Tokyo Disneyland is a major landmark in Japan’s tourism, attracting visitors of all ages throughout the year. For those planning to visit on their own without a tour, planning a trip to Tokyo Disneyland can be a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding the different ticket options and where to buy them. Today, I’ve got some great tips to share, ensuring that by the end of this guide, you’ll know exactly where and how to get your tickets!
How different between Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo Disneysea?
What makes Tokyo Disneyland Resort special is that it has two theme parks: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. For those who have never been before, many often feel “confused” about the differences between the two parks and wonder which one is the better choice to visit.
The differences between Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
Tokyo Disneyland is decorated with a fantasy theme that evokes a sense of childhood nostalgia. In contrast, Tokyo DisneySea has a more mature atmosphere, with decor that reflects a seaside, adult-oriented vibe.
The rides at Tokyo Disneyland focus on family-friendly attractions that even young children can enjoy. Meanwhile, Tokyo DisneySea features more thrilling rides that are designed for those seeking more adventurous experiences.
Tokyo Disneyland’s rides are inspired by Disney animations and movies, while Tokyo DisneySea offers sea adventure-themed rides that align with the park’s nautical theme.
Tokyo Disneyland offers more parades and character shows compared to Tokyo DisneySea.
Tokyo DisneySea sells alcoholic beverages, while Tokyo Disneyland does not.
The “Duffy and Friends” franchise merchandise is only available at Tokyo DisneySea.
Tokyo DisneySea also has a newly opened area called “Fantasy Springs.”
How many types of tickets are there for Tokyo Disneyland?
Tickets for Tokyo Disneyland Resort are divided into two parks: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Guests can choose to purchase tickets for one of the parks, but the tickets are not interchangeable. This means that if you buy a ticket for Tokyo Disneyland, you can only enter Tokyo Disneyland, not Tokyo DisneySea.
Similarly, if you purchase a ticket for Tokyo DisneySea, you cannot use it to enter Tokyo Disneyland. To visit both parks, you would need to buy separate tickets.

When people visit Japan, they often want to go here, which is why there are many tour agents selling tickets to Tokyo Disneyland. However, the most popular and official ways to purchase tickets for Tokyo Disneyland Resort are through three main channels:

FAQ
In my opinion, I would recommend avoiding weekends and Japanese public holidays, as it gets especially crowded. You’ll have to wait much longer in queues for both rides and restaurants. It’s best to choose weekdays that don’t fall on public holidays.
The recommendation is the same as “When should you visit Tokyo Disneyland?” which is to avoid weekends and Japanese public holidays.
You can book tickets for Tokyo Disneyland up to 2 months in advance.
As a general recommendation, it’s advised to spend at least one day at Tokyo Disney Resort. If you want to visit both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, it’s best to allocate one day for each park, making it a two-day visit.
However, if you’re not too focused on the rides and prefer a more relaxed experience, you could consider purchasing a half-day ticket or visiting during certain times of the day.
*** The number of days to spend at the resort is a very personal decision. People’s preferences vary greatly. Some can stay for a week, enjoying Disney, while others are satisfied with just 1-2 days. It really depends on personal preferences. Some visitors could even stay within Disneyland, dining and staying at affiliated hotels for a whole month!
Currently, all Disney parks around the world have discontinued the use of the FastPass system. Now, there are only two options available: the Tokyo Disney Resort 40th Anniversary Priority Pass and the Disney Premier Access.
You can read more about how to use these passes in the article I wrote specifically about this topic here > What is Disney Premier Access? Should You Buy It? What Can You Ride with It?
In the case where a child is under 3 years old, they can enter the park for free. However, if the child is 4 years old or older, they will need to purchase a park ticket.
You can purchase the DPA (Disney Premier Access) for Tokyo Disneyland directly through each park’s app, which is very convenient. Typically, when using the app, you can scan your ticket or reserve ride queues within the park, as the app is used to book and scan QR codes. Therefore, I recommend downloading this app onto your device in advance.
Yes, it is possible. I recommend scanning your ticket in advance as it makes booking rides and shows much more convenient. You can use your phone to make reservations directly. Once a booking is made on one device, other members can also download the app on their devices to check schedules for other rides and shows.
For guests staying at Tokyo Disney Resort hotels, there is a special privilege allowing them to purchase park tickets at any time. They don’t need to book tickets in advance and can still purchase them even if tickets from other channels are sold out for that day.
