, when it is the second week of school vacations in Japan (April 4)? Should I expect four-hour waits, one-hour waits, crowds so that I can't breathe, or just normal crowds where you can at least move, but maybe not as fast as you like? Thanks.

2 hour waits are the norm, so during school vacation maybe longer. You'll be able to move, but will have trouble getting a good position for parades and shows...people camp out in their spots with picnic sheets as soon as it is allowed. Fast passes are limited to one at a time and run out before the end of the day. Get there early, for opening, and head straight through the park as far from the gate as you can get and start from there to avoid the longest waits at the start...on the way to the back, grab a fast pass for Big Thunder Mountain or Splash Mountain or Buzz Lightyear...remember, you only get one at a time (unless a long time, like 2 hours, has passed since you were last given one, or you've used the one you already got).

Of course, now I realize you meant Sea....in any case, still head right to the back, to the Indiana Jones area. There are 2 good attractions there. On the way, get FastPass for Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Thanks for the information, KimJapan. Are 2 hour waits also the norm for Disney Sea, even when schools are not out?

We were at Disney Sea last April on a Thurs. and Fri. when schools were not out and we had absolutely no waits at all; we walked right up to the rides and got on and walked right into all the attractions.

When school is out, 2 hour waits are normal. When all schools are in session and it' a weekday, not a holiday or weekend, waits are short or nonexistent. Disney Sea tends to have less wait time than Disney Land, at least when we have been there.

The earlier the better, the mid day is the rush hour. You will spend a whole day there anyway, don't forget to check out the restaurant in the 'Titanic'!

Thanks, everyone!
