This is true even if you're staying at one of the 6 official hotels on-site. So, all other guests must make same-day reservations at the show venues. My understanding is that these are gobbled up almost immediately upon park opening, as enough guests that enter at park opening make their "morning dash" to these locations to secure reservations for later that same day. So my question is: is admission media required for all guests that you want to make a reservation for, or for any guest? I would think that no admission media would be required to make a reservation in person, but I'd like to confirm this with someone that knows for sure. The reason for this question is that for a group of two or more people, the obvious thing to do during the morning dash would be to send one person to the show venue to make reservations, and another person to a popular attraction to get FastPasses for the entire group, which means that that person would need everyone's admission media.

Simply went, made the reservation for three people, and then met my other two friends in WB. You do have to pay up front for the meal when you make the reservation. I think it was like 8200 yen for the three of us.

I fourth in line at my gate when the park opened, went straight there, and was one of the last to get a lunch reservation. Boy do the Tokyo Disneyland guests move fast. It was a nice show and the food was good. Worth the dash.

Worth noting that the evening shows are not as popular as the lunchtime shows - that first one (which is before 11am typically) is the most popular and they decrease in popularity as the day goes on. The Terrace holds 230 people and they show the lunchtime version three times daily and the evening show four times nightly. Also the Diamond Horseshoe is the more popular of the two venues. My point is that on a quieter day at TDL all of the evening tickets are not usually snapped up before the first show is run. For a reason that I can't explain the lunchtime show is longer (the exact opposite of how the Diamond Horseshoe is operated). Polynesian Paradise is a nudge over an hour and 3,700 yen each.

Golden Horseshoe felt a little rushed, but it was a fun show. Gotta go with the hot bellydancers though, if you ask me. ;)
