Buying Tokyo Disney Tickets in 2025 – What You Need to Know

Buying Tokyo Disney Tickets in 2025 – What You Need to Know

I’ve been seeing a lot of confusion recently for all the different ticket options at the Tokyo Disney parks. So, I wanted to make one quick simple video so that you know if you’re visiting Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo Disney Sea, all of the different ticket options that are available, which one I personally recommend as a Tokyo local who visits the parks very frequently and some mistakes to avoid if you’re a first timer. I see a lot of people making these mistakes. So, the first thing to wrap your head around is that the Tokyo Disney parks use variable ticket pricing. This means that on busier times of the year, the ticket prices are higher and on quieter times of year, the ticket prices are lower. These are often weekdays, you can get cheaper tickets, and Saturdays, the tickets are normally more expensive. This does have a strange effect with locals sometimes where for example a Saturday that’s supposed to be busier will have a higher ticket price but because the ticket price is higher locals will go on a Monday when the ticket price is cheaper. So sometimes weekdays actually end up being more busy than the weekends. Sundays especially can be a pretty good time to visit. But yeah, our first ticket type is the one day passport. This is what you think of when you think of a park ticket. You can go in the park when it opens and stay all day. It’s it’s standard stuff. Ticket prices are exactly the same for Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo Disney Sea. So once you’ve wrapped your head around one of them, you understand both of them, which kind of does simplify things a little bit. There are three different categories that this ticket is split into. So there are adult prices, which is the highest price for those 18 and over. Junior tickets, which are for people aged 12 to 17, and then for everyone under 12, they can get a child ticket. As of right now, August 2025, the adult tickets vary from 7,900 to 10,900 yen. The junior tickets vary from 6,600 to 9,000 yen. And the child tickets vary from 4,700 to 5,600 yen. I’ll put that info up on the screen right now with a few currencies, but I can’t I can’t do like every currency. So, just get a calculator open and make sure you’re switching it into your local currency. Next is the one-day passport for guests with disabilities. Guests with an applicable disability certificate and one accompanying guest can come with a slightly reduced price. I can’t go into all of the details here, but I’ll put the link in the description to the web page where you can see exactly which certificates are accepted and which are not. This is where things get a bit more confusing because there are two different passes that let you enter the park later on in the day, but they’re available on different days. Now, these are the early evening passport and the weekn night passport. The early evening passport lets you enter the parks from 300 p.m. And the weekn night passport lets you enter the parks from 5:00 p.m. The early evening passport, that’s the 300 p.m. entry, is typically available at weekends and national holidays. And then the weekn night passport is available on week nights. So that’s Monday through Friday. I say typically because right now they’re doing a campaign during the summer of 2025. So from July 2nd to September 15th, you can buy both the 3pm ticket or the 5:00 p.m. ticket every day between those dates. We’ve got no idea at all if this is going to be something that happens again next year or if after September 15th it’s done. So if you’re visiting after September 15th, 2025, you probably don’t have to worry about this. Now, there’s a very good chance that in your local currency when you’re looking at these prices, they seem very, very cheap. So, what I’m about to say might seem a little strange, but for me, these evening tickets, the early evening passport and the weekn night passport, they just don’t offer enough for the price. Cuz let me go through the prices here. An adult is 6,500 to 8,700. The junior, again, that’s 12 years to 17 years old, is 5,300 to 7,200 yen. And the children, 12 and under, is 3,800 to 4,400. That’s a tiny discount from the full park ticket. So, in my opinion, even if you want to visit from, let’s say, 12 or 1 even, it’s probably worth getting the full day ticket. And I’d say exactly the same thing with regards to the week night passport. That’s the 5:00 p.m. ticket. So those are priced as follows. 