Planning your Tokyo Disney tickets and app options
Before you go: three things that change your plan
- Link everyone's tickets in the app before you enter. Entry Request and Premier Access both open only after you are inside the park, and your party gets one Entry Request try per day for each venue. One person can make that request for the whole group, but only if every ticket is already linked in the same app group.
- Budget ¥1,000–2,500 per person for each ride with Premier Access. Ride prices on the official list run from ¥1,000 to ¥2,500. The ¥3,500 top price is for some parades and shows, so a family of four buying two rides should plan on roughly ¥8,000–20,000 on top of park tickets.
- Shows close to requests 45 minutes before they start. Entry Request for a show shuts 45 minutes before the performance (5 minutes before a character greeting), so make the request as soon as you are through the gate, not after lunch.

What to know first
First buy admission for the specific park (Tokyo Disneyland or Tokyo DisneySea) and date; nothing in the app replaces that ticket. In October 2026 an adult 1-Day Passport costs ¥10,900–12,400, depending on the date. Once inside, the app has three separate services. Disney Premier Access is paid and gives a set time at selected experiences. Standby Pass is free and gives a time to join the queue for a listed shop or greeting. Entry Request is a free request for selected shows or greetings, which needs a successful result. Select your whole party together, and check Premier Access times for overlaps before paying, because customer-requested changes, cancellations and refunds are generally not accepted.
Conditions to check
- A Standby Pass gives a time to join the queue for a listed shop or greeting, not a ride; Entry Request needs a successful result.
- Date changes are free online within the ticket's validity, but not to a sold-out date or the other park; there are no refunds for personal reasons.
- Staff assistance does not guarantee available slots.
- On sale
- Daily from 14:00 for the same date two months later
- Lowest 1-Day Passport
- Adults ¥8,900, juniors ¥7,400, children ¥5,300Aged 3 and under free; the price varies by date

Which ticket or app service fits your plan?
| Your situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| You only want to get into one park for the day | Buy a 1-Day Passport for that park and date (adults ¥10,900–12,400 for 1–31 October 2026) and skip the app services. |
| You arrive in the afternoon or evening | Buy an After 3 Passport (weekends and holidays, from 15:00; adults ¥7,900) or an After 5 Passport (weekdays excluding holidays, from 17:00; adults ¥6,000). |
| One or two rides matter most | Buy Disney Premier Access in the app after entering: ¥1,000–2,500 per person for rides and up to ¥3,500 for some parades and shows, with a set return time. Check for overlapping times first: after purchase, changes, cancellations and refunds are not accepted (Premier Access for a cancelled show is refunded). |
| You want to see a show or greeting | Make a free Entry Request in the app after entering: your party gets one try per day at each venue. It needs a successful result, so keep a backup plan. |
| A listed shop or greeting is busy | Get a free Standby Pass for a time to join that queue. On 11 October 2026 it covered shops, capsule toys and one Tokyo DisneySea greeting, not rides. |
| Your party has different tickets or one phone | Let one person select or scan everyone's tickets together. Without the app, designated counters sell Premier Access in person. |

Key facts
Sale date: tickets go on sale every day from 14:00 for the same date two months later. If that date doesn't exist (for example the 31st), sales open at 14:00 on the 1st of the next month. The English page says “2:00 p.m.” and the Japanese page “14:00”; neither names a time zone.
1-Day Passport for adults, October 2026: ¥10,900 on most weekdays; ¥11,900 on Saturday 10, Sunday 18 and Sunday 25 October; ¥12,400 on Sunday 11, Saturday 17, Saturday 24 and Saturday 31 October. The price is the same at both parks (read at 18:05 Japan time on 8 October 2026).
Lowest 1-Day Passport prices by age: adults ¥8,900, juniors (12–17) ¥7,400, children (4–11) ¥5,300; 3 and under free. The ticket page says these are “the lowest amount for an admission date during the eligible period”, and its calendar shows adult prices only.
After 3 Passport (weekends and holidays, from 15:00): adults ¥7,900, juniors ¥6,600, children ¥4,400. After 5 Passport (weekdays excluding holidays, from 17:00): adults ¥6,000, juniors ¥5,200, children ¥3,800.
Changes: you can change the date online within the ticket's validity at no fee, but not to a sold-out date, and you can't change the park. There are no refunds for personal reasons.
Premier Access examples: at Tokyo DisneySea, Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey ¥2,500, Soaring ¥2,500, Toy Story Mania! ¥2,000 and Tower of Terror ¥1,500; at Tokyo Disneyland, Beauty and the Beast ¥2,500, Big Thunder Mountain ¥1,500 and Haunted Mansion ¥1,000 (Haunted Mansion is listed for 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027). The ¥3,500 top of the range is for shows at Tokyo Disneyland: The Villains' Halloween "Into the Frenzy" until 31 October 2026 and Toys Wondrous Christmas! from 11 November to 25 December 2026 (prices read on 18 October 2026).
Premier Access rules: one purchase per park ticket, for one guest each. You can buy the next one 60 minutes later or at your access time, whichever comes first. After purchase, changes, cancellations and refunds are not accepted (Premier Access for a cancelled show is refunded), and children aged 3 and under are free with an adult who has Premier Access. Without the app or a card, buy it at Guest Relations, Lost River Outfitters or Agrabah Marketplace at Tokyo DisneySea, or at Main Street House and other locations at Tokyo Disneyland; Guest Relations and Main Street House are open all day.
Entry Request is free, opens after you enter the park, allows your party one try per day for each venue, and closes 45 minutes before a show (5 minutes before a character greeting). Standby Pass covered shops, capsule toys and one Tokyo DisneySea greeting, not rides; you can get the same type again after 120 minutes or at your return time, and it doesn't guarantee entry.
The 40th Anniversary Priority Pass ended on 31 August 2026, according to the Tokyo Disney Resort FAQ read on 11 October 2026.

