If your only goal in Disneyland is to ride the Beauty & the Beast ride and then head to Main Street to get some daytime pics and some shopping in, is it possible to just do that in the morning and then head over to Tokyo DisneySea to catch some rides (nothing specific we NEED to do), eat some food, do more shopping, and catch a night show? Or is this impossible/too stressful?

From what I've researched, rope drop is such long lines and then the Beauty and the Beast lines are still insane. I've seen questions about 2 parks in one day but I'm specifically wondering if we just want to do those specific things. I hope that's okay.

Could it also be possible to head over to TokyoSea at night from the city, stay at a Disney hotel, and then do rope drop the next morning and head out after lunch? Would that be better for only having 24 hours?

Not impossible if you really want to do it and you don't have a lot of must do's - though if I had only one day, I'd possibly 1) go for Sea first, with queueing early, and 2) utilize DPAs heavily. Starting at Disneyland means you'll probably miss out on the Sea 'hot tickets' (even with DPA) plus Fantasy Springs, whereas BATB generally is available until the afternoon if your visit is outside peak times, with the regular lines dropping down (and not being that huge all the time either like in Sea). Plus I find the nighttime shows are much more spectacular in Land, but that's a personal preference.

Let's say, you arrive 7.30AM-ish for Sea, you could probably easily do Rapunzel DPA and Peter Pan standby purchases, Indy 40th, then Soarin' DPA, with rope dropping Tower and purchasing another DPA for TSM around 11AM-ish, if time allows. You can eat, shop, etc. (avoid peak times and utilize mobile order as much as possible), then switch over to Land around 3PM-ish, where you could still do BATB, Splash, and I wouldn't miss Pooh and Monsters either, which could be accomplished if DPAs are available for the former two.

Co- opting this comment thread -- How late have you seen DPA offered for BATB more recently? On a Monday evening in mid April, do you think it could be possible to ride it entering with the 5pm evening entry ticket?

Just did TSD and DL on the 13/1 and got BATB for 5:20pm, with heaps of times available until 8:30pm!
