First things first, let’s clarify a few important points. You can’t buy tickets for both Disneyland and DisneySea on the same day. Yep, that means you’ll have to pick one park to explore each day. So, which one will it be? Don’t fret; we’ll help you figure it out!
Why Can’t You Buy Tickets at the Gate?
Tokyo Disney Parks have a unique system that doesn’t allow ticket sales at the gate. This strategy keeps the crowd prediction calendars super accurate! Everyone knows what to expect, which means you should plan ahead to ensure you get your tickets. So, no last-minute decisions here!
Fantasy Springs Awaits You!
Heads up, Disney fans! A new section called Fantasy Springs, featuring Tangled, Frozen, and Peter Pan, is set to open on June 6th. Now, visiting during this time can be a double-edged sword:
- If you’re a die-hard Disney fan, brace yourself for long lines and a crowd eager to explore this new area! It could be an exhilarating experience to be among the first through the gates.
- On the flip side, the other areas of Tokyo DisneySea might be less crowded as everyone rushes to check out Fantasy Springs. It could be a win-win if you choose to avoid that section!
Pro Tip: Regardless of when you visit, tickets will be in high demand, especially with annual pass holders wanting to experience the new section. So be sure to book early!
Tokyo Disneyland vs. Tokyo DisneySea
Can’t decide which park to visit? No worries! Each park offers its own unique charm and experiences. If you’re traveling with kids, you might want to check out my guides on Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea to help you make that decision.

Discounted Tickets: The Myth
Now, let’s talk about the ever-elusive discounted tickets. Unfortunately, there’s no secret stash of cheap tickets for Tokyo Disneyland or DisneySea. The Oriental Land Company manages the parks, and they stick to strict pricing policies. Disney in Japan has a loyal following, and they don’t need to offer discounts to fill the parks.
So, if someone approaches you with a “too good to be true” deal, be cautious and do your research. You wouldn’t want to miss out on the magic due to a scam!
How to Buy Your Tickets
Once you’ve picked a date, you’re ready to snag those coveted tickets! Here are some options for purchasing tickets online:
- Using the Tokyo Disney Resort app
- Visiting the Tokyo Disney Resort Website (Just a heads up: you’ll need to create an account, but it’s pretty straightforward! Just be aware that international credit cards sometimes have hiccups during processing.)
- As part of a vacation package through a travel agency in your home country
- Bundled with a flight package from Japan Airlines
- Via platforms like Voyagin or Klook
Once you land in Japan, you have even more options to grab your tickets:
- Convenience stores (Family Mart, 7-Eleven, or Lawson are great spots to buy tickets, though you might need a Japanese friend to help if language barriers arise.)
- The Disney Flagship store in Shinjuku
- Book through a Disney Hotel
- JR Ticket Counters
- Major travel agencies like JTB
- Remember, you cannot buy tickets at the park gates anymore, so don’t risk missing out!
In summary, planning your Tokyo Disney adventure requires a little forethought and strategy, but the magic that awaits you is absolutely worth it! Happy planning, and may your Disney days be filled with joy!