The four things you might pay for, side by side
Park ticket (1-Day Passport and others): ¥10,900–12,400 for adults in October 2026. It gives entry to one park on one date. Buy it online from 14:00, two months ahead. Everyone aged 4 and over needs one.
Disney Premier Access: ¥1,000–3,500 per person per experience (rides top out at ¥2,500; the higher prices are for some parades and shows). It gives a set return time at one attraction or show. Buy it in the app after entering, or at the listed shops. Everyone who rides pays; children aged 3 and under are free with an accompanying adult who has Premier Access.
Entry Request: free. It gives a chance at a set show or greeting. Make it in the app after entering: your party gets one try per day at each venue, and you select one park ticket for each person in the request.
Standby Pass: free, according to the operator's FAQ. It gives a time to join the queue for a listed shop or greeting. Get it in the app for each ticket in the party.

Worked example: a family day at Tokyo DisneySea
The party: two adults, a 14-year-old (junior) and an 8-year-old (child) at Tokyo DisneySea on Friday 16 October 2026.
1. Tickets went on sale at 14:00 on 16 August. Adults pay 2 × ¥10,900 = ¥21,800. The junior and child pay that date's prices, which the ticket page shows only as lowest prices (¥7,400 and ¥5,300), so the four tickets cost at least ¥34,500; checkout shows the exact figure.
2. At entry (say 9:00), one adult opens the app, scans all four tickets together and buys Premier Access for Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey: 4 × ¥2,500 = ¥10,000, with a return time of 11:30.
3. The next purchase is allowed 60 minutes after the first (10:00) or at 11:30, whichever is earlier, so at 10:00. Buy Soaring: 4 × ¥2,500 = ¥10,000, returning at 14:00.
4. At the same time, make an Entry Request for Dance the Globe! It is free, with one try per venue per day; if it doesn't win, you can still watch from the general area.
5. Day total at the lowest junior and child prices: ¥34,500 for tickets plus ¥20,000 for Premier Access, so at least ¥54,500. Use the checkout figure for your date.
Our view: pick one or two Premier Access rides that matter most to the family; the rest of the day works on standby queues.
Sources for this section: Tokyo Disney Resort: park tickets · Tokyo Disney Resort: Disney Premier Access · Tokyo Disney Resort: Entry Request · Tokyo Disney Resort: mixed ticket types and group bookings
1. Buy admission for the park and date you intend to visit
Start with the actual park ticket: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are not interchangeable labels in an unfinished plan. Read the product’s permitted park, day and hours. The official ticket page has its own sales calendar and product conditions. Do not treat a saved price from another day, a package headline or a pass from another Disney resort as the equivalent ticket.
Build the basic day around admission first. Paid access to an attraction is a later, separate decision, not a substitute for a park ticket. Compare totals for the same people and product scope before deciding an option is cheaper. You do not need to promise a full list of rides to make a worthwhile plan; first identify what the party most wants and what would remain enjoyable without an extra booking.

