TOKYO, July 14: The operator of Tokyo Disney Resort said Tuesday it will raise its maximum entrance fees from October, the first price increase in three years.
According to Oriental Land Co.’s price list for the next three months, the price of a one-day adult ticket will rise by up to 1,500 yen (US$9.30) to 12,400 yen.
The prices vary by day of the week and time of year, and increases apply on days of high demand, such as public holidays and seasonal events.
A spokesperson of the firm said, “Rising labour and administrative costs are becoming a burden.”
Oriental Land introduced dynamic pricing in March 2021. Adult tickets have until now been priced between 7,900 yen and 10,900 yen, but the firm stopped disclosing the full pricing range, suggesting prices could rise further.
In June, the firm raised parking fees at the resort by 1,000 yen, setting the rates at 4,000 yen for standard passenger cars and 6,000 yen for large vehicles.
Oriental Land also plans to end its free priority pass service on Aug. 31, leaving paid options as the only way for visitors to secure priority access to selected attractions and shows.
