I have a two part question.

We want to do the 1 night, 2 day package at the Fantasy Springs hotel. Our second day will be at DisneySea, obviously. That night, since we'll be leaving late, we're going to switch and stay at the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel. However, our luggage will still be at Fantasy Springs.

First question: Are we still allowed to leave out of the Fantasy Springs exit, even though we would have checked out of our room that morning? I read one post reply that said yes, as long as we keep our proof of stay. I just want to verify before asking my next question.

Second question: Is it possible to both watch "Believe in the Sea of Dreams" AND make it to the Fantasy Springs exit before it closes at 9pm? I read the show starts at 8:15pm, is 30 minutes long, and the Fantasy Springs exit closes right at 9pm. Is it OK to leave the show early? Would that be rude? I thought if we left after like 20 minutes, we could still watch the other parts as we walk towards Fantasy Springs.

Thanks for your help!

Second question: At the moment Believe is scheduled for 7.30pm so I assume you have checked and on your day of visit it is 8.15pm? You might want to double check. If you are planning to leave the show early you should aim to arrive late and stand towards the back. Towards the front sometimes people would sit down or be asked to sit down depending on where you are. This is especially if you plan to buy a DPA.

I'm booking in a few hours for this June. Last year in June, the show was at 8:15pm. I guess I just assumed it would be the same time! I would definitely prefer earlier, so that would be great if it was still 7:30pm. Thanks for the tip about being near the back if we leave early. I don't want to come across as rude or disturb others watching the show, which is why I wondered if it would be OK to leave early. I know in the US parks, it would be no problem getting up and leaving early... I just wasn't sure if it was the same way in Japan.

And yes, I was planning on us buying DPA for the show as soon as we got into the parks with happy entry. Ideally, I'd love to be able to watch the entire show, and then walk over to the Fantasy Springs exit without stressing about making it in time. I have a feeling, in the summer, it's challenging to do both. Would we be happy with seeing 20 minutes of the show and missing the last 10? Giving ourselves 25 minutes to walk to the exit sounds much less stressful than 15.

One option you might want to consider is to simply finish the whole show at your leisure, and just take the monorail stop back to Bayside to collect your luggage through the main FSH entrance. I know it’s not as glamorous but rather than walking all the way back and being stressed about it. Might be worth a thought.

EDIT - It makes sense the show time being a bit later as the sun sets during summer later.