2. Separate the app services by the job they do
Disney Premier Access is a paid reservation for an eligible experience at a designated time. Standby Pass is a different service that can control access to a venue or its queue during the listed period. Entry Request is another process for selected entertainment or greetings. Securing one does not replace the others or establish that every experience is covered.
Use a simple three-column note: experience wanted, service currently required, and what is still unknown. The Premier Access prices above were read on 18 October 2026, and some experiences are offered only for set periods; don't copy an older attraction-by-attraction strategy. A shop’s limited-period access rule is not a park-wide rule for every ride. None of these extras includes park admission.
The official FAQ notes that the 40th Anniversary Priority Pass ended on 31 August 2026. Older app screenshots or questions may still mention it, but this pass is no longer offered.
Sources for this section: Tokyo Disney Resort: Disney Premier Access · Tokyo Disney Resort: Standby Pass · Tokyo Disney Resort: Entry Request · Tokyo Disney Resort: active app features and Priority Pass end date
3. Plan for the whole group, not just from one screen
The official mixed-ticket FAQ says guests using different ticket forms can still use app services together. After entering, the relevant party tickets can be selected or scanned for the service. Separate purchases or entries can result in different time slots or viewing positions, so coordinate the party before confirming.
Agree on one person to make selections for the party, and double-check that every companion is included. A success screen for one person does not confirm entry for anyone whose ticket was not selected. If a member of your party arrives later, don't assume you can book for them remotely: Premier Access and Entry Request are made after entering. Keep your QR codes secure: sharing full group screenshots can inadvertently reveal sensitive booking details.
Sources for this section: Tokyo Disney Resort: mixed ticket types and group bookings
4. Before paying, make sure the time slot fits smoothly into your day
Premier Access has designated times and does not override an attraction’s participation requirements. After purchase, changes, cancellations and refunds are not accepted; Premier Access for a cancelled show is refunded. This is a Premier Access rule, separate from the park-ticket date-change options above.
Check your pass times against meals, shows, and park walking times before confirming. A shorter line doesn't mean the attraction takes zero time, nor does it guarantee a set number of rides per hour. A cheaper pass with an unusable time slot isn't a saving. If paid extras make your day feel rushed or stressful, skipping them and keeping your plan flexible is often the better move.
Sources for this section: Tokyo Disney Resort: Disney Premier Access
5. Clearly account for any uncertainty with Standby Pass and Entry Request
Standby Pass covers listed venues only: on 11 October 2026 that meant shops, capsule toys and one Tokyo DisneySea character greeting, not rides. The list can change, and holding a pass does not guarantee entry. If you cancel your assigned slot to look for a different time, you may be left with no replacement. Always rely on the official app and current venue notices rather than outdated lists in travel guides.
Check Entry Request availability for your chosen show or greeting. Your party gets one try per venue per day; select a park ticket for each person who will take part and check the result. Prioritise one core experience, and keep alternative plans ready that do not rely on an unconfirmed request. A reliable plan is not about ticking every single box—it distinguishes confirmed reservations from optional activities. When in doubt about service status or app displays, speak with a Cast Member.
Sources for this section: Tokyo Disney Resort: Standby Pass · Tokyo Disney Resort: Entry Request
6. No app, or a phone that can't run it? You don't need to buy a new device
Tokyo Disney Resort provides clear options for guests without the app and for younger visitors. Depending on your ticket type, an app-equipped companion or guest service staff inside the park can assist, and designated counters sell Premier Access in person. Check your options rather than assuming every visitor needs their own smartphone, payment card, and data plan.
Before leaving, make sure you know how your admission tickets will be displayed and who to contact regarding optional add-ons. Never arrive expecting staffed guest services to have spare slots for your preferred times. Always separate assistance with using a valid ticket from guaranteed access to a ride or show. Having a simple group plan with a clear backup option is far more helpful than buying extra gear for issues already covered in official guides.
Sources for this section: Tokyo Disney Resort: guests without the app
7. Save a workable plan, not an unverified optimisation formula
The night before your visit, double-check your date, chosen park, ticket format, account login, party setup, and the latest official service guidelines. Once in the park, use the options available in real time to shape your day, rather than sticking to an outdated plan and making purchases that no longer fit. Prioritise a few key must-dos, and keep walking, dining, and rest times flexible for everyone.
This guide does not book park admission or app services, or offer live queue forecasts. Spending more does not guarantee a better visit. Keep booking confirmations and credentials secure. If your plans change, the date can be changed online at no fee within the ticket's validity, but not to a sold-out date or the other park.
Your next step
1. Count back two months from your visit date for the ticket sale date. Using 14:00 Japan time (UTC+9) for this conversion, a sale up to 24 October 2026 is at 06:00 in London and 07:00 in Paris; for the remaining 2026 sale dates from 25 October, it is 05:00 and 06:00. Use the sale date, not the visit date: this is our time-zone conversion, and the cited ticket pages do not explicitly name a time zone.
2. Install the Tokyo Disney Resort App and create one MyDisney account for the person who'll run the group.
3. List your top two rides from the Premier Access prices above, and budget ¥1,000–2,500 per person per ride (¥2,500 for Frozen Journey, Soaring or Beauty and the Beast).

Questions about this guide
What if Tokyo Disney Premier Access is sold out?
Your park ticket still works; Premier Access is an optional extra. Queue normally, try Entry Request for shows, and check the app again later: each purchase is limited, and sold-out times can't be booked.
What is the difference between Standby Pass and Entry Request?
Both are free. Entry Request gives your party one try per day at each venue for a selected show or greeting; each selected park ticket covers one person, and you need a successful result. Standby Pass gives a time to join the queue for a busy shop or greeting; on 11 October 2026 it covered shops and capsule toys and one Tokyo DisneySea greeting, not rides.
Can one person manage Tokyo Disney tickets for a group?
Yes. In the app, one person selects or scans every party member's ticket (app or printed) and buys Premier Access or makes Entry Requests for everyone at once. Booking people separately can give them different times.
What if someone in my Tokyo Disney group does not have the app?
They don't need it: whoever has the app can scan their ticket and include them. Without the app or a card at all, buy Premier Access at Guest Relations (Tokyo DisneySea) or Main Street House (Tokyo Disneyland), both open all day, while slots last.