4,500 to 6,200 for an adult, 4,500 to 6,200 for a junior, and 4,500 to 6,200 for a child. Jordan, didn’t you just repeat exactly the same numbers? Yes, I did. For some reason, in this ticket category, every age group is exactly the same price. I’m not sure why, but yeah. So that means that you’re getting even less value if you’re coming with kids or younger guests because their prices just they’re paying an adult price as well. And the parks close at 9:00 p.m. every single day. So you’re getting 4 hours in the park. Not to mention on busier days, Tokyo Disney close the cues to their rides before the park closes. So, for example, if Frozen Journey, the new Frozen ride, has a 90minute queue, if it gets to 7:30, they’re going to close that queue, right? Because it’s an hour and a half before the park closes. The queue is an hour and a half, so they close the queue. So, that means if you’re getting in the park at 5:00 p.m., there’s going to be rides you can’t even get into after a certain time. This is much more of a problem at Disney Sea where they have more bigger rides and they get much longer weights. At Tokyo Disneyland, you can have a pretty great evening to be honest. I’ve got a vlog on this channel where I did that about a year ago. So, you can check that out if you’re interested. But at Disneyland has a lot of smaller rides that you can quickly get on and you can even get on some of the bigger ones later in the evening as well. So, if you have like an evening and you’re thinking which park should I go to? Oh, I heard Disney’s beautiful. Maybe I should go there. I wouldn’t. I would save Disney Sea for a full day. You’re going to need it. Disneyland, you can have a very pleasant evening. Watch the nighttime parade, whiz around some classic nostalgic rides, and then towards the end of the day, because their queues aren’t so long, they’re less likely to close early. You can normally get on a Pooh’s Honey or a Monsters Inc. or even on a less busy day, get in a Beauty and the Beast queue for like 20 minutes sometimes. So, if you’re dead set on getting an evening pass, I recommend Disneyland, not Disney Se. This next one’s one that really came out of the blue and surprised me. So, we got a park hopper ticket. We haven’t had park hopping tickets at Tokyo Disney since before the pandemic. And even then, you could only park hop on a 4-day or a 3-day multi-day ticket. Those are all discontinued. There are no multi-day tickets anymore. But yeah, recently they brought back the park hopper. Now, again, this is why I made this video to avoid some confusion because there are some people saying, “Oh, park hopper tickets are back.” They’re not. This is another thing they’re just doing for the summer from, again, July 2nd to September 15th. So, if you’re coming after September 15th, 2025, and you’re thinking of buying a park hopping ticket, they’re not going to be available. As far as we know, maybe they’ll bring them back, maybe they won’t. As for the ticket prices for the park hopping tickets, for an adult it’s going to be 15,300 to 18,900. For a junior, again 12 to 17 years old, 12,600 yen to 15,500. And for a child who’s under 12, 9,100 to 9,600 yen. And you may have spotted the issue with the park hopping ticket. For me, there are two big issues. One is the price. It’s almost double the price of a normal day ticket. It’s actually cheaper to buy a full day ticket and an evening ticket than it is to buy the park hopping pass. So, if you wanted to spend most of your day in one park and then just hop over to the other one in the evening to take a look at it, it’s going to be cheaper to just buy an evening pass for the other park than it would be to get this park ticket. And I guess the good news with that is after September 15th, you’re going to be able to do that anyway. My other issue with the park hopping ticket is that both of these parks are very much full day parks. They both have a ton to offer, especially Disney Se now that Fantasy Springs has opened with four brand new rides. I just, and I say this as someone who’s been to both of these parks hundreds of times, when I’m spending a day at one of them, I’m not particularly wanting to dash off to the other. I’m not getting halfway through my day and thinking, “Oh, I’ve kind of run out of stuff to do. I wish I could go to the other park.” That never happens. So, I just think in terms of an experience, forgetting about the price entirely, if you’ve got two days, spend a day at each park and kind of do it properly. I can’t imagine leaving one of the parks, taking the Montreal, which you have to pay to use, around to the other park, and then going in there, and then maybe even doing that again if you want to hop back. The other thing with park hopping as well is that when you get into a park in the morning, there’s a lot of stuff that you set up for later in the day. You can get priority passes, which is a free Q skipping pass. You can get DPA, which is a paid Q skipping pass. And you can also get DPAs for the shows. And you can enter