Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea: no pass needed, ride order
No pass is needed: anyone who enters Tokyo DisneySea can walk into Fantasy Springs and line up for all four rides. Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey has by far the longest wait, so buy its Premier Access right after you enter, or line up in the evening.

When are the waits shortest?
When are the waits shortest?The quiet times are right after opening and after 19:00. Peter Pan averaged 9 minutes at 9:00, 34 at 9:30 and 59 at 10:00. Rapunzel was almost the same, so arriving 30 minutes later triples the wait. Frozen Journey is long from the start and only gets shorter at night.
