Tokyo Disney just announced the return of their One-Day Park Hopper Tickets – but are they actually worth buying? Let us take a quick look.
This post was updated in November 2025 to reflect the second release of Park Hopper tickets for early 2026.
What Are Park Hopper Tickets?
They are tickets that allow you to visit both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea in one day, with a single ticket.
The deal is that you enter one park, and then, any time after 11 am, you can visit the second park.
The tickets were first re-released over the Summer of 2025 for a limited time, but they’re back again for park visits between January 13 and March 31 2026.

How Much Does a Park Hopper Cost?
They will vary depending on the projected crowds on a given day, but the range is …
| Adult | 14,500 yen – 18,900 yen |
| Junior | 11,900 yen – 15,500 yen |
| Child | 8,600 yen – 9,600 yen |
Is It Cheaper Than Current Options?
So, the big question now is, how does that compare in pricing with the current options available to visit two parks in one day? There are three of these…
1. Buying Two Regular Passes
| Ticket 1 | + Ticket 2 | Total | |
| Adult | 7,900 – 10,900 | 7,900 – 10,900 | 15,800 – 21,800 |
| Junior | 6,600 – 9,000 | 6,600 – 9000 | 12,000 – 18,000 |
| Child | 4,700 – 5,600 | 4,700 – 5,600 | 9,400 – 11,200 |
Verdict: If you’re going on a day when tickets are priced at 7,900 yen, it’s cheaper to buy two one-day passes. If it’s a day when tickets are at their maximum price, it’s cheaper to buy the Park Hopper.

2. Buying a One-Day Pass and an Early Evening Ticket
Tokyo Disney offers two types of evening tickets: Weeknight and Early Evening.
The Early Evening ticket lets you into the park from 3pm on weekends and holidays.
So, how does this compare price-wise?
| One-Day Passport | + Early Evening | Total | |
| Adult | 7,900 – 10,900 | 6,500 – 8,700 | 14,400 – 19,300 |
| Junior | 6,600 – 9,000 | 5,300 – 7,200 | 11,900 – 16,200 |
| Child | 4,700 – 5,600 | 3,800 – 4,400 | 8,500 – 10,000 |
Verdict: It’s likely to be cheaper to buy the One-Day Pass and an Early Evening pass than the One-Day Park Hopper if you’re visiting at weekends or on a public holiday.
3. Buying a One-Day Pass and Weeknight Ticket
The Weeknight ticket lets you enter the park at 5 pm on weeknights .
How does this compare cost-wise?
| One Day Passport | + Weeknight Ticket | Total | |
| Adult | 7,900 – 10,900 | 4,500 – 6,200 | 12,400 – 17,100 |
| Junior | 6,600 – 9,000 | 4,500 – 6,200 | 11,100 – 15,200 |
| Child | 4,700 – 5,600 | 4,500 – 6,200 | 10,200 – 11,800 |
Verdict: This is the most cost-effective way to visit two parks in one day, if available to you.
So, there are the costs and the rules, but there’s one more thing to think about…
Can You Really See Both Parks in Two Days?
Erm, not really. Ideally, you need a whole day for Disneyland and one or two for DisneySea.
I think they’ve introduced the One-Day Passport more for the local market, who will hop around the parks throughout the day to see things they haven’t done before. We tourists need a lot more time in the parks to fully enjoy them, and so I’m not really sure it’s a bonus for us.
However, if you do only have one day in the parks, though, combining a One-Day Passport and an Evening Ticket can allow you to see both worlds at the cheapest price.

Buying Early Evening Tickets or Weeknight Tickets
You can only buy the Evening and Weeknight tickets directly from the Tokyo Disney Resort website or app. Third-party ticket sellers don’t have it, which can be an issue if the Disney site won’t take your credit card.
The Disney site can also have a bit of a tantrum if you try to buy too many different tickets in one go.
For this reason, if you do want to book an Evening or Weeknight passport, make this your first purchase. Then, if they do block your card for the second ticket, you can just pop onto a third-party like Klook and pick it up there.
