  Looking at the prices one by one you go "that's steep 😭" but then you see the total and it's like, wait, actually not bad?? Weird feeling! A full day of fun for ¥20,000 — I'd call that worth it!

  1個1個の値段見てると高ぇ〜😭ってなるけど、最後の合計見るとあれ？意外と安くね？ってなる不思議！ 丸一日楽しめて2万なら有りだねー！

• @ゆに-j8i👍 569

  Around ¥20,000 per person including the park ticket feels cheap to me! I haven't been in so long I didn't even know what DPA was 😂

  入園料込で1人あたり2万前後なら安いきがする！ 久しく行ってないからDPAが何か分からんかった😂

• @聖邪-z5l👍 536

  Watching along it feels expensive, but three people going all-out for a whole day at ¥70,000 total is cheap.

  途中途中で見ると高いと思うけど3人が1日豪遊して7万なら安いな

• @yangjiej4756👍 64

  I'd heard ¥100,000, so I'm surprised a weekday for ¥20,000 gets you a pretty good time.

  １０万円と聞いていたので、平日なら２万円でそこそこ楽しめるのかと驚いた

• @mekisimouamatou👍 595

  I've never been — all I knew was "it's expensive." So I watched thinking "yep, pricey, just like the rumors"... and THIS counts as cheap? Honestly terrifying.

  行ったこと無くて高いってのだけは知ってたから噂通り高いなぁ思ったらこれで安いんか 怖いでほんま

• @みそ-g5x👍 127

  Add souvenirs and a headband and it's ¥30,000 per person… feels cheap until you remember Tokyo people can always come back, so the ones really splurging are visitors from other prefectures. With transport that's ¥50,000, add a hotel and next-day meals and you're at ¥60,000–70,000. Fine as a reward-to-yourself trip?? Rough for a family though.

  これプラスお土産とかカチューシャって考えると1人3万か…安く思えるが 都内の人はまた来れるからそんなにお金使わないし こうやってお金惜しまずディズニー楽しむ一般人は地方から来る人が多いから 交通費込で5万円。 ホテルとか次の日のご飯とか考えたら6万～7万円か…。ご褒美旅行と思えば安いか？？ 1人ならまだしも家族はしんどいな😇

  I hate being glued to my phone tapping for DPA. But I don't want to stand in line for hours either... so the result is I just don't go.

  DPA意識してスマホぽちぽちするのが嫌。 かといって数時間も並びたくない。。 結果行かないという選択になる。

• @ic-ms1bh👍 83

  It made me sad that you can't properly enjoy the park without a smartphone. The land of dreams — and digital.

  スマホがないとまともに遊べないのに悲しくなった。 夢とデジタルの国だな。

• @かにさん-x7c👍 16

  Good benchmark. I'm a local who goes all the time, and seriously, this is what it costs now.

  いい基準だ。現地民でよく行くけど、今はマジでこんなもんです。

• @kitaca55👍 7,037

  University students are on spring break right now, so don't let your guard down thinking it's a normal weekday lol

  大学生が今は春休みだから普通の平日と思っても油断できないw

• @ankou_game👍 1,204

  So you can line up from 6 a.m. and still not get a Frozen standby pass. That's some insane popularity.

  朝6時から並んでもアナ雪のスタンバイパス取れないんだ、人気すごいな

• @shojiki_sweets👍 1,325

  [Correction from the creator] We got the Frozen DPA at 9:00 and Peter Pan at 10:00 — my mistake in the video: 11:00, when the third DPA slot opened up, was when they sold out.

  【訂正】9時アナ雪、10時にピーターパンのDPA取得。3つ目のDPAできる11時に完売の間違いでした。

• @user-in7_w6uu4w👍 19

  USJ sells its Express Passes as a ¥20,000-ish bundle per person, so Disney selling DPA à la carte at ¥2,000 a ride is honestly generous. That said, they clearly allocate too many slots to DPA — the regular lines are way too long.

  ユニバだとエクスプレスパスはセット売りで一人2万とかするから、２０００円とかでバラ売りしてるディズニーはかなり優しい来はする ただ明らかにDPAに枠を割きすぎて一般列が長すぎるのは問題だけど

Where locals go instead

• @黒糖プリン-u3f👍 86

  The single best day to go this time of year is Sunday. Weekdays have weekday pricing so they overflow with students on break, Saturdays are what working adults pick, but on Sunday most people have work the next day and it's holiday pricing — so it's the least crowded. Just my personal read.

  この時期のディズニーで1番行くべき日は日曜日ですね 平日は平日料金から春休み学生で溢れてて 土曜日は社会人が選ぶことが多いので混んでる 日曜日は次の日仕事の人が多いのと休日料金で他の日と比べて人が少なめ あくまで個人的体感です

• @ぴpidayo👍 17

  From an out-of-town Disney nerd who went this month: entering at 5 p.m., I got evening DPAs for Frozen and Peter Pan, and rode Rapunzel twice on standby before the 8 p.m. close. If you're solo, aggressively refreshing the app actually gets you passes. Solo Disney is fun — hope this helps 🐭🎀

  今月行った遠方ミニヲタから 17時からの入園でDPAは、19時代のアナ雪、ピーターパン スタンバイで20時閉園前ラプンツェル2回いけました 1人だとアプリ鬼リロードすると意外と取れます 1人でも楽しいので参考になれば🐭🎀

• @ぼーろたまご-v4n👍 40

  Nutrition aside: bring your own drinks and live off a few kinds of popcorn — it's cheap, fills you up, kills queue time, and works even when tastes differ. Perfect for students on a budget who want to focus on rides. Keep the bucket and you can refill it on every visit.

  栄養ガン無視だけど飲み物持参して、ポップコーン数種類が安くて、お腹も膨れて、待ちの時間も潰せるし、好み分かれててもどうにかなるから、お金ない、アトラクション中心に回りたい学生にはおすすめ。 バケットは取っておけば何回でもリサイクルできるし、食べ切らないでアトラクションきてもどうにかなる

FAQ

How much does a day at Tokyo DisneySea cost per person?

In the source video, a weekday including the park ticket, three paid Premier Access passes and plenty of food came to roughly ¥20,000 per person (as of the video, Feb 2025). Commenters from outside Tokyo add transport and a hotel and estimate ¥50,000–70,000 for the full trip.

What is Disney Premier Access (DPA)?

DPA is Tokyo Disney Resort's paid per-ride skip pass — commenters describe it as roughly ¥1,500–2,500 per attraction, bought in the app, replacing the old free FastPass. In the video, DPA for the popular rides was sold out by 11 a.m. on a "quiet" weekday.

Are weekdays really less crowded at Tokyo DisneySea?

Not always — the second most-liked comment (7,037 likes) warns that during university spring break a weekday is not a normal weekday. One commenter's counterintuitive pick for that season is Sunday: weekday pricing pulls in students on break, while most workers avoid the day before work.

Is Tokyo DisneySea cheaper than Universal Studios Japan?

Several commenters who know both parks say yes on food, and note USJ's Express Passes are typically sold as a bundle around ¥20,000 while Disney sells DPA per ride for about ¥2,000 — though one adds that so many slots go to DPA that the regular lines have gotten painfully long.