lotteryies for the shows. So, as soon as you enter a park, you normally end up with a bit of an itinerary throughout the day. So, if I go into Disney Sea and I get a pass to ride Frozen at like 300 p.m. Do I really want to be hopping across to Disneyland and then coming back for that? Like, it just seems like it would get very confusing. So, I don’t know if the park hoppers will come back after September or not, but I’m not a big fan of them and I wouldn’t really recommend them. Now, one thing to be careful of when you buy your park tickets is make sure you buy them for the right park. I have made this mistake recently. Yeah, after living here for 6 years and having a YouTube channel about these parks, I accidentally bought tickets to Tokyo Disneyland instead of Tokyo Disney C. But thankfully, I bought them through trip.com and they could quickly give me a refund. What’s shocking is if you buy them through the official website, you can’t change the park and you can’t get a refund. Another reason I recommend using trip.com instead of the official website is because the official website can be a nightmare with using your card, especially foreign cards. It normally rejects them. And trip.com makes it super easy. You can even use things like PayPal, which is why I always use it. I genuinely use it to buy my tickets every time I go. So, I really recommend using trip.com. I have an affiliate link in the description or you can scan the QR code on screen right now. If you’re buying your park tickets, they’re going to be the same price anyway. It’s a great website to buy them from and you’re going to help me out a little bit. So, I appreciate that. Thank you very much. Now, I’m going to talk briefly about the vacation packages in a second, but first we have to get to the very sad part of this video, which is where we talk about all of the discontinued tickets since 2020. So, the tickets that are no longer available, 10:30 entry and 12:00 a.m. entry. This was a co thing. No one’s begging for these to come back. The senior passport, which is a bit weird. The gift passport, which was like a gift service. You could buy a gift card for someone else essentially. The 2-day, 3-day, and 4day passes, which are a real shame, especially if you’re coming from abroad. It’s nice to just have a multi-day ticket, you know, and know that you’re all sorted. Like, buying them separately is not super expensive anyway, but it’s just a shame. And the one that really breaks my heart as a Tokyo local, as someone who moved here just to have an annual pass, the two park annual pass, Tokyo Disneyland annual pass, and Tokyo Disney C annual passes have been gone since 2020, which means I have to pay full price to visit the parks every time I go.

Now, the last thing we’ve got left to talk about is the vacation package. And I don’t want to really go into them too much because that’s kind of a whole video in and of itself. But I’ll just quickly say the vacation packages are very, very expensive. If you’re flushed with cash, you can get an unlimited vacation package, which means you can ride all the rides as many times as you want. So, if those are available where you are, that sounds pretty great, right? However, for most people, the vacation packages are prohibitively expensive. Even if you’re already planning to stay at a Tokyo Disney hotel, I really don’t think they’re super necessary. With a halfdecent plan, you can get on all the big rides. And the paid queue skipping services at the parks are pretty reasonably priced, especially compared to a vacation package. For example, if you go to Tokyo Disneyland, you can skip the cues on Pooh Honey Hunt, Monsters, Inc., and Big Thunder Mountain for free. And then you can pay extra to skip the queue on Splash Mountain, Baymax, and Beauty and the Beast. Everything else is going to be a pretty short wait. And if you just pay for those extra Q skips, you’re going to you don’t need a vacation package. Same again for Disney C, you do end up paying a bit more, but it’s still way cheaper than a vacation package. Cuz at Disney C, you can pay to skip Frozen Journey, Peter Pan, Rapunzel, soaring, Toy Story, Tower of Terror, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. And then most of those are available most of the day. You grab Frozen first, grab soaring next, and then everything else is basically just a playground. If you’re willing to spend some cash, imagine it as a much cheaper alternative to the vacation package and just pay to skip all these cues. If shows are more your thing, you can pay to get into the shows to guarantee entry to the shows. You don’t need a vacation package to do all that. So, now I’m getting into the territory of talking about the Q skipping passes. I’ve done a whole video about those that you can check out here.
